my thoughts on this was always, what exactly is wrong with that? body blocking a doorway while archers fire from ramparts sounds like good intuitive design and play. now, sure. we then start giving ncps abilities and AI that can counter these tactics. Backing off. forcing players to leave...

I don't know. on paper this sounds amazing. They are calling for some of the things I have asked for, for years. Ecology, action mmo, dynamic spawning questions, caves/dungeons, etc. I just have serious doubts on what is actually possible. And anyones experience in taking these ideas...

really? I thought it would tally over.

bedroom eyes lizard is fucking killing me.

yes. this is basically what I was saying on that topic. Rogues getting turned into DPS in mmo's is a travesty.

why would you think ser APH would be pronounced ser Eff? seraphim, serafina Are you confusing it with serif?

that is 3 shares, not likes I believe. edit: And... reading further, I feel bad for beating a dead horse.

same reason WoW never did I imagine. Fear of stealing your own customers. We never even got a warcraft 4.

the EQnext makes alot of sense. This is clearly not a sequel. this is a spinoff. Obviously a great many that wanted an EQ3 are going to be very disappointed. hell of alot of nostalgia in this thread for example. If you can let that go, and appreciate something that will take the EQ IP, and...

yeah. A.I. I suppose this is exactly what I suggested/predicted after seeing scribblenauts the first time. Everything is given tags. Like a lit torch would be something like [plant,dead,wood,fire,oil] These tags then create AI behaviours, as well as interaction. A troll might be...

Alright, who wants to write a FAQ for the first post? (not it!) Terran regens. Specifics have not been said. What has: 1. short term effects (typically things like attacks which cause damage) have short term respawn. Trees, bridges, etc respawn quick. 2. longer term effects. Caves...

dude that is the same as in every mmo ever. why would loot rule etiquette suddenly change? Also, there is binding. that was stated already. although was not made clear, bind on equip or pickup, or both.

I don't believe this for a second frankly. This kind of talk is the kind of thing everyone has had on wishlists for YEARS. never has anyone even come close. Look at LoL, etc, Bots. look at Starcraft AI, etc. Shit is all functionally retarded. The only time AI has even come close to...

http://hasdcdonesomethingstupidtoday.com/ DC is a never ending source of amusement.

eh. its tricky sometimes. i was just referencing that it was not even something I had heard of. but seemed to fit when I googled, after I considered a couple others that I thought it might be. Thought maybe scarygoround or krakows first comic(which was hilariously terrible) at first...

I think somewhere in there is where the McMMo comes in. MP skyrim you play with your friends, and then go back to public, persistent town. Path of Exileish, or Neverwinter. Maybe even having it mostly private, but your instance can be opened to public ala Borderlands, or PoE^. I don't...

google "webcomic tentacle arm" This it? http://www.crfh.net/

As broadband proliferated. And as more online multiplayer games proliferated. more and more having permanent online accounts. you start looking at LoL's, diablos, guildwars, etc.. and asking, what am I paying for in mmos? And at the same time the MMO's got more and more instanced, making...

haha oh dear. yeah, that phrasing doesn't give me any confidence at all. Although, GW2's problem was not a conceptual one. its was a mathematical one mainly. Scaling up and down was not handled the best. the formula didn't account for gear or traits quite well enough. Traits...

Gravedigging profession. My god. oh oh oh. Undead pc's from bodies that got swallowed too!

no, he just described the first 10 years of MMOs. Even in Wow people bitched to no end on travel times and having to walk to raids, camping entrances, etc. especially on pvp servers. Oh you want in Blackrock? going to have to corpse run past 90 alliance, or vice versa. There are MANY...

dropping a body in a world with destructible terrain seems like it could be a problem to me. terrain regen around it? does the body pop on top of it? Either way, problems. aka, digging a tunnel with pickaxe, someone trains an ogre into your tunnel. it kills you. and then the tunnel...

Well, the "long range targeted systems" suck answers this as well. Again, like in Hong Kong with striker hanging back. If the only way to gang bang kaiju was to run up and fist fight them, 5 or more on 1 target would result in more friendly fire then anything else. also, the pilots we saw...

This was my "behind the scenes" explanation for the "wall of life". I don't think I mentioned it. Fact is, a real explanation of the wall isn't really needed. just like the Jeagers. Would exposition really have helped the movie? I did watch it again btw. So have a better remembrance of...

creeping charlie is green. growns faster, more solid then grass. will not ever be overwhelmed by violets, crabgrass or any other weed. and it has awesome purple flowers. why would anyone ever use grass?

false equivalency unfortunately. if mmos had 1ms response times and frame hit detection. sure.. but they don't. they have 10s cooldowns on skills. 1.5s globals, mythic seconds, often lock on targeting. just having a block is revolutionary in mmos it seems.

its way too early to talk about abilities and shit. remember when GW2 locked traits into teirs 2 weeks before it went live? whatever format they have now, could easily change by the time this is ready in 2 years.

Dredd and pac rim vs Grownups, scary movie 36, etc. Can you blame them?

More then just "predisposed".

bards are dps like Rogues got transformed into dps!

bots are not difficult to beat in LoL.

yeah. what is the point of cash end game?

If it was simply fighting against socially engineered fate, that would be one thing. "I was bred to be a factory working, but I really want to be a librarian!" ok, that is something. Plenty of totalitarian stories are about that. And that is a fair enough point. Gattaca goes past that...

Odd. Overall, I find it to be a huge improvement over bl1. Little things like menus and the like. guns seem a bit more balanced. Those improvements on the farming game. Achievements and challenges. Some problems still exist. There is a bit of cross purpose in its co-op mp nature...

yeah, or alternatively, you skill up your pet, wherein you press the "g" go kill everything button. and sit there while your pet... kills everything. 90% of the time my play leveling my mechano is, spawning the robot. Running around opening chests while he clears the map.

I had no idea Hatorade was an adorable little girl. Nice pieces.

Not even. there are a TON of games that do not use the trinity. anything older then EQ pretty much.. Trinity as we know it now, is just pure laziness. Poor AI, and poor design, that reduced DnD from its far more robust class interaction, to tank, dps, healbot. NPC AI at the time couldn't...

Seriously? 2013 and we are still asking that question? tanking via controls. slows, hard cc, collision, etc. No taunts.. but there is still aggro. Aggro as a value of "threat of target" is fine. dealing damage, healing, using CC. its a value assigned to assign threat as you would vs a...

but now with facial recognition, you'll be able to see players making jerk off faces while raiding. Revolutionary mmo design. INNOVATION.

I said trinity sucks. I didn't say classes can not be unique in design.
