Whoa, what a cluster.. Tip for the character name process (not family). If you push the button and nothing is happening then it seems to mean the name is taken. After trying different names it worked fine. Wasted a bunch of time figuring that out.

New mmo, bored. I don't regret my purchase. Mmo's, even the bad ones, usually occupy my time much more than any single player game so I generally feel they are worth the price. And BnS isn't bad. But except for the combat and decent art, it is fairly mediocre.

The gold seller spam on the OFFICIAL forums is hilarious. As much as I love the combat in this game, the lack of attention from NCSoft means I probably wont be playing past my premium expiration date. Edit: To be fair. They did delete these posts. But I still don't have much...

The kids don't even know what EQ is and the die hards are old... and will be dying off soon. There is still a market for EQ just like there is a market for any mmorpg. People still play them even if they don't innovate. But the name has very little value as a IP brand at this point, the...

2 faction PvP games never work in NA. We are born and bred to take advantage of the easiest path to the highest reward (which matches evolution btw). Eastern culture has a different approach (that works very well for them) and consequently makes 2 faction games possible because the players take...

It might be related to connection issues. I know my IP has been shit lately. Haven't bothered calling them because I'm moving in a couple of weeks. But it happened last again night at the very first tutorial where I had to build up focus, and then fire off the right button. No timing needed...

Yeah, this happens a lot in the tutorials, occasionally something gets buggered up. Played every class up to level 10 or so and it was very annoying at first. Easiest way to fix it is to run out of range and lose agro / let the mobs reset (don't leave the dungeon). Then it usually works first...

Love the ingame screenshot viewer. Being an altaholic makes me schizo in this game, so many combos.. I screenshot the combos in the tutorials and can pull them up anytime for whatever class I'm playing that session. Saves me a lot of google time. I realize the combos are fluid in this game...

Hopium is powerful juju. We all fall for it occasionally.

Won't be able to truly tell if it's P2W till it's been out a while. So far they seem very aware of how much the NA crowd hates that crap and are designing it accordingly. As for getting old, that's true of pretty much every mmo PvE or PvP, at least for me. I buy early because of the new game...

Yeah, I understand where you are coming from UT. But given a choice between risking my money or someone else's, I would always use the other guy's.

Pretty much how I feel. Grabbed the 99 preorder package. Buy to play made it an easy choice.

I have fond memories of this thread.

15 hours sounds good, and for my playtime that is a few days. Don't mind questing (or grinding mobs) if it's not the main focus. Still unsure about the endgame PvP. It sounds like Guild vs Guild stuff, which is fun if done correctly. Has anyone experienced it in this game? Or is it still just...

Wasn't going to play this game, but I wasn't going to do BnS either. On a whim, bought BnS for the headstart and am actually enjoying it, pleasant surprise. So after a little research it's my impression that you can't PvP in Black Desert until level 50, but it only takes a few days to get...

There are various polls around that all show BM as the most popular class. Admittedly they are not recent, so perhaps that isn't true anymore. On the bottom of those polls is always Destroyer and Summoner.

Still figuring this game out, low level etc. Curious why you think BM's are tier 3? Not playing one atm but they are by far the most popular class, which lead me to presume they are one of the better classes.

WoW is the best mmo of it's type - EQ clone initially and now it's own monster. But after playing EQ for so many years, WoW didnt' do anything for me, I couldn't stand another bear skin fetchit quest. Wish I had tried WoW much sooner, rather than sticking with EQ for so many years. I'm sure I...

Noticed late last night the waiting message has more info now. It said 824 premium members waiting of 828 total. So buying a premium membership doesn't help you much, for now. After head start is over it will be much more important.

/shrug It's not my favorite show but it was usually pretty funny to me back when it came out. Haven't seen any episodes the last few years, I just assumed it jumped the shark a while back because it's been on so long. Back on topic. This game actually was pretty good just before the expansion...

Appreciate the updates. Need to try this again. It's been a while.

A little harsh given that GW1 and GW2 are very successful. They have a lot of experience in the mmo arena. HoT needs a lot of work, but the basic zones and tech are fine. The rest is fluff and I assume they will fix it because they have in the past. "Interative development", the GW devs are...

This thread is getting weird. Hard to keep up with all the subplots. Is a game going to ship?

If you intend to WvW then pick one of the highest tier servers that are still open. Tier 1 servers are full atm, but I think a couple of the tier 2 servers are open. They will probably fill up after the expansion comes out. Lower tier servers are hit / miss in WvW and tend to have long...

Gold is fairly easy to get in this game. Easier than karma these days, although karma is pretty easy too. You can buy a complete set of exotics on the AH fairly cheap, especially if you stay away from zerker stats. Another thing to consider is the runes you put into your armor. Iirc, you...

Elidroth is loyal to the people he works with. I look for that when hiring, hard to find though. Also, in most ways it was just a name change. The issues that are going on with SoE / Daybreak were going on long before they changed ownership. Raggin on Elidroth is low class. The captain is...

Crap event in every way. Unusual since most GW (both games) events rock. They mailed this one in. Had more to say about it, but it's been said.

I haven't heard any of the stories. But imo the game failed for the simple reason that it was a 2 faction rvr game. That never works. People always gravitate to the winning side and without a 3rd faction to act as a check then one faction just hyper dominates by having most of the players...

Heroes were great. Even henchmen were fun, although they were pretty useless at times. Not a huge fan of GW2's dungeons. The lack of trinity makes them very strange to play imo. Haven't done a lot of them though, so perhaps those that do them a lot have a different view. In WvW the lack of...

One of the most important points of GW1 and GW2 is that the gear progression (grind) is trivial. Been there, done that, and don't want to it again. The focus is on gameplay. Once you get max level and get the basic equipment available then you can deal with all content. If they change that...

Before WoW, EQ had like 450,000 subs? Something like that. That number was just amazing in the biz, blew people away. People have forgotten how massive EQ was in the gaming industry back then. Of course WoW came out and changed the metric, but in its day EQ was king. They didn't call it...

As a single player game, Shadow of Mordor (or whatever it was called) set a new standard of immersion for me. The graphics and play were really a hoot for a while. But it got old and I didn't finish it. Need a lot of variety in games to keep me interested these days. I don't envy modern mmo...

Your definition of hardcore seems to be extreme grinding. That's not mine and I don't consider it a necessary part of any game. EQ had that but that isn't what I was referring to. EQ had many gameplay elements that created a sense of danger that doesn't exist anymore in most games. EvE has...

The gameplay was simple but the politics were not. And you obviously never experienced it. Stop using your admittedly very small experience with EQ to make broad generalizations. I'm not white knighting EQ, and don't want to have it redone exactly with just new graphics. But when I hear...

That's your opinion, and you are wrong. If everyone starts in the same zone, then what is the point? You might as well call it a LOBBY. Lobby games may be what you are looking for and they have their place, but you keep asking for the same crap that everyone is doing already. So much for...

EQ had high level mobs in low level zones and everything was killable. One of my first memories of EQ was some guild raiding Qeynos and killing everything in sight. They got jack for loot though. My quest mobs were gone for a half hour or so, but I couldn't care less. I rarely quested in EQ...

Smed and Brad... they remind me of Paul and Lennon. Good duo that couldn't live together.. capitalist pig and socialist swine.

Lol, the captain steers the ship. The direction and success (or failure), right or wrong, is his responsibility. Minions may do all the nuts and bolt work, but they will always be just hired hands doing the captain's bidding. Do you blame the failure of 38 Studios on the minions?
