Not even. there are a TON of games that do not use the trinity. anything older then EQ pretty much.. Trinity as we know it now, is just pure laziness. Poor AI, and poor design, that reduced DnD from its far more robust class interaction, to tank, dps, healbot. NPC AI at the time couldn't...

Seriously? 2013 and we are still asking that question? tanking via controls. slows, hard cc, collision, etc. No taunts.. but there is still aggro. Aggro as a value of "threat of target" is fine. dealing damage, healing, using CC. its a value assigned to assign threat as you would vs a...

but now with facial recognition, you'll be able to see players making jerk off faces while raiding. Revolutionary mmo design. INNOVATION.

I said trinity sucks. I didn't say classes can not be unique in design.

trinity sucks, hybridization is fantastic. Games just have failed to implement it well. the sad part is, they used to. just everyone seems to have forgotten how. They have gotten so lazy with false aggro. Encounters themselves need to be rethought from the ground up. Too many people have...

yep. This board and casuals alike proved very very few people want a true unguided experience. Gw2 was pretty amazing for explorers. The other 95% complained that they were underleveled.

"good" smart and hard AI is the holy grail. Yeah, that shit isn't happening. Especially with destructible environments. That shit is nearly impossible when you don't have pathing issues, nevermind when you have anything goes world movement.

you guys want pvp in a game with destructible environments? FFS, you think knockbacks are annoying? what do you think anything that changes the environment will do? even in small scale, it would be so disruptive to gameplay. large scale, what happens when 20 people cast spell "x" that digs...

melee in a game with destructible environments, and buildable. hahahaha. Don't mind me blowing up that bridge, building a giant wall of ice, blowing up a hole under you and the enemy that you are trying to melee from 50ft back on my wizard.. notice, he didnt have an answer for that in the...

I can think of what, 2 out of 80 that didn't make money? APB and Tabula rasa? Sure disappointments like SW:TOR,and DCUO. But even they and many others like them made profits. And going to ftp only increased those profits. The secret world may have been on the actual losing money path, till...

its not even just SoE. its every company. every single mmo to date is "if done right". DCUO could have been amazing, if it was done right. Neverwinter and its foundry could have been amazing, if it was done right. GW2 was soo close, if only it was done right. Rifts were soo close, if only...

hahahahahhahahhahahahah

Small things like bridges, trees, etc. we have seen that before. what about his example of grabbing a pikeaxe and digging down? will that hole close up behind you? How exactly do you have a persistent, procedurally generated world? I was under the impression those two words were mutually...

yeah. lets see. What mmo has digging, etc? we've yet to see this is even "really" a "mmo" yet. Minecraft, terraria servers, etc. we've talked about the hybridization of mmos in other threads, games like Marvel super heroes, etc, which are barely mmos, or Neverwinter. those graphics...

fuck am I agreeing with him again? I'm not going to say, the issues are not solvable. But I will believe it when I see it. Its a hell of alot easier to go wrong, then it is to get right here.

that and the ecosystem idea has the same problem.. hunt the shit to extinction. paths people don't use get overrun. Populations move from old game to new. newbie areas get overrun.. So rife for exploitation.

Pretty sure hes going to end with saying the two are linked. Which will explain eq next's instancing. hoping from world to world.

double.

"2-3months to completely a public quest." So, what do we think? 16 hours? or 2 days?

Its letterers getting their revenge for being underpaid, and given zero respect.

alternate Dewitt/anna. Maybe this will be the Dewitt that fights as a Vox Revolutionist, that dies.

And frankly, this isn't 1975. Alot of that shit is very safe. Much of it being illegal or banned from sports is horseshit. Look at Barry, Clemens, Lance. Steroids aid in healing from injury, lengthen careers, etc. Why is this a bad thing? why do we WANT our athletes to be injured?

well thats the idea. An omega is that person potential fully realized. note, that any given person may not have that capacity. Like Jubilee can't get stronger. but her children might, or a clone, etc. (ps, she is also a vampire now) An omega cyclops for example, would probably also be...

Its pretty common yes. in both DC and marvel. And really funny, when its retconned in. WW originally was formed from clay. Hippolyta the demigod amazon queen wanted a baby, and sculpted one of out of clay, while daydreaming. The gods gifted her by giving life to the baby, and blessing her...

not anymore. I was looking for some pictures I could link, and did find a blog, with a couple. http://www.ign.com/blogs/siphen.0/20...ion-of-iceman/ 616 has surpassed AoA Iceman.

omega is only 50% power level shenanigans, and 50% "maximized potential of x-gene" That is a bit of a vague statement. The "max potential" means basically, no Iceman can be stronger then him, his kids won't be stronger then him. As opposed to Scott+Jean and Sinister trying to get their genes...

in comics mutant "levels" are not directly tied to power. alpha, beta, delta, Epsilon, Gamma, Omega. Alpha is humanoid, powerful and little to no flaws(aka, they can control it, and it doesn't just kill people innately). Storm, Kitty Pryde, Emma frost, psylocke etc are all Alphas...

yeah. My thoughts on the matter in more depth and with less venom. DLC is contracted. like, when they make the game, they agree with microsoft, and 2k that there will be 3 dlcs. So, when actually making them, they have to sit there and make choices on resources. And this is what we...

An arena? are you fucking kidding me? Someone over there just doesn't get the gameplay is NOT why anyone plays these games.

yeah, Lois lane, Hamilton and Stabler stand a much better chance of taking out 10-15 Kryptonians. best to send not-Superman to the undefended ship.

I liked it as a kid. but, I would not recommend now.

It does occur to me Vanellope is also Merrida. Also doesn't like her fate. Female. Trys to change it. Does, ruins everything. When faced with the consequences of her actions, completely ignores them, and chooses to do what she wants anyway. But everyone thankfully, just decides to go with...

Finally got around to watching Brave and Wreck it ralph. Did a search, and only this thread came up. I guess the threads were in the old forums? Don't want to make a new thread, though. So weird. The Disney movie, Wreck-it Ralph is SO much better then Brave, the Disney/Pixar movie...

Its a fine line at times. others not so much. I'd say Lotr does step over a few times. Dwarf tossing. Tricking Treebeard into going south. Wormtongue in his entirety. Pac Rim is inherently more campy, with the entire premise of giant robots and homaging anime. The very backbone of the...

I'm saying action has to be result of some conflict. the problem is, they do not explain the conflict before the action. You spend the majority of this moving, going "wtf is going on?" But it is not directed or edited or written like a mystery movie. WTF going on? works great for primer, or...

hugh is way too tall to be Wolverine like RDJ is Tony Stark. But otherwise does great, so no one complains. Just caught this. I liked it for the most part. Kindof like a First class. The movie for the most part is its own movie. It doesn't try to be a tie in movie like Origins was...

Batman doesn't wear a suit, because he is street level. He is supposed to be in the streets, fighting with his detective skills. Batman falls apart when he starts using teleporters, drones, and power suits to stop muggers, and mob bosses. Sci-fi batman doesnt work.

yes, go read it. Knight of Vengeance.

no not at all. Everything that has happened in marvel has happened. More or less. DC reboot. its entirely new people. Superman is 23. Cass Cain, Steph never existed, nevermind were robins or batgirls. The entire history was completely rewritten. Dr. light never raped Sue Dibney...

Marvel doesn't reboot. I dont think they have had any. They have a sliding timeline. where events in the past happened... but on a shifting timeline. Peter wasn't bitten by a spider in 1963 anymore, it was 1993. (or so.) peter isn't 16, he is now 23. he has aged 10 years or so over the...
