    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    While I had played Meridian 59 for years and UO before EQ, EQ is where most of my fondest memories are from. And most of them were about the world itself. I started in Qeynos, and one of the my first wow moment was in Qyenos Hills and finding the Blackburrow entrance with the gnoll's head...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    This is funny, The Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mixtape Vol. 1 topped the US Billboard chart this week, becoming the first soundtrack comprised entirely of previously released songs to reach the No 1 spot. It's still doing pretty good at the box office this week, it will hit $200M friday...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    I haven't read the hobbit in 20+ years, so the movies not being accurate is not what's bothering me..since to be honest, I barely remember the specific of the story. The thing is mostly that the "amazement" is missing, and there's nothing you can do about it. The Hobbit movies are not as...

    Untitled Bioware Game

    Looking forward to this, while Bioware is not exactly the company it was a few years back...it still carries tons of goodwill from me...and anything they do, I still consider to be worth looking into.

    Sierra

    You didn't have to type anything in the last few King Quest, and most of the other Sierra's quest series toward the end. They had a context sensitive menu if I remember correctly or a point and click...might be confusing interface between some of the adventures game of the era though. I would...

    The point is risk vs reward...people sitting at the dock take no risk and minimal effort for high reward. The merchant takes high risk in crossing the sea, and a lot of effort, gathering, harvesting, making the pack etc....or the reward. At least forcing people at sea where it's always pvp...

    My only issue with the trade packs to be honest is people camping the trader NPCS with zero risk. Pirates at sea is more interesting, it requires more skills for pirates to locate the merchant, chase him, attack him etc...there is also the risk that they might be attacked by other pirates...

    I'm curious to how they'll handle the headstart. If they go with few servers that fill up during headstart with nothing but patrons that will be a big problem for people joining later on those servers, even a problem for some of the patrons. Might end up being easier to get land on a new...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Adam Warlock major fault is that he's always been somewhat mentally unstable. He's not emotionally balanced either, he tends to be extremely doubtful, wallowing in self-pity, or self-centered and overconfident. In either case, it has lead him to make extremely bad decisions which have...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    Amazing movie, I was thoroughly entertained. Excellent pacing between action, comedy, etc... It's been a long time since I saw a sci-fi movie that made me wish I was there, the Marvel universe(literally) looks beautiful.

    NHL 2013 - 2014 Season Thread

    I think Bob Mckenzie of tsn said it best. He said Montreal likes, maybe really likes Subban but don't love him. And you have to love someone at 8-9+ per year for long term. The other part that was mentioned is Carey Price's contract. Montreal consider him their best and most important player...

    What do you guys think of a Soothsayer and Nightblade as a duo. Soothsayer: Shadowplay, Auramancy and Vitalism. Nightblade: Shadowplay, Auramancy, and Defense. Essentially both have sneak, teleport, and cc-breakers(immunity)...one tank, one healer. Our focus is not on pvp, but when...

    I just got a survey from ESO asking why I beta tested the game, but never ended purchasing the live version. I went to take the survey to essentially say I hated the combat, and there were still bugs, and game was not stable enough. So I answer I first question on the survey, press...

    There is still tons of land available on omega for houses and farms, not in the love zones though but a lot of the pvp zones are barely used right now in the east though. Also most of the land for medium and larger houses is unused. The initial rush will take the land in the over zones and...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    After reading a bunch of reviews of the 17 preview they did, I am almost certain the movie will be awesome. Every single person who seem to have seen that preview has been overwhelmingly positive about it. Hopefully that will translate into box office success, but it should be a great movie...

    I think part of the solution with the trade packs banking, is that people essentially camp the "turn in" NPC. I'm not sure if this would be feasible but it would be nice if the profit splitting would smaller the closer you get to the turn in NPC, and larger the further away. What I mean is if...

    I logged in to see how bad the damage was to my Edgewalker, it's pretty bad, actually it's really totally dead as far as being a hybrid DPS/HEALER. It is still viable as a DPS or as a healer...but hybrid version is totally dead. I am far from being in the best gear, but my magic power is...

    If I were you guys working on this, I would try to get some legal document to protect yourself. As it is as far as I know, he has no obligation toward any of you. Meaning if he ever gets funding and a experience team, he can just replace you all without ever paying you...you're volunteers...

    It's not just the DPS, healers have to adapt too. I had one run as a tank where the healer stood at max range stationary like you could in WoW. Even knowing this and trying to play accordingly, me and the DPS kept dying because we were out of range. We told him he should be a bit more...

    Me and my friend group all the time while leveling. We actually each have alts we play when the other one isn't on...and we level together 100% of the time on our main. This is probably one of the most annoying game to level up as a duo. We have no issue with phasing since we are always at...

    I expected it to be a short series dominated by the kings, and it was a short series...they did not really dominate although I think it was a obvious that they were a much better team, but somehow rangers manage to give us an excellent hockey. It's scary to think that Kings will essentially...

    Well I ran Stormtalon again with my Esper(dps) with another pug. It went much better, actually it was a flawless run with no deaths. Only the tank had run it before and knew the fights. So it was pretty impressive that we managed it without dying. I have to say that when in a good group...

    I used the dungeon finder for the first time to queue for Stormtalon as a DPS. I was surprised, took about 10 minutes to get a group. I'm an Esper DPS. Everyone was new to the dungeon, except the tank. He's run it a lot, and will let us know what to do...he mentions it a few times. First...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    It's strange to see such positive response to the game at launch. During beta, it seemed most people didn't really like it. It was too much of a themepark, they didn't like the classes, and felt combat was just ok, and a little gimmicky. Now, essentially all the same complaints kinda still...

    EQ Never

    MMO are not on the edge, even most failure bring in money, probably enough in most case to break even and turn in a small profit. Probably an awful return on investment though, but still it's worth pursuing as a genre because the few decent success rake in tons of cash.

    It's not just about game design, bugs and stuff...it's about accounting and cashflow. The company might have certain financial obligation to meet on a certain date and need revenue from the game release to be able to meet them. If they are unable to extend their financial deadline. They...

    Was that sarcastic? ArcheAge has one of the fastest leveling curve I've seen. Might be the most boring quest grind, but it's very quick to get to 50.

    I rolled an engineer, and I am loving it...but hating on the pets. They path pretty badly, and get stuck in combat a lot, which is preventing me from mining. I ended up ditching them right now, and I'm a botless engineer for now...which is still pretty fun...I mean I have a big fucking gun...

    The engineer gets another base ability around level 10 for support. It does less damage than the assault base ability but it generates aggro. Doesn't have a cast time.

    I played an Edgewalker to 50, and I really like it. Your DPS isn't huge, but you have a lot of mobility, CC, Anti-CC and good heals, especially when you get the level 45 heal that can be casted 5 times in a row. In PVP, you're hard to kill.
