I'm cool with JJ..... i've enjoyed pretty well everything he has done. Has it been my favorite, no but he appears to create genius in every click whether it achieves it or not.... I think he'll take SW very seriously because it could put his name in the history books if it succeeds. Honestly...

I always thought that EQ2's graphics were the best out there after EQ ran its course but as Draegen said, it's such a subjective area of discussion. Though honestly it was the graphics that ultimately turned me away from Wow and forced me to choose EQ2. I liked the realism vs comic...

Well its easy really... if you watch the videos and look at the screens (understanding the fact it is still kind of early to call), it just doesn't seem to have the beauty or appear to have the feel of their other games. Please note though I said "seems" uninspired lending to my first...

When I think of the way I want dungeons to be, I think of Sol A/Sol B and UGuk/LGuk. Open progression, camps, and stuff just everywhere. I think it added to the game. Upon entering the zone, you had a purpose to attempt to get to camp x,y, or z to try to get item whatever. It may seem bland...

I think they should release it for about a year, close it down, and then reopen it 6 months later. The game just seems so uninspired to have the lineage that it does... I would say people are going to draw a lot of comparisons to SWTOR due to the console love being ported to MMO. Its going to...

Many may not agree or even thinks it matters but if Scottdidjoin the EQN team, it would give me a jolt of confidence. I think who or whatever he joins it will be good. I don't think he would leave otherwise. I would make him some type of community liaison in addition to whatever title he...

That's me.... I don't get into too much hype anymore but I don't completely discount anything either... We'll see. Heck, I have nothing to lose. I play LoL and 2K13. My horizon looks like more LoL, SimCity, and FFXIV. I don't think it will hurt to give a game a chance.

That's about the truth... Smokejumper is just about the most irrelevant person in SoE or even MMO's. I have pretty much seen absolutely nothing happen under SJ's watch at SoE. Well nothing or any worth. Is SoE actually trying to build a dream team? (just speculation of course)

All jokes aside.... this game really doesn't anyone a reason to play outside of a shot of being just interesting enough to enjoy opening day rush which to me is the best part of a new MMO. We'll see how it goes over the course of beta....

Does every MMOhaveto be a WoW clone? I think at this point you can say that MMO's have establish standards now and you cannot contribute all of them to WoW.

Whoa, this is big news really. I think Scott is the real up and coming guy that is hot on the MMO market. I don't think you can say he has any failures on his record and where ever he lands people may want to take notice. These guys are like coaches anymore... Brad is kind of like Jim...

It's extremely odd... maybe I don't get it or it is some asian humor that I have missed. I agree, unprofessional and just odd. I have no idea what they were doing with beta around the corner. How about some gameplay footage or a walk-through? This was just a dumb post.

Do we not have some people on the inside to give us some info? Surely we have some alpha connections or have they closed Alpha in preparation for beta? Beta invites should be going out in the next week or so so we can get the client downloaded. I spent some time this weekend reading up on the...

Consoles and EQN come up time to time but I really don't know how I feel about it... FF is the only MMO that really married the two but haven't played enough to form an opinion... Any positives or negatives to this...?

I think if two raid forces enter a zone before they can engage the raid mob a good old Mortal Kombat "Fight" should appear and the winning guild stands and get the target. Soon as the other guild is defeated or surrenders, they are removed from the zone with lock out timer and the winning guild...

I've always thought the way you implement PvP into a PvE centric game is to create an open world zone and give the side with control bonuses that would be necessary to assist in a raid or a certain dungeon (maybe the bonus changes) or even it opens up certain markets or access to x amount of...

Found their latest blog entry pretty interesting... It's nothing major but they are really stirring my interest. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/blog

When I think of old schoolgames, the memories just flood in from thesegames.... (so many other goodgameshave already been mentioned that I played)

Probably a poor choice of words on my part. They may be touted in terms of concept but I don't think any of them have been above reproach. While I agree with the other post regarding the expectation, that may be so, though, again I still believe that players would consider it a make or break...

It isn't about being warm and fuzzy, it's about LFG tools are hardly used even in games that it is even needed. So why waste development time "trying to get it right" when you could just focus on the core game and see if it is even needed. I still stand that a good game doesn't need a LFG...

If you have a healthy, active population in a world that has relevant dungeons and open world that aid in progressing your character and promotes interacting with not only the environment but the playerbase as well, the LFG tool will be irrelevant.

Death in EQ meant a lot at key levels. I remember not being "allowed" to go on Vox raids until 49 because I was a cleric. The moment I hit 49, I was dragged everywhere but, my first Vox raid the raid leader decided to try something new with the healers. Never the less, we were put into a...

Can this movie be bad?? Sure it can... I believe the point is that even at matin?e pricing, how could this be a bad idea for $4 or $5? Even if the entire movie is just move of what we have seen in the trailer then I will happily pay $5 to watch robots and monsters punch each other that sounds...

I think the idea to look at when speaking of EQ's subs is to remember that approximately half of a million people were exposed to the type of game it was during its peak. I think timing is in their favor. I believe that people do not necessarily want what EQ was but they would sure like to...

No offense or disrespect because I really don't know any truth or untruths here but I call bullcrap. There is no way they wouldn't let Brad have "some" input or let him review things as they have went along. Why else would they employ him? To play with VG? A friendly favor? Nah, he's there...

Anyone know if Smed is taking some notes here? Can we at least get Brad to read the last few pages? There's a lot of good stuff here I would at least like to hear their side of the why and why not's to these suggestions.

I had one as well. I actually found my Guide Program folders too. I think they are all gone since our move but yeah... I miss things like that as well. I'm sure people would probably explode without a map but, I would at least like to explore it so many times before it became "mapped" or...

I miss having specific purposes... regardless if you felt they were very advantageous or not. It still added a lot to the choice, development, and even passion to your character. Every raid or even group, once a particular class came on board, they had to know what their role was or learned...

I agree, it is just better to understand context for discussion. If we believe The Hobbit is a failure based on director decisions or trueness to the story then I or even people and this board can agree and disagree. But to say it is just a "fail" I don't think is fair. That was my point. I...

This... Pretty much the movie was a financial success and the most prominent complaint has been regarding the way it was filmed. Each time I watched it, people left the theatre with good things to say. i'm a pretty die hard fan and went in with minimal expectations and I was pleasantly...

I'm was looking around but has anyone really done this..? I mean literally pull the plug, clean house, and announce a grand reopening? I really think that took a pair and if they make anything from this, it should really be commended. I think it also goes back there is no such thing as bad...

Same here.. I really didn't line up Pacific Rim with anything else was simply because I didn't think it was similar to Voltron, Power Rangers, etc. Now, if 5 or so Marines got in some animals and formed them together at the end of the movie to make a larger robot then yeah, I would have made a...

I feel the same way but you know what.... I have found myself looking for more and more at what people are saying about this game than any others. Looks like I'm already getting caught into the potential hype. Maybe it is where I passed on the last few hypes and i'm getting suckered in by the...

Seems reasonable. If everything goes to the max time or close to... this puts release around June. I think they are advertising mid Q2? Like the fact two phases have the NDA lifted which should give everyone 4-6 weeks to talk it out. The more my friends and I looked at this the more we...

If the beta turns out halfway decent i'm sure you may get some bites and I wouldn't care to help but there is just so much uncertainty with this game.

This is freaking hilarious.... btw

I actually went to see this for a third time this weekend since my wife surprisingly wanted to catch it before it left the theatre. I am still a little miffed at the negative criticism. Maybe I went in with different expectations. I cannot count the times I have read The Hobbit, maybe more to...

I have always quietly hoped and cheered for Final Fantasy as a MMO probably due to my love for the franchise from growing up. FF4(US 2) and FF3 are still some of the best gaming experiences I can remember. I look through a different set of eyes maybe as some because I played EQI for so long...

This is it in a nutshell. Ultimately it will come down to some kind of market and consumer research reports and bunch of suits around a table. Just as previously stated, it's not profit anyone is looking for it is maximizing profits. Right now they like the bigger barrel. The preference is...

Lemmi, I'm with you. It's kind of a stretch but overall correct. I'll springboard off your AC example. I think what I enjoyed the most in those situations is people knowing you were there, talking as they traveled across the zone or maybe just helped you out for the next spawn. I can...
