    One thing about their quests...they split them into "Quest" and "Task" in the quest journal, although they are the same thing really. The quests tend to be chains that make a story that will take you through the zone, or part or the zone. The task are for the most part just a single quest...

    I had not played the game since they stopped last year because I had enough time back then to know that I really liked it, and didn't want to spoil it before release by playing too much. I decided to try it again this weekend, mostly just to give the medic and engineer a try since they were...

    Whenever I hear about how difficult EQ was, I kinda roll my eyes a bit. I mean, it was a challenge...but a very large part of that challenge was due to bugs and poor coding(or limits of the times). What was really hard about doing dungeons, or Fear/Hate? Bad pathing, mobs not clearing...

    Originally, the first time they didn't send keys, they were attaching them to accounts...but these are just keys that can be used on any account, therefore be giving away without having to give access to the NCSOFT account.

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    It's still very playable with an action oriented class, but some things are hard to do...but you still can if unreliable, there is enough options to the combat system that you can do other things. My blademaster has a block ability, it makes a follow up action instant, but if I hit block 0.5...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    I made it to 30 on my Blade Master, I stopped when Nightcrawler came out on Marvel Heroes, but he's 60 now so will probably get back to this soon. While the questing is on rails, the combat and movement is so awesome that I don't really give a crap about the questing, the fact that I can't...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I manage to finally get my first to 60 this weekend. I usually stopped around 30, had like 9 heroes there. So got Ms Marvel from 55 to 60 and Gambit from 32 to 55. I love the double xp, it should be like that normally.

    I don't think we can play the Korean version without the Korean Social Security Number thing. I made an account for the chinese version, it's not too complicated and been playing for a week now. I'm 28 blade master, the combat is just crazy fun. The rest is extremely linear...the combat has such...

    TERA

    I didn't know Blade and Soul was F2P in China, installed it yesterday. I managed to get to 19 without understanding a single word, quest, spells, UI. Game is fun, makes wish even more that it was released in English. I like it better than TERA so far.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    My expectations for the game are not that high to be honest, but $100 is nothing, especially since it's for something that's likely to be different than the WoW clones we have gotten in the last 8 years. Hopefully, I get a decent game out of it...at worse it fails to launch and I lose the...

    I've always preferred limited set of useable skills from a large pool of skills than being able to use everything all the time. Mind you here that I am talking about "Combat Skills" specifically, I don't really mind if I have let's say 8-12 combat skills, and another unlimited amount of...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    The hero packs are usually decent value but buying a single hero or costume is somewhat expensive. I still love having bought the ultimate pack at the beginning. I also bought the new pack. F2P games are damn expensive. I enjoy leveling the heroes to 30 or so. With the new xp bonus for...

    It still amazes me that people still seem somewhat surprised about the WOW quest based progression. People have been saying it's like that forever...even people like me that totally love the game have said it's a WOW clone with action combat.

    I'm not a huge fan of fighting in hockey, but it's there so I'm fine with it... Having said that, there is nothing that a player can do on the ice that can come close to justifying what Thornton did to Orpik. Attacking an unsuspecting player from behind, and throwing him on the ground and...

    Why did Rift fail?

    I wouldn't say Rift failed exactly, but it certainly wasn't as big success. To me the game failed to have a "killer" feature, it was just an extremely well done average at everything game. I prefer a game that has a few memorable features, and a few bad ones than something that is just...

    I know I'm in the minority here, but I found TERA's combat fairly boring. The only time it was fun was when doing BAMs, and I attribute more to the challenge BAMs represented than actual combat mechanics. Even those became a boring routine after a while with no danger except making a mistake out...

    I love this show, it might not be the greatest show ever made...but fuck it if it's not the show that understands it's audience the most and just give them what they want. At the pace they are introducing shit, they are gonna run out of stuff to before the season ends.

    That was my experience, it's kinda hard to explain, but after a while you don't really notice the red stuff on the ground in term of visual distraction, but still notice them to avoid them. It's a bit hard to explain, it's like a HUD in a lot of game...you stop seeing it but still get the info...

    I think the referee threw him out of the game on the 2nd hit more to keep control of the game than anything else. If he hadn't hit Backstrom earlier, he would not have been ejected. I think the ref just thought it could degenerate if he stayed him.

    It's a deal breaker. At around 30 my hp could vary by 25-30% more when gearing for tanking, and my support power was close to double my assault power(tanking abilities scaled off support and dps abilities scaled off assault).

    I'd pay for a $100 Founder's Pack for EQ Next for sure with similar benefit than what they offered for EQ Next Landmark. At this point I am undecided about Landmark. The issue is not about money, I'm just not sure at this point that Landmark offers anything that interest me...like I'm not...

    It wasn't just apathy, I believe that Sigil did an horrible job of managing it's beta community. Providing any feedback that was viewed as negative by the "Fanboys" led to threads becoming nothing but fanboys insulting people and telling them to go play something else. Even fucking bugs were...

    EQ Never

    Not that different, it's just that in Landmark people will create content that "might" end up being used in EQ Next. So people are paying to possibly create content for SoE for EQ Next. Don't get me wrong, I'll most likely pre-order anyways. As the saying goes...A fool and his money are...

    So they want us to pay to help them build their game? That's brilliant, it's like having your employees actually pay to work for you rather than you paying them. Now that's a fucking next gen feature if I ever saw one.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    The last 2 episodes were good, it felt like they remembered that Castle(the show) is at it's best when it's a bit silly in the type of murder they get, and that Castle(the person) can go into these really strange speculation about the motivation behind the murders. The show isn't as good when it...
