Yeah I watched the twitch PTS stream of it yesterday and was quite impressed, I'll definitely be giving it a go next year some time.

I'm blazing a trail

Same position here. There's a link to the alpha forum on the eqnlandmark website but if you click it it just brings up the page telling you to preorder a pack.. I guess it's probably not actually accessible yet.

WAR was good until you dinged 40. All the lower tiers PvP was great, even Tor Anroc! Being able to level with nonstop warzone queues was really great fun.

I don't play right now (and am on Nagafen anyway) but if it's just Q&A you're after then you can post here and I (or one of the other current/former EQ2 addicts) will answer. And while I'm posting in the EQ2 thread:EQ2Wire EQ2Wire Tears of Veeshan Interview: Turning the Corner on...

Vanguard had a really good base for PvP but it was ruined by some ridiculous imbalances & bugs which they could easily have fixed but either never did, or took many months to do so. Like bards invis song making enemies lose target of anyone in their group every pulse even if they could see...

A New Hope at the drive-in, Nov '77!

It is EQ2.

Last I saw SK/Pal/Mnk/Bru are all pretty high tier DPS in reckless stance.. Not sure about guard/zerk.

There are specific areas you can plant houses. It's fully non instanced, so there was a land rush early on to get the plots in the best locations. I enjoyed exploring some of the empty areas, it felt kind of like ghost towns where the population had fled to due a plague or war or whatever.

Logged in last night in Aussie prime time (so middle of the night in NA) on Nagafen which is a pretty dead server in general and the place was packed with new level 85s to fight... Pity the place will be a ghost town again in under a week.

nice, I think ill pick up a spare class even though im not playing eq2 right now

Best PvP - Terrifying lighties in lguk so much they never got to use the zone while I was online. Being an ENC (invis+invis vs undead) meant I could move through the dungeon solo, and then wipe groups with ease by mezzing or killing their healer at the wrong time.... 2nd Best PvP - Knowing a...

I've still got it on my PC. I like the game, so blow me.

If you're talking about that screenshot earlier it was a combination of hotbars from I'd say 4 different characters. Looks like illusionist at top left, maybe monk bottom left, brigand top right, wizard bottom right. Still a lot of buttons per class but it's not as bad as people make out. Some...

Just play blade/chaos, get some self healing passives from fist/blood and away you go. spam forking paths->clearing the path for AE, spam run rampant->four horseman for single target. win.

They have re-itemized the whole game a couple of times. This is why you can now find potency/crit bonus/crit chance on even low level items which you couldn't originally. The itemization hasn't gotten any better since Velious, they are still using the same formula of having every tier of gear...

Yes it's sounding pretty good, and the new xpac is sounding good as well. However as you probably know they have re-done itemization a number of times in the past and generally all they achieved was dumbing the whole thing down (but making it easier for them to mass produce gear). As usual...

EQ2 started copying aspects of wow well before being pounded into the ground. As an example they saw the transport system in wow and then added the griffin towers to antonica/commonlands very late into the EQ2 beta cycle. But I liked early EQ2. I liked the forced grouping. I found group xp...

If you have 1-2 friends to play with you can have a hell of a good time levelling through the seriously immense amount of content in the game.

Their promo stuff switched from saying 2013 to 2014 months ago.

The gear manager is indeed still fairly buggy (not worthless) and the addon does indeed still fix it!

I prefer firefox but I use chrome due to all of the data synching in my google account, so my phone, tablet, work PC, home PC all have the same bookmarks, cached form data etc.

hah they finally changed Fatal Flourish so it's not identical to Dark Potency any more. Not sure how great the new version is though.

World map seems to suggest that the whole world is just the 3 towns with ~4 areas surrounding each. It's pretty small really and you could run on foot from one side of the world to the other in like 20mins. I'm finding the game to be fun though and should be worth a month or two of...

Looking for a beta key if anyone has a spare!

That is very second life... Very sandbox. It's pretty great that this is possible. I guess there is heavy moderation over what you can upload into the game world for obvious reasons.

Are you daft? They are single player games, course there wasn't any PvP. TES is a series (and a setting) known for large scale conflicts between nations, factions and guilds. Having PvP the focus of the MMO is very within the spirit of the elder scrolls. Whether or not this is a good thing...

To be fair, tanks are in the best position to do a lot of the debuffing and interrupting anyway. I found that people who are obsessed with AR tend to get 1 shot by the first AE (because they don't dodge and have minimum HP) and blame the healer. I had a generally good experience with pugs...

"game starts at 50" and "innovation in this genre is dead" are not good quotes from an mmo producer.

GW2 had a lot of good side content such as the stuff you list, jumping puzzles, vistas, etc. Anyway GW2 thread is over <--- To the previous poster, if TSW puzzles and TSW players anger you so much then you're probably better off in another game and another thread. I'd say I cleanly solved...

I know they were around but they have done something to them. Like there are quest markers on the map now that suggest they offer lair based quests or something. Previously there was nothing and no indication of where a lair was. I don't know what the quests offer but if lairs are actually...

Isn't all of the lair stuff that was added group stuff? I haven't looked at it since launch and it was very unfinished back then. Spent ages farming mobs for pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and never got enough pieces to complete one.

What do you have against Alfred Hitchcock?!? Those interviewers sound bored.. like they would much rather be asking a different person different questions about a different game.

Ahh that's a shame. I remember we did try HF Nightmare and found the first boss to be excessively difficult and went back to farming Polaris, Darkness War and Hell Raised. The end boss of HF Elite though was really great fun. There were a lot of bugs in the instances but very few show...

What was wrong with Hell Fallen? The end guy was definitely bugged and didn't change phases properly but I don't remember any specific issues with any of the other ones. That bugged end guy was so much fun. The whole purple void phase thing where you run around avoiding the patterns on the...

Just picked this game up again. It still seems to have quite a good population, plenty of spam for groups and even still people playing in the newbie areas. Plenty of new skills and quest packs for me to do with my existing character. Some of the innovation that TSW made in this genre is really...

I thought SWTOR was going to be fun, and it was. Still is, I am this very minute queued for Warzones on my Scoundrel healer. I thought Warhammer was going to be fun and it was, until I hit endgame. It wasn't fun any more so I stopped playing, no problem! In fact I've had a good amount of...

The Secret World is in quite a few ways (but lacking in some areas) what you're looking for. I'm sad that a game that innovated as well as TSW did hasn't had the success it (IMO) deserves. It still suffers from the 'endgame' syndrome but not as badly as the mainstream MMOs. Most of the...

TES games have picked up and dropped guilds along the way. Like Morag Tong/Dark Brotherhood, and Fighters Guild/The Companions. So theycouldjust be replacing the Thieves Guild with something else, however if that was the case they almost certainly would have said so. So in summary, I agree with you.
