Technically that's authoritarian not communist since communist is a wide reaching term. And considering voluntary participation polls have such a ridiculously high margin of error best of luck in getting anything but statistical noise.

Qw got himself banned no one else was involved in his choices to be unproductive. And on the Emote groups quote it's clear they mean you'll group with people you want to spend time with over randoms you hate but 'need' - which isnt a bad thing unless you're a complete asshole.

People need to stop meme'ing the F2P comments before their method of F2P is official it could easily be something like T1 limited without a sub where its a glorified trial for their F2P option - like EQ1 and 2 are currently outside of Test.

He's quoted the combat speed and over the top world destructionas being "demo-ified" where they're not really as fast and over the top for what they're targeting in the end product. I'm hoping for something paced close to EQ1 as well (just a smidge faster - only a smidge though) - that was a...

Sorry, that was the MINIMUM CONNECTION amongst average gamers I accidentally dropped a word - DSL I'm guessing - something far in excess of the "barely past dialup" any game to date has used. I've got a FiOS connection that's roughly half of what Google fiber is quoting theirs will be once they...

Nearly 40 - haven't stepped a foot in a college in almost two decades now. (Graduated in 94 with a MSHRM - of which some minor psychology is beneficial for obvious reasons [and yes before anyone comments - your math is right - I started college early turned 17 shortly after I started - was born...

Average internet connection these days amongst gamers I'm seeing quoted as 10Mb/s - most intense game I'm seeing on the market today is pulling 500kb/s from Googling around. We're just starting to pass up dial-up for how much bandwidth gets used up - and very few gamers have anything within...

Take Psych 101 and read up on selection bias.

Not saying it's a need - it's clearly important to SOE with SOEmote. I've messed with SOEmote in EQ2 and it seems completely impossible to decipher because of the features being realistic in proportion - the art direction fixes that "issue". I don't think SOEmote or emote quality is a big...

Funny that you say that after they've said they're targeting 4-5 year old machines at having a playable experience - not to mention the ignorance you seem to have about thing like "occlusion" when it comes to rendering. Sure, your CPU needs to handle some duty for that, but CPUs are rarely taxed...

With good reason - on a small screen that style of art allows expression to show, which is clearly a big deal to them with SOEMote. My vision is amazing and for FACIAL emotes I've always had a hard time making them out if I'm not on top of the person even if the best animated MMO. Covered...

Emergent AI like they're talking about already has existed for years in primitive form - Ultima Online had a basic version for Christ's sake. It's not some impossible challenge. Quite possible they'll screw it up - but its not unlikely they could pull it off either.

etchazz: Impossible to say currently on class speculation with a limit of 8 abilities per class (4/4 split thing) that makes it pretty much impossible to micromanage into a single class - especially with 40 classes to toss into the mix and more coming all the time... and additional abilities...

I agree - odds are there's going to be a mix of some easy and some hard with their method. Plus due to emergent AI stuff, the easy stuff will become less easy or "hide" and force people out of easy routes.

They've already clarified that it's not going to be that easy to make craters in the final product and that it will "heal" quicker when there's tons of players in an area. So it sounds like they're already making sure the system will prevent that unless it's absolutely intended as a tactic for a...

Officially excited then - hopefully pace ends up just a smidge past EQ1. Everything else has been part of my own "If I was making an EQ1 remake" list except for the minecraft elements, but the minecraft elements sound like they'll add some nice layers into the game (in more than one way...

Have they confirmed that the "pace" that they demonstrated in the demo was their intended pace? Or is there still room to convince them to go for something more measured like EQ1? Quick and flashy makes sense for an introduction to something to catch the eye, so I could see them dialing back -...

Odd, maybe one of the driver tweaks I did in between accounted for the difference, but all the ones I did SHOULD'VE cost me FPS in a normal setting. (i.e. VSync) CPU is a FX-8350 (or a past equivalent - too lazy to check my order history - it's a 4GHz FX with 4.2 GHz turbo I got like Nov or...

I've seen OC create bluescreens on PCs without overheating, I'd be leery on jumping on overheating being the only potential foil to cause a "failure" of some sort without RRODing. If you keep having games lock up or crash on you because of a voltage drought or whatever else the end experience is...

Full screen vs. borderless was a huge hit for me as well - pulled 10k on maximum at 1080p (7990 XFX o/c'ed DD edition card - my CPU needs work though, too stubborn to give up on AMD) but was barely passing 4k at lower settings in borderless windowed with only a rerolled Firefox window running at...

Negative sir - even if you could, you'd block it and then they'd just Kool-Aid Man a new entrance into the bank/CB.

Sounded like it with the "Player Forge" build your castle with someone elses towers you bought thing.

Well see - the "avoid zones" in the big mob fight doesn't leave me too hopefully with how plentiful they were.

Wife "saw that" too - but to me it's just the normal "American Anime" thing like Disney movies and the like do with somewhat exaggerated features to convey emotion better on a small screen. Her and Elizabeth look nothing alike to me besides the lips/eyes. I liked what I saw besides the combat...

BI if they wanted to do it radial style could've just added a toggle of some sort between the Founder and Vox variant of the given weapon quite easily.

Well, considering the previous systems fail rate that they apparently greenlighted before how is them pressing their luck in such regards surprising? I was reading an article that said 41% of people that own a 360 had at least one RROD - and they managed that while having the best selling...

Considering they went so far out of their way to use different names on EQ2, I'd have my doubts at them revisiting server names from EQ1. (In fact, personally I'd love to see that it's a megaserver thing with the only instancing being raids with a humongous world to explore myself - thus no...

Perhaps I was taking a less efficient approach, but I found the 2-weapon "restriction" to be fun since it forced me to switch around weapons more often then I'd like and use suboptimal weapons on a number of occasions and/or use melee whenever possible. And finding the ribbons not nearly as...

True recently - but only a handful of years back they were inventing new titles frequently - N64 era was their third major system (or maybe even further down the line? I started with consoles late...) and was the source of a ton of innovative titles. Some of which while sharing a name were...

Some challenges are absolutely brutal - at around 25/60 currently and a large portion of the rest I'm trying to wrap my head around even HOW to manage to do. (And of course about 1/3 of the missing ones got screwed because I like the "shock shirt" and apparently that goofs restricted damage...

Absolutely don't have a pre-order and just got a P4 invite myself a few days ago (I was forced to register it by yesterday in advance or it was going to expire or some such) - so no it's not a head start/pre-order phase.

Eh, having fun with it regardless - and the 5 new Voxophones through the Lutece Tear (once you buy both of their statues) were some nice extra characterization for the Lutece's I appreciated. I hate how they integrated the "Puddle Tear" Easter Egg though once you get around to it - there's zero...

360 fail rate isn't indicative of consoles as a whole - total of ~7-8 years between my two PS3s at this point, only failure has been from a HD that I was able to fix myself once researching it lightly and my cat catapulting one onto hardwood from the media center which Sony repaired for FREE...

If they do drop the price I'll actually finally consider both. If-when some decent XBOne exclusives show their face for me at least.

That's one week earlier than the sign from what I recall - it was the week of the 13th or something like that - early buzz was implying first week where I could hope for an early shipment to be here on my birthday (the 2nd) but the sign dashed my hopes since it was a full week and a half later...

Heh, actually in XCom: EU terms it's like playing in buildings exclusively with only really Chrysalids as opponents most of the time (although there are hybrids in some deeper SH expansions) with roughly Titan armor level of protection that is still one-shottable by the Genies. And to me as a...

"UC"?

I take it you never played the board game then Pyros? The Stealers had a number of unfair advantages that kept tension high - and from what I understand this is following the board game VERY closely. And I can see that Xarp - from a GRAPHIC standpoint it's still the same source material...

3DO wasn't turnbased was it? This is supposed to be TBS.

Something along that lines - I think with more tweaking than the average person you can get down to 2.5GB available in 32-bit pre-videocard - with 512MB-1GB video cards being the most common the last time I bothered to check the Steam survey doodad. (And too lazy to check now in case I'm wrong -...
