    EQ Next: #1 Next gen MMO

    Although not surprised by what happened, I never played with the sound on anyways. The close combat noises were annoying af after a while.

    Wild West Online

    Something about a Wild West MMO screams that it wouldnt do well anyways. The creator and the creators "connections" are just icing on the cake.

    Pretty sure Vanguard was always ground level, if not below it.

    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...

    Black Desert

    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...

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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...

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

    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...

    it sounds counter productive, but I dont want it to be a "big thing". Id rather they stick to the niche they appear to be going after and cater to that shit. Even if Im not a neckbeard 14 year old kid anymore, I still love the design and concept.

    It amazes me that we can come up with some pretty solid ideas that dont fuck up itemization and give the player something to do in its place, yet designers struggle? We round tabled this shit in one page ffs.

    You could say that, but if I go back about two expansions in WoW - I can barely remember any of the equipment names. I can remember the bosses easy, but other than the look of the gear.. Ive forgotten all about it. I know for a fact that I kept some of those pieces through multiple content...

    It may be a rule, but its getting shit on left and right with a lot of MMO's lately. Its kind of nice to see that work has to be done to get something nice.

    Guild Wars 2

    I dont know. I feel like Im just kind of fumbling through the game right now. I originally never played it past 15 so Im clueless. Some random dude from Legacy of the Steel invited me to his guild, but Im clueless who they played in EQ. Im sure that once Im max level Ill get a better idea, but...

    Ashes of Creation

    Thats a pretty pointless article. People know that its a game in development and that their money could be at risk. The referral thing seems to be a big deal to people, but I think its a brilliant way of marketing and paying out very little of whats earned.

    Guild Wars 2

    I actually picked it back up recently. I never actually delved into it too deeply when it first launched. It probably didnt help that the first class I picked felt boring as hell. Started a Ranger this time and I havent put it down. Games just gorgeous and Im glad its not dead like I thought...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    If you take this movie at face value, its "okay". But if you connect any of the dots, the lore or anything that goes along with the overall story of the series.. this movie is just a big cluster fuck. Something that just kept bugging the shit out of me in the movie was the fact that they were...

    Hellboy (2019)

    Man, if they can capture the "feel" that the Hellboy movies gave then Im all game. The art and look of some of the stuff in those movies cheesed me out so bad. Then, out of no where, I feel sorry for a 40 foot tall plant dying. I wanted more than anything to see it go into a trilogy, but heres...

    Well, I guess you could exploit it? Im sure someone will find a way to do something they havent thought of? But they repeated several times that its for cosmetics only. The player as the monster gets a weighted score that is based on how many players he kills (guess?) and the defending players...

    I like the idea of playing a Naga, or a Centaur maybe. But Im not going to skip out on a game just because I cant play either of those. Although this game may be the spiritual successor to EQ Classic, its not the same game or lore. They can simply say... "A bustling city was created by a...

    I dont think anyone is in doubt that itll launch anymore. Asherons Call 2 launched and was as big a piece of shit as Vanguard was. Maybe bigger. The questions that remain can only be answered during launch and while playing the game. The game is doing pretty well with word of mouth and I hope...

    The thing is though, some of the racial penalties made sense to me. Frontal Stun Immunity on an Ogre was hugely advantageous. Troll Regen and Iksar Regen were powerful passive buffs. Slam was a skill that was worth having and using for some classes. The Wood Elf originally had the highest AC...

    You could rez the same corpse multiple times with two clerics or maybe that was the duel and rez bug. I cant quite remember the specifics. I just remember the time period based off us finishing an OS key for someone in the guild and boosting him up to 60 at the entrance of OS. Not cause we...

    Well considering what bug came up not too long after Kunark release, some of us know that certain people.... didnt level to 60 in the "traditional" sense. But sure, they could have still been in "old world".
