Making customization purely aesthetic, without any substance, really removes a lot from the game. It's like playing checkers and each checkers piece just looking different but performing in exactly the same manner as every other piece on the board. Very bland. THE POLL IS (40+25%) VS...

Let me get this straight, null-sec is 50% owned by CFC ( a goonsquad alliance ) and the other 50% of 0.0 has allied against them. So the options are either to join goonsquad, or the rest of the universe that has banded together to fight them? Does anyone have any good recommendations for...

What's the long term viability of this game? Another SWTOR hit max, enjoy leveling, and quit? I really haven't heard or read anything regarding the end-game and that's why I say that. I leveled up to 9 or so and wasn't impressed by anything, but people say it gets better so I may give it...

AFAIK my closed beta account really isn't anything except access to all the stress tests.

Wildstar isn't that bad and I have a good bit of fun playing the beta, and this is coming from someone who despises everything that WoW has become. It really isn't my cup of tea, but it's ok for what it is. Utay, stop shitting all over everything. Every fucking person here understands the...

According to my client, next beta phase is Thursday 5pm PDT. Beta phases are ridiculously short, probably ~3-7 hours for a couple days every couple of weeks.

...except EQN isn't a PvP game. They don't even know if they're going to include it until they have a poll on reddit.

There's no sandbox. There's no (meaningful) PvP. So basically the only thing there is... ...is a destructable environment.

Oh, and vagueness & "let's poll the community" just reeks of indecisiveness which is an indicator that this game has no foundation and SOE really has very little idea as to how they're actually going to make this game. That alone should be setting alarm bells off in everyone's head. When you...

I find it laughable that they are billing this game as a sandbox. I say this because when it fails, a lot of people are going to tout this as proof that "sandboxes don't work!" when in fact there's absolutely nothing sandbox-ish about this. It actually has me worried. It's like they are...

I would argue that Asheron's Call had the best, and most skill-based, combat ever produced in an MMO. It's the only game that a good player could literally win an 8v1 against evenly leveled opponents, or someone could take on someone twice his level and win. Ultima Online had great...

Accidental repost, sorry. I'll use it though. See what made Asheron's Call so great was that you had to HIT your opponent for attacks/arrows/spells to do damage. But you could also strafe cast, double cast, jump cast, and move while performing attacks. This is why you see the player...

I, to this day, do not understand why EA doesn't re-release Ultima Online with classic coding and a few modifications. The engine has aged remarkably well. There are tens of thousands of people who play free shards, and many, many more who would love to play an official server should one be...

This is one of the things that you think would be awesome when you were seven and didn't really have a notion for the feasibility of certain things. Like I used to tell my mom that I would remodel the restaurant by putting the restaurant on a island in the middle of a man made pond and then...

Sorry guys, there are a lot of reasons to rag on SOE on the direction of this game butgraphics & animations are not one of them: Traveling, attacks, interaction with the environment, and animations look like a lot of fun. Graphics look pretty fucking good too. Fast forward to ~28...

Tidbit, I am just illustrating that you can create a post in this manner and perhaps more effectively convey your point. Friday was a pretty good movie but I prefer Ice Cube's other films. Friday after Next just wasn't the same without Deebo. I feel like they were just cashing in on the...

The homogenization of the classes in WoW was something that definitely nailed the coffin shut on any desire I had to ever play that game again. Classes should be unique, special, and bring their own thing to the table. Not every class needs to be equally strong in soloing, grouping, PvP...

PARAGRAPHS WERE INVENTED FOR A REASON. YOUR POST HURTS MY EYES.

Causation vs Correlation. Vanguard failed, not because of design, but because the guy in charge was a pill popping drug addict that couldn't manage a fucking lemonade stand, much less a large company financed by one of the largest conglomerates in the world.

This is why God invented shotguns.

Red Faction had this multiplayer map with a canyon with two opposing castles/fortresses facing each other. Set the map on rockets only and make the rule: no leaving your fortress, and honestly it was probably the most fun FPS experience I've ever had. Imagine people firing rockets into the...

Why do people automatically compare any game with destructible environments to Minecraft? Minecraft wasn't the first game to host a destructible engine, and it won't be the last. The first game that did it well was Red Faction for Playstation, a game where explosives blew chunks of walls...

This guy basically condones cash shops and will neg you if speak ill of them. Bet you're glad that Blizzard is going to rape the shit out of your wallet by implementing sparkly helms.

I have an account I haven't touched in three years with 4.6 million SP. Almost all of those SPs were invested in flying a PvE/PvP Rokh with a heavy tank. Now I'm clueless again and I'm not sure what skills to raise. Can someone give me some pointers in which skills I need to cap out to be...

Not hard to predict failure in a genre that touts laughable bad design philosophies such as dungeon finders, cross server instancing, cash shops, and so forth as the path forward.

I have an active real closed beta account. Is this worth playing again? I was turned off in some of the earlier builds by how theme parkish the game was, and lack of classes.

I always thought Blizzard lied about subscription numbers. 12 million is a hard number to swallow and I just don't buy it, considering how empty a lot of servers are/were. Unless there's literally millions of people with active accounts that have subscriptions running... Statistics are...

Game has already failed IMO.

If you want retention the build a sandbox. (See: EvE Online) Unfortunately, this does seem to be another themepark. Also I don't think they've even tested the "RvR" yet at all, which is kind of weird because supposedly that's what the end-game is.

There's are many more reviews that agree with that sentiment as well. Game may not turn out to be so shitty. That leaked video that you guys linked is very old, using an out-dated build, and not representative of the game in its current incarnation...supposedly. It's also my completely...

The policy against no beta leaks has definitely ruined the quality of these forums. Instead of people posting & reading real information regarding games and having objective material to discuss, we're resolved to conversing with no foundation other than feature-sets and unadultered speculation...

Can I have more information regarding this? Have a lot of history with websites and coding.

I support some of your posts but you make some outlandish claims without any evidence. The game will likely suck, that's obvious, but they recently moved so when exactly did you go to their office, and why?

Forgetting Darktide, the Zek servers, and Ultima. All of which had great PvP. Well it depends. A lot of time is spent creating art assets for unique dungeons, i.e. reef colored walls in Blackwater Depths. If you only populate your world with one model, "a kobold" and just rename every mob...

Meh, regret posting this in hindsight.

Player made instanced battlegrounds...sound so fun! So. much. fun. So. So. So So So So So So So.... much... ...fun. Sorry, that's all I got. There has never, Ever, EVER,EVER,EVERbeen good PvP in an instance heavy MMORPG. You think these retards have been in the industry long...

So they reset development late last year and plan to release this year/early next year? That's like a year and a half of development time... which is surprisingly little for a AAA MMORPG. I'm very cautious about the amount of real SOE created content in this game; they might go a lot heavier...

One other thing. I honestly believe the parents should be prosecuted in cases like this. If your 14 year old is running the streets at 2a.m. and gets shot breaking into someone's home then you, as a parent, should be held responsible because he's still a minor and under your authority. They...

If someone is in your home in the middle of the night, or actively trying to carjack you, how the fuck are you supposed to know they aren't armed? Yes. Don't break into people's homes/fenced in yard at 2 A.M. especially in states that have applicable laws that give homeowner's the right to...

If this happened in Louisiana, Texas, or Florida then he wouldn't be going to jail. Most southern states have castle doctrine laws meaning that you can defend your car and home with deadly force if someone is breaking in. Doesn't matter how old, if they are armed, or anything like that...
