    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I think the worst thing about this KS is that it has given Booze a reason to rub his dick on the forums multiple times a day. I need to get a mouse with a free-spinning wheel again just so I can scroll past that splerg without getting any on my screen.

    So I played through the quests/starting areas for all three factions this weekend; I took one char (Pact templar) to 8, and then a Covenant sorc as well as a Dom thief to 6 and through the completion of those areas' (Bleakrock/Stros M'Kai/K-something for Dominion) quests. Let me say this: Those...

    Crazy Neighbor. Coward Landlord.

    It pretty much is like getting killed by a shark or struck by lightning: It may not happen very often in real life as opposed to in media but when it does, it isn't a one-in-a-million odds. Its 1-in-1 and that is the only life you have.

    There are some seriously talented neckbeards up in this place. That looks incredible. What are those bright lights? I put down my claim in a pass between two peaks and two different biomes and find that I am in shade most of the day. Below is the platform I built as a start and to also get...

    Some of the best of these I have found were in GW2: the attack on the Centaur Stronghold was always a great experience for me. Without good scaling, though, Kreugen makes an excellent point.

    It will definitely increase their interaction; I don't know about their socialization. When I grouped in WoW, waaay back in vanilla, very often there was almost nothing said for the entirety of the run.

    I will echo this again: ESO's first 3 or 4 levels were terrible the first time through. Now that I know what I am doing, they may be less so but its anti-Tortage: The game improves markedly and regularly as you unlock content by progressing through the story. So much wrong with the rest of...

    I think the sub is a huge part of the negative reactions to it, though. It immediately puts it into a different category for evaluation. In regards to the complaints about the "same old thing", which in large measure it is, I think is difficult for everyone, both devs and players, to let go...

    The landlord is afraid of getting sued by the crazy dude and is going all out to preempt issues that may arise in that suit. He is also building a case to get rid of you in order to ease his circumstance with the crazy dude. Definitely don't sign the addendum without consulting a lawyer. One...

    I have to say, after I finally got into the game and got past Coldharbor, it was actually really enjoyable. I have never played a game that tried so hard to get new players to not like it. I was playing a Nord and it wasn't until I was about halfway through Bleakrock that the game finally...

    I have every intention of giving this game a fair shake but sweet Tebow I can't ever even get in. Three times in the last 12 hours I have tried to log in and I just sit at the "requesting character load" for 10+min before I kill it and play something else. When I have played, the game doesn't...

    That is my process as well; my Iron and Tungsten Picks were green but all you are doing is moving up the chain. I just added them to my hotbar and would switch as the resource required, as moontayle indicated. Next upgrade, no tears were lost throwing them in the forge.

    Found this on another forum. So extremely jealous, although it would actually be bittersweet to have something like that in alpha knowing it was going away in the switch to beta. Who knows when the RNG gods will again be so kind?

    The hope was to be within 20-25% of the 800k with 72 hours to go. Lots of KS, particularly those who are close to funding but not there yet, get that level of bump in that stretch. With this, of course, the danger is not being that close. That being said, I imagine the first thing they will...

    One of my first impressions was how great the graphics were even at this early stage. They have really hit a great balance there. More realistic than WoW but still stylized enough to not age too poorly or breach the uncanny valley. That screenshot shows so much potential for atmosphere...

    While this may be troublesome now, this is exactly the kind of large-scaling test that many projects need early on. As they go forward, they are going to be able to really hone the stability of the final product. Not many devs have the luxury or the desire to get this kind of load test this...

    It looks like you have "No Permissions" checked. That would indicate to me claims where you don't have permission to build, ie everywhere. You also have your claim checked, which also shows up. At least my take on it.

    This means you aren't really on a Tier 1 island, even if you think you are, you tried to travel to one, etc. The Tier 1 islands were full and forcing people to other, less populated, higher-Tier islands. It's a reverse-black swan event they are hoping to fix as part of the patches/repairs...

    I am a total convert at this point, and a huge Georgeson fan. Reading back, you couldn't handle something like this better. Amazingly excited for the future of this game and the new SOE. Since there isn't any more NDA, let me say that I am shocked at how great the game looks already. SOOOO...

    I like this as well; mostly these days I look at MMOs as a set time experience. I enjoy leveling a few characters to max (in most cases) and then I am on to something else. Even games I really enjoy, like TSW and GW2, once I am at max level, there is only so much that I want to do. If I can...

    Ut has said good things about an MMO; I know after playing some TSW after launch he wrote good things about it. He definitely does have some folks in the industry he doesn't like, for seemingly good reasons, and he will hate on them early and often. Some of those folks are making ESO. That...

    I went for it. I really wanted to wait based upon the poor word of mouth but since I can't seem to get into any kind of beta to save my life, along with the fact that I had a bunch of GMG dollars saved up, I decided to go ahead and take a chance on it. Worst case, it wouldn't be the first...

    While I would love to hear the answer to this, it may be better to phrase it more like, "looking back, what would you like to change and improve upon in vanilla EQ and some of those first expansions". I wouldn't want Brad to comment directly on P99 asked in that fashion. I fired up P99 for...

    No doubt. The current config of the tiers, the swag, the PR campaign, the effort from all involved, a better launch video, no all brown-SLASH screenies... combine that with the theme of "we are just setting up shop but this is what we have in mind", this could have been an entirely different...
