FF14 controls were sluggish and unresponsive, like there was latency between key presses an actions, which didn't really match what you expected, and I wasn't a fan of the animations, at all. WoW's control scheme (like one of the things they got absolutely right) is absolutely fluid and...

Played Ebon Pact. FF14 spoiled you for MMO graphics? trolololol. I couldn't play that game for more than a few days due to crap control scheme (similiar to ESO actually) but it's graphics were horrible. Neverwinter had better graphics than that shit. But again, i really hate FF anime style...

I have to admit this is the only site i've seen where people are bashing this game's graphics. I don't know if y'all just have shit computers or what, but i play every game in ultramax settings and ESO is definitely skyrim+ (unmodded of course). The animations and character models are ESish as...

why would pvp matter with an ES combat system? character movement/control/targetting is much like playing a console shooter with boxing gloves on.

Having not played WoW since 2006 I must admit I didn't know they implemented something like this. I posted a thread in 2004/2005 time frame predicting that this is where MMOs were headed. I'm kinda surprised it took this long.

The passage of time and events/character impact on the story/gameworld that is handled via instancing. this combined with NPC draw and placement being handled client side rather than server makes for a more interesting story telling experience than say, SW:TOR, which again, is the other major...

Game definitely needs lots of polish but for what it is, multiplayer Elder scrolls, it's quite good. some systems are quite interesting in how they are implemented. tons and tons of stuff is client side for one, and interesting in how they utilize instancing. There's parallel's here to...

I mean it was clear that it was going to be an MMO but they ran out of money so said "Ok it's a single player game now that should buy us some time and introduce our IP so we can find some magic money later and make an actual MMO" very skeptical that any actual MMO assets exist, other than...

I must of sunk atleast 60-70 hours into reckoning when I was stuck in the desert with nothing to do. It was about elves, or faeries or something, right? I'm sure it had a story but it was buried under about 10k generic MMO style fetch/kill/bear ass quests.

I enjoyed my 27th MMO (or whatever), Eve Online (2006-present), far more than my first, EQ (1999-2003).

Eve and Neverwinter

I still play regularly, on dragon server. Really hate PWE and cryptic and their ineptitude so been hoping for a game to come along with better core gameplay but sadly the rest of the MMO market is taking the piss atm. UI minigames, GCD rotations and DDR whackamole is sadly the norm in much of...

I have an order of magnitude more faith in this meeting their expectations than EQN meeting 1/100th of SOE's.

Sub numbers are practically meaningless nowadays with nearly every MMO being cash shop games. Whether sub (WoW, Eve Online, and soon TESO, any others left?) or "F2P" cash shop (practically everything else), some games are making profits hand over fist, some aren't and are laying off employees...

The tell bug has been on ptr since they first rolled out feywild for testing there. Also the nightmare mount basically old nightmare boxes if opened now are now 75% chance to drop the epic mount. Also been like that for a month on test server and they rolled it out to live. Just more lol...

Module 1 first major content patch comes out in typical cryptic fashion. Soul crushing server lag, lol coding sploit ie free nightmare mounts for everyone, massive nerfs to every class. Oh and also drow race becomes free for all, and as an added fuck you to the tards who paid 200 for founder...

Must of missed this, when did they say sb, or even mobs, would be in eqnl? Nevermind that that still has nothing to do with what i said. even if you could bring sb/mobs in you can't make your own mini-mmorpg, you could just make a mini eqn with different scenery.

Um no. Arm chair developer is class, combat system, skill tree, ui, and other game systems. Things pony tail and the other soe guys are doing and pretending you can influence with bull shit polls. This is arm chair artists on the cheap because art/design/world assets take the longest to create...

While it's cool that they've green lit the turning of that tech demo (Eve VR) into an actual game (Eve Valkyrie) it's not an MMO. It's a really cool looking Oculus Rift Dog fighter game, that takes place in the Eve Setting but not actually in Eve (not like Dust is in Eve).

I wonder how much money it cost SOE to buy the best of show awards, given that they've done literally nothing with this vaporware other than outsource middleware and write shit down on napkins.

Kerran was their Tauren equivalent from when the game was going to be a WoW Clone, that's why 10feet tall and omgshoulderpads. Obviously they're reusing all art assets/animations from earlier iterations of the game cus they have like nothing else done.

that's a pretty bad baseline as the new CTA skirmish allows anyone level 6 - 60 to group together. The mobs are scaled to your level, so you're dealing with % hits dmg done/taken. So a 60 GF is cleaving (base attack) for 10% of their hp and shows as 1,500-2,000 damage done while a level 15...

They deal with it the same way any competent developer does, do not trust the client. Other than EQ the only games i've heard of having client hacks is DCUO and Neverwinter, and both were due to retread dev's putting shit client side. I'm assuming SOE fixed DCUO? Cryptic fixed Neverwinter by...

Hacking was an issue in eq due to competition for open world raid targets. Its not an issue if pve is all instanced. Whether it will be an issue in Eqn or not depends on what they decide to do about instances.

Yeah they fixed GF aggro generation in addition to making dc astral shield no longer "stack" thus no more dual dc groups. Those were bad even back in beta but they were "safe" so bads ran them all the time. Now every class has a niche, a role they excel at that when combined with other...

yeah at least. There's really no need to add any other classes, the game is balanced around the 5 they have currently. With the exception of GWF which are a little underpowered (in PVE) requiring a lot of gear and player skill to really shine and be viable, the game is well balanced around the...

You wormhole guys are a totally different breed. In low sec It's hard enough for most of our guys to handle double titan bridging. "yeah dude, right click and bridge, ok?" "Now approach the other titan. what are you doing? why are you warping just approach the next pos and repeat..."...

This is basically nothing like how Eve is although it's not factually incorrect. I feel that most of the speculation on EQN is a lot like this paragraph. Someone explained it to somebody once and you use your own personal gaming background/bias and populate the facts having no first hand...

so yeah not reading the last 120 pages, anyone care to summarize? or can we just get a summary thread with shit that is actually known from people that were at SOE live/saw the panels/asked direct questions not covered in panels?

Historically sieges was an army surrounding and cutting off supply lines to a castle/walled city and starving out the population. If your thinking of shit like LOTR siege of Gondor style "siege" then those are won or lost in an hour or so as well.

what we seeiswhat exists. sign up for landmark beta so you can build the rest. the core game play which they didn't talk about but was seen in the combat videos is clearly action MMO with exaggerated attack animations, "stylized" art, and WoW shouldpads from previous iterations when the game...

ah yes black desert. While watching the twitch stream I couldn't help but keep thinking "ah you guys have been following Black Desert's development too?" every time that douche bag (tuttle? whoever the host was) said "...which we've never seen before in an MMO" or "which is totally innovative"...

not going to bother to read the previous 80 something pages since i realized the site came back up after the reveal. and fuck it not going to retype my thoughts, i'm just gonna cut and paste something I posted on another forum about this game: Of all the things they've been hyping about...

drow race has been in since beta, it just costs 200 bucks to play them. Module 1 is adding moon elf race too, like 60 bucks. ranger is supposed to be added sometime before xmas, but since they have no clue how to balance existing classes and have no plans for raid content, no idea why...

The rokh was a standard fleet bs for the last several years now. It's starting to fall out of favor with tiericide to battleships in Odyssey but it's still good, just other ships or atleast their roles are "new" and being explored. I'm not the one to ask about PVE in Eve Online so I won't...

eh they are not rare they are always there, but they are off the beaten path as in your little sparkly trail will not lead you to those area's where other quests are. it's really nbd, you missed quest content and had to run a foundry or skirmish to level up, no biggie, not really sure why we're...

Were you not invoking? You get a surprising amount of xp/ad in addition to coins/wards/pots/buffs/etc while leveling by simply invocating at camp fires. Assuming you were invoking (why would you not?) You missed quest content somewhere. While 90% of the game is bread crumb hand holding...

Theres an entire zone more quest xp in the game than whats required to hit 60 so not sure what you mean about dry spots. theres no need to do anything beyond questing to hit level cap. Though id recommend skirmishes as they are currently level locked meaning you cant go back and do them later...

Apple may be a large company but personal computing isn't the primary focus. Macs make up like 5-10% of the home computer (notice i can't even call them personal computers?) market and maybe 5% of those actually play games (via boot camp). Its like complaining that ford is a large company so...

Foundry drops are the same as open world content drops for your level range. that's gold/potions/enchants/green loot/etc. Foundries do not have skill kits though, b/c it's too easily abused, and that's your best source of crafting resources/enchants/etc. Foundries are a good place to farm...
