Because they are pissing away good money on accessability meetings instead of using it to produce content, says so right in the OP. They can get away with while throwing players a small quality of life bone now and then, so why put effort into regular release schedules and the like. That sounds...

This is worth repeating. Get rid of the dps role by giving it to everyone, and give all classes other toolsets. Original trinity didnt mention dps by the way, that's a WoW thing.

Pretty much this, by now I just hope PS2 ends up in good hands when they start selling things. I dont play it regularly anymore but it's fun to pick up for an evening now and then.

Sounds like denial of service, where is Butler the one fucking time you need him?

I cant speak for everyone (as you do) but I dont like GRifts. They're even more streamlined and monotonous then normal rifts. Just scale torment to 50 for the peeps that enjoy it, increased legendary drop rate is part of that so it's partially adressed already. Have GRifts drop greater keys at...

You mean they are taking a sensible approach to development? I'm sure we can find a way to spin that into a negative somehow!

Two quick questions: Have they reigned in ability bloat somewhat since last summer (not as bad as EQ2 but it was annoying me)? Are there any returning player perks that a current player would also benefit from, or is just taking this 7 days offer the best course of action?

I think his distinction was between 'everyone on this faction/guild wins, regardless of personal merit' vs 'individuals that did well win'.

If they have no choice, people might try to rally against a guild that dominates a server in something like SB (without success usually I guess?). But here, they do have a choice. Tuco is spot on, many campaigns will probably be over by the summer stage because most people prefer to be on the...

Personally, I would say skip translations and just run it in english. However I believe that means turning away a decent chunk of Germans, French and Russians that just dont want to deal with language issues. From my experience with WAR and various attempts of SOE to force EU companies on...

Lots of hand-made content with nameds that drop special loot and the like doesnt fit their model. However, I do hope that their random world generator includes indoor areas such as caves, crypts, old ruins etc. That's both a way to hide/sneak forces through unsafe areas and a likely tier0...

Nameplates, I like the way PS2 handles it. You want them to know your name, that's fine. Death messages or target call outs get that done. What I dont want it a big red sign over my head everywhere and all the time, and looking from the other side if all you see is a sea of nameplates rushing at...

I guess I dont see a real point to it being a "start naked" setting if you not only bring some of the rewards you reaped in the months before, but they cant even be destroyed or taken away. But my understanding was that the rewards/relics dont actually give passive effects in any campaign. The...

Perks for relics take the form of being able to craft better stuff for campaigns you import items to, right? I'm absolutely expecting terminator-style campaigns to 100% equal footing as far as gear goes, and no essentially passive advantages like a permanent +harvest buff from a relic either.

So far I was under the impression that the Hunger cannot be beaten - that even in a campaign where everyone joins up in an attempt to survive the world gets too harsh to sustain your cities and replace gear. In essence making attrition to the Hunger the closing mechanism for every campaign where...

I dont mean you look for days until the first hostile encounter. You just make it sound like anything that comes before the castle siege is best shortened to a day or less, and I think that would be less interesting in the long run. The 'whole learn the map, find spots to build keeps and get...

In a few months, you mean when they added like 5 more items? That'll make things so much worse? You overestimate the speed at which they add stuff to this game. Once the pool is getting too large, they could split the gambling categories or soften the restrictions on enchanting to make badly...

Quoting this not to adress Draegan but the various posts about short campaigns. This quote is what the game is about (I hope). If you do that from start to finish every other week, it doesnt carry any weight. Closest comparison would be GW2 if it had a new map every two weeks. I'm not sure the...

At official release I would expect a dozen fleshed out systems (i.e. zones). If it's any less each system would have to feature alot of explorables to stay interesting. They can add more post-release in content patches, DLC or expansions, since adding space systems is alot easier then adding new...

6 months is OK... Anything measured in months is. I have no interest if most campaigns are a week, or even days.

Tbh if this turns into 'joining matches' I'm out anyway, no tears shed.

If this project has any value, they have detailed plans up to 5mill and a pretty clear idea post that. Otherwise this would just be a Pantheon with better PR.

It's not hard to draw a comparison to PoE when it comes to unique campaign settings. They try a few for I think 3-month runs, and integrate some features that worked well into the base game. In addition, you have some other, shorter tests as part of the race events, recurring the good ones. I...

Stay tuned for the $100mill milestone sometime later this year. They'll either do that or Roberts buys another private island.

Can we stop calling the shutdown of a game sunsetting? That's corporate talk to make it sound less bitter to the few players left, you can take off the kid's gloves here. /rustled

That's a very difficult question. You would have to define "competitive" first because EVE is very sandbox. Regardless of activity you would need to know and understand alot of mechanics that are vastly different from your usual MMO, there's a nice learning curve image floating around but not...

I like this, I've always been a fan of the EVE skill system (learning skills aside, those were dumb). I do hope that maxing out a specific line is as time intensive as it is in EVE, to make versatility vs specialization a real choice you might make. Ideally it would be open-ended with ever...

Isnt the plot twist that this matters fuck all because this ship is sinking as we speak?

Good enough for me, I enjoy immersive games moreso then the more gamey ones. Still I question commiting many resources to a system that ends up being a free character re-modeling. I'll just go on creating Knuckles II, III, IV etc after a final death.

Eidal brings up a great question, and the devs need to have a very good plan in place for those players. Hell I'm such a player myself very often. Spent alot of time missioning and later scanning in low sec molten heath but when I wanted to cruise along semi-afk I just had to take missions 2...

I meant, if you keep your stuff (via inheritance to your new character), why spend the money and time on that creating that death system. Keeping a quick-match arcade shooter simulation is fine with me, people love their arena/BG content.

Damnit Flex that was hinting at Crowfall turning into EQN, dont be so damn positive!

Stretch goals are Storybricks, the reveal for the collectible skill system and free multiclassing.

God I hope they do include plenty of CC. However, I also want counters to that in the game, preferably including some that work passively or increases resists/fail chance of CC. Having a 2 minute cooldown that breaks it blows, because either you own when it's up or get owned when it's down...

Same here, if any of you have second thoughts let me know when you drop a $150 so I can snatch it. Gonna hang at the beggar's tier for now hoping something opens up and will probably have to pony up for $175 at the end. Do we have a pool on most overhyped feature yet? I'm guessing the "many...

If you'd actually read my posts you would know that I'm pushing for a three-headed firebreathing wolfhound and not some dainty dragon, get with the program.

If you keep everything, is there even a point to this convoluted system? I guess it plays into their goal of making this game an immersive simulation and less gamey. But that's a reason most dont care for.

I really wish people would stop telling me what to do with my money. Also, Dumar on hopium is scary. He might actually burn down their offices when the supply runs out.

Judging from various info snippets the big expense will be fitting the hull with top end gear. So even if you can bling-bliing out any of those wallet-killers to the point it turns into a huge "kill me for rage tears" sign (like you can in EVE), the ship itself will be fairly obtainable I think...
