GW2 is the game I always go back to after the new shiney gets old. GW1 was the same way. HoT was a disaster imo, but Blade and Soul and Black Desert were fun fillers. Now that the April patch has fixed a bunch of the WvW issues, I find myself back at GW2. I haven't checked out the HoT fixes yet...

Big patch today. The Spring Quarterly Update | GuildWars2.com

I don't have a problem with Star Citizen being here. Never look in the other area anyways and I am interested in how this turns out. One thing about Elite Dangerous though, as cool as a it's tech is, it's ultimately boring. Star Citizen could end up the same. A whole lot of money spent for...

Cool. Love my sorc, but blader was my original class choice. Been doing all the crafting, trading, worker stuff lately. Want to get that out of the way and just focus on leveling the blader when it shows up.

Still haven't pledged for this. When will it be released?

Truly wish I had the time to play like in old EQ days. I usually hate grinding but this game somehow keeps it somewhat enjoyable. Just don't have the time to keep up anymore. They say they are looking into ways to allow new players to catch up.

Heheh, necro quote. You stole my mutt's name! Guess it isn't unique. My other mutt's name is Freki and my horse is Sleipnir. But it's all part of a theme, it fits with my account name (not Odin).

970's are ok, but a graphically rich game like this is obviously going to tax it. A better vid card or sli would fix that pop issue. I didn't even know what you were talking about at first, never experienced it.

Aye thanks, it does take 24 hours if you delete a toon. Kind of a pain. But I meant the pre-order name reservation. They said those would be held for the Blader etc.

Rumor on some gaming site states the Blader / Plum for NA an EU is coming out in April. If true, then probably late April is my guess. The name I reserved is for the Blader. Hopefully it comes out soon.

My main toon was a human shadowknight out of Qeynos. Had an epic journey to get to Freeport when the toon was in his late teens. That was cool and have fond memories of that trek. But as for Freeport itself, I didn't have much emotional attachment. Took off for Kunark soon after. So when they...

lol, pretty much. Show me the nukes or don't bother.

Wooly, I like your posts generally but your problems with PRX really don't do anything for you or this board. I'm not a member of PRX, not here to defend them. But guild drama always ends up being petty and boring. Would rather not have to wade through it here. Especially since they will not...

As a sorc I find breath very handy because of dodges, etc. So I didn't use a horse for the first 20 levels or so to get breath (stamina) up above 20. Health is always useful, so I spend some silver to get 30 min or more food (cooking is cheaper I'm sure). But the percentage increase is not all...

This. Plus the grind. Also guild drama is back. Bunch of members in the guild I'm in up and quit last night. Not sure why, wasn't keeping up or in TS at the time. Just saw the aftermath and all the butthurt texts. Was pretty amusing and brought back the EQ nostalgia. Then I went back to...

Have one sitting around. I'll send you a pm.

Heheh yeah, I use to be convinced that EQ had special code for my rolls .... If (mytoon) then No Loot

I'll check it out. Funcom is a pretty creative company. They usually bring something cool and new to the mix. Somehow they usually end up messing up the overall package though. Even thought the launch was screwed up, AoC was a pretty good game for a while. Then they launched the expansion and...

Heheh. Probably for the best. This thread went back to it's normal snark level in record time.

Star Citizen could use a little of that.

Actually, I had a lot of fun doing that. Static camps have their place in mmos, especially when you know the other players and are cracking each other up. Action combat is fun and all, but it can get so involved that groups don't talk or interact except to announce combat mechanics. That gets...

All of the numbers on both sides are completely made up. Everyone who says theyknowif EQ Remade.. I mean Pantheon will be a hit or a failure is lying to themselves and everyone else. We won't know until it is released. And even then it won't be the style of game that matters as much as if it is...

Civilization makes the same game over and over with few changes. Still popular.

Didn't watch the stream but read many of the comments here and just that has me intrigued. Black Desert has many throwback game mechanics that remind me of EQ and I love it. There is a market for this kind of game, even if the new "twitter kids" don't get it.

Yeah. Wiz / ranger probably have a much easier time mass aoe'ing. On sorc it's not too bad but you still have to get the slow mobs grouped up enough to do the cone damage. Slows things down a bit and gives the Wiz gankers time to steal the mobs. On pure melee, I can see it being worse.

It's probably not a lie. I admit to being pulled in by the promise of being 50 in 15 hours. And since every recent mmo has been a crappy copy of the last theme park, that was a killer selling point. But this game has a way of sidetracking me to do stuff that I haven't enjoyed since EQ days...

The plus side of rerolling is that you can twink out your alt pretty well with gear from your high level toon. So the grind will go much quicker. But haven't tried it yet. Still like my sorc. Probably wait for blader / ninja before doing another toon.

If a leveling guide says to go there, check it out. But if it's crowded / camped then move to the same mobs but a ways away (outside of caves, etc). Which is usually much less crowded. There are a ton of mobs everywhere, the guides point to the lemming spot. You can usually find a good spot that...

It takes a bit of getting used to. But once your finger memory starts kicking in it's awesome (dude). I know playing a sorc was all kinds of rough for me at first. I usually play the slow methodical tank types. Now things just flow, and mobs die instantly. It's pretty cool. edit: I would...

Yeah, we were pissing about this in guild chat yesterday. Just great. Was ok with not buying the cash shop costumes since they didn't have meaningful stats and the in game gear looks good enough. Would probably buy one if it looked cool though. But I sure as hell don't want to be forced to pay...

Yep. HoT outright destroyed WvW, it's empty as a tomb and their "queues" are a lie. Jade Quarry has a queue to get into the main map in WvW but once in you realize there are only 5 other people in the whole map. And nobody every plays the new map. Fucking morons. The rest of HoT is pretty...

Cool. I had a feeling you might get it back, been there got fucked like that. At least NCSoft does right eventually, even though it takes them so long. What sucked as much as being banned wrongfully is all the idiots who assumed I was guilty just because NCSoft's over zealous ban bot...

Choose your skills wisely. Respecs are expensive, as in real dollars.

My sorc is still low level but she is not your typical mmo magic wielder. Lots of in your face attacks. Some range also, but you can't rely on it. I love it, but usually play warrior type classes. So the up close and personal stuff works for me.

NCSoft banned me in Guild Wars 2 right after the release. Took me two fucking weeks to get my account back. Man I was pissed. They have a very wide net, and it catches a lot of people who don't deserve it. Keep at them. They have to have a human being investigate the actual details and it...

The tears on the forums are pretty entertaining.

Edit UI in the menu usually fixes the other issues. Click on the eye button if you lose the mini-map etc. Just a fyi

Yeap.. was moving during CBT2. Missed the earlier betas, jumped on the bandwagon too late. Having a lot of fun exploring though, map and the weird game mechanics. Don't know how this is going to work in the long run but I sure do love how different his game is. Been a long time since a mmo felt...

Don't think it really matters that much. This game is just weird with the rules and such. They went out of their way to make the NA/EU release a non grief / first to endgame doesn't win game. Or at least they tried to. Players will figure out how to game the system pretty quickly. But for...

WvW was utterly destroyed by HoT and the idiocy of Mike O'Brien's love of metrics. What a f'ing tard. They have a major revamp of WvW coming, but it won't be out till summer / fall. And given their history, I don't hold out much hope for it. They haven't released any details. Other than...
