Like gogojira said a few posts up, this stuff will pick up and slow down over the next couple years. It's good that people give enough of a shit to talk about it. Wildstar and TESO are 3 months from release and those threads are seeing like 4 posts a day, if that. And as we all know, as goes...

If Wizardhawk posts in the next 24 hours I'll post a pic of RRSS on my GF's tits in payment.

Uhhhh no, I think ill post as much as I like, thanks.

Sorry, but if you haven't levelled a character in EQ to max in a decade you probably have no idea what you are talking about. As awesome as that little rant was.

Wait a second... Aren't you a big proponent of AAs in EQ? Or am I mistaken?

Nah man. 'Retard' is a term of endearment. Haven't you heard?

I'm getting old and have no idea what this means. Also: T-T-TRIPLE COMBO

Okay but....uhhhh... You are making pretty definitive statements regarding the use of horizontal progression for someone who has no experience regarding the matter... And it's showing. Just sayin'

...you are painfully stupid man... It's really really bad.

Anyone know the budget for Wildstar?

No... It's not the fucking socializing... It's the competition. You fucking know-nothing carebear.

Wait... I bet flattery is actually a skill in that game

Out of curiosity, which MMO have you played to end game with no levels?

He's just fucking tap-dancing all over the place because he has no clue wtf he's trying to say, because he has very little knowledge of critical information in this argument. Bad troll is bad.

Shaman sucks? Warrior was undesired? There is so much bad knowledge of EQ in this post and in your previous ones that it's pretty fucking clear you knew nothing about the game besides press auto attack and chat. Stop talking about a game you clearly know nothing about.

This is seriously kinda sad. I hope he's okay lol

Too busy chatting with super friends to learn basic game mechanics? Lmao

Wrong thread?

He's a moron. It's becoming more and more clear with each post. His responses pretty much consist of 'quit whining and go back to WoW'. No use really speaking to him. And Druids were just a poorly done class. I've always thought they should have had the melee slow debuff rather than shaman...

Sucks to be me? I didn't realize Druids were useless at the end game until I was already level 45 and had hundreds of hours invested in a character that I legitimately loved. It's irrelevant anyway. Brad won't be retarded enough to hold views like the one you just dribbled out your cock-hole...

I still needed gear man... You only make so much quadding raptors in TD or Wyverns in CS. not to mention, we're talking about avoiding instancing to foster immersion and community, and your solution is to just 'go solo' or 'roll a different class'? Glad to see you are thinking things...

Well, to be honest, the group issue arose more on my druid... I mentioned the cleric stuff to back up my healing ability. My cleric was insta grouped almost as soon as I logged in.

I really like your idea of conditions changing making the dungeon itself change. Maybe if the zone detects that there are a certain number of players in it, THE HIGH SHAMAN spawns and zonewide haste buffs all mobs... Or spawns a 'reserve' force to deal with us intruders. The possibilities for...

I made the Mage comment before I read the rest of your post... I had stopped reading after you so thoroughly misinterpreted what I said in your opening paragraph. Also, I was one of the top 10 clerics on my server for 5 years, at the bleeding edge of the raid scene for the whole time. I...

I love that response to issues with groups in uninstanced dungeons... 'Just play with friends!' I don't know about you, but even in real life I have like 2-5 people who I am close with at any given time. It is the same online. I'm not chatting it up with some cadre of bros on the regular...

Popsicle... Dude... You have the reading comprehension of a potato. Nowhere in that post did I mention zoneline camping. Also, I played a healer. Going afk for half an hour was not an option. I suppose you were a dps caster? Edit: nvm, rogue. Makes sense.

Did you ever play EQOA Draegan? Had a cool class progression system that culminated in a Master Class with a corresponding weapon (of which each race class combo had 4 possibilities). You made a small decision every 10 levels based on quest and achievement, giving you skills and a stat increase.

WoW has a lot of systems in place that contribute to the WoW style. Instancing is one of them, yes, but I certainly wouldn't limit that list to 3. -dual factions -centralized auction house -quest hub system -fast travel -'quick boots of the eagle' loot system -limited death penalty...

Tad instancing is not the only thing that makes WoW, WoW. Utilizing that technology doesn't make an MMO a WoW clone. Stop being absurd.

When it comes down to it, I'm not advocating full instanced dungeons. I much prefer the thought of dynamic dungeons like Convo suggested. I just think spawn camping is primitive, unimaginitive, and boring gameplay that has no place in 2014. Talk about 'immersion breaking'... Wtf is immersive...

Agreed. Each class should have a 'service' ability that they can sell to other players.

Ya, and its just a preference to like vanilla ice cream over pube flavoured ice cream. Ya, great, dynamic dungeons. Love the idea. Maybe bosses have multiple spawn locations with shared loot pools, and mob density changes based on zone population. That'd be awesome, and would negate the need...

Neither. It's a matter of not enjoying the sit/pull/camp style of dungeon 'crawl'. It's not a crawl at all. Do I prefer the social aspect of public dungeons? Of course. Do I recognize uninstanced dungeons allow for better loot flow into the world economy? Absolutely. Unfortunately, my 15th...

I'd love to know how many people advocating zero instance use have a level 60 toon on p99. I'm betting 0%.

His fat ass is gonna croak long before the series is finished. I'm way past giving a fuck.

But why can't dungeons be designed that way too? Why can't dungeons be designed like say... Guk... But the major encounters are all instanced? Ghoul lord and Arch Magus are in an instanced chamber that has a 30 minute lockout timer, but the rest of the dungeon with xp trash and mini bosses is...

Oh come on... You're telling me that after the initial break in, you enjoyed holding the Frenzy spawn for 4 hours? I doubt it. I'm sure the chance at loot was fun, and the odd interaction/tension with another group... But clearing the spawns every cycle was pure tedium. Not to mention, on my...

I don't understand how these two points are related to instancing at all. Please elaborate.

I seriously challenge the notion that the camp/pull days were 'fun'. I never found it fun sitting at the Velk's zoneline for 2+ hours waiting for a group. Nor did I find it fun feeling like once I did get a good group, that I couldn't leave for 3-4 hours because I may not get another decent...

*shrug* Ya those were pretty much the only arguments I could come up with for public dungeons, and I didn't find them all that compelling. I mean... You sacrifice a ton when you ditch instancing, including encounter design complexity and development time/money...
