I got over any real disappointment when I realized he wasn't even sure what the hell he was making, so it's not like it had a chance being something great for people stuck in the past like me anyways. He knew a couple of fun words to say to appeal to a crowd that might toss money his way, but it...

I was referencingthis shot, which is pre-voxel EQN era. It's just a random fan's attempt so I thought it was pretty good considering.

Conflict seems like too strong of a word. At this point it's just a tiny, insane community eating itself alive while the rest of the world doesn't even know it exists. Last I checked (because I can't help myself) Nirrtix posted about loading screens which is lol. Brad knows what this is, he...

He trollin tho.

Someone created the gates of Freeport in the original EQN screenshots.

Pretty sure I found him

No, you're thinking of Ice-T.

Nice, thanks for the info. I'll probably start something up tonight.

If I'm impossibly out of touch with this game and would sign up starting from scratch, are there any pointers or should I just stay away? I've flirted with the idea of going back to WoW (I've basically never leveled beyond 40) for a while and I bought all the expansions last Black Friday for...

I'd never experienced an MMO before EQ. I'm assuming all those games had some form of credit card subscription which may parents would have never went for (I'm still shocked I convinced them for EQ). I was game changer for me and it's why I've been obsessed with trying to like every new shitty...

With all these failed musicians in a room and considering the thread we're in, I'm pretty sure the only logical thing to do is start a poorly run Kickstarter to fund an album. Rerolled and the Shitbags can be our name.

Pimple is the best Battletoad.

I was in a band and songs are online. Audio only so it can only seduce your ear holes.

We can compare canes.

I feel old for having just turned 30 but you guys are making me feel way better.

Since he's talking about things that are supposed to be private, Beck sent me a PM the first time he got banned whining about how his quote with Salim backpedaling wasn't him trying to raise hell. Basically, he's ignoring any faults of the team while being oddly obsessed with Brad and his...

These guys ran a successful Kickstarter ($46,000) and it sounds like the project is in the process of completely shitting the bed. Their site has been offline for months, thelast updatewas in April and apparently some dudes left the team. They also swapped to Unity I guess at a certain point...

I remember trying my hardest not to make a clayman with Play-Doh hair. Impossible!

I never played UO but it was worth visiting this thread for that music. It actually got me to check out theactual trackwhich is fucking fantastic. I love hearing old gaming tunes in their original form.

And WoW certainly aged better than any of the shit striving for realism in that era.

Yeah but no. Stylized can befuckinggorgeouswhendoneright.Most of the time it's the games that go for realism that end up looking like shit. Wildstar's take on it isn't great though.

I just drew a skateboarding ostrich smoking a cigarette, hoping that's enough to land me a sweet art position at Bradco.

No way they all grew up, remember? There was no replacement generation of people with too much time, there was only uss.

I'm OK with moderate use if the attack is so clunky the animation gives no actual indicator of what it's doing, but for fuck's sake I wish MMO devs would design better encounters that didn't need a light show per attack. It's so ridiculous looking and it seems like modern MMOs abuse it. Just...

I think? I don't want to lie. At most one expac but I think just launch WoW. I have it installed, I should play more.

Oh fuck off with that, you know exactly what he's referring to and only the dippest of shits would argue words can't take on new meanings.

The p99 of WoW.

He specifically called out red spots on the ground and I'm pretty sure you can work out how the word is being accepted and used regarding MMOs.

There are literally thousands of games with bosses in them that don't have glowy ground spots. I know MMOs are a bit unique and telegraphs can help, but Wildstar cranks that shit to 11.

Then they'll only have a small fraction of players, which this game wasn't budgeted for. The rest of the game seems dull so unless you're ridiculously into housing (of which there are many alternatives), you're not going to stay.

I always thought Raes' icon was colonel sanders.

To be fair, one raid boss battle looked like Super Hexagon and that game is fucking dope.

Fantasy mullet rocking art work, but what Pantheon didn't need was more Brad in Brad's game about Brad. He's been hyping this new Aradune art up which would have been OK if there was loads of other art, assets or anything suggesting a game was actually being made. I love that Nirrtix is...

TTYD 4EVER

I don't know, I was pretty terrified wrangling those talking plants.

I specifically referenced Zelda (Skyward Sword) in my post. It's not that general gaming is innocent, but there's a general swing in opinion that it isn't always necessary and hell, even the latest Zelda (LBW) got applause from backing the fuck off it. The MMO genre is riddled with developers...

They don't and won't but my point is that it's fucking stupid and they wasted man hours into a throwaway content that had to have been implemented to check a box that developers think all MMOs have to have. In MMO land there's no graceful way to create a tutorial, it's simply a routine act of...

I saw some high end raid armor and it looked really bad. Their art style is all over the place. I suppose I should be worried about getting past level 10 before I worry about raid gear though. I wish a Wildstar dev would brave these stomping grounds and try to justify the tutorial. At the...

ahahah good or bad? Because that looks like the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

Maybe he needed a job and Smedley brought him on to see if he could scrap it out and make himself an asset? He started on Vanguard before moving to EQ before eventually being let go. I'm not in any way clued in on why he was let go, but after this whole Pantheon bullshit it's not too hard to...
