Got the game yesterday and got up to level 8 before I realized it was getting really late. Playing as esper and have gotten to the point where I have more abilities I can use than slots available. I know some people enjoy games where you are required to build a deck with abilitsies that have...

I do have a LogitechG500 mouse but I also have carpal tunnel in my right wrist so I have just gotten used to using my left hand for most abilities. When using ESDF, that frees up 1/2/3/q/w/a for the abilities I use the most.

I usually remap WASD to ESDF for movement because I have found using QWA keys for quick reaction abilities like interrupts, stuns etc to be very beneficial. I also use SF or strafe since I use the mouse for turning. Will that be possible in this game?

That is a good idea but I wonder if XLgames has any intent of developing more PVP content for this game? Since it failed in Korea, the impression I got was that they have turned their focus on to their next game. IMO the best alternative for the future of this game for the English speaking...

Fully agree. Of all the MMOs I have played, AAge by far has the most boring leveling experience. It is something to be endured, not enjoyed. I usually read the quest text In MMOs but not with this game because it just makes it even more boring with the poor writing. Grouping up is by far...

I'll be getting this game once the box version is available. I usually play rogue types in MMOs but the Esper sounded cool so I was planning on playing one of those. Then I read here today that there are a ton of healers out there but not many tanks. Since I like insta queues when I do pug...

Are they artificially putting in caps on server population to create login queues in order to encourage new players to roll on a lower population server?

Thanks for the detailed response.

I was referring to the scripted boss encounters in Rift, not the hassle of actually clearing the entire raid dungeon. IMO of all the MMOs I have played WoW and Rift are the top 2 in terms of having well scripted raid encounters that forced players to execute the boss strat correctly or they...

So how many weeks before the regular posters (who have complained over and over again about themepark MMOs in multiple threads and yet are somehow eager to play this one) start complaining? I liked vanilla WoW and Rift so based on what you said I would probably like this game. How is it...

What is the design rationale for making one class so stationary while every class is mobile? Is it because their abilities, once you are able to fire them off, do more DPS than the other classes?

If espers have a combo point mechanic, what mechanic do other classes have? Are they the only class whose abilities have cast times or are channeled and that's why they have to stand in place?

Rendering them may be very easy from a development perspective. They were in the game last year on PTS and removed in late 2013 so the coding is already in place. Displaying them might cause a negative hit to performance but I can't say for certain since they were already gone by the time I got...

That's the #1 thing that stood out to me in that letter. I interpreted it to mean number of total accounts. If the alpha server is currently 3X overpopulated, it means the land grab rush at launch won't be as mad the dash as a lot of people were expecting.

In your meeting with ZOS, did they say the decision to not have nameplates was based on technical reasons (i.e may cause too much lag) or a "Vision" philosophy to differentiate TESO from other MMOs?

Similar sentiment here but add in community and socialization as another reason for playing online. I'm a big fan of team building and figuring out how to beat PVE raid bosses. Most fun I ever had in a MMO was building a raid team from scratch and running Karazhan with Ngruk. As long as an...

Yet another reason why it's difficult to predict how the PVP metagame is going to play out once the game goes live. These two mega guilds built around popular streamers have so many members that they skew the outcome of just about everything in the game. The server politics metagame on a live...

Hard to predict how the open world is going to play out once the game goes live. For example, right now in alpha level 30s are getting ganked left and right by level 50s from their own faction. I'm guessing a lot of these are people wanting to test how the pirate faction works. Once the game...

Did dairy farming get nerfed?

Bondurant approves of that decision.

Do you foresee a strong possibility of class abilities that are OP in an instanced PVP game causing nerfs that negatively impact that class in PVE (or vice versa)? That always seems to happen eventually in games that try to mix end game PVE raiding and instanced PVP.

Imagine how excited Vitality would be if this game allowed cow tipping of enemy player's livestock?

My family situation has created the same mentality for me. With limited playtime, I already know my days of PVE raiding are over. Since I only have 30-60 minute chunks of available playtime, when I do play it's almost always solo. When I want to PVP, I like being able to queue up for it and...

Almost everyone praises Tera for its combat so why did the game bomb? I was in the old FOH board guild and took off 2-3 weeks for family vacation and when I came back almost everyone was gone. /derail off

I thought most of the hype was surrounding the siege part of the game, especially the part about building your own castle.

Don't most people who played WoW consider TBC a very good expansion with high quality group and raid content? If the PVE in this game is even close to TBC in quality, then that sounds like a positive to me then.

Didn't play the first two but 4.5 & 6 all had some form of PVP in the game. Played VG but only for a couple of weeks so I'll take your word on it.

Craglorn has never been marketed as a regular zone. Its been known marketed as an end game PVE "adventure zone" from the outset. The regular Craglorn content is designed for a 4 man group. The instanced content in Craglorn is designed for a 12 man raid.

It boggles my mind that anyone who has played WOW or any MMO released after WOW would be surprised that a MMO has some content designed for solo players, some designed for groups, some designed for raids and some designed for PVP. AFAIK EQ1 was the last major MMO that was only concerned with...

Let's stipulate you are 100% correct and the game is primarily designed for the TES purists. If so, then all the dire predictions about this game's financial future are pretty much all full of crap right? The opinions of the people on this forum, especially those who are PVP-focused, don't...

It's been a year or so since I read the article but what I recall is that the gathering and crafting component of Landmark would largely get incorporated into EQN's crafting system. I vaguely recall someone saying that it was possible player-built structures in Landmark could get copy/pasted...

Lot of whines on the forums from people complaining they are forced to group up to do Craglorn content, whose difficulty is designed for a full group of 4. Just goes to show no matter what kind of content a MMO implements, someone is going to whine and complain about it. On the flip side...

Those people were probably correct for launch. Then players got to level cap, realized Alliance paladins made PVE raids significantly more easier than Horde shamans, so many of the hardcore Horde raiding guilds rerolled over to Alliance. Now if you were Horde like me on a PVP server, this...

Has SOE said anything official about how the EQN Landmark game is going to be incorporated into EQN?

Both actually. Enlisted for 4 years then a commission. Was the closest you ever came to service playing Call of Duty or role playing with your GI Joe doll? Doesn't change the fact I've caught you lying and making shit up on multiple occasions, most recently yesterday. You are more than...

Of course it explains everything. When you have a well developed Bullshit Detector, it fires off on pretty much every one of Utnayan's posts. Were you in the British unit on the far west with the French on your eastern flank? I was with the 101st and we were to the east of the French. Ran...

Army. It's where I developed my well calibrated Bullshit Detector.

That is why I am curious to what Utnayan's super secret inside source has to say. Nameplates is obviously a major issue but after reading the PRX thread I would like Tuco to provide some clarification. Nowhere in that thread did it say Wheeler was overruled by Sage or Firor on nameplates in...

If Utnayan keeps insisting there are a "shit ton of things" Sage won't allow to happen, since he has inside sources don't you think he should at least share a couple of them with the us?

I'm beginning to think Utnayan just hates all MMOs. I imagine if he were to play AAge he would find plenty of things to whine and rant about in that game too.
