    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This^ Plus most of the beta 2 dungeons were tank and spank. But all the mechanics weren't in and no skill chains as he pointed out. Beta 3 will have pretty much everything in that will be in the final game. And open beta after that will most likely just test for stability and only be a couple...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I don't think we really disagree. It's just well no developer has done it yet. We only have past precedent to go by. In MMOs, the classes that are built to take and absorb damage with a few healing abilities and 3/4 of the DPS of a pure DPS class ALWAYS are the strongest. No MMO yet has been...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Comparing LoL or any other MOBA to an MMO is pointless. MOBA class design is not necessarily good for PVE design. There has to be a choice from the start to be a PVP game or a PVE game. Trying to be both just leaves both camps without what they want.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    These systems already exist in said games. The devs just don't follow thru on their promises and until they do I'm happy to lose the 15% that play for the PVP so the 85% that play for PVE can be left alone. If they ever get their shit together then fine.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    And it's funny most of the people that love MMO PVP gravitate to the OP classes. They just like to grief and face roll people. And if they can't do that they bitch and leave the game anyways. Only, by that time the game is no longer enjoyable for either crowd anymore.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    That's bullshit. EQ2 was ruined by their attempt at PVP balance. They even had a system to keep it separate from the PVE abilities. My enchanters were constantly nerfed every patch. Why? Their PVE abilities made them too powerful in PVP. Class balance doesn't exist. I agree with you there...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Well maybe the people who play the game for the PVE are sick of their MMOs being ruined because of PVP and the whining for balance that ends up nerfing the game for everyone else. PVP is why we can't have nice things in MMOs anymore and a lot of us are sick of it.

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    What the fuck would you like us to talk about? An MMO nobody has any details about that was canceled? They covered that on the first page. Now the conversation has shifted elsewhere. Deal with it dickhead!

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    No I'm literally saying make a Pokemon MMO. Same world, same Pokemon. Same battle system. Instead of guilds you could form gyms. You could train, battle, raise Pokemon. That game would PRINT more money than the last 4 Nintendo consoles and I'm not even joking.

    EQ Never

    Games like EQ2, GW2, LOTRO, DDO aren't pay to win at all IMO. But games like Allods Online, Runes of Magic and their ilk are straight up pay to win. You literally HAVE to spend money to be competitive in their end games. No ifs, ands or buts. But keep this in mind. All those cool mounts that...

    Yeah I agree. If Nintendo made a Pokemon MMO, it would literally print money. Big fucking piles of it. It's literally ASKING to be made an MMO.

    The difference I guess between the black market and the official market is really developer resources. I'd rather have the developer charge me a monthly sub and put all their resources into their game. Save the nice graphics for items that were long quest rewards, epics, raid gear etc. Now...

    The beta roadmap states phase 4 or open beta. States characters will not be wiped. They have followed that roadmap religiously since alpha.

    Keep in mind, open beta characters will transfer over and not be wiped. So technically, we all get early access.

    I just hope they limit transfers for 1.0 characters to certain servers and offer some servers with completely new characters only. Then, I'll be satisfied. Everyone starting from the bottom

    We all know that dev resources are limited. So if devs start selling the cool looking gear in the cash shop, that means that there is little chance of those cool looking items to ever drop in the game themselves. Look at SOE's track record. All the cool mounts and unique graphics are for sale...

    I've heard people claim Wildstar is a WoW clone. Aren't the people that made Carbine studios some of the devs from the Vanilla WoW anyways? Not to derail you from the TESO tar and feathering. Carry on. This is pretty entertaining.

    Well most PVP servers are like that anyways. But WoW is like that all the damned time. To be fair, almost every game is like this these days since reputation no longer matter. Bunch of anonymous douche bags with ADHD and no reason to be civil in the least.

    Well, now what?

    I'm pretty sure you'll see PS4 games rival top PCs in the graphics dept. Besides being optimized out the ass, they have direct access to the hardware. As I understand it, PC games waste a ton of power with poor code.
