    EQ Live - Swarm Balancing (Headshot, Decapitate etc)

    I get the mage changes. Their pet tanks better than two raid warriors with 3 clerics in their back together. The beaming issues is also very valid. However the SK nerf, the nerf to headshot, the rogue change is too much. SKs swarm groups of mobs from three expansion back, Rangers can safely...

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    FF XIV did not work for me, TESO Beta was a big downer so while waiting for Warlords of Draeno I subscribed to EQ1 again for the first time after 2004. Boy a ton of people still playing (got morphed from Bristlebane to Antonius Bayle) and the game really had some great additions and improvements...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Somewhere in C:\ProgrammData\[Ubilauncherdir]. Saves are called "Save000.sav", "Save001.sav" etc. Plus one file called "saves.ini" for the titles. Took a peek: 90% ASCII/Pseudo XML and some binary stuff which might be the loading picture plus the saved map.

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    IMPORTANT: many sites have false maps and hints. Tons of stuff changed from Alpha/Beta to release. E.g. the Water Shard is no longer where most of the early access walkthroughs want it to be. (not spoilering...). Steam and Ubisoft Forum is full of people claiming "this is buggy and that is not...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Almost finished with the game. If I had to start over, I'd roll with 4 Freemages. All magic schools > Melee in this game. The best weapon I found was not remotely close to a medium Fire blast. Also mana was never an issue with unlimited potions and the small dungeon floors/fixed encounter...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Exactly what I thought after three hours, nice summary Pyros. What really baffles me: some animations look somewaht smooth, the forward dash e.g., while others jumping or running reminds of a really bad shareware game from a fred fish disc. Key quote

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    quite a momentum: clicked on "add-ons" at the main menu. Teso crashed and showed a "crash reporter". I fulfill my duty as beta tester and type in what I did. Click "submit" and the crash reporter crashes...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    22 GB download followed by a 5Gb Patch. Really so hard to code a streaming launcher these days?

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I disagree. Because EQ2 was never intended nor designed as a PvP game it was or better it still is unbelievable unbalanced in PvP. Some classes are free kills, some godmode unkillable of the player knows his stuff

    Upcoming Games of 2014

    Please be good, MM:X, please. I haven't played a decent oldschool dungeon crawler since Etrian Odyssey II (III and IV were basically reskins and the added outdoor areas did nothing for the game imho). Twisted, complex dungeons where you wonder "where is the door for the key I found (or vice...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Okay, watched Gamebreaker TVs "Twimmo" this week and even Jason Winter agrees this will likely be the most disappointing MMO release of 2014. Is there a NDA still in place? Everyone hints at TESO being really awful but no one specified more than "HeroEngine lol". Just looking for some solid...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    So - as neutral as possible - how twitchy/carpal tunnel/spammy is the combat? On a scale from WOW to Tera. After the first few hours my initial excitement took a turn and I started to hated the Tera combat model and GW2 also was a bit to "press a key every half second". I loathe combat where...

    Why did Rift fail?

    The initial Rift rush, when everyone was in the first zone, was amazing. Having to solo then later because no one cared anymore was frustrating and a waste of time. Also the skill system looked nice on paper but went cookie cuter real fast (and bloated beyond believe with +1% crit skills and the...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Okay, this is even more ridiculous than I thought: you PAY to get into alpha/beta early to create CONTENT for a FREE2PLAY game? Come on. EQ nostalgia gone too far. Also, really, this new trend - trove e.g. - to let "the community" create content for your clueless developers is the new thing...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    So to sum this up: they release clever concealed dev tools, have people pay for them and use the best generated content in their mmo? Really?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They said it does not kick in during 1-60, maybe not until 70,80. You would do 1 damage for the first 10-15 levels or so. Need more details. People going to freak anyway.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Bad orcs again, no new class, no new race, no new tradeskill, no new technology. Some decent long requested feature and the housing could be funny. However, am I the only one not super thrilled what has been shown? And take that hard from behind, 10 man HC raiders.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    They always upload the newest android version at thehttp://www.puzzleanddragonsforum.com/ At least that is where I get mine. And yes, you can play just fine and you can buy gems via google wallet, too.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That and sorry, leaves a strange feeling behind being killed by my own kin just because I pressed a splash heal at the wrong moment. Not a fan of this, does not work for me on the isle.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    I need advice. I am somewhat stuck at the Twin Temple Diana. Problem is my only Healer is a mandrake and at level 60 she heals for a whopping 235 when matching orbs. Also I have to user her as leader for this. Now especially the trash can seriously burst me down. If not for some borrowed...

    I saw this "legendary dragon rush" popping up today. Made it to the third dragon which virtually took no damage. Tried all 5 elements, special moves. 1 damage was max hit.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    Question: a colleague came back from a business to Japan and told me that they a TCG for puzzle and dragons there and if he should bring some packages/decks next time. Do they have some loot goodies in them or is the card game fully separated, anyone know?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    approaching level 20. H?w bad is it if you are not into crafting? Absolutely loathe this kind of micro economy and I do not want to run around collecting orange juice bottles from emo elves or one foot tall talking dolls. Can I just grind more gils and be good or do I miss best in slot/best...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Here I was hoping for a patch. So redownload it is (10g on only the main.exe and one texture changed, but those morons can't code a delta patcher).

    Puzzles and Dragons

    sorry for the noobish question, but are those crabs from the Groove coaster collab any good or just vanity fluff? I can not do higher difficulties than expert so I wonder if it's worth the Stamina.

    Ultima Forever : Quest for the Avatar

    The game is live now for Iphone/Ipad. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/ulti...ar/id591541650 Not much changed. They softened the repair/key rate a bit. Free players still need to grind a lot more than gold key buyers since quest items drop more often in rare (gold key bought) chests and...

    Puzzles and Dragons

    Okay, sorry I have to ask, but seeing you guys filling 300 pages I wanted to try this badly. However this game is almost impossible to get for IOS. I made a fake japanese Itunes account and downloaded version 5.40. Full japanese, which also only starts after prompted for the japanese fake Itunes...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I read the MMOChampion thread and the discussion here and what most people stated was - 8 year old game. MOP is great but people are bored with the overall game design/mechanic - too many F2P games watering down the player base, social aspect severely lacking for a lot of reasons (fun fact...

    Ultima Forever : Quest for the Avatar

    I think Barnett tries to capture the spirit of the original games. http://forever.ultimacodex.com/media...map-evolution/ At least it can't be worse than the streategy game EA released. I hope.

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    Dark Souls - Nice setting, but the controls are pretty sluggish and the itemization is not so well-thought-out. Also people make this the second coming of a hard "MMO" (really people?!) and it boils down not falling off a cliff and reacting to monster moves that make mop dailies look challenging.

    Ultima Online Forever - UO Forever - Launches 01/18

    So tempting but I saw a lot of these "free" UO servers go up and disappear again - most of them because people do not invest much time in maintenance and support after the initial rush dried out. UO would be the perfect game for me to go f2p. I seriously would buy stuff from whatever fancy shop...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Giving his amazing game record, what the hell happened to him as producer for FF XIV? I remember that interview where he explained to the journalists how jumping in MMOs is total unnecessary.
