I always liked the Italian Mafia approach to the business: men are fair game, but the wives and chil'n are off limits. @Merlin @gogjira I like Halloween celebrations (whatever the hell you want to call them) and Christmas celebrations(ditto), I got a little tired of every holiday everywhere...

Along with proof of ancient aliens

I'm going to agree that dislike of Salim might not be the reason Pantheon doesn't get funded, if it doesn't get funded. I'm going to disagree about the need for damage control. Mainly because if Salim starts doing his snarky little posts on the Visionary boards during development people are...

Dude you're just trolling at this point. You're making an assumption about VG based on a comment by Brad in an entirely different game and set of circumstances despite the fact that pretty much everyone on this board who has played the game when Silius was lead dev has stated he was an ass...

There's no boss that tells you to be an ass online to your customers, okay maybe Kotick, but he's the exception. The bottomline is Silius is hated as much, if not more than SOE, by a large number of ex-VG players. You don't get to that status easily. /aside Visionary Realms needs to do...

Yes, see a few pages back. Hopefully he just sticks to crafting this time.

Silius that you? You are right, it certainly is player entitlement to expect the game you bought and played for a year and half or more to remain roughly the same instead of completly changing in the wrong direction despite the overwhelming opposition of the player base. Fuck me for wanting to...

Remember that Silius was Lead Dev and basically had carte blanche on what happened to VG post Sigil sale: The worst stuff came down in 2009 about a year after I quit so you'll have to track down some of the guilds and guild leaders who quit at that point because of him - as I understand that...

I'm very interested in the Q4 sub numbers for WoW. They've been losing 600k-1m subs a quarter for the past few quarters.

Okay. Point, Set and maybe Match to gogojira.

Gogojira thinks so and he's may be right based on the Domain Registration and the fact there's some article somewhere that says Silius is no longer with SOE (though I pointed out Salim's linkedin still says SOE for what little that's worth).

Mercury is linked to lower IQ and Tuna have pretty high concentrations. Sorry to hear that dude. Best of luck at the hospice when you're older.

So you're a troll AND stupid. Nice.

Abe F is a moron, true, but dude, I don't get this either. Why? Though I guess I'm the Kettle in this situation since I have bitched about Smedley for years but did go to SOE Live last year (to my regret).

You don't seem to be taking your own advice jooka. What's that about?

Well 1. It's a kickstarter, so they have to make something people are going to fund. Right? So it certainly helps them get an idea what the biggest MMO whiners on the net (this site) are thinking. 2. Additionally, the backlash to the likely fact that Salim Grant is in the team means that...

But if I had, you wouldn't have the opportunity to reply in such a smug, snarky way. I couldn't deprive you of that. You're welcome

This. This thread is awesome.

Not much else to chat about buddy. No kickstarter as yet, and beats bitching about other people's posts.

Can't speak for Dumar but everything I liked about WoW was pretty much gone a year after release (original AV anyone?) whereas the things I didn't like never changed (running UBRS 30x for a slim chance at the Alchemy drop). I gather raiding got better after MC, but I wasn't interested enough...

I don't know if it's immersion but you do want some kind of logic in your game so I'm okay with not every mob running after you for forever, certainly undead shouldn't want to run into open sunlight if you were dungeon delving and opened up the wrong crypt. Makes the Day/Night cycle matter...

You can already fail at FD in VG, and often. No need to nerf an already nerfed and mostly superseded (at the raid level) ability. Given EQ & VG, seems pretty likely that Monks, Necromancers and SK (though perhaps with slightly altered names) will show up at release, or as a stretch goal, or in...

Yeah VG warriors are pretty screwed.

LoL and MTG are relatively easy to perfectly imbalance compared to a standard diku mmo because they are dealing with limited abilities per avatar/card and they both still screw up. Thus my RPS comment. The only balance possible is RPS. That you make some classes better as compared to other...

Who is asking to go back to those bad old days? Asking Devs to set up a couple of camping areas in leveling/endgame dungeons and or a couple of encounters as part of a raid zone that are best dealt with by pulling (by monks, bards, or whatever) is not asking for bringing back the bad old days.

Failure to mention RPS in that video is fail. -_-

I agree with this and zzeris' post just below yours - that yes all classes should be able to contribute something to the raid, the group and the environment (and of course there is solo play as well): but I don't know if that's possible. Maybe we have to take Meatloaf's advice that Two out of...

Lol. Yeah, I must be getting old. I have zero interest in playing a game via the Rift. But more power to you and everyone who does.

Every MMO needs to plan for that future when there are two few newbies in the 3-4 start zones and they need a Mines of Gloomingdeep to bring everyone together. I was never bothered by VG's Isle of Dawn having better loot than the original starting areas - it served the same purpose you're...

Balance is the shibboleth of MMO developers. Did it ever work? And did it ever make an MMO more fun after the Developers picked up the nerfbats? People need to accept that classes can't be balanced and just pick one they find fun to play. What developers can do is give classes "something"...

You're forgetting the necessity of 8 1/2 pound headphones to go along with your Rift.

I'm going to guess that playing a game with ten pounds of shit on your head is not going to be as fun as it seems, especially the third time you hit your head against the cabinet. Also, I don't think the Rift has Picture-in-Picture so how are you going to watch Superbowl XLXI while playing...

I come back from my cheerios and grapefruit this morning to find out chivalry is not dead on rerolled! Awesome, I sure hope Quaid gave you her favor for the jousting tournament tomorrow. Good 'On Sir Zzeris. Zounds!

No - that just subjects the monk to a mean RNG which is never good. As I said, better to think of it as Jedi Mind Tricks (or Psychic Neuralizer) than Human Opposum. You can keep using the JMT/Neuralizer and they'll keep forgetting you're there. Though I'm fine with a class of mobs (undead...

Quaid is just trolling this thread at this point. Why? Well apparently he got his panties into a bunch because in NTOV his shitty guild with shitty pullers made him wait 20 minutes so his beer went stale or maybe they made him spill his beer when they shouted "incoming" in chat - not clear on...

Meh I'd rather see Druid ravenform, or Rogues with a Safe Climb ability (watching Prince of Persia the movie right now) or punk Red Pandad race. Save the flashy stuff for later. As an aside - it does seem if the kickstarter doesn't hit its stretch goals you could do exactly what someone...

Well if VRI raises 36 million like Star Citizen everything's on the table. I just don't see it happening, their fans are crazy. Edit. Also lol @popsicle, fine form tonight sir, fine form. I take it you've finished your first fifth already

Yeah I'm not a fan of the "be all you can be mentality" of Rift (and apparently current WoW). People on this thread have an identity with their EQ (and VG) classes that they didn't have with WoW. I played a WoW priest for about a year - latter half as a shadowpriest. For all intents and...
