I just beat two different hunters back to back. First game I was at exactly 10 life on turn 6. I dropped 2 giants, gave them taunt, healed for 6 and then hit him in the face with my weapon. I ended turn 6 on 18 life with 2 8/8 taunts. Finished it turn 9 with 27 health. Second game I had...

Paladin giants. Running 4 giants as well as rag, cairne, tink and pagle. I played a lot of arena so I have a decent selection of cards. To be honest in season 2 I got to rank 7 with a spell hunter deck, but that was because no one played hunter then and people had no clue of how to play...

I have only been playing constructed for a few days, so am at rank 7. It doesn't seem that bad against hunters. If they get a good draw and I get no holy light or sunfuries then I might die by turn 6, but usually I still have >10 life at turn 6.

I have been playing some paladin giants. It beats it at least half the time. I run 2 holy lights, 2 truesilvers, a guardian of kings and a lay on hands, so I can often get a free molten or two out and then heal up. If I don't draw moltens then I will probably draw consecrates. I also run a...

People would pay other people to do the quests for them. I recall hunters logging into other people's accounts just to do the quests for them.

Faceless Manipulator?

My weekend arena streak was: 11-3, 11-3, 11-3, 0-3. I have no idea how that happened. Because this is not a physical card game that are extra random elements. it is like random multiplied by random.

Also Ut, you don;t need a crystal ball to predict that there will be login problems on launch day. Even WoW had them, as well as other big money games like D3. Apart from Google, does anyone have servers that can authenticate hundreds of thousands of users at the same time?

You are being unrealistic. We all know that this game will lose more than half of launch players within a month, but all mmorpgs do at this point. Triple A mmos are expensive to make, so if someone invests into them then they want to maximize their chances of making a profit. Mmorpgs are...

I am not in beta so this is pure speculation, but if the developers don't add the functionality... you can probably use LUA to get a list of all the players who are close to you and display it somewhere on your screen, but you are not going to be able to stick the nameplates on to character...

Many questlines also reward skillpoints, so at some point you might want to do all of the quests anyway.

Surely that is not how it works? I assumed that there was dynamic instancing. Basically, each VM has its own instance of the area, as VMs are created on demand. That is pure speculation, but it seems the simple and sensible way.

On the second Daggerfall island there were problems with Wraith spawns in the cemetary, which was an essential quest line to get to the mainland. My second character ran into this and it lasted at least a few hours. Then, in the Daggerfall zone my second character at one point had 1 disabled...

Rhino, by day 3 the server had problems spawning many quest objectives. You would often see dozens of players waiting for them to spawn, but sometimes they just never did. It was not broken quests, but rather a broken server that seemed to need a reboot.

The devs could easily implement it, the only question is if they would want to. They have to send information to all clients regarding who does damage to what, right? So if they let you log your own then they could easily let you log what other people are doing. At that point making...

My newbiew dungeon experience: It took perhaps 4 abilities or 8 hard white hits to kill a mob. Mob pack size ranged from 4 to 12. A 12 mob pull was absolutely no joke and we wiped multiple times because I messed up my block timing (you have to block the telegraphed attacks when you are...

I think the biggest reason than I liked this game is that I had low expectations. I thought that it would be horrendously bad, and at first it seemed to be. But I decided to give it a good go and it really grew on me. It is not a game that I will be playing for years to come, but I imagine...

The ability lag will be server side and nothing to do with your connection. The load on the server increases exponentially with the number of players present. Basically, they need better server code or better servers. But again, the whole point of a stress test is for them to gather data on...

Load times were not the only problem this weekend. At one point I had 6 quests in my journal that could not be completed because the server was not spawning the npcs that I needed. This is the sort of thing that the stress test was designed to find though, so I am hoping that they fix it and...

I only know as much as you do from the weekend beta. From what I can tell from low level, the attributes gained on level up increase the max a lot but only a little regen, while items can add a lot of regen. Glyphs and soul gems can be used to help customize gear in this way. You get a...

I obviously don't yet understand how things scale in this game, but I have soft capped magicka regen with items. I have a direct damage + knockdown ability that uses magicka, as well as a damage shield and other options (aoe). My stamina regen is not capped, but my taunt does damage and uses...

You might as well link the addon in the thread, no? Those of us who are not in beta cannot use it anyway, so I don't think it is a big NDA breach.

I played this some more last night and focused on playing around with blocking and interrupting. It's actually really well done. If you block a big hit then the mob becomes disoriented and will be knocked down by the next hard attack to hit it. When you are in a dungeon and have 6 mobs on you...

The quest helper makes the whole game about orienteering. It is completely boring. I am doing quests to level up without actually enjoying playing the game. I made a new character to try a different build, and the first two zones where much more enjoyable when I explored and did the...

Quest Helper really hurts this game. Following the arrow to the next waypoint makes questing mindnumbingly boring. The best quest I have done is the treasure riddle thing on the first dc island, because you had to solve it without the quest helper. However, if you just follow the arrows then...

I found the starting island a bit boring, but it does get a lot better once you get to the mainland. The combat still does not feel right, though.

I am sometimes getting loading screens that last several minutes. Server problems or memory leak? (I have a decent system, sometimes it loads instantly).

So I went reading their forums while stuck in a queue, and I find this really funny. how do i play with friends? - Elder Scrolls Online General Discussion - Bethesda Softworks Forums No beta forum access, yet we are under strict NDA. And after my estimated queue time got high enough it...

I think the control system / UI will take some time getting used to, as it is a bit of a blend of console and mmo. I am not ready to write the game off yet, though. My complaint with it so far is really that I am stuck on an island (again) doing a quest chain step by step with no way to...

Weekend beta has started (working for me).

I just downloaded and patched and it is sitting at 29.4 gb, but I suppose it might temporarily of used more while patching. The client works but 'beta is not currently in session'. I guess I have to wait until tomorrow.

In that case there should not be any text-based chat because a chat window is a UI element that is not needed in a 3D world. Everyone has access to microphone's now, so you should have to chat verbally and only characters that are close to you can hear you.

Even if you are correct, you don't fix it by making a game exactly like EQ. You look at the specific details of why people don't invest as much time into games now. Using a chat channel instead of an LFG tool is not going to suddenly make the game have a much better community that will keep...

When using chat to find groups, you also need to consider the range of the chat. If it is a global chat then it will move too fast, so we have to use regional chat, typically something like shout. That means moving to the dungeon before you find a group. To be honest that is the biggest...

For those people that are not familiar with the DDO LFG tool (Because it is the best that I have seen): You see a list of groups that are looking for members, for each groups you see: Party leader name, Location(s) that party wants to go to, comments (if any). When you hover the mouse over a...

Lack of a grouping tool can prevent exploration. If you have to travel to a destination before looking for a group then people are more likely to just go to the popular destinations because they know that they can find a group then they get there. Personally, I do not like WoW's LFG tool...

Maybe he just wants to be played by Dicaprio in a movie.

Yeah the no extras one is $80 here. I just have a bad feeling about paying more than games usually cost for an mmo with no beta and an NDA 8 weeks before launch.
