What were the main issues with corporate clients?

Just tossing my 2cp in the ring for those wondering if it's worth watching. Yes. Definitely. Agree with others that it has a Deadwood in London feel to it. Dark, gritty, realistic, machiavellian, layered. Fantastic acting- Tom Hardy is fucking amazing. Love the political gameplay and the...

Yeah. My buddy tried to get me into it a while back. I liked the ep we watched, but put it on the backburner behind Archer and Bojack. Finally got to it and I see what he was talking about. Super smart/cerebral and subtle-- and fucking hilarious. Just what I like. Halfway through second...

Nope. At least in the first few GW versions they left class mechanics alone. The main changes were allowing player guilds to take and own cities and camps and how pvp points worked. PVP points scaled based on 1. your level, 2. level of your opponent, 3. how recently you killed the target, 4...

For impossible to put down comedy binge shows I'll add: Peep Show Archer

Just to be nerdy, pretty sure those were PDC rounds going through the ship. One railgun shot, much less multiples, would probably be enough to take out a corvette like the Roci. Oh, and yeah, great first ep for the season.

Well that sounds awesome

This is one of those small scenes that displayed Lynch's fantastic instincts. It's clearly a flub by a very nervous one-shot extra, but instead of reshooting (like any other director would), Lynch goes with it and we get another of those bizarre scenes that made the show what it was. Love...

Your memory is better than mine. But ultimately I agree-- that server was a blast.

If you have the pass you should devote some time to RMNP definitely. I would personally put Arches/Needles and RMNP both over YS. Fort Collins is great. I like Boulder better for nightlife but I'd live in FC in a minute if it was close to work for me. You could spend a lot of time in the...

Emerald Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park: Lake Solitude in the Tetons:

Your loop is my neck of the woods. Denver is a cool city, worth a stop in. Go buy some gummies and eat at Blue Pan Pizza (best pizza I have ever had). Boulder is a really fun town too. If I could only do Den or Boulder I'd be hard pressed to pick. Go to Boulder and do the climb to Royal...

Ruin dominated the pve game on SZ, no doubt. But, to be fair, I recall Tides of Wrath getting the better of you guys in pvp on a couple of occasions. I remember one specific occasion involving mass corpse camping in.. ToV? Dunno. It's been too many years. Either way, I hated ToW and there...

Yeah, I was reading the thread thinking someone has to also have been disappointed with the book. Glad to see I'm not alone. I absolutely loved the concept of the book, but the execution was lacking. I didn't dig the writing style, which is purely opinion, but I also thought Gaimon failed to...

I can totally ditto your post if you take out "very" completely and change "amazing" to "really interesting." The directing was great, the acting was good (especially the protagonist's daughter- wow, she can act for an 8 year old), and the story was interesting. The plot had Texas-sized holes...

Seem to recall it was with Luclin (and AAs) that rangers actually became a legit class.

I borrowed a guidly's 55 rogue once because I had never played one and wanted to see what it was like. Gave it back almost immediately.

I know you're mainly here to troll, and I won't stop you. Do your thing bro. But you bring up a good point. No doubt it will be data mined and mapped out- just like EQ was. You can't stop dissemination of game knowledge any more now then you could in 1999, or 2000, or 2001. The Internet...

I think he must have quoted the wrong post lol. Either that, or he has drawn something from your post that I don't see (and that you probably didn't intend)...

Absolutely agree that the players shouldn't know everything. Keep plenty of info under the hood. Let the guessing turn into rumors and the rumors turn into legends. It was the unknown and guessed at that made Norrath seem so big and daunting. The days of knowing the exact impact and numeric...

Their main design philosophy is to create an EQ redux. It's that easy, for the most part. I think that also means creating a very "community-oriented" game, because EQ was a very community-oriented game. Basically, anytime you are wondering about a VR design philosophy, ask yourself "was this...

What's the answer? Don't open your mouth until you have something to show worth showing. That's almost always the answer. If a company starts the hype train rolling, the audience is naturally going to expect to see results. You don't blame the audience for that, you blame the company that...

Ogre doesn't look terrible. He does look like he has Down Syndrome, but shit, it's an ogre, he isn't supposed to look like a genius. Wolf looks better in second pic, but still has a bizarrely red mouth. No idea what's going on with that. Granted, I have a very low threshold for art...

Your calculation is a bit off there Perelman ;)

Ah, well i guess it can't be about that. I dunno, maybe you guys are right. I just think it's a strange leap to start turning Joel into a ghost (especially when he seems pretty well alive in the trailer) just because Ellie is angry and wants revenge. Obviously a long time has passed since...

I didn't play that DLC Left Behind thing, but wasn't there some kind of lesbian lover she had?

Granted, it's been a while since I played TLOU, but why are we jumping to the conclusion that the Joel in that trailer is an imaginary Joel instead of a real Joel? I must have missed something.

What this thread should be: A reasonably open-minded discussion about Pantheon with a healthy dose of skepticism due to the lead developer's history. What this thread is: Considering how much mmo experience and the historical understanding of the genre that the population of this board has...

SOE was handling some marketing stuff for months prior to release and then after release, correct. They also handled publishing and payment upon release. Then, a little after release, they began to field some of the customer support stuff (but not all of it). Eventually, they purchased the...

Vanguard was released prior to SOE's acquisition. Since you're not a fan of revisionist history, you probably want to get it right.

Pick up snowboarding or skiing immediately. You'd be a fool to waste an opportunity to do either at Vail.

Thanks, that's the info I was looking for. So if I buy the basic edition for $30 I won't be missing any maps or weapons? I don't care too much about fluff, but I don't want to be missing maps or weapons

Looks like it will be good, but pretty obviously depressing. Also looks like a prequel to Clavell's Shogun.

Yeah, definitely more than one class. Several mob models... maybe you should just watch the vid yourself. It will answer your questions. If you want a summary of what I took from it, and I can say succinctly, there isn't much worth talking about yet. If you aren't an EQ fan looking for a...

Late to the party, want to pick this up for PS4. Advice on what "edition" is the best buy and where to find it the cheapest very appreciated.

To be fair, they were very clear that the demos they have shown thus far were to display core mechanics and really general gameplay stuff. They have been very open about how much "extrapolation" they have left to do in order to flesh out the details and provide adequate content for release.

That's a terrible definition. By that definition, virtually every game made in recent history was vaporware at some point. If that's the case, calling a game vaporware means nothing.

I love pvp in mmos if done right- but pvp and microtransactions are a losing combination. Well, for me, any mmo and microtransactions is a losing combination, but especially a pvp mmo.

Dublin is fun. You won't run out of things to do. Take the Holyhead ferry over. Be advised, the Irish are very into American politics and have some unusual ideas about US govt. If you are from stateside, expect to spend some time answering for the US's current political climate. They will...
