    Everquest II

    Logged in last night in Aussie prime time (so middle of the night in NA) on Nagafen which is a pretty dead server in general and the place was packed with new level 85s to fight... Pity the place will be a ghost town again in under a week.

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    Best PvP - Terrifying lighties in lguk so much they never got to use the zone while I was online. Being an ENC (invis+invis vs undead) meant I could move through the dungeon solo, and then wipe groups with ease by mezzing or killing their healer at the wrong time.... 2nd Best PvP - Knowing a...

    I've still got it on my PC. I like the game, so blow me.

    Everquest II

    If you're talking about that screenshot earlier it was a combination of hotbars from I'd say 4 different characters. Looks like illusionist at top left, maybe monk bottom left, brigand top right, wizard bottom right. Still a lot of buttons per class but it's not as bad as people make out. Some...

    The Secret World

    Just play blade/chaos, get some self healing passives from fist/blood and away you go. spam forking paths->clearing the path for AE, spam run rampant->four horseman for single target. win.

    Everquest II

    They have re-itemized the whole game a couple of times. This is why you can now find potency/crit bonus/crit chance on even low level items which you couldn't originally. The itemization hasn't gotten any better since Velious, they are still using the same formula of having every tier of gear...

    Everquest II

    Yes it's sounding pretty good, and the new xpac is sounding good as well. However as you probably know they have re-done itemization a number of times in the past and generally all they achieved was dumbing the whole thing down (but making it easier for them to mass produce gear). As usual...

    Everquest II

    EQ2 started copying aspects of wow well before being pounded into the ground. As an example they saw the transport system in wow and then added the griffin towers to antonica/commonlands very late into the EQ2 beta cycle. But I liked early EQ2. I liked the forced grouping. I found group xp...

    Everquest II

    If you have 1-2 friends to play with you can have a hell of a good time levelling through the seriously immense amount of content in the game.

    The gear manager is indeed still fairly buggy (not worthless) and the addon does indeed still fix it!

    chrome or firefox?

    I prefer firefox but I use chrome due to all of the data synching in my google account, so my phone, tablet, work PC, home PC all have the same bookmarks, cached form data etc.

    hah they finally changed Fatal Flourish so it's not identical to Dark Potency any more. Not sure how great the new version is though.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    World map seems to suggest that the whole world is just the 3 towns with ~4 areas surrounding each. It's pretty small really and you could run on foot from one side of the world to the other in like 20mins. I'm finding the game to be fun though and should be worth a month or two of...

    Archeage

    That is very second life... Very sandbox. It's pretty great that this is possible. I guess there is heavy moderation over what you can upload into the game world for obvious reasons.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Are you daft? They are single player games, course there wasn't any PvP. TES is a series (and a setting) known for large scale conflicts between nations, factions and guilds. Having PvP the focus of the MMO is very within the spirit of the elder scrolls. Whether or not this is a good thing...

    The Secret World

    To be fair, tanks are in the best position to do a lot of the debuffing and interrupting anyway. I found that people who are obsessed with AR tend to get 1 shot by the first AE (because they don't dodge and have minimum HP) and blame the healer. I had a generally good experience with pugs...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    "game starts at 50" and "innovation in this genre is dead" are not good quotes from an mmo producer.

    The Secret World

    GW2 had a lot of good side content such as the stuff you list, jumping puzzles, vistas, etc. Anyway GW2 thread is over <--- To the previous poster, if TSW puzzles and TSW players anger you so much then you're probably better off in another game and another thread. I'd say I cleanly solved...

    The Secret World

    I know they were around but they have done something to them. Like there are quest markers on the map now that suggest they offer lair based quests or something. Previously there was nothing and no indication of where a lair was. I don't know what the quests offer but if lairs are actually...

    The Secret World

    Isn't all of the lair stuff that was added group stuff? I haven't looked at it since launch and it was very unfinished back then. Spent ages farming mobs for pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and never got enough pieces to complete one.

    The Secret World

    Ahh that's a shame. I remember we did try HF Nightmare and found the first boss to be excessively difficult and went back to farming Polaris, Darkness War and Hell Raised. The end boss of HF Elite though was really great fun. There were a lot of bugs in the instances but very few show...

    The Secret World

    What was wrong with Hell Fallen? The end guy was definitely bugged and didn't change phases properly but I don't remember any specific issues with any of the other ones. That bugged end guy was so much fun. The whole purple void phase thing where you run around avoiding the patterns on the...

    The Secret World

    Just picked this game up again. It still seems to have quite a good population, plenty of spam for groups and even still people playing in the newbie areas. Plenty of new skills and quest packs for me to do with my existing character. Some of the innovation that TSW made in this genre is really...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I thought SWTOR was going to be fun, and it was. Still is, I am this very minute queued for Warzones on my Scoundrel healer. I thought Warhammer was going to be fun and it was, until I hit endgame. It wasn't fun any more so I stopped playing, no problem! In fact I've had a good amount of...

    How to addict consumers to a real next-generation MMO

    The Secret World is in quite a few ways (but lacking in some areas) what you're looking for. I'm sad that a game that innovated as well as TSW did hasn't had the success it (IMO) deserves. It still suffers from the 'endgame' syndrome but not as badly as the mainstream MMOs. Most of the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    TES games have picked up and dropped guilds along the way. Like Morag Tong/Dark Brotherhood, and Fighters Guild/The Companions. So theycouldjust be replacing the Thieves Guild with something else, however if that was the case they almost certainly would have said so. So in summary, I agree with you.

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

    Two important differences between sealed and draft: Luck is an important attribute in games (which is why so many people prefer Euchre over 500 for example). Luck is a bigger factor in Sealed than in Draft. Sealed also feels a lot more casual (and therefore "fun" in many peoples eyes) than...

    This thread sucks. Ut is rabid and in dire need of an antibiotic treatment plan Blackwulf I have no idea why you're spending such effort trying to blow Ut. It's ok to fanboy games and you shouldn't let all of the miserable cunts on this forum get you down. That TESO 'beta' tester on betacake...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Graphically the lockpicking system looks similar to Oblivion but mechanically it looks like it's different. There wasn't any obvious reflex involved in it. Personally I liked the oblivion lockpicking system! The skyrim one was definitely quicker to master. But yeah the first thing I thought...

    SWTOR

    One thing they really messed up with this xpac is the WZ booster, especially for the 30-54 bracket. People coming back to the game on old level 50s are pretty screwed wearing their old 40-65 expertise per piece champion/battlemaster gear fighting level 30s getting 130 expertise per piece from...

    SWTOR

    Totally agree about playing dark side. My light side Juggernaut was pretty boring to level, my dark side Sage was hilariously awesome to level. And yeah light side Smuggler was cool because it's Han Solo and even being a good guy you leave a trail of broken hearts in your wake. I'm still...

    I dinged 55 before I finished Makeb. I haven't done any of the binocular or whatever side quests, only did the dailies on Makeb that I bumped in to while following the storyline, didn't use any XP boosters..... buuuuuuuut I did do a shitload of Warzones.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Fair enough, it would be certainly interesting to see that setting. There's plenty of areas of Tamriel that haven't been used (ignoring Arena) plus dozens of island/continents outside Tamriel which are fairly well documented.
