You mean once they remember they already introduced the major story arc?

My guess is he'll release too soon.

I'd donate, because whether success or failure it's gonna be worth it.

Guy at work asked if I'd seen there would be a new Elder Scrolls game that's going to be online. I asked what he thought of it all. He was excited by the prospect and made it sound like he'd buy it if it ran on his laptop or he could afford a new console by release. I explained some specifics...

Yeah. There's something to killing mobs for loot that doesn't need over-thunk and drown out by too many features or systems. And I don't think it's just nostalgia. Only parts of WoW vanilla I really remember were ignoring the next quest and farming names in areas that didn't have quests...

I didn't mind the grind in EQ because most of the time we were trying to get a drop. There were times we were just trying to grind out some AAs or hell levels, but most of the time we would have been where we were even if we weren't getting exp. It's one of the things that bores me about...

People who say graphics, art and style don't matter are full of shit. I personally want something more realistic than the anime inspired shit we keep getting. Not because it's bad, but because I just don't personally like the style and it feels too commonplace now. Give me some gritty realism...

Don't be racister... Black nets were covered:

Big-cock train, or big cock-train? There's a difference, and it's never too late for the latter! Grammars are cool.

Yes?

How forgettable is pvp going to be? Like GW2 forgettable where it's not really even fun to run around spamming shit like it doesn't matter, because it doesn't? Or Rift forgettable where it's fun when you're on the cutting edge of an overpowered build, or trick a few people a few times with an...

So persistent, non-instanced dungeons leads to contested spawns, which leads to contested raid content. Thoughts?

Shissar as a playable race or this game will suck. edit: or would they be Ssraeshzians..... we need an EQ lore expert so we don't offend anyone.

I agree, I also want collision detection and large races in cramped dungeons so I can block doors so people can get trained and I can grief my enemies in pvp until they lose levels from exp lose and then get their corpse camped until it rots and they lose all their items. That's the dangerous...

I also wish he manages to accomplish a bunch of really vague things that amount to meanings in my mind that build a grander vision due to my self-serving aggrandizing definitions of the vague things I allude to hoping he does. Man, if he can manage to do the things I can't express concretely...

Not if you speak English. Or if your definition of apathetic involves seeming to care so fucking much you're in a thread repeating over and over how you don't care at all! Which is like the first sign of someone who cares... at least that's what I've learned from children and women. If...

Trick question? He didn't...?

I had friends years ago who would donate plasma and feel like shit. I always avoided it based on their recommendation and the fact the clinic was nowhere near me. Moved to a new city where the clinic was close by and started donating. Never got sick or rundown unless I let myself get...

As soon as they have "a" version of the game ready, they'll launch it. Not a playable version ready. Not a polished version ready. Not a fun version ready. Just a version, which nobody can argue. They do have a version of the game ready! They're keeping promises, at least!

I was thinking... what if they made age a form of advancement. Like, you could get more status and riches the older your character got, but at the expense of perhaps some beauty or charm. You'd have to decide if you want to be an ugly old broad with connections and cunning, or a young lady...

Or jump-spinning to look around. :P Even when I played a wizard and was quad kiting I didn't trust EQ's shitty third-person. I'd always hit f9 too many times or run into a tree because I wasn't used to using directional arrows to control turning, only strafing from years of playing a rogue...

Maybe the disconnect really is just that you've been playing 2h so much it made the entire game so amazing compared to everyone else playing ranged. Yeah, that could be it. That's probably the only disconnect between Blackwulf and what everyone else has experienced. Hopefully playing ranged...

This is one of the problems with 3rd person view, though. Of course you like to zoom out. Then you don't have to actually look around, because you have your god-camera in the sky doing it for you. This is shit for pvp. This starts to affect world design, as things like the in-game...

Or people need to have higher standards so execs stop thinking it's good enough to put out half an effort, or in the case of Almost Human a confusing effort. The pilot set up story arcs that are now being completely forgotten. That's not good writing familiarizing the audience with the...

Every neckbeard and fatty in Walmart knows exactly how much a 2 liter of Mountain Dew is just by being told what they wanted was 2 liters. So I'm pretty sure we'd survive the change and I'm okay with letting measurements dictate perception and not the other way around. If the only way you can...

Yeah, what if that decent book you're reading finally gets great 200 pages in. Or that decent looking girlfriend ages well and is a hot grannie. I don't think it's about people not giving something a chance, it's about why wait for something to get better that isn't as good as it could be, or...

Show is quickly getting too self-contained for my tastes. All the world-building and characterization and scene setting is great, but good writers can do all these things while telling a 'main' story. Not to mention all these things are pretty fucked anyhow because of showing everything out of...

My biggest issue with Rift is that it had an identity crisis. The world could be challenging and interesting with Rifts and reasons to explore; undermined by endless quest-hubs leading you around by the balls. Dungeons could be engaging and fun; undermined by the fact it was so much easier to...

Is it possible that the magic of EQ really was in the [at times excessive] downtime?! It gave people a chance to talk and get to know one another, etc, dead horse. And honestly, the most exciting EQ combat ever got was when someone was afk, not paying attention, or in the middle of chatting...

Isn't this the exact opposite of what most people are complaining/reporting. That in reality it's not at all open-world like TES typically is where you just pick a direction and start adventuring. I swear I read one guy who said he tried this and there was level-inappropriate content every...

So have the companies trying to actively cater to a specific anti-WoW niche, if you think about it. It's a typical cycle. A genre/industry is born from creative visionaries who don't care enough about the ultimate product. The suits come in who care too much about the product, killing the...

Hopefully blowing up the prison will fix that pesky hole in the rear wall that nobody noticed!

Well, minus the TWO of three he killed off who at no point tried to stop his supposed plans, and one who was actively asking for his leadership? Two possibilities: Gov is just so fucking brilliant it doesn't come across as relatable human behavior.... or the writers are lazy fucks and realize...

Someone make a joke about taking an arrow to the knee. And screw you guys. Beastlord with claws was one of my favorite classes. Competing for contact space? If we're gonna go all 'making sense' and shit, how hard is it to fathom getting attacked by a bear and then suddenly there's some...

It's always bad to have characterization rely solely on ignorance or insanity, which is what they're doing. They got ONE episode of actual, human emotion and drama we could almost relate to on a fundamental level.... and fuck that, it's easier just to fall back to ignorance and insanity!

Is the opposite of not targeting a specific market trying to target every market? I would disagree. Time and again I've seen the success of products that are at least somewhat, if not mostly creative endeavors, succeed because they create a new market. The problem with targeting anything...

I guess I just forgot there was a 'this crowd' that was so easily definable and that 'this crowd' wanted to stand around in an EC tunnel /shouting for hours and dealing with a bunch of low-ballers until you finally find someone to buy and have to run around looking for them so you can get close...

You say the game will have to push forward from where EQ was, but at the same time support not designing an auction/trading system outside of people standing around EC tunnel all day spamming /shout?

And the other half are posts repeating the same point about Ut's repetitive posts. Your point? I've seen plenty of discussion on the game, though. It sounds like shit and nothing like an ES game. All they had to do was make Skyrim multi-player with ffa pvp enabled, since it was practically...

FOR THE HORDE!!!
