Dumar's memory sucks, unless he is specifically referring to UO and before, because EQ 100% had RMT going on a daily basis. The scrub warrior who randomly had Cobalt boots like a week into Kunark, or the guy with no higher level characters dual wielding Yaks at level 20. Shit like that was far...

For pure moneymaking addiction success? I can't see anything being better. Social Media + collect 'em all + progressive goals that require both the previous concepts = Dollar Bills. Lots of them. I mean I would fund that shit and invest in the company because unless it is a complete...

I would say that not having the item doesn't stop you from gathering resources, but having it means you simply don't have to keep track of how many picks you have. It's more of a convenience item than something that is required. You won't really progress through the game (or through crafting)...

I'd assume even if there's a sub that most newer games are going to have cash shop vanity shit. Really, I think most people just want themselves to look badass. I couldn't honestly care less what other people look like or do, and haven't since pre-kunark EQ. But cash shops are here to stay...

David the Gnome was a boss. He rode a fox and did mad veterinarian action with a pointy red hat. Heathcliff, however, was fucking terrible.

Or just people who grew up watching anime mixed in with their GIJOE/Thundercats/Transformers/He-Man et al. Can't help it if you had a crappy childhood when it came to cartoons =/ PS: Movie looks cool. Very Evangelion.

There's an easy solution to the optical shit of people having cooler gear they paid for vs. gear you raided/earned in the looks department. And that's putting a toggle under the graphics options that turns off player purchased items on all players/other players. If the option isn't enabled...

Honestly, they just need to have flying mounts only work in specific zones that require having the flying mount. Floating chunks of rock with mobs/nodes on them that only appear in that area, and both the mobs and nodes are not required to experience or enjoy the game. But to use those zones...

"Here's a Rubik's cube, go fuck yourself." May be the best gaming related quote I have read in quite some time.

They would basically have to completely hack off the teraforming aspect and just leave in the acquisition and crafting angles. Otherwise you end up with penises. Penises everywhere. As far as the eye can see. Realistically, the "sandbox" portion of EQ:N will most likely relate more to...

So blackwulf apparently forgot that his alt account was logged in. Or something. Game looks pretty similar to every other mmorpg on the market. The graphics look like other games that have come out, the engine is debatable (lets see some hardcore min-maxed raid footage at high resolution or...

Correct. The pay-per-period style gameplay only really gets its money's worth from events and shit that occur during that period. When a month passes and nothing outside of what you have already paid for (the core game+expansions) occurs, then that is effectively 0 return on the pay for that...

Actually there's an easy way to avoid being called a shill. And that is looking at what is presented and viewing it through the eyes of someone who knows the genre. If you come off with "Seriously they're doing EVERYTHING AWESOME!" when clearly shit has been done before hundreds of times? You...

Absolutely wrong. I've spent hundreds of hours (and RL days) in EQ and it is not coming from some place of ignorance of the game. Efreeti was "hard" to break, easy to hold. Lord/Frenzy/Whatever were easy to break, easy to hold if you had a full group. I mean for fuck's sake, Necros held that...

"Some" is an underestimate. The mmo-hipster crowd fucking -loves- the idea of a reskinned EQ. Smed has basically said that is a no-go across the board, but there are definitely people who still want the moon, as it were. I just want evolution within the genre. Move past quest hubs; move past...

Personally I hope they take the ideas of the old and merge them with the new. The layout of specific zones is one thing that could be easily improved upon, and I hope they go the route of taking existing and making +1 to it as opposed to a complete revamp. I played a Dark Elf (fuck the haters)...

I was on Medivh when they were the first to open the gates gamewide. That shit was literally unplayable haw. The server was laggy as fuck everywhere and a slideshow at best on top of the line hardware at the time if you were even near Silithus. Lots of people hordeside in the top couple of...

Pretty sure that the idea put forth by SE is that they don't want to go back to their "best" until they can top it, which the director believes that they haven't done yet. Hence the lack of a remake of 7. Of course, for many things that happened during a very specific period of gaming, the...

Not really. You'll want to do Fornival's Quest about evicting his tenants (short bald guy with a stache wandering around the noble district or in his house just to the left of the Duke's place) so you can escort his daughter Symone around later to fully unlock the Blacksmith's wares. Beyond...

That and apparently she's already got implants in (as it was the final stage of her surgery deal) and knowing what money can achieve, they probably still look good. Good for her.

Really... this is entertainment. If you aren't entertained, then don't follow it. If you are? Then it is doing the job it is supposed to do. This -looks- interesting from a gameplay standpoint, which is where I find my meat and potatoes when it comes to gaming. Derivative of previous games...

I believe with EQN that no information besides "SANDBOX!" and "NEVER SEEN BEFORE" and other silly buzzwords and shit with nothing actually available to view/critique til later in the year. TESO has revealed some underwhelming (to this board) mechanics/videos/ideas that rustle the shit out of...

I honestly spend 99% of my time hollowed, so for the most part hackers are a non-issue. I did, however, make the mistake of being human in anor londo once. Literally an invasion every possible moment. Killed a guy, got killed by a different guy, decided that hollowed was the way to go.

Correct. Never understood the fascination with digital CEs and downloadable content being bundled in. If I get a physical copy? Yeah, that's something to collect. Having a ticker on a website claiming I have something collected? Infinitely less interesting.

Just wanted to chime in with the idea of hardcoded factions being retarded and I wish it went the way of the dodo. Otherwise, still interested in this game for the most part. We'll see how it looks closer to release.

Voting no because I'm guilty as fuck about armchair deving. I also tend to actually post different ideas while many of the neckbeards post the same shit ad nauseum.. I put those people on ignore, because I already know what they are going to say. You can only refute stupid ideas so many times...

I personally love the tongue-in-cheek style commentary that some games give. This shit? Appears to be right up that alley. Blizzard may have taken the real world humor angle a bit too far, but this game seems like it knows the limits of the medium and is all over the applicable comedy levels...

Dungeons need to be modular in the sense that "This shit over here is rape for less than 5 people, but this area is ok for 3!" type modular, not dynamically changing based upon who is brought to the dungeon. Let players realize that Elite means they probably can't solo it under normal...

Pretty much exactly. In literally every mmorpg on the market that has a lfd/lfg system installed, people still 100% would prefer to just invite people they know and run shit normally in all circumstances. To claim otherwise is to simply have zero experience with games that contain those...

You are set free in WoW, Laura. It is a conscious choice to click the big exclamation mark/question mark denoted npc and follow the dialogue. It isn't required; it isn't forced. It doesn't instantly negate the ability to form groups by clicking the npc. Literally not a single thing is...

Honestly, I think it comes down to specific feature excitement as opposed to entire game excitement. When War launched, I'm pretty sure WoW didn't let you queue from anywhere to PVP. You still had to find warmasters et al. Also, Xping via PVP wasn't really a thing (my memory is hazy at the...

That was definitely a totally different voice. We've heard him talk tons such as in the episode where he meets his old world war 1 buddies/rivals, and he sounded strange this entire episode. Could be the H, in theory, but it was honestly pretty jarring. Ah well, still a good episode~

I approve. Play more games than just betaing(or developing a mmo without previous mmo experience.... wtf) before you come around claiming that shit we have already seen before is the new jesus in town. Seriously, drop an idea that -hasn't- been done before and people might care. All you have...

Raid caps are stupid and I agree with the mentality that regrets that they were ever implemented. Create content that makes it prohibitive to have more than x players if they are undergeared/zergable. Let people bring who they want when they want and let the strategy dictate the fight. If 120...

Eh, the KoToR Single player games combined never came close to 10m sales, and I am probably safe to assume that they had a substantial amount of overlap from individuals buying the first one and then the second one. The IP -is- big, but as far as games go (especially PC centric ones) it isn't...

Kicked in the $7 to get everything, definitely well worth it. Already own Darksiders 1, so if someone wants a key, shoot me a pm and the first one is yours. The rest? All mine.

Looks cool but I'm gonna wait a bit before shelling out for this game. The state of the game is in too much flux at the moment for me to want to support it. This isn't like Terraria or something where i instantly went "Yup spending money on this" without even thinking. Definitely gonna keep...

Put in hundreds of hours into Terraria over multiple "playthroughs" and this will be a day 1 purchase for sure.

It appears to only carry over within the chapter, thus far. Ie, chapter 1 buildings and layout don't carry over to chapter 2. And I completely agree: If there's a tutorial or something mission that I missed that explains how the game works in better detail, I would love to watch/play it...

It takes a totally different mindset from most building games, I'm finding. Never played any other Annos, but it -really- forces you to think about effective zoning right out the gate, as you can hamstring the fuck out of yourself via materials and general placement if you do stuff "wrong."...
