Are you the same Falstaff from Rift?

Every MMO I have played has had a screwed up launch with WoW being one of the worst. I fully expect TESO to have some technical problems the first week or so. Has anyone here asserted it would be a smooth launch? I don't recall anyone here complaining much about lag, disconnects, etc during...

You get forced grouping like in EQ1 and some 12 man raids. Those of you who complained earlier that TESO was too much of a single player game and didn't promote socializing with other players should like AZs. I'm hoping the AZ trials are don't take 4+ hours to complete like some PVE raids in...

Every "fact" Utnayan makes up becomes true after he repeats it three times. Maybe the unknown ZOS employees who he claims post on this board leaked secret development info to him gave him that data. What I do know is a few ZOS employees publicly stated the problems with the broken quests...

After my first play session on PTS back in January and thinking to myself this is the worst UI of any MMO I have ever played, I found out about the FTC addon and have been using it ever since. With that addon, I paid attention to the buff/debuff icons that displayed. This was all simple and...

All I know is I changed the difficulty to Master and Urzael has killed me 5-6 times in a row. Either I keep missing a one-shot mechanic of his or my build/gear is not good enough for Master yet.

After figuring how to do the elective mode thing I put Serenity (with healing rune), Epiphany, Cyclone Strike (with healing rune) and Mantra of Healing (with rune that restores life every time you hit. My primary is Crippling Wave with Tsunami rune and my secondary is Lashing Tail kick with...

Aren't we allowed to have fun with him? Can you imagine how much entertainment value there is going to be next week if his biggest claim of all about the megaserver destined to be a failure doesn't come to fruition and the launch turns out to be relatively stable?

The #1 fabrication was the one where you insisted you were in the closed beta on PTS when in reality you were only in the weekend betas. Another one is where you kept claiming the post level 17 content was unfinished and that is why they wouldn't drop the NDA. There is also the obvious...

Is this claim like your other claims that turned out to be complete fabrications? Aside from Grave, who are all these numerous ZOS employees who post here? What is it about you that prompts all of these unnamed developers from MMO companies to secretly leak damaging info about the games they...

My inside source says 99.99% of the development team fully agrees with Paul Sage and thinks he is a great boss. My fictional statistic is 0.99% higher than your fictional statistic so it has to be the more accurate of the fictional exaggerations right? Curious to know why you have so much...

I'm used to figuring all this stuff out on my own with a DPS meter and target dummy. Since that isn't available for D3, is there some website where you can input your stats and build and it will theorycraft your theoretical DPS?

Does it matter what weapon type your character uses? In the short time my monk was level 60 before the expansion, the best legendary weapon I got was a 60 dagger. I ended up using a shield in the offhand. Last night I got a level 62 legendary spear that was an upgrade. The game will allow...

Thanks for the explanation. That opens up a whole new can of worms.

Keep in mind I just started playing last week so this may sound like a stupid question. If Cyclone Strike will never leave your bar, then how will you ever use Epiphany since they both go in slot #3?

You either like how the game was designed or you don't. Some people here who don't like how the game was designed have been trying as hard as they can to convince people not to buy the game. Some people here who like how the game was designed are fully aware there are still technical issues...

I've gotten so used to using Cyclone Strike followed up with Lashing Tail Kick that dropping CS for Epiphany and it's 1 minute cooldown is going to be hard. I slotted it just to play around with it and found myself not using it and saving it until I ran into yellow or purple bosses.

When leveling up my first character to 60 I started on Normal, switch to Hard in Act 2, and finished up on Expert. Once I finish Act 5, I planned to see if I could solo the game in Master mode. My question is if I start a private campaign on Master difficulty, will I be able to play in...

FYI the combat log addon will still work but its been gutted of one of its biggest tools: the breakdown of damage by everyone in the group on the target. Now you only get your damage information.

That was a good catch.

OK I can see the benefit now. Thanks for the explanation. I just got the game last week and dinged 60 on my first character this past weekend. I have no idea what these key wardens are that you mentioned. Also, if Diablo and Malthael are guaranteed to drop a legendary, why don't people...

I guess I don't understand what the benefit is. Once you get to 70 and complete Act 5, then the focus becomes getting level 70 legendary loot so that you can defeat the game at Torment levels. Correct me if I'm wrong but the chances of a chest or mob dropping legendary loot is the same...

Can someone explain what the new Adventure mode is and how gameplay is different than replaying the acts on higher difficulty ratings?

Is that a selfie? I don't recall ever defending the lack of an AH before. What I do recall in the many surveys I submitted was my opinion that AHs were a fundamental part of MMOs and that I didn't think Guild Stores were well designed and meet the demand of players.

Those arcane beams are the only things that kill me.

Maybe so but IMO there are two types of healers: those who heal because they enjoy playing a healer in MMOs and those who were forced to play a healer because the raid needed more healers. I hate healing in MMOs and will freely admit I suck at it, primarily because it gives me a headache...

Yea after being forced to respec to resto shaman to raid and then being forced to play whack a mole, I have refused to ever play a healer in any MMO since then. I will play a tank or DPS.

Actually the more entertaining future will be if TESO is relatively stable at launch and Utnayan has another massive conniption fit because he was adamant that it would be completely broken.

Some Gumps here would rather quibble over semantics and side with Utnayan than admit that.

I take it you are ignorant of how Decursive originally worked?

He wasn't right though. The original WoW API was the exact opposite of TESO. It was wide open and allowed all kinds of functionality that essentially played the game for you, especially in regards to healing and curing poisons, removing curses etc. Did you purposely ignore the part of my post...

You must have never heard about the original Decursive addon. That addon forced Blizzard to redesign the WoW API. There were other healing oriented addons the names I can't remember that made healing super simple. Deadly Boss Mod didn't play the game for you but it certainly told you what to...

FYI the large majority of closed beta testers were strongly against the API changes. ZOS definately didn't listen to us.

At the advanced stages of the game where you are decked out in legendary gear does everyone expect you to clear the dungeons ASAP even if on Torment?

I just bought the game this past week and after a couple of days I am in Act 2 and level 31. This is with the 50% EXP bonus. I originally started on Normal but it was insanely easy. I switched to Hard and have still only died once and that was due to a brain fart on my part. Thinking upping...

RTR If I ever come back to WoW I have a 85 warlock and 85 Enhancement shaman. I assume melee still gets hosed on raids so thinking the warlock would be the best option to do all the panda and then WoD. How are warlocks in raids and dungeons?

For the record, I haven't pre-ordered the game yet. Even though I have been in closed beta for close to 3 months now, the #1 concern I had with the game was stability of the megaserver technology. ZOS has yet to prove it works so that is still a cause of concern for me. To make matters worse...

Are you still hanging out in this thread so you can get offended by a game you have no intention of playing?

If you are referring to the large number of quests that broke during the last weekend beta test, in the reddit AMA they stated that was due to 3 bugs which they claim have been fixed. I agree with you that they screwed the pooch from a PR perspective.

This is correct information.
