What I mean by chess is that you are given a set of tools and you have to use your judgment on what tools to equip, when to use them and how to use them bearing in mind your resources and what the enemy is doing, rather than perfectly executed rotations 3,4,1,1,4,4,3 while jumping up and down...

Then why not just keep your yap shut all together?

Or you could do like me, married for 13 yrs, and do dick all for V day. Except laugh at all the noobs spending money on a shitty hallmark holiday.

When was the last time you cleaned that PC out? I was doing some cleaning a few weeks back and took my air compressor to the inside of my PC and I got -10C across the board on all cores and video card. Dust is a bitch.

Im sorry, we dont need to take rpgs and turn them into pseudo twitch based shooters. Fuck that. I want deep chess style gameplay, not how fast I can push button x or dolphin dive out of the way. Leave that shit in shooters.

Game design is not a dream job. Its shitty pay for shitty work.

I dont like long travel times... I dont like leveling... I dont like competing for content... I hate trash, and respawns.... I hate death penalties... I like to play for 20 min and get a doggy bone... And what are you left with? Instanced dungeon lobby game for +5 items....

Well PvP and PvE shoud really be 2 different games IMO. Its hard to please both camps in a single game. Inside of a PvP game, levels should be gone, and instead the "leveling game" should be all about acquiring more skills. Not to make them more powerful, but just a wider array of tools to chose...

Planetside 2. Ive been in some battles in that game that was way more than 200 people.

They were social because people had to rely on eachother and they were not instances. No one is asking for 20 min regen times, man. Youre missing the point. RPGs at their core are about the journey not some treadmill at the end. These games are becoming nothing more than a lobby game with...

Nahh, Ill take a huge world, long leveling curve, massive social dungeons, tons of "real quests" that span the entire world and levels and offer awesome rewards, think of the EQ epic quests... Shit like that. I dont want another gear tredmill at end game for +5 int in some shitty one hallway...

Then the industry and we lose then. Because no one wants another shitty wow clone.

Wha? Fuck yeah I blame the games. I bame wow most of all for focusing on this shitty treadmill grind bullshit that they call the end game. And then everyone else just copied, because you know, the 10 million subs and shit. You honestly blame the people when they specifically say "the REAL...

This should tell you something about the state of todays mmos. And FYI, I enjoyed not just EQ, but AO, and WoW until Wrath.

All of them. Just because you chose to play this way does not necessarily mean everyone does. I knew people in EQ, WoW, SWTOR, AO that didnt care about end game and never even had a max level character. They enjoyed the leveling and alts, twinking, etc.

Yeah we got fucking 3 in here in Livonia and they called of schools and shit, wtf is wrong people? 3" and call of schools? I remember slogging throug 6-8" when I was younger.

Your entire thinking process is "end game" and thats whats wrong with todays mmorpgs. If you make the leveling game compelling and fun and give people more shit to do other than collect 10 bear ass skins, who fucking cares how long it takes you to level? Games need to go away from "the real game...

SWTOR put 90% of their eggs in the "cool story bro" basket. This is why end game and PvP took a shit in that game. It has nothing to do with "the engne" its a bunch of arm chair devs on forums calling out the "hero engine" as some fault rather than shitty netcode and shitty optimization of that...

Yeah I remember that, also there was some healer on the evil side that was basically invulnerable unless like 5 people focused on him. Definite balance issues in that game as well.

The worst was back in like 2001, I forget, but this thing called the roto-virus was going around. I just got a new job that week and came down with it. Man, an entire week of shits and vomiting, it was truly grueling. The problem was that I could not take of work so it made it double worse...

Yeah, I think im gonna cancel too. I got my panda up to Lv88 and almost fell asleep last night playing. I have been running LFD along with questing but now the queue times are like 20+ minutes and honestly I cannot stand the boring ass questing. I was gonna do some PvP with this dude but reading...

Here is some of what he said...

There was definite rendering problems with SWTOR, one guy who worked there and was a lead artist spoke about the problems on another forum. They had to reduce the speed of all their mounts and such because of the rendering issues. Basically it took a couple of seconds to render shit around you...

Something to think about as well, is that grain in its natural form, which grew in the wild was not the grain of today. Same with corn or maize or probably rice as well. It was all spindly and did not have all but a small percentage of yield it does today. Just another thing humans have done...

I have a roughly 15'x 15' raised bed I constructed a few years back. Mostly grow tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. I save all my grass clippings and use those as weed prevention. What I do is spread it all around the plants when they are planted. Also in the fall I spread a layer of mulched up...

Did I hear "The Vision"?

Mark Jacobs? No thanks!

"I" before "E" except after "C"??

Do you have to move to Poland?

Just kidding with you bro!

Its gonna use the russian version.

They really didnt take long travel out of the games. Even in wow, you still have to travel around, no flying mounts in the current expansion, etc. Because its a quick fix to item inflation in the world, also, it lets loot be less rare. Its just a bandaid though and while it solves the problem...

Because then it would not be an MMORPGand im not sure how I feel about that. I like the journey, they just need to focus on the journey not the end so much. Slow it down and bring this shit back to focusing on 5-6 player groups rather than end game raid treadmills which Im sure everyone is tired of.

Cops, or better yet, postal people or fed-ex/UPS drivers.

Rifts greatest strength was the entire concept of the Rifts and the invasions. I thought that the entire idea added another layer to game play, especially leveling up, that other games did not have. Too bad it was mostly broken (the invasions) because I remember especially the low levels, 15-30...

Thats the biggest fucking problem with the mmorpg industry right now. Too much listening to fucking whiners complaining. And what do we get? All the cool shit/toys/skills/clickeys taken away. Which leads to bland and uneventful.

YAY! I know! Lets make another WoW clone! Maybe the 10th time is the charm!

There was definite risk, maybe not from losing your corpse, but just from getting the fucking thing back so you could continue playing. Especially when you were in the bowels of some less frequented dungeon. It definitely added a sense of danger.

My brother did in everfrost peaks. Granted it was a noob character like lv 12 or some shit, but he did lose it and all his stuff. We tried to find it for hours and just could not. BTW he was like 12 at the time and he balled his eyes out over that.

Yeah, the only reason I could see going through all that trouble to match up existing base molding or any trim is if you wanted to keep the historical theme of it or match all the other rooms, basically a restoration. But fuck all that.
