Doubt it. Your prime audience are going to be: 1) Nostalgia people 2) kids too young to have tried wow back in 2004/2005 3) people who are curious because they joined wow late Once the novelty wears off, you’ll see a big crash in population. Nothing cures nostalgia faster than suddenly...

He wasn't drinking as part of the game at that part. He was drinking because he knew that was the wrong question to ask and it wasn't going to end well.

Sounds like a creepy place. Most of the Essos shit is basically Lovecraftville.

Heh RIP that thought. With the way the show ended, they seemed to expect a 4th season or some way to continue the story. Sad to see it go and sad to see they couldn't give it an ending with more closure.

CoH is like 15 years old, your computer shouldn't be having issues if the client is the same unless you're running an ancient rig.

This is true. Dany has been pretty much 100% focused on one goal since season 1: Reclaim the Iron Throne. Tyrion made a good point: Girl walks into fire, gets free dragons and recruits all sorts of people, then you can't be surprised if she believes in destiny. I mean, all the dice rolled...

I read the spoilers part. Most of it sorta makes sense, except the last 2 spoilers.

Well I’m glad you like it still. I got sick of it after we broke into the elemental planes in PoP. Good luck finding a developer willing to spend millions to update the graphics / engine of a 20 year old MMO for a small, but dedicated, group.

I'm guessing the weakness to the scoprions will be angle of fire. In the preview they show Euron looking up, so I am guessing Dany invents dive bombing with the sun behind her to blind anti-aircraft gunfire. They don't look like they can aim straight up

Kind of random, but I read something a while back about stool transplants helping cure some of these types of diseases by virtue of giving the person a healthy microbiome. It's had success with Crohn's Disease and I think they also had hopes for Celiacs Disease.

You could view it as a power play. Cersei knows she has the upper hand. Dany just has 1 dragon now, her fleet got fucked, and most of her army was wrecked. The scorpions are pretty damned effective, so she doesn't seem concerned about the dragon. Plus if she wants to -really- cement her...

Pretty clear what happens at this point Dany has lost her entire core except Drogon and Grey Worm. She is going to be like "I've listened to you fucks and lost everything. I'm burning that mother fucker down". She isn't surviving this series and Jon is getting sat on the throne, where he...

4-5 people isn't a viable population for repopulating anyways. Shit would be more inbred than a Lannister family reunion.

It will be like Battlestar Galactica. All this has happened before, and all this will happen again, and again, and again...

That formula -WAS- replicated back in the day. People forget that pre-WoW, EQ1 was used as the model. FFXI? Hell levels, long voyages/travel times, virtually no soloing. Even shit like Camelot or AO or whatever. The Korean MMOs more or less ran with the same base design back then (and still...

Archeage is probably the closest we came to what Shadowbane tried to do, but unlike Shadowbane, it has a lot more content than "95% of our gameworld is empty fields".

Which makes sense, but it also dilutes how much input any one individual has. Which is fine, but you also want to balance that between the player's ego as well. So for example: Month one of MMO: Town of Derp is attacked by orcs. They are hiring mercs to help defend the town. You are part...

For me, one of the strong suits of FFXIV is the main story quest. Heck, even for SWTOR it was a selling point. When telling a story in a RPG, the best way to get player buy in is to make them part of the story. WoW started this long ago, but SWTOR and then FFXIV really took it to the next...

No, I'd prefer XP from quests. Removing that and rewards doesn't open up avenues of play, it just creates guided mob grinds and for the specific example you gave, there is actually 0 reason to do the quest since nothing (including mob spawns) seems to be tied to the quest itself, at which point...

It came out in one of the updates. They got some OP cloak and the the ability to summon the entire faction to their location, among other things.

It wouldn't have worked in the movie. Ignoring the various other changes that ruled that out (like Saruman dying), it would have fucked with the flow of the movie. ROTK was already clocking in at 3 hours. The only way to fit the shire in would have been to trim lots of other scenes, and even...

You guys clearly don't understand how this works. MK11 has microtranscations and skins to unlock, right? You release some female skins later on that show more skin, people buy them up. EZ money. Even Blizzard has done that. Learn2Capitalism guys lol

I just don't see that being fun except for whoever is the politician. There is no "greater good" in a MMO unless you're slaved to a guild that requires all members funnel resources to a central repository. Good luck getting that kind of commitment outside of a top tier guild / one with a...

The MMO landscape is littered with the corpses of devs that had lofty plans for shit like you described, but never materialized because a) couldn’t get it to work b) no budget c) it wasn’t fun. Plus you have player psychology, so everyone gravitates towards the “best” faction, creating the...

Keep in mind that was born from player requests. Quests in EQ1 were pretty garbage. Spam random keywords at random NPCs and hope you trigger something. Players found step 10 and no one ever found the prior steps. Then it eventually was catalogued online and you followed the steps discovered...

Ya that sucked. I used to use the bridge teleport glitch in the Karanas to save like 60 seconds of running lol

The show runners have mentioned the scouring of the Shire in interviews, so NK is dead. Cersei is coming to fuck up some hobbits.

PVP "Crush n' Conquer" games that can erase weeks or months of work are always going to be niche. Everyone wants to be the wolf, no one wants to be the sheep.

Considering the drug abuse in that city, that probably ends up being the same thing.

Ya, ring events were dogshit. One of the worst changes they made in Velious was when they made Vulak only spawn after a shitty ring event. Thankfully we were more or less done farming Vulak at that point, but it sucked for people who still wanted the odd off item or new recruits.

lol, I forgot about project NPC. That was horrible for noobs. I remember spawning as a fire beetle and I was circle strafing some poor level 1 outside Freeport.

Final line of the show will be "...and here I thought I would only taste giant's milk once!"

BuT tHe WoRlD fEeLs ToO sMaLl!!! Make the journey once? fine. A few times? fine. But by the 100th time, you just want to fucking AFK and literally do anything else except make that stupid trip again.

That wouldn't change much. FFXIV's recent Easter quest was pretty much a puzzle that players had to figure out with virtually no hints in the game. I'm reasonably certain 90% of players just googled the solution and finished it that way. All removing ingame roadmaps does is make players...

Honestly if their goal is to subvert expectations, then I expect Dany to die or not get the throne. Like others have echoed, the death of Jorah and the loss of most of her dothraki and unsullied are going to harden her. In her eyes, anyone who didn't help in the battle of the Night King is in...

In an interview they let slip she was 800 years old, which means she could have lived in Valryia and why she seemed so powerful. I have to think that she was tasked with the singular goal of defending against the dead. Once that task was over, she peaced out like a vampire that just wanted to...

Right, people can have opinions, but probably half the posts here have basically boiled down to “this is how I would written the scene/this is how it should have played out”
