    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I hope this game doesn't have pulling, it's the dumbest mechanic ever. It's a left over of an age where tech and programming were limited. Aggro ranges are stupid. If a bad guy can see you, he should be doing something about it. The only pulling mechanic that I think is valid is baiting a mob...

    Sure, but that's not a really amazing statement. A chimp should come to that conclusion right now.

    Why did Rift fail?

    If you're complaining about the quest content and treadmill aspect, you have a very valid point. But he just mentioned the auction house.

    Sewer gas leak in house. Can't find source. Day later, find out it's the toilet.. maybe. Check wax seal. Bad seal. Learn how to replace seal. Still leaks, but not has bad? Call plumber to look, no issues at all. Time to caulk the toilet to the floor with silicone. Time to find some junk...

    So my 8.5 month old daughter can now stand balanced on her own for 6-10 seconds before plopping down. Sometimes longer if she's not distracted. Can't crawl yet though. She's going to be running around the house in like a week.

    There are many ways to make instanced dungeons fun which part include 90% of the dungeon being public and open. Did you SWTOR? Did you not notice that there are certain rooms that had some green barrier to them that signified that you were all by yourself in your story mode? That shit was...

    SOE has everything to prove. EQN sounds like a very interesting game that I would be very interested in playing. I however don't believe anything they say until I see it in action myself.

    Why did Rift fail?

    You would quit a game because the Auction House was a copy of another game? That seems retarded.

    Why did Rift fail?

    PVP vs. Zone or Guild vs. Guild vs. Zone. Zone is the zone invasion/event system they had.

    80% of #3 and 20% of #1 is the best. Anytime anything is instanced (for the most part) ruins PVP, especially if that instance is population capped.

    Side note: If this game has Necromancers, please make a slot system for pets like SojournMUD (best necro class ever to be made). For those that aren't internet old like me, the Necromancer could summon Skeletons, Zombies, Wights, Ghouls and some other shit. As you leveled, your "pet cap number"...

    I was just joking with you dude, I took your point as if the person is CC'd for 20 minutes. There are infinite ways to do split group mechanics in a dungeon, and some could be fun.

    Absolutely, but Viktor isn't a melee bruiser/tank or an initiator. Because games are trending longer, I prefer the additional late game damage due to Viktor having one less item slot. The Q mobility is definitely nice for the laning phase to avoid ganks or chase down people mid game as people...

    Yeah I can't wait for a game where someone randomly has to sit at their PC and not play. "Oh fuck, I got captured. Hey guys, I'm afk for 30m."

    In short: absolutely. The caveat is how you design your game. If you make a game world, that is full of shit trash mobs that aggro on you even if you're 50 levels above them that also daze you, dismount you, slow you down then you are probably a shitty developer. If you're talking the context...

    I don't like the argument claiming the size of a team, and the money it costs. We have no idea what the costs are, or the time needed to make it right. Unless you've been a project manager for a software product, it's a useless metric to force on a debate. It's a good argument to have...

    What don't you understand? Player cast summons or portals require at least one person to travel the world. Some games force multiple people to activate a summons. Some games, in the past, made those spells very rare and difficult to acquire. In all three instances, the game world needs to be...

    You get into the problem that now the engine and your PC will have to draw and account for objects moving in the air above you. If you limit the amount of mobs above you, then you can easily just fly around them and then your idea doesn't solve the problem.

    There are a million different solutions to that issue. Quick travel options with portals, flight paths, or whatever you want to call it. You can create items that will bring you to a certain outpost that is a boss drop clickie. You can have mage spells that open gates to certain points...

    The genre is slowly expanding. If you want easier, friendly raids WOW is the game for you. If you want bigger raids with a single difficulty level, apparently Wildstar is trying to make a game for you. If you want difficult raids, single difficulty then Rift is probably for you if you want 10-20...

    Flying mounts are an awful idea, especially the way they are implemented in WOW since it invalidates all the content. In the context of a hardcore MMORPG, you need to enforce distance even if you have some fashion of quick travel in the game (limited stations vs. 6 travel paths per zone) or some...

    There's a reason, given the choice, people wont' use first person. It's stupid. People like seeing their character with all of it's awesome gear. Best bet is to limit the zoom out distance.

    THey also said they have a plan on nerfing them as time goes on. So when you have your second tier, your hardcore guild of 20 people may be able to complete them then? I have no idea how they plan on doing it.

    Well there is an introduction area that has about 15 minutes of gameplay, then there is a newbie zone that is the actual starter area. Saying a second tutorial zone is kind of a misnomer.

    My problem is that no one would give me 30M dollars in a kickstart so I can make my own game. Shame! Also y aerospace engineering degree didn't teach me how to code video games or engineer up a network. I should go to night school or something.
