    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    um what? in the preview chapter Mercy she's practicing her mummer's stuff/faceless man act and is dressed up in makeup and a wig. she seduces Raff, takes him back to her Apt to have sex with him, and in the middle of undoing his trousers she slits his femoral artery and is like "oh shit...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    another thing, this thread is getting annoying. The book and the show are different things. One is based on the other. All this silly nitpicking about this scene or that scene making it into the show is retarded. Why would Loras and Jaime have that scene in the context of this show? Why...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That was rast the sweetling or however you spell his name, in Winds, not polliver. polliver dies in the inn and arya gets needle back, it just happens much later on in the book than it did on the show. Also for the 2+ pages of arguing about dany/barristan/jorah shit, they already explained...

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

    50k subs? lol if this game is ever made which is optimistic i'm thinking more a tale in the desert niche level, ie 1k-5k subs, all of which are backers who have jboots and horseys and whatever else crap they're hawking now.

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    oh man AC2. Basically if you wanna see what WoW was based on then feel free to play this game, because every new and interesting idea that wow at release had was ripped directly from AC2. Its too bad that they didn't just cut/paste the AC2 classes into WoW cus they were awesomer. tactician...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Neverwinter is a testament to just how far fun and engaging combat mechanics can take an otherwise steaming pile of Freemium McMMO shit. Still playing daily and its been what, almost 10 months. The game can get grindy farming the end dungeon over and over and over again for very good (no...

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

    edit: quoting myself as I was going to edit the original post but forum logged me off Above all things the truth of that statement should serve as a cautionary tale to anyone making or funding MMOs. Instead we have zenimax (TESO) saying "ready or not, april bitches!". I look back at that...

    Neverwinter: PC

    There is no tag and cast system. The direct heal works by pointing your reticle at the player and casting your heal. nearly all healing is from Astral Seal or Astral Shield though.

    Neverwinter: PC

    Think you can play it with a controller but not sure why you would want to. If all you do is solo mini-dungeons and quests and shit then yeah I guess. Playing this with a controller is like wanting to play a pc fps with a controller. You're just intentionally handicapping yourself in one of...

    EVE Online

    You have to pay $20 bucks to CCP to transfer a character to someone else's account. Last I checked, you still had to make a forum post in the wts character forum indicating it is a private sale, so that there is a record that the character changed owners. Now if someone you knew paid you...

    I'm looking at screenshots from ARR which is the beta that I played and yeah, they're nothing to write home about. ESO had better graphics. I played both games at absolute max settings. I'm talking landscape, lighting, shadows, etc. I'm not a fan of the art style of either game btw...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    FF14 controls were sluggish and unresponsive, like there was latency between key presses an actions, which didn't really match what you expected, and I wasn't a fan of the animations, at all. WoW's control scheme (like one of the things they got absolutely right) is absolutely fluid and...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Played Ebon Pact. FF14 spoiled you for MMO graphics? trolololol. I couldn't play that game for more than a few days due to crap control scheme (similiar to ESO actually) but it's graphics were horrible. Neverwinter had better graphics than that shit. But again, i really hate FF anime style...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I have to admit this is the only site i've seen where people are bashing this game's graphics. I don't know if y'all just have shit computers or what, but i play every game in ultramax settings and ESO is definitely skyrim+ (unmodded of course). The animations and character models are ESish as...

    why would pvp matter with an ES combat system? character movement/control/targetting is much like playing a console shooter with boxing gloves on.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Having not played WoW since 2006 I must admit I didn't know they implemented something like this. I posted a thread in 2004/2005 time frame predicting that this is where MMOs were headed. I'm kinda surprised it took this long.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The passage of time and events/character impact on the story/gameworld that is handled via instancing. this combined with NPC draw and placement being handled client side rather than server makes for a more interesting story telling experience than say, SW:TOR, which again, is the other major...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Game definitely needs lots of polish but for what it is, multiplayer Elder scrolls, it's quite good. some systems are quite interesting in how they are implemented. tons and tons of stuff is client side for one, and interesting in how they utilize instancing. There's parallel's here to...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    I mean it was clear that it was going to be an MMO but they ran out of money so said "Ok it's a single player game now that should buy us some time and introduce our IP so we can find some magic money later and make an actual MMO" very skeptical that any actual MMO assets exist, other than...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    I must of sunk atleast 60-70 hours into reckoning when I was stuck in the desert with nothing to do. It was about elves, or faeries or something, right? I'm sure it had a story but it was buried under about 10k generic MMO style fetch/kill/bear ass quests.

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    I enjoyed my 27th MMO (or whatever), Eve Online (2006-present), far more than my first, EQ (1999-2003).

    Neverwinter: PC

    I still play regularly, on dragon server. Really hate PWE and cryptic and their ineptitude so been hoping for a game to come along with better core gameplay but sadly the rest of the MMO market is taking the piss atm. UI minigames, GCD rotations and DDR whackamole is sadly the norm in much of...

    I have an order of magnitude more faith in this meeting their expectations than EQN meeting 1/100th of SOE's.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    Sub numbers are practically meaningless nowadays with nearly every MMO being cash shop games. Whether sub (WoW, Eve Online, and soon TESO, any others left?) or "F2P" cash shop (practically everything else), some games are making profits hand over fist, some aren't and are laying off employees...

    The tell bug has been on ptr since they first rolled out feywild for testing there. Also the nightmare mount basically old nightmare boxes if opened now are now 75% chance to drop the epic mount. Also been like that for a month on test server and they rolled it out to live. Just more lol...

    EQ Never

    Must of missed this, when did they say sb, or even mobs, would be in eqnl? Nevermind that that still has nothing to do with what i said. even if you could bring sb/mobs in you can't make your own mini-mmorpg, you could just make a mini eqn with different scenery.

    Um no. Arm chair developer is class, combat system, skill tree, ui, and other game systems.

    EVE Online

    While it's cool that they've green lit the turning of that tech demo (Eve VR) into an actual game (Eve Valkyrie) it's not an MMO. It's a really cool looking Oculus Rift Dog fighter game, that takes place in the Eve Setting but not actually in Eve (not like Dust is in Eve).

    I wonder how much money it cost SOE to buy the best of show awards, given that they've done literally nothing with this vaporware other than outsource middleware and write shit down on napkins.

    EQ Never

    Kerran was their Tauren equivalent from when the game was going to be a WoW Clone, that's why 10feet tall and omgshoulderpads. Obviously they're reusing all art assets/animations from earlier iterations of the game cus they have like nothing else done.

    Neverwinter: PC

    that's a pretty bad baseline as the new CTA skirmish allows anyone level 6 - 60 to group together. The mobs are scaled to your level, so you're dealing with % hits dmg done/taken. So a 60 GF is cleaving (base attack) for 10% of their hp and shows as 1,500-2,000 damage done while a level 15...

    EQ Never

    They deal with it the same way any competent developer does, do not trust the client. Other than EQ the only games i've heard of having client hacks is DCUO and Neverwinter, and both were due to retread dev's putting shit client side. I'm assuming SOE fixed DCUO? Cryptic fixed Neverwinter by...
