Does anyone have experience with the Warhammer Quest game? Good, bad, ugly?

You play at the top ranks dont you? Otherwise I'd say it might be bots and or casuals? I'm strictly casualing it up in this and leave a game for as little as pizza being ready, phone calls or a tv show starting. Probably makes for some wtf reactions on the other side, last weekend I started a...

That approach worked for Hearthstone, and by the time shallowness is a factor for the individual player the money has been reaped. Just give keys to twitch jockeys so the hype train stays in effect long enough, then rekindle it a year later with an xpac/new card set or in this case batch of...

I would if there was a fitting class, but I cant see a dorf crusader of the holy light. Guess that puts me in the "where's mah warrior" camp

I thought that was a pick-up line...

I'm not denying they have put in good work since the kickstarter opened, but you have to agree that the months before that should/would have yielded more substantial results if they wanted this as badly as they say. I guess I should say I'm seeing alot of "sudden passion" when it quickly became...

I'm pretty happy about the Enchanter announcement (rolling Beguiler, I liked the description more). Especially the part about damaging your group $$ payback for all the mez breaking idiots. Too bad there's no warrior or berserker type for my poor dorf.

They are treating this faster, with more honesty and constant communication then any live MMO I remember from the last decade, and those were usually paid too (+ sub!). Even judging them as a released game instead of an alpha puts their current effort at the top of the ladder.

Matter of opinion I guess, not everyone interested in this game expects the same features. I loathe the directed teaching experience you have in pretty much all games these days. These things arent rocket surgery. As for newbie areas, I've said several times I want them to build a world. The...

I'd try to barter +nets for a name or reposting but, well you know.

Absolutely against anything like this - anything you'd learn there you can learn "in the real world". Let players make their character, give them a rusty dagger and a good collection of loading screen hints and tooltips and let them figure it out for themselves. I think five levels of teaching...

My experience with SOE customer service and billing has been pretty good in the last year or so. Had two billing errors throughout the year with PS2 as well not getting proper credit for the anniversary stuff, all resolved within a day and to my financial advantage. Smed has been touting that...

Answering the second question first: I'm not sure, but as of the boogie interview Brad sounded like he wants regional market where investing substantial travel time to ferry goods can give you a profit - that alone says big world. Maybe someone can find out more. For the first question: You...

The difference between listing your name/class/lvl as lfg in a seperate window or looking at the list of LFG people in a seperate chat window is really small, I'm sure he'd survive that. From there on it's up the players to start talking to each other in both versions. Edit: just to add, yea...

I've only played for like 20 minutes and the game wasnt cooperating with my graphics card. Well, alpha. But just running (at like 5fps lol) through a great looking world with the above quote on the horizon, I gotta say right now I feel All In with what EQN will eventually bring to the table.

Well my position is based on the assumption that they plan to build a very large world. Just a couple of days ago Brad was talking about profiteering from travelling between different market areas, that requires long distances which you cannot easily cross at a whim. IF they change their plan on...

You placed that 'respectable' well, cant argue against something that's a matter of opinion. But I'll claim that respectable guilds are a small minority and the majority of guilds indeed thrive on lopsided fights and waving their fake superiority into other's face. It gets even worse when you...

It's up to the dev team to draw the line. That's like half their job. If you look back over my posts, I'm sure you will find some where I'm concerned that they dont have enough CC classes. With the recently-added double spec per class there might be another one coming I guess. But as a wizard...

Same thing I still got groups for with a KEI bot parked at every corner, CC and good pulling. But if I wasnt clear, the classes with buffs could have stronger versions, just not the disparity from zero to Clarity that EQ had. Like someone said if your class is only good for one thing only, and...

That's kinda reaching, server population and number of servers are an important topic but they can hopefully hit the right size. Doesnt really matter if they have 5 full servers to EQs 50 then. The better question is what ways can be used to keep all level ranges healthy - I think only having...

I remember a KPC camp doing hell level where our warrior didnt want to throw away the copper and silver or heavy trash loot and literally crawled away for pulls ... didnt make it back to camp with the 2 LDC due to encumbrance a few pulls later. Lesson: Only looting what you can carry applies to...

I'm hoping for that as well - if I want conveniences there's a ton of other games. If I'm in Everfrost, doing Charasis within the next hour should be flat-out impossible without the help of other players, and maybe even then.

I remember complaining in GW2 that they didnt have a good lfg tool, but I never wanted an auto-grouping dungeon finder. I specifically asked for the kind of LFG tool EQ had in the LDoN era. Which I also want for Pantheon - just list your class and what you want to do, and people can chat you up...

A design team could approach his suggestion with the proper respect for the world they create and make it work - question is do they want to? For example, EQ had travel limited to wizards and druids and some oddities (fire pots, alchemy, OT hammer). Cool, take that out, instead limit travel...

I know alot of folks see buff selling as the pillar of community, but I gotta say I'm not a fan of that. I'd prefer if all buffs were actually auras, and required some sort of upkeep to have running (like bards only being able to do a few simultaneously, but less annoying to keep up). I like the...

Old suggestions but they are worth repeating: The longer a mob is alive, the more xp it gives (maybe even loot but xp should be valuable and thus enough. Game needs deep AA points) Placeholders for named continue to check for named spawn at each spawn intervall, so a dungeon that has been...

I'm really hoping they clarify what their niche is very precisely internally - like many said a casual reference to VG or EQ doesnt tell it all, and the last question about dungeon ports should make that clear. I want this team to write that vision, and once they are sure they mean what they...

Again, build a world. A world doesnt have a tutorial extensive enough to need group mechanics. And the first thing people are taught has to be "find your own way" and not " at first you can port but we'll take that away later". If you want a mechanics tutorial make it short, have players start...

Like others said, the world takes precedence over the convenience. Always. That should be a major rule for the entire project. Whenever you add something, ask yourself if its fits the world you are building (which is a weak spot of Pantheon imo because of the "out there" lore). If it doesnt fit...

One think I hope is that the EQN world is fucking huge and has less servers. With them having help building stuff and directed random generation of areas that then just need artist passes for some details, could we approach something like only having a dozen servers for millions of players? I...

Of course there is overlap, try getting any Game of Thrones name through though, same deal. Plenty of MMOs even feature team sport "pvp" as one of their selling points. So there is your overlap. The essence of MMO pvp imo is risk of loss and consequence. That's absent from LoL and that's...

Absolutely in favor for any game, have mentioned it in various armchair dev threads. In current gen MMOs all classes can dps anyway, classes that are one-dimensional and limited to dps only dont need to exist.

I agree with those points and that they are the state of the industry - all of them point in one direction though: accessability. Tread lightly, dont challenge the slow-witted or they withdraw their money. If EQN came out in 2014 it would be the same. Like I said I have the faint hope that by...

Regarding everyone being a hybrid of a dozen classes simultaneously, keep in mind you only have 8 skills. I think in most games when you faced the difficult challenges it was better to bring the specialized class for each job over the hybrid that half-asses two jobs at once. So (again assuming)...

Orr was good, I give you that. It clearly said "what are you doing here alone retard, come with a group". Unfortunately it was nerfed to death and is now a park area for picking berries. Because Anet was still on the make it easier and they give you their money stance that has dominated the...

That's kinda right, although I feel alot of people underestimate the difference a great group makes in GW2. Funny thing is that with their skill system they could easily retool the game towards role combat without abandoning the action combat focus. Just need some additional spells dedicated to...

Gate camps! just find a nice bottle-neck like Gibraltar and blockade the fuck out of it.

If you make a game of wolves, the majority of the weaker wolves will end up being the sheep. In an MMO setting mind you, and by that I mean non-consensual pvp. In any situation where your pvp is more a sport and less a war or mugging the situation can have different results. In DotA everyone can...

On the plus side if this gets funded and releases there'll be additional interest. Pretty much everyone I tried to sway personally didnt go into the KS but said they'll buy it if comes out. I bet everyone has some friends that just refuse Kickstarter on principles but would be interested in the...

I dont really want "flex" in the WoW sense here. Not for groups nor for raids. I want them to just make content and let players sort out how many people they want to bring. Make the group size 8 if you want but dont fine-tune everything WoW style so you better bring 8 people with the...
