FYI the three minutes in between my post as Rescorla gave me enough time to log in to my Grave user account, screw with my IP settings to make them different, and make the post above.

My memory of EQ mechanics/gameplay is perfectly fine. People are ignoring the main point I was making in order to argue with my opinion that group play in EQ1 was challenging. If group play in EQ1 was simple for you then I am willing to stipulate you were a better EQ1 player than me. My...

I provided enough proof that I'm willing to bet a large majority of the posters here believe me over you. Once again, here are the lies you told: 1) You lied about being in the closed beta. You tried to wiggle out of this hole by claiming I work for Zenimax and if you provided proof you...

That all started because I made a favorable comparison of group mechanics in ESO to EQ1. The rabid ESO haters went full court press trying to discredit that opinion despite the fact none of them have likely even been in a ESO dungeon yet.

The admins here are more than welcome to track my IP. If Grave and I have different IP addresses, will you 1) apologize and admit you were wrong; 2) assert Grave/Rescorla manipulated our IP addresses to somehow hide the fact we are the same person; or 3) accuse the admins of lying about the IP...

You're probably right. You would think someone exposed like that would disappear and lay low for a short time versus doubling down and making himself look ever more foolish by flinging out even more ridiculous accusations.

Based on his reaction, do you think I missed?

To each his own. I liked LDoN because it was instanced and eliminated the group camping in one spot. As a bard puller, I was highly sought out for the hard mode LDoNs thanks to Fading Memories pulling. Its been over 10 years but I recall Gates of Discord and Omens of War also having group...

LOL so lets recap the past couple of days. As one of the few people here in the closed beta, I was able to figure out Utnayan was lying about him being in the closed beta because he made some assertions that anyone with closed beta access would know was incorrect. Instead of admitting he was...

OK you are right. No group in EQ1 ever wiped due to a pull gone wrong, there were no trains to zones, the game was super simple and required no skill.

FYI SWTOR's combat log only shows your own personal damage/healing. However, a third party parser was created that allows everyone who has that parser to send their combat log to a central host and display the raid's damage meters to everyone who was running the parser. I assume a similar...

Dude you've got some major psychological issues. Did those 16 hour gaming sessions in EQ1 cause you permanent mental damage? Anyone who played EQ1 should know that whether you were camping in one spot or moving thru a dungeon via a crawl at some point you were faced with large pulls where...

The one I have only shows your own damage/healing. No idea what data the addon API unlocks in that regard.

I assume you understand how free marker capitalism works? Game companies are going to do whatever they can to maximize profits as well as grow their customer base. All the whining and complaining about going to F2P at some point down the road of a MMOs life is outright silly. AFAIK pretty...

I agree with what you are saying about the trinity but for me as a bard most of the time when I did dungeons I replaced the enchanter. When we did have an enchanter things did go a lot more smoothly. This just goes to reinforce the point I am trying to make. How many MMOs since EQ1 have made...

That is the general point I was making. From the point onward where WoW dumbed down the game and made AOE tanking easy mode, IMO very few MMOs have required groups to play at a high level. The point I was trying to make is that I think ESO is closer to how dungeon crawling in EQ1/vanilla WoW...

I'll explain what I meant by that when the NDA is lifted. The dungeons in those videos are all for level 12-15 characters. No idea what level those players were but I do know they aren't near as challenging if you are in the high teens/lows 20s when you do them. BTW in my WoW reference I...

We have different memories of EQ1 then. In my experience (I wasn't a hardcore raider decked out in the best gear) if someone in your group screwed up, especially the puller or crowd controller, there was a good chance your group wiped.

So you quote pyksel when he agrees with you but you ignore him when he confirmed you were lying about being in the closed beta?

Dungeon crawling that requires everyone to perform at their highest brings back fond memories of playing my bard in EQ1. If that is how dungeon crawling, especially with the veteran dungeons, functions in this game then IMO the EQ1 vets will enjoy that aspect. The WoW generation used to easy...

Adventures zones are 24 player raid style content. There are heroic mode dungeons but those are for 4 player groups.

LOL the only point you are proving is that you are batshit crazy. So not only am I an employee for Zenimax, I am also Grave posting under a different account and I used to work at 38Studios too? Dude you need to take a Zanax.

If the NDA is lifted soon, would that be an indication Zenimax isn't as scared as you perceive them to be?

/incoming Utnayan asserting Grave is an employee of Zenimax in 3,2,1....

He does provide some entertainment watching him trying to wiggle out of the predicaments his fabrications put him in. Like I said earlier, I'm just a regular joe who got an invite into the closed beta. It doesn't matter to me whether anyone here plays the game or not. However when someone...

If you are wrong will you self-ban yourself from this forum or at least promise to stop making ridiculous assertions pretending you know what is actually going on?

I agree. I had some guildmates who were in the closed beta of Rift and were able to get their characters to max level before the game went live.

LOL I do get a laugh at how bizarre your leaps of logic take you. Did it ever cross your mind that the reason the entry level to get into Cyrodil was lowered to 5 is so players like yourself in the weekend beta test who only get to play for a couple of days can experience that aspect of the...

Now you're trying to change the argument. You asked if any MMO got better in higher levels and the answer is obviously Yes. Whether end game raiding is polished to the level of quality that you personally approve of is a different issue.

Which is exactly why there have been so many WoW clones and zero EQ1 clones. The raids that Furor helped create in WoW as well as the design of the rest of the game is one reason it was so popular. The fact that no company, not even SOE, developed a EQ1 clone should tell you something. BTW...

OK if you're not worried about getting banned from the closed beta go ahead and send me a tell/mail in game.

Maybe he really is having fun in the closed beta but has to maintain his reputation as a frothing at the mouth hater of MMOs not designed like EQ1. BTW I thought of another test for Utnayan to prove to us he is in the closed beta. I've made several posts in the closed beta forums on multiple...

I'm gonna ask for a raise myself . I just got told I am now in charge of designing the level 18+ content that Utnayan claims isn't finished. Anyone have any special requests? Make it simple because I only have 6 weeks to create it.

So instead of believing what you read about me catching Utnayan telling several lies (and other posters confirming it), do you believe him and think I work for Zenimax?

He has lied countless times about being in the closed beta. Its fairly obvious to the couple of us who are he is making stuff up. He confirmed my suspicion was correct with his blatantly incorrect statements about addons. You can add his recent comments about 17+ level content to the list as...

For someone who likes to proclaim you tell "The Truth", you sure do make up a lot of stuff you know is a lie. When called out on it, you make yourself look even more foolish by pretending the person who called you out is an employee of whatever game/company you happen to hate with a passion...

I believe it is safe to assume there will be mechanisms/penalties/incentives in place to discourage that type of behavior.

When you mention "shard-changing" are you referring to the multiple AvA campaigns?

Utnayan is too scared to post on the closed beta forums in fear Zenimax will catch him and ban him from a beta test of a game he despises.

LOL you're beginning to reek of desperation. Pyksel has already confirmed the same exact thing I have been saying. You really should stop digging the hole any deeper. I suggest you show some honesty and admit you are not in the closed beta and that all your rants have been based on what you...
