    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    A few factors here. 1. Nobody builds for peak volume (nor should they from a business perspective) 2. Nothing else going on right now to compete 3. They didn't plan very well(at all) for these contingencies Either they grossly underestimated sales or they overestimated their hardware...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Dungeons are selling me more on this game. So far I like them and they threw three at me in a row if you follow the main quest. Just killed a blob thing and needed to figure out not to kill the add in order to pop him.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Just finished the first dungeon. Finished with a swift first completion bonus but was happy to see it did take at least a meager amount of tanking/healing to complete. You wont faceroll it without at least some cooperation. I hope this is a sign of things to come and it gets harder from here on.

    Not sure if it was this tip or just the timing but I registered successfully without any issues doing this. Gave me the code and the game now appears under my profile.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I see posts like this and I want it to be true for me. Maybe I am playing the wrong class? I dont mind the GCD. I played FF7 this month to get the nostalgia juice going and enjoyed the long cool-down between commands and pace of that game. To say its better than GW2 or RIFT - how? I just...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Leveled Gladiator to 15. Leveling Marauder. Getting really really bored with the game already. Not sure I can be bothered to log in after 1 day of it. Save yourself some time. Game is pretty - has a story - gameplay is smooth but completely repetitive. Maybe it gets better over time...

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    Real power curve and sense of accomplishment. Name any game today where you can clearly stand ahead and not attain 95% of every other toon with minimal effort. Incessant whining over time about fairness has resulted in a long string of changes by developers that have become standard in...

    EQ Never

    None of the features presented so far really matter to me. None of these mean staying power. The only factor for any MMO that hopes to achieve greatness - is the reintroduction of a power curve. Honestly if they didn't present a single graphic, gameplay footage, or gimmicky feature and...

    I predict the facial expressions will devolve into 100's of idots running around with the most retarded look they can find 100% of the time because they think its cool.

    Camping tents

    Ground tents are old tech. Get a hammock tent, sleep off the ground/dirt/bugs/rocks, get the most comfortable sleep out of a bed, save a ton of weight......works anywhere with trees. Honestly dont know why they even make traditional tents anymore. https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    Have you ever been in love? Like butterflies, I cant stop thinking about her, get stupid kind of love? Then something happens(likely result of you being stupid) and you break up - probably badly. You then go through the next several relationships without that original feeling. You are not...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    I backed. Will be interesting to see if this goes anywhere near as far as it has potential to.

    Defiance

    Watched it on Scyfi.com tonight - they have the entire pilot without commercials free to watch. I'm curious how the game and show start tying together more. I already blew through all the story missions so I'm hoping the episodes add content at a regular pace. Seems they are set up to...

    Defiance

    Picked it up based on this thread and Force's videos. Did you enjoy Borderlands? How about Rift? Odds are you'll like Defiance as its pretty much a mash-up. Borderlands has better vehicle control, gameplay, voice acting, and character development imo but its not an MMO. Defiance hasnt...

    SimCity

    Just came to say, this thread delivers. Despite some of the obvious bugs and rampant issues well deserved by EA....It is entertaining to watch people trying to "beat the simulation" by spamming bus stops and playing tron with roads and expecting to win. Not claiming to have it all figured...

    Path of Exile

    I enjoy watching Kripp theorycraft. He can be a little narrow in his thinking (always going for certain paths/talents) but he does get creative at times when he pulls out the spreadsheets. Anyone catch the new build he is going for? Looks like something a bit new (not wand).

    Path of Exile

    Also having some fun with this. Even with the instability I like it much more than a year ago when I played. Currently a lvl 36 witch near the end of act 3. I scored my first unique, an axe. I like the true uniqueness and power of these items, they inspire builds all by themselves.

    Well, now what?

    Knowledge is power. EQ provided this scenario. The lower margin of error, the death penalty, where to best farm XP, gear that mattered - all required knowledge in order to succeed at the game. Modern MMO's (with a few notable exceptions) work against this fundamental concept. They want...

    Mind linking this build? Been looking for something like this.

    EQ Never

    I somewhat disagree with this. It might not be "difficult" once you knew: A. What loot was worth going after B. What mob dropped what you needed C. Where the mob spawned D. How to get to the mob E. How to pull the mob correctly (sometimes very challenging solo or duo) F. Were capable of...

    EQ Never

    While a fan of PS2, there are elements to this comment that have me concerned. How does PS2 address problems mentioned above? My fear is that this is headed towards an even more anemic item game with focus on fleeting cosmetic/status rewards. I'm looking for a game that can give me what...

    Planetside 2

    Exactly my first experience. Think of it like eve-online except you start in null sec space and you dont lose your shit. Once you have an idea of what you are doing and how to join a squad, flank, etc....you'll be on the giving end of the pain.

    Planetside 2

    I had to look 3 times through the electronics area to find it hidden behind some other cards. They were not in the same area as the playstation/Xbox/Nintendo cards either. They were up high in the back corner of the department. I ended up showing a picture online to someone that worked there...

    Planetside 2

    Get a better sniper rifle if you plan to use the infiltrator at all. Other than that just stick with default guns. I also recommend upgrading your favorite vehicles weapon. The defaults are piss poor by comparison. Also dont forget to buy the 1 cert point stuff. Certainly worth it.

    On Jaeger (vanu) as well. Accept my friend request xzi. Started a list of things I like/dislike compared to PS1 + 'Q' to spot enemies and place them on the mini-map (awesome idea) + Ability to pilot everything as a new player + Cert point system is more interesting and varied + No more...

    Well, now what?

    In its prime - EQ had an addiction level that was unmatched. No other game has been able to reach this status in my mind, not even close. Even EQ lost its original desire. This is for one very simple reason - Power. The elite few lvl 65 enchanters per server with KEI. The first dedicated...

    Planetside 2

    I lost interest immediately when I first started the game up and couldn't be bothered to log back in for a few weeks. Came back to give it another try and was glad I did. The more I play the better it gets. Having fun now and reminds me of some good times with original planetside before...
