    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    What? They are making money because people love the game and play it regularly. There are plenty of people nostalgic for the game. Just not you or people here. I'm kind of nostalgic for the game because it's the last MMO I had time to play and raid on a regular basis in.

    I don't know about post-winter beta, but not every attack from a mob is a telegraph. That might of changed though.

    What do you mean? Rift made them and is currently making them money. You seem to be confused here. Does successful only equate to a game that you like?

    How are the people on OGN playing him and is he always in the ADC slot? Or are they doing something wacky like putting him mid? Is his build pattern something like Fawe listed?

    Everyone in my company paid the exact same amount for insurance depending on size of the plan. I.e. 2 kids, 1 kid, 1 spouse etc. That's how groups work.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    My opinion, after playing the game, you don't really "stare" at the ground during combat. It becomes naturally to avoid telegraphs. It's nothing like staring at your hotbar for cooldowns.

    There are a few things people can say about the telegraph system that I would consider a legitimate. 1) It makes the game "easy". From the outside looking in, it looks like the game is holding your hand. You can make that argument but I think that depends on the AI and the way the game plays...

    Two Factions: They launched with them because it was an industry norm. They got rid of them before the expansion or around the same time. Heroic Dungeons: Again it's an industry norm. A lot of people skip dungeons as they level. It's a way to reuse content and allow players to use the content...

    It always ran extremely smooth for me. It's one thing that was great about the game, the client was really well done. I never heard of anyone having significant issues with the game.

    In NJ, many of the laws in the ACA were already in effect. Over the last 8 years or so, I've seen my insurance costs for the small company I work for go up by 20-30% in a year preACA. This year we had to switch to BCBS and I think I pay 50-80$ a month for my family plan (no dental). Costs went...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    You could argue that EQ was incredibly easy, but just required a ton of patience and time. The EQ challenge was a death penalty combined with mobs that hit harder and were difficult to get alone with split pulls. Once MMOs get away from the leveling paradigm and stop using the quest-driven...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Combat has nothing to do with it, it's game/world design. Games like Wildstar having you moving through the map via quests. In EQ you just had a map, so you could have portions that were more difficult and surprise people. My issue with MMO world design is that each area/map/zone has a hardcoded...

    When I started playing MOBAs earlier in the year I tried DOTA2 and that point about having too many choices at champ select is true from my perspective. I was totally lost. There is something to be said about slowly building your champ/hero pool. That's just me though, I'm too casual these days...

    I don't equivocate champs with DLC, so I don't agree on that front at all. If I had to pay for the different maps and game modes then I would agree with you. To the argument about playing against new champs, I can't see this either. If you're worried about going against OP champs, you're...

    They've explained and/or fixed a lot of things people have complained about. From my list of complaints, they only thing I'm not satisfied with is the class system and development path. What hasn't been explained by Trion that you thought they haven't explained to you?

    I'm not a minecraft guy, so I'm probably the worst person to comment. From my perspective, this looks like it's adding an extra layer on to minecraft with the whole class system. Also, to play with other people in Minecraft, don't you need to know how to set up a server or find a group of people...

    I like the DDO model. Give me 50 mobs to fight where I'm killing them off in waves. That's fun. SWTOR did this for the first 5 levels before it got boring. This is an arcade like combat system. Movement, aiming, attacking, dodging etc. In GW2 alpha, mobs used to have half the hps they had at...

    Rift's dungeons were better than Blizzard at the time, especially their 10 man design team. Their 20 main raids had some really cool concepts but they sucked at tuning them, I mean who wants 10-15 minute fights where one mistake wipes you and you have to do 10 minutes of boring all over again...

    Their business model doesn't really turn me off. I don't mind spending what is equivalent to one Jack and Coke on a champ or two if they're on sale. Its a business, they have to make money and I really enjoy their product. It's a completely free game, so I don't really have a problem with it and...

    I get better teammates in the normals games I'm practicing champs in than I do in ranked. Last ranked game I had an 84 cs Vayne at 25 minutes. I haven't seen that since I was level 24. He was 1/8 or something fun like that too. Lulz.

    I see. To me, HSA are risky. You get one major disease and you're fucking done unless you have faith in whatever catastrophic insurance you have, if you have it. Also, what does it mean that a Dr won't have dick to do with Obamacare? It's all private insurance mandates.

    @tort That's what I was getting at. I think the new jungle might boost other champs close to the top tier list of junglers only because the changes might improve their early game a lot.
