Honestly, a near 1:1 record isn't really that bad. I'm Platinum ranked with 101-85, so not a big disparity. In theory, you should be near a 1:1 record as the matchmaking puts you against people above or around your skill level. I've had a few friends just start playing recently, and when we play...

How is this any different than most games at this point? Even in pay-to-play games, Collector's Editions always earn you in-game junk and pre-ordering gets your alpha/beta access.

The truth is, anything can work in solo queue. Except in solo queue, your success with unconventional picks has little to do with team work and communication, and more to do with individual skill. I don't think they design around a specific meta. The archetypes they make just lend itself to...

Really? They JUST released Jinx, with a global ultimate (granted, it is a skillshot). I also think Jinx is one of the best designed champions in a while. She's REALLY fun to play, and I generally don't play ADCs at all. I'm not too worried about their champion design, personally. I also think...

Finally got back up to Platinum. I was Platinum before, but I dropped down to Gold through inactivity (military deployment). Apparently if you drop tiers from inactivity, you lose that tier as your highest ranking.

I love how people keep using this quote out of context. It's hilarious.

LOL

Could be even better too, if it's as 'non-hand holding' as they've claimed. Imagine not having map icons telling you were skill ups, quest areas, or anything else is. I don't know if SoE has the balls to make it that unguided, but I love the idea of actually having to discover things. Add in...

Why exactly is it worse? I'm far from casual and I personally love the idea of no experience grind. I know there's somewhat of a grind in Guild Wars 2, but I don't even think about levels, really. I just run around exploring and having fun, and progressing is just an extra benefit. If that's...

I read it. It's just a weird request that's not worth spending any development time to implement.

Just don't look at it. What rank are you? You seriously sound like the most casual tryhard ever.

Lol. You are being such a bitch about this. It's cute that you're trying to act tough now, though. A doormat wouldn't go against popular opinion on a forum. I take my lumps in the EQNext thread and don't start crying about it. You weren't a poster from FoH were you? I don't think I'd believe...

Elitism? You want some special game mode just for your specific outlook. The answer seems simple: Don't pay attention to your wins/losses/etc. Seems simple.

Edit: Nevermind. Don't want to hurt Quaid's delicate feelings.

You're a customer as much as any of us idiots posting on these forums. If you chose to donate, that's on you. Or do you really think you deserve special treatment for it?

Jesus christ, can you be any more petty? You donated to a video game forum. He's not obligated to suck your dick because of it. If he was banning you for your opinion, you'd have reason to be upset. But you're crying because he hurt your feelings and you think he owes you something.

When it comes to things like personal preference? Not at all. I find EverQuests combat to be outdated and boring, but I do concede that it's certainly possible forsomeoneto enjoy it regardless.

Again. Opinion.

Combat doesn't solely determine the quality of an MMO, but it plays a big part. EverQuest felt more like a glorified chatroom at times because of the combat mechanics and pacing. And obviously EverQuest combat being "bad" is my own personal opinion. Didn't really think I had to qualify that...

My comment has nearly nothing to do with newness. EverQuest combat is just very unengaging, for the most part. Good for you if you enjoy it, but even the crappiest MMOs in the last decade have provided a better combat experience.

Shit, that's how I play Project 1999. Start auto attacking a mob, alt-tab and read forums until mob is dead. I think anyone who wants a game with dreadfully slow combat, long camps, and long respawns is living in the past.

I honestly didn't really get this impression during their presentations at SoE Live. Yeah they don't want blind races at the start of the game, but they did say they want dark dungeons that require torches, etc. I also think StoryBricks has the potential to make the absolute most immersive world...

If you actually read his quote he wasn't necessarily lying, but itwasdisingenuous because people thought he was talking about Next when he was talking about Landmark.

Edit: Double Post.

When have they claimed that?

Huh? I don't think you've read any of my posts except with your 'shill filter'. I've criticized them, especially for having a pretty sad marketing schedule. I've purposefully taken the stance of giving an alternative viewpoint (playing devil's advocate) for some aspects to counter the blatant...

Are you new to MMOs? Sure seems like it.

You'll try it out if word of mouth is decent. Stop acting like such a fucking hipster.

Meh, Korean MMOs seem to be 75% style and 25% substance. I'll take 75% substance and 25% style any day. They've given their justification for their artistic style: They think it works better for expressive characters, and a voxel-based world. I don't blame anyone for not liking the style...

You say this like it's a bad thing - but I think that's exactly what they're intending - and I think people will lap it up. People spend countless hours making the most intricate shit in MinceCraft for absolutely nothing except to say they did it and maybe post a few videos or images online. SoE...

I could be wrong. It's just my opinion just based on how they've talked about certain systems. Not to mention, it's not like every designer's focus applies to Landmark (such as classes or combat). I don't think the systems are necessarily far enough for them to show yet, though. They definitely...

Fuck catering to everyone. That honestly sounds like a terrible idea for an MMO.

I think that quote was mostly referring to creating/building things in Next. In that context, it makes sense. I also think they're a little further along than most people are assuming. Although there's probably a metric shit ton more to do as they've been focusing more on getting Landmark...

In that image, I actually see a bit more similarity with the older concept art. He doesn't have an ugly scowling mug, but it's not all rainbows and sunshine. I think it looks a bit better with the gray-blue skin rather than bright blue as well, especially since it's already an exaggerated art style.

The female Dark Elf concepts were shown, right? They looked a little more in-line with their current art style, and a bit less sinister than the outdated male art.

This seems like an interesting thing to get hung up about. I guess I just don't necessarily see how the concept art looks more like Halflings than Dwarves? It's Reddit. People abuse the fuck out of the downvote in nearly every subreddit.

I was really hoping the Dark Elves would look more like that original concept art as well. However, they did say back in 2012 that the old leaked images weren't going to be the direction for the new game:

So what he has to say isn't 'real discussion' just because he agrees with/defend the devs? If it rustles you too much, just stick to this forum where we can circle jerk about how big a grease ball Ponytail is.

I'm sure he's defending every little thing SoE does. But so the fuck what? Maybe he just likes the choices they've made. You get those type of people with every game. It's just sad that people are so offended that someone disagrees with their view, so they have to attack them, label them...

Yep, as we've seen on this thread. Anyone with a different opinion is obviously an obtuse shill.
