    Camelot Unchained

    To this day, Im still in disbelief that people can get GM of a games development with little to no experience. Its one thing to keep hiring people that have a bad track record on projects like Smedley, but is it that hard to find someone thats at least developed an outstanding single player...

    Black Desert

    You can get a free pet every 180 days or something crazy? But for the most part, they are Cash shop only - yes. I just rolled with three birds and settled at that. The pets get even worse when you're trying to level up their tier. You have to basically play russian roulette with pets and its...

    Guild Wars 2

    Revenant is fun but isnt desired in most content. Your power roles are still devoted to classes like the Elementalist. Guardians arent "woo" crazy, but most people would rather have a warrior (from my experience). I had a lot of fun playing the game like a single player game and doing some...

    The daily diamond packages keep me happy and thats all Ive ever spent on the game. If anything, the only champions that hands down help me (From Mercenary use) is Fairy. Someone in my guild has a max star, max level, gold tier fairy and there was literally nothing that would defeat me except...

    Maybe Im just use to Booze, but how does anything he say even rustle anyones jimmies? So what if he disagrees with you. Why does it matter so much that you need to change his mind? Everquest mystery, to me, wasnt about mobs and what shit they dropped. It was about that pot in the corner that...

    I wasnt referring to AI, though mobs dont have to be dumb as shit to recreate the "experience" that you're talking about either. I was throwing a blanket over the system as a whole. Take for example, the play test they did with that one streamer as the monk puller. They went into some heavy...

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

    What has really caught my attention is that through the play tests and similar, Ive noticed mobs seem very basic. At their core, its just +damage, +HP, +aggro linking behavior. Yet he has the audacity to bring up Dark Souls in his wall of text. Or better yet, how the "E" in "PVE" is going to...

    Social Advertising start up

    Ive put some thought into how much traffic is generated at a POS thats derived from my service. But I dont see how it would be easy to track at some businesses. Run a 4th of July ad for a business when theyre already suppose to be busy, and how do you separate who is there from the ad and who...

    Movies You Can't Remember

    Man, it looks so different now. Thats definitely the movie, but not seeing it it in over 20 years isnt helping. Sort of how I loved the Neverending Story when I was 5 but cant stand that movie now, I guess. Open Graves looks like a good time waster though.

    Social Advertising start up

    Ive been thinking about creating an advertising company. Before I became a Finance Manager for an Auto Dealer, I sold cars. I used Facebook and Instagram to advertise a single vehicle for me. The success of the ad depended on the typical factors. I typically had success in this and learned a...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    I thought the shield armor was game breaking. Im glad to see it punked in the hard mode. Squaring off against a T-Rex just felt imbalanced af. You knew at that point you were done with the game.

    John Smedley hired by Amazon to produce MMOs

    Because the game was so poorly optimized and ran like such utter shit that you had to throw it against a MAC truck just to see the game run "semi" smoothly. Memory leaks were rampant across the game. Even after emptying the memory (which is already a red flag to have a widely known mem dump...

    Movies You Can't Remember

    I really vaguely remember some kids movie where they are at a mining crater? hole? and its filled with water. Deep down a monster comes up to the top when it rains. Turns out its a Track hoe arm or some piece of drilling machinery. What was the name of that?

    Devil's Double. Its based off Uday Hussein's story. I was really surprised at how intriguing the movie was. I thought it was going to be some Iraqi shit, but its pretty hollywood. Delightfully surprised.

    That only makes me curious how much development in games actually comes down to not only skill, but just the free labor from devs games get just because the actual creators have a deep love for the project theyre working on? Looking at Mods for games like Skyrim and Fallout - how many copies of...

    Dark Souls 3

    Ive seen that. I guess Im referring to Poise, maybe? Not sure. I ran into a small wall with the Abyssal Watchers without the shield and fell in love with it as soon as I used it there. My block just stopped him in his tracks and made the fight end in about 20 seconds. I went down a little...

    Dark Souls 3

    I knew the weight ratio was messing up my roll, but I didnt know it was also connected to stamina regeneration. Should have been a "duh" moment for me, I guess. 11 Points of Vitality more isnt too bad though. (The Shield I can probably switch out, but I hate not having the benefits of it.)

    Dark Souls 3

    Irithyll of Boreal Valley is murdering me. Everything up until now has been a relative cake walk. Ive been frozen at this guy for a couple hours now. Im fully equipped with Cathedreal Armor, and a Curse Ward Greatshield: 76% weight. Most stats in str/hitpoints/endurance/weight. Do I need to...

    Hyper Heroes

    I decided to make a thread about this game, because I feel like people should at least give it a try. A revamped system that is redoing guild wars and its problem child with Co-Op mode is coming out this month. Marking an excellent time to start. During the leveling process, the pay 2 win...

    Dark Souls 3

    I started playing this yesterday, myself. Also new to the DS series and it was gifted to me by a friend so its on my PS4. A lot of the stuff was explained in the early area by the red marks on the ground. Some of which I could see being missed easily. Things like locking onto targets, parrying...

    The music was fine. Well done, quality work. But having the load screen come on at full blast regardless of what volume I put music volume to (which wasnt fixed until after I quit in Luclin), the goblin death noise, the kobold attack noise, the grolvarg attack noise, the sound of me getting...

    John Smedley hired by Amazon to produce MMOs

    If anything, I see this as just a way for Amazon to bring in a dried up veteran with mild success to train a new team and mentor his successor. You dont have to pay him as much as some of the rock star devs would ask, and can shit can him easily. Like him, hate him, praise his success or...

    Find your carrot in other parts of the game and the leveling will come second nature. There were a couple points when i felt the grind was rough, but it didnt start to get absurd until I was 56. Now they've decreased the exp needed across levels up to 56 (iirc) and only past that point does the...

    I dont think they'll openly come out and say anything thats going to cause conflict before the game has even launched. If they want to go the GW2 style of module purchases, Im all in though.

    Its not that anyone here is "for" a cash shop, we're just realistic about a game having one. Its extra income that is stupid for a developer to miss out on. Handling it properly is all you can really wish for.

    Ive just always assumed that the cash shop had a different team altogether. A business within a business. Anything thats green lighted has to pass by the lead design, but its not affecting the man power in content creation. Or at least, thats how I would set it up when thinking about it like...

    You can have a cash shop and it not "ruin" the game. If we step outside of the MMO genre for a minute - Warframe had a great cash shop and it was its only source of income. You could get shit quicker, but 90% of the stuff on the cash shop was free. The only items that werent able to be...

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

    I personally like how Guild Wars 2 handles things. You pay for the game, then content updates while they are current, then expansions when they release. So if you started fresh, it was $50, season one 3-4 months later, season two in 3-4 months, season three in 3-4 month, expansion in place of...
