    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If you're going to Switzerland to have a fun vacation and see your ex as part of that it sounds fun. If you're going to be BFF with your ex then don't. If you're going to go be a home wrecker then don't.

    That's my perception too. And I'll reiterate that throwing some network code onto skyrim to turn it into a coop game or a small MMO game with non-persistent worlds and ~100 active people at a time would be awesome.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I have no idea what the typical console gamer wants in an online TES experience and won't venture to guess whether nameplates will be well received or not. However the core principle of why nameplates are useful is because it inherently allows you to know who is who. I imagine for console gamers...

    Hey the R30s say they are still a thing: http://community.crowfall.com/index....endly-killers/ No idea if they're serious still. One thing is for sure though, I'm glad this won't have separate NA servers. I'd prefer if they just went full global so I could hang out with my European...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    +1 for being unhappy that the Iron Islands are getting skipped. I thought all the stuff with Victarion, Euron and Aeron was the best parts of those books. Plus Asha is hot in ways I'm not comfortable with.

    Oh and this game is very similar from a design/art perspective as Albion Online. I was pretty hyped for Albion before I tried it, but after trying it I don't think they'll be able to deliver a fun game no matter how much hardcore PVP elements are in it.

    Virtual Reality

    I'm not making the claim that Ars Technica is in the bag for Microsoft. I'm making the claim that it's a hype piece written to generate as many hits as possible by lauding a new technology that few people (all press from what I can tell and none with VR/AR credentials?) have tried.

    I reject the assertion that it matters. Hiding behind placating a fanbase that has never played MMOs is as incompetent a thought as any reason they claim led to disabling nameplates. Utnayan is making unsubstantiated claims that Sage did it purely because it looked like WoW. You're following...

    agree 100%. The legit PVP community is so fucking starved for a good MMO you're seeing us bust a nut over a few promises and a screenshot that doesn't really say much besides they have a game engine (Do we know what engine they're using?). Shit looks like vanilla WoW which is fine by me...

    But back to the nameplate argument, saying, "Sage wanted to cater to part of the community" is basically the same as "Sage thought no nameplates was the right choice.". The reasons why don't ultimately matter because he has to make the choice for what's best for the game and he chose no...

    I don't remember whether you were active in the skyrim thread, but the non-retarded parts of community as a whole were like, "Uhh, yeah that's Gamebryo, I can feel it in my BONES" when we started getting more info and video about the game. Of course it looked like and ended up being the greatest...

    When you hear shit like, You kind of have to take it on faith that the rumor is true and base it on the reputation of the speaker. In this case Utnayan will hang on and believe every negative whisper he can find about developer shops he doesn't like. Often all it takes for him to say something...

    Yeah, they took the hero engine and started adapting it to ESO. At some point they crossed some threshold of changing it they could publicly say, "This isn't the hero engine anymore". And now they could use that half-truth to respond to claims of "Oh the animations in ESO are broken like they...

    Yes sorry, it was a typo. good catch. as for nameplates causing rendering delay, a modern graphics card can render text and 2d UI elements very fast. Even if one of their programmers poorly implemented nameplates in some build and it hosed up the rendering pipeline using nameplate's demand...

    He didn't give an answer to that. My guess is yes he wanted nameplates and got shut down in that debate along with many others that affected PvP. From what I could tell he had a limited set of stuff he could control and game decisions that weren't entirely limited to Cyrodiil were largely...

    They're definitely saying, "Hey let's make a game for the R30s, LotD, LoD, UDL, Elite, SYN, Redguard, SiN, FoE and PRXs of the MMO gaming community!". But until I see a competent game being successful in beta I just don't care that much.

    I think if they make it so the campaign is over at some critical point it'll help a lot of the prolonged dead campaigns. Just make it so it's not something that can be alarm clocked (though that would favor PRX generally). The other big thing that WvW didn't have from a hardcore pvp guild...

    The more tracking of accomplishments for players and guilds the better, and often it's just a matter of presenting information already stored in the game's database.

    Don't forget the people like me, who see games on the horizon, generally ignore them, then when they come out they play them for months. The initial design sounds great and it sounds like they're focused on combining the best parts of GW2 and Shadowbane. There's a few key problems...

    I think instanced 5v5 or 10v10 would be better than Cyrodiil. The zerg vs zerg and siege gameplay is only fun if you ultimately care about the result from a war-level perspective.

    Jumping into an entire raid of 40 enemies with bat-swam gear and just stalemating them until the rest of your force gets there is a strategic decision! And no portabella has ever tasted like a decent steak. Total myth!

    ESO is like a poorly run vegan sandwich shop operating in a rodeo. Even if they fix the numerous issues with their avocado club and whipped peanut butter & honey wrap, they're still giving vegan food to people who want steak. That sentence took an extraordinarily long time because I...

    They didn't tell us to piss off. They had 'ok' answers for most of our specific moderate complaints, half-answers for our major complaints and 'sorry that's not where we're going' for our fundamental complaints. Bottom line is that meaningful PVP is built on fighting someone or a group you...

    In all honesty I don't remember what your specific complaints or compliments were toward ESO's pvp. I just know that when you don't know a component of ESO you make up positive bullshit. All that stuff sounds good. Doesn't change the fundamental problems of the game though. The core of...

    Albion Online

    That's what I thought when I saw how hard they were pushing the multiple device bit. Each device has some advantages. Making the game playable on a tablet is one thing, but if they make it so you're competitive on a tablet you have to cripple the gameplay.

    One of the fundamental problems with ESO's pvp is that the 'serious PVPers', or the people who PVP 6+ hours a night, are generally focused on accruing points to get to the higher ranks. This is sort of deviant because often the best way to complete objectives does not reward a lot of points...
