    That is a really great idea. Hopefully ESO or someone else picks that up. It seems like it would really increase the intensity of the 5-day fights as well.

    This is a fair criticism overall, although I think in the example you mention, the guy says that the only reason he didn't succumb to the spider bites like his companions was that he was Argonian, and you run through the tomb the isle is named for in the quest finale. I thought ZO had someone...

    One thing to be thankful for, at least, is they aren't selling Lifetimes for this knowing they are going f2p. After gorging myself on head start for probably 5 days straight, if there are issues with retail launch it might even be a relief. Let's see where everyone stands after the next...

    The moment Comcast gets serious about enforcing/charging for cap overages, I will go Business Class that same day. Most of my kids' TV is streamed over Roku boxes and you have no idea how much bandwidth you can use until you have Cars and Cars 2 running in HD non-stop for 12 hours a day...

    My experience with the two was the exact opposite: I was really excited about Wildstar and then took part in a stress test/beta weekend. I am totally put off now and having trouble forcing myself to play this weekend at all. ESO, I didn't have any impressions other than the relentless...

    While I didn't do any PVP or crafting during my beta weekend, this review echoes my sentiment about the game pretty well. Also my impression.

    If I play this game for 6 months, that would be a win for me. I love love love GW2 and TSW but even those games get to where while I love them, I just don't want to *play* them past a certain point. The only question that I have at this point is: Do the overall narratives remain as...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I am going to have to start over this beta. From the last beta I was in, I logged into today to existing characters in the middle of a number of things, totally confused re: the interface/abilities/etc. The art style is so totally WOW though, both good and bad from that.

    There are a large number you can, indeed, from which you can avoid and/or dodge away. I am specifically referring to the large wind-up/graphical warning attacks that NPCs do. Those can not be dodged and will hit you whereever you are. To test what I mean, engage any opponent(s) and wait from...

    -None of the special attacks account for distance or positioning; dodging out of the way of a mob with the ramping up motions (not the cone attacks) did nothing. Those attacks, both yours and theirs, hit if not actively blocked regardless of where you or they are. The charge is just the most...

    This isn't a challenge but where? I really wasn't able to start playing any real time (I only leveled my first char to lvl 3 Friday and Sat) until day 3 and never experienced or saw that personally. Edit: I did have to /reloadui a fair number of times, getting hung in the first person...

    During this past weekend, I played every starter zone and a little beyond in the next and in that run, I found 1 NPC that didn't spawn (indicator was on an empty spot in a multi-series quest; the planting the seed thing past Ebonheart), 1 quest with a broken mechanic (the trail of diplomacy on...

    I got my head start key with the receipt. I also pre-ordered from Amazon but cancelled that one; all I want from the physical edition is the art book and I will just buy that on Ebay. The last thing I need is another random statue taking up space in my office.

    ^^ I think this probably plays into it. Each faction was so story-driven that playing through more might indeed be hurting launch. Early access for imperial edition pre-orders starts in what? Like 6 weeks? I may not play much in the next couple of beta weekends because now that I am excited...

    I didn't have any issue with load times after Saturday and didn't really have any issues with lag (occasionaly noticed some but nothing really bad) after Sunday. Friday and Saturday were horrid, though on both counts. I saw some bugs, had one NPC who didn't spawn/fell through the world(after...

    The Dwarf tool are ridiculously good looking. Smooth in my experience will only take edges down so far; there may be methods around that by constructing them a certain way but with blocks, that is what I would expect the outcome to be.

    I think the worst thing about this KS is that it has given Booze a reason to rub his dick on the forums multiple times a day. I need to get a mouse with a free-spinning wheel again just so I can scroll past that splerg without getting any on my screen.

    So I played through the quests/starting areas for all three factions this weekend; I took one char (Pact templar) to 8, and then a Covenant sorc as well as a Dom thief to 6 and through the completion of those areas' (Bleakrock/Stros M'Kai/K-something for Dominion) quests. Let me say this: Those...

    It pretty much is like getting killed by a shark or struck by lightning: It may not happen very often in real life as opposed to in media but when it does, it isn't a one-in-a-million odds. Its 1-in-1 and that is the only life you have.

    Some of the best of these I have found were in GW2: the attack on the Centaur Stronghold was always a great experience for me. Without good scaling, though, Kreugen makes an excellent point.

    It will definitely increase their interaction; I don't know about their socialization. When I grouped in WoW, waaay back in vanilla, very often there was almost nothing said for the entirety of the run.

    I will echo this again: ESO's first 3 or 4 levels were terrible the first time through. Now that I know what I am doing, they may be less so but its anti-Tortage: The game improves markedly and regularly as you unlock content by progressing through the story. So much wrong with the rest of...

    I think the sub is a huge part of the negative reactions to it, though. It immediately puts it into a different category for evaluation. In regards to the complaints about the "same old thing", which in large measure it is, I think is difficult for everyone, both devs and players, to let go...

    I have to say, after I finally got into the game and got past Coldharbor, it was actually really enjoyable. I have never played a game that tried so hard to get new players to not like it. I was playing a Nord and it wasn't until I was about halfway through Bleakrock that the game finally...

    That is my process as well; my Iron and Tungsten Picks were green but all you are doing is moving up the chain. I just added them to my hotbar and would switch as the resource required, as moontayle indicated. Next upgrade, no tears were lost throwing them in the forge.

    The hope was to be within 20-25% of the 800k with 72 hours to go. Lots of KS, particularly those who are close to funding but not there yet, get that level of bump in that stretch. With this, of course, the danger is not being that close. That being said, I imagine the first thing they will...
