I'll reiterate: any AAA game that you release these days needs a component so someone can come home and fire the game up and begin having fun and enjoying their time. Whether that's solo grinding whatever (quests, events, mobs - anything) for xp which doesn't have to be as good as a group or...

If you can't do anything by yourself, what is a person supposed to do with the game when they log in at 3am, or don't know anyone playing the game, or no one they know is online? There's got to be some content that players find enjoyable that they can do at any given point. It doesn't have to be...

This is a very dumb statement. Why would you write something like this?

Depends on game design honestly. -If the game is server based and the content can be zerged down and everyone has a chance at rewards then the chance of it happening the majority of the time is slim. -If the game is server based and the content can either only be accessed by a finite number...

I would really like a game based on resource control, but resources that aren't tied to people who like to spend all day crafting. That requires a decent PVP game in my opinion. I couldn't play a game where resources were PVE targets (spawns for gear) where PVP wasn't a part of that. Darkness...

Fixed! Also, the only reason people are dooming and glooming EQN (outside the trolls) is that Sony doesn't exactly have the best track record over the last 10 years. Though they did get some hope of redemption with a pretty good release of PS2.

How do you not have enough IP after all those games? Played a 3rd Tryn game last night where I just turned beast mode. Unfortunately my CS was low because I had to share a top lane early game where I just went jungle Tryn after that to farm. Game wasn't even fair really because we had a Shen...

2 games tonight. First with Riven, fucking awful. I'm so bad at her. Second game with Tryn. I had more fun, but I sucked. But of course I'm playing against a good Teemo for my first game and it was shitty. Still managed to die enough and push lane to distract him once or twice. That's...

Hah. Yeah I know her basic moves, but my muscle memory isn't there, and the combos aren't perfect. That, and I didn't time her W/E AA Q AA Q AA Q routine down. Also my first game was against a Shen who stacked armor against me early and I didn't go for Brut first and went vamp instead which...

Holy shit, that is a long, well formatted post to tell someone they suck. Respect.

And it still looks like plastic!

Warplots are essentially guild housing, but not in the traditional sense of EQ2's guild housing.

Graphic styles are subjective so debating whether or not they are good or moronic is a stupid way to go. You can arguing if they're technically horrible like EQ2's were, but not style. Anyway, which has had a higher nerd-rage factor created by a single picture: A) EQN new art picture. B)...

I played two Riven games last night. Man I sucked. Fucking spider bitch.

The rage just from a piece of art work is amusing. What's going to happen when they show their first piece of loot and it has only strength on it but it has blue text?

A/K/A/ guild housing pvp

I don't think I've ever said anything different? The game is WOW++. The only thing they are doing different to the WOW model is the telegraph combat and the limited hotbar (which aren't new anyway). Essentially it's a modern Vanilla WOW with all the modern trappings that also include player...

Leak of the house builder UI.

It was a joke.

Eidal, post those Riven videos/guide that you linked me the other day in chat. Riven free week and I want to mess around with some glass cannon top laning.

I've lost every single ranked game I've played. I rage every night.

So I just played a 60 min game with Singed where had something stupid like 350 or something cs and my team failed to do anything but stand back and not do anything. My Garen in top lane pussy footed around and all he did was run away or engage at the very end of fights and die. Oh god and...

It's the Itzena non-wow troll post. No need to respond to him. It's nothing new, he's been doing it for years.

I wouldn't say they are dying, they just aren't concentrated in a single game anymore.

DDO was very different. I've played F2P Lotro and I didn't find it that horrible but maybe it is. DDO's cashshop was amazing.

Did I see a fat Lux in there?

LOTRO and DDO have been going pretty strong for years now, so you don't have to wait a few years. DDO is actually a really good game to play casually. I know the FOH crew had a lot of fun with it for a few months. It's getting a bit dated now, but they just had their first expansion. LOTRO is...

This only happens in shitty games. Turbine has done fantastically well with their cash shops long term.

If you are actually serious and have a serious group of people (i.e. not a random forum guild) I will give you guys private forums here if you want.

I was almost joking when I said that about MMR, I was playing with Eidal (Gold 3 I think) and my brother in law and we were matched up against a team that had all unranked and low games won (sub 100) except for one Silver IV while on my team was me (level 16) and all levels 30s, with 3x Unranked...

Oh they finally made some interesting necro builds? Anyone have a link to the burning/fear build? I always loved my necro, but I always felt meh with it.

Looks like Victor Cruz is locked up for 6 years at a really good deal for the Gmen. Thank god that shit is over.

Been thinking about getting Tryn lately, and look at that... he's on sale tomorrow.

My whole point was can an MMORPG fund itself only on vanity type cosmetic items if it's free to play? I have no idea. Would be great if it could since I would never have to spend any money.

Re:MMR I suspect that your KDA ratio might affect who you're matched up with. I was playing Singed this weekend and was proxy farming and trying for some wacky shit and having fun in normals. Grouped with some higher ranked people and it looks like a pulled a lot of them down even lower...

That may not work with an MMORPG, and I'll emphasize "may". Riot makes a ton of money off of champs and champ skins and so does TF2 with their own skins. But the two things that those games have in common is that they are match-based games. Play a game for an hour or two and leave, where nothing...

Race/class restrictions is a good one that TOR offers. Though that might a no-go for lore peeps.

The thing is about cash shops is that they can be really well done (DDO, LOTRO, GW2, RIFT) or they can be really shitty and detrimental to your game (TOR, EQ2 and many others). In my opinion the perfect cash shop is something like this: Assuming the basic game is free, the cash shop should...

What's a bard like in this game? If I end up playing at release, that is something I might shoot for. edit: Outside the obvious where it just buffs/debuffs shit with songs.

What advantage is it other than he got there with less time? How is your character level important? Why do you care that he leveled faster? What is he winning at? Levels? Yay?
