It depends on whether the outcome of a Rally Call is durable. If victory conditions aren't persistent (or the "correct" condition is inevitable), then they're just large public quests in similar vein to what we've seen before.

"full PVP" That's so vague. Item loot, FFA (or even RvR) PvP would certainly get me on the bandwagon though.

ugh

Can you clarify what "issue" you're referring to? The fact that developers can't make content fast enough? Or do you believe that ability to tolerate a timesink/hours of trivial gameplay should be the differential for success in game?

Very strong first episode.

Fucking epic. Saul and Jessie are as good as dead.

The myth of history persists in concert with the harsh reality of feudalism. The cartel of land is replaced by the cartel of ideas, even the means of control veiled behind the metaphor of money. The dissemination of untruth becomes the true currency as the value of productivity is obscured by...

Racial tension is the wool pulled over the eyes of the somnambulent public. The super wealthy corrupt our institutions and institute wage slavery with the soporifics of the American Dream, Freedom, and Security. The poor and middle class squabble amongst each other over the remaining scraps...

Parker's on Ponce is good and you can walk around downtown Decatur, go to Brickstore, etc. after.

It's easy to feel lonely after being in a long relationship. Don't rush into anything. Date a few people and get comfortable being single and you'll be in a better place in the long run.

You're not whining here, but the tone of your texts is very needy and she's clearly friendzoning you. If you want to date that chick, you've got to make her see you as a potential mating partner rather than as a friend. Demonstrating sexual or romantic confidence is generally the best way to...

Jesus man. That needy, whiny shit doesn't work. Step up your game. Tell her that your single, but drop it in to conversation by telling her about your date with some other chick. The goal is to make her feel jealous, not sorry for you.

There will be a new client.

I reckon so. I didn't really try it in P3 because it was relatively pointless. I plan on using the stored leves for gathering xp, because it was incredibly tedious leveling mining.

There was a way to exploit crafting leves by turning in vendor items. This was particularly expoitable with Alchemy. I'm not sure if that got fixed.

Seriously, if you've got the flow, let it flow. If you don't, you shouldn't let it grow.

The "cleric problem" was solved in 2004 anyway. Hybrid class X that does 90-95% of the healing efficiency of a dedicated healer pretty much made the problem obsolete under all but the most demanding circumstances. The idea that modern MMO grouping requires a class that does nothing well but...

confirmed rube

Except that in the midst of all the "so...we know what we're doing" and the "I can only say we avoid bad design decisions" fluffery, they're actually committing to no open world PvP and no damage to player structures.

Can't be a sandbox without open world PvP. Can't be a fully destructible environment if I can't damage player structures. Half the fun of a sandbox is kicking over the other guy's castle. Can't be LoLMMO if it's the most carebear PvE game possible. Can't even pick a side on the world events...

Hey man, I had a great time playing WoW. I loved leveling my arms warrior in contested zones. I had a great time raiding in vanilla. When we killed Viscidus and I got the Sharpened Silithid Femur, I felt a huge sense of accomplishment. No one else on the server had it for months. The easy...

haha, no

Nobody does. That shit's for life bro.

I can easily deny it until they actually do it. They haven't demo'd any meaningful gameplay. It's easy to make your game sound evolutionary when it's still just ideas in your head. There needs to be an actual game before it redefines anything. Yes, you are a gamer god and the genre is just...

Well, that may be, but there are a lot of people in this thread that want to see "living, breathing" or "immersive" worlds. To me, there's nothing more immersion breaking than walking into a dungeon or a castle with a few of my friends and seeing a bunch of monsters just standing around waiting...

My ideal game comes with electrodes to attach to my balls.

hah To add more substance...the whole problem with the genre (and the holy trinity/class thing) is the formula. Generic monster X stands around waiting to be killed as a exp/loot/gatekeeper pinata. Until the genre develops some activities that require more complex interactions than you hit...

Bitching about spoilers on the internet is fucking weak.

A well constructed FFA PvP concept is exactly what the market needs. Sadly, SOE is making this game.

That's prostate cancer, not colon cancer.

As if Dumar's opinions (about gaming) can in any way be construed as sane.

This the kind of chat that keeps the group entertained for the endless hours in the same room? You see? If you don't like it, it's "DDR." You don't have to be so partisan. In any case, my preferred game will require engagement in combat beyond hitting autoattack and tabbing back to porn...

You are correct, but your reply is a non sequitur. In a mud type combat system, being lazy and being bad are essentially the same thing. Thus, if I am too clumsy to correctly execute my button mashes, I can do the work to make some macros. If I am too stupid to figure out which talent set up...

So you want combat paced to the point where you can be terrible and still succeed, but you also want the pace of progress to be slow enough that anyone who doesn't have 4-6 hours a day to spend in game will be falling behind you? You also manage to couch it in the most hostile terms possible...

Moon is great. Dark City, Pandorum...

Clearly, the script was not written with such trivia as logic, sense, or continuity in mind. But itwasa very pretty movie.

What the fuck is "enough money?" No such thing. They're talking up "sandbox" and similar buzzwords because they want to create brand differentiation in a market saturated with WoW and its clones. You can bet, however, that SOE will do everything in their power to make this game accessible to...

I love this thread. It makes me feel smug and self-satisfied. There's a reason WoW changed the market. If you think any executive is going to waste a 100 million dollars making a game for the EQ "core gamer," I just don't know what to tell you. Producers making big budget games want that...

I think EVE has done a lot of things right with player driven content in 0.0. The problem with EVE is that the basic mechanics of the game are boring and the metagame is interesting. A game with interesting basic mechanics that drive an interesting metagame would be extremely fun. SP is also...
