    It depends on the game though. Some games have terrible cashshops and some have very good ones.

    Adjust to cash shop? Personally I've played both f2p and b2p exactly the same as sub games.

    Anyone that is power leveling in this game to race to the end is already going to purchase anything that helps them get there. They already do this in any game with real life shit from foods and drinks etc. Plus in a game that is free to play and you don't need to buy a box, I don't see the big...

    That's up to personal taste though. So if someone does want to speed level, why do you care if they do? The only way I can see you care is that you aren't the first person to do these things. If you want to be first then I guess you can toss down some cash.

    Depends on the game, but I see this only an issue in a game like EVE or some other skill advancement type of game where xp is used to level skills. In any case, a new game will most likely not have xp potions at release unless the whole world is an instanced PVE arena like GW2.

    Wow. Ok. Can you please explain how your analogy translates between MMORPG characters and athletes? Who are the other teams? What are you competing over? How does gaining levels faster hurt your gameplay. What is the advantage?

    For you nutty people who think xp boosters are paying to win, how are the people leveling faster than you beating you and winning? What is the goal line they are beating you at? If you're all about leveling and watching the journey, how is leveling faster beating you? edit: The only way this...

    This game still has about 10 hours of intro screens before I can even play the game. Why?

    I usually see a champ played really well and then I start looking into him/her a bit more before I buy. I'm in the same boat. I started off playing support with my bro but then moved on to mid. However I really disliked the squishiness, especially without masteries/runes so I went with top lane...

    Even if you slow down the pace of combat, soft targeting offers a more strategic way of playing the game. It offers increased difficulty when it comes to positioning which I think is fun. It also appears that Tad wants zero customization of player characters outside of gear? Am I right with...

    It's a combination of both. You have a natural progression and power gain as a character levels (autoattack gets better) while also augmenting it with gear and wep procs. I gives players something to play for. Getting level 20 so their warrior now has a chance to attack twice. Getting to level...

    Well the first time I played, I made it to the point where you leave the first town, I did one fate and logged out. That was the extent of my experience. If P4 is no-wipe status, I probably should check it out to see if I should bother playing some more before I buy it.

    The traditional wizard becomes support via CC/buffs/debuffs and it's DPS part is secondary. It could work if you balance it properly. Everyone DPSs but you are used in group for your other abilities. That would most likely mean less spam abilities I think. For example here's what I think...

    I'm completely aware of the first part of your response, and was looking primarily for how you would start top lane. For example, I've seen wingsofdeathx start with dorans blade, push lane, and B for pots and wards. I've seen people start pots and wards, then first B go Brut and boots then...

    That really depends on design. In rift's system that is easily the case because players can do complete role shifts with a press of a button and are expected to have 5-6 different builds saved up. More often than not you don't need an extra set of gear, unless you're doing more difficult...

    Wildstar doesn't worry me with content density and availability. What worries me about the game is another game where I spend 100 hours on the quest treadmill to end game where I end up with either dungeon or raid grinding. I can dismiss the boredom of a quest hub game if the classes are fun...

    Anyone ever top lane with Nocturne? I was watching a few Wingsofdeath streams and he was using him top and doing really well with him. Obviously the guy is good and could probably make any champ work well but Noc was on sale so I tried it out last night. Of course my game last night was...

    You'll either install it after 20 minutes, or you'll end up playing for 10-12 hours. $40 seems too expensive. This feels like a $20 game to me.

    You also needed corpses to raise your dead. You could also have pets rank too which was cool. You were a great soloer. That was in the mud days though where you had to group.

    I actually played a necrosis in Eq at release. I think I was the first to level 16 or whatever on my server. Sojourn necrosis was a minor nuker, decent debunks and had a minion point system. By max level you could summon skeletons, zombies, ghouls, vamps, ghosts and finally you had your epic...
