Well you did get banned for screaming at Curt Schilling, continuously, like a psycho. Not to say he didn't deserve a little bit of screaming, but you just kept at it. Heh.

The smaller amount of abilities means that it's easier to balance against other classes. This means you can constantly add new characters into the game which is kind of a fun thing to do. When you don't have 80 levels and giant talent trees, it also makes things easier as well. LOL's model is...

That's what I get for not reading carefully. I like the Engineer, lots of AOE dps there. The Medic looks like a druid as someone mentioned, a lot of HOTs and channeled heals. The engineer seems to have a lot of support with offering shields to people. That might be an interesting build. I...

Suit dodge is on the warrior skill list as far as I can see.

Engineer skill: Command: Defense Gives 1 Interrupt Armor to the Engineer and their bots within 60 meters.\n \nAdditionally, all damage taken is reduced by 20%. So it says "Engineer and their bots" as in multiple bots. Finally a pet class where you can have multiple pets? Or maybe the bot...

Am I the only person that watched that video and found a guy get really excited about going into a cave for a "fetch" quest to gather stuff and bring it back to town?

Ut is a long time member of this community. He's really not spending that much time on these forums talking about video games honestly.

I played Skyrim in third person.

I don't like gearing out multiple characters, so that's my motivation. Other people love it though. Personal preference.

To your LFR -> NM -> H comparison; it's not the same thing. You're comparing the same encounter with three different difficulty modes (in three different instances) to a single encounter that essentially rewards you the longer you survive. That is not remotely the same thing. Just think on some...

Well the whole point is that you design content to be used more often instead of just scenery while you go from quest hub to quest hub forgetting where you just came from.

Good idea and I've been talking about this type of game for a while now. I like the idea of limited abilities per class. Classes are more like things you collect that permanent. Here are variations that I would implement on your idea. 1. Instead of separate characters like MOBAs, you...

I would play an Engineer if I knew they did pet classes right (assuming its a pet class). Most of the time, MMOGs don't because for some reason all Devs seems to forget they need to add aoe damage reduction on pets or the pathing is retarded.

I would have to say that the next Blizzard MMO has more of a chance to be a failure than a success. Just look at D3.

See they should of scrapped D3 until PoE came out.

That makes sense, thanks.

I just started playing LoL and I'm trying to find some good resources since I've never really played MOBAs before. What are the go-to sites for builds and learning etc? I understand the basics and the metas of the game, I'm not retarded, but I'm trying to figure out how things currently rank...

They can't sit back forever. It's like buying a new PC part or cellphone, always something better coming out 6 months from now.

@Droigan There are probably encounters that have similarities, at least in part. The main thing is that it's different and takes the player out of the standard design of every single raid member stands in the same room and attacks a boss. Every single raid member sticks together as they work...

So you're looking for some Burger King? I mean, I still don't understand why you brought up McDonalds.

Really Camelot Unchained?

See, you lose your argument automatically when you start using the McDonalds argument. The only thing WOW and McDonalds has in common is that a lot of people consume them. McDonalds food is shitty quality. WOW's game is a high quality product, it just doesn't have the flavors you enjoy.

I agree with your sentiment because if you can make content that everyone can do no matter what, the better. However, in the end, that's not how it works (I wrote about this a few pages ago). You're fighting a few different things with this design philosophy. If you design a really interesting...

It's not the same thing at all? It's merely a multiphase encounter that the longer you survive the more loot you get.

Well the game is WOW++, we just don't know if it is interesting or not. I'm interested in finding out though.

This post gets updated periodically as we find out more information. If there is something missing, please post here with a source.

Hmm not really though. There is no "race" in the weekly world wide contest. Someone can post a "score", whatever that is, on Monday and someone can do something on Friday and they count against each other. Essentially there are taking timezones and reset times out of the mix, as well as server...

They might of changed, but they gave crap rewards. They gave you tokens to buy stuff for your planar engines. Otherwise they were useless, though there were some uber rare mounts and stuff. But the problem was that you would do one invasion, go back to town, wait 15 minutes or so, then do...

If that were the case, they would of canceled it long before they ramped up to 100 devs. If I had to guess, I would imagine that the game was not a DIKU-hotbar-tab target game at all. It was probably a shitty game because they tried to tie in the RMAH of D3 and all the battle.net ID/social shit...

I don't think the sole reason the game got bland was for PVP, but I will agree it had a lot to do with the retarded class nerfs. I think the game got bland because the developers lacked imagination. It's a shame too because over time, the art team and the world designers were getting and...

That's a totally different form of gameplay: it's called social PVP. Some people might love that shit, and I completely understand why. Personally I don't have time to be on the clock for a video game anymore. I'm not in college or unemployed. But that's completely separate from making a...

This. You can't have the exact same content that is designed to entertain whatever number of friends you have. It becomes ambiguous and you no longer have a point of reference with other people. If you were talking about a single player or multiplayer game, then what you are asking for is...

During invasions? Killing stuff for rewards and experience. The problem is that the rewards were nerfed to shit so no one cared, and the experience was nerfed as well. If they made it more enticing you could use that content to fuel your AA system, except their AA system was retarded. They...

The problem with scaling raid encounters is it's very difficult to make them more and more interesting when you don't know how many people you are going to bring. Unless you have some crazy AI brain that can make scripts and encounters on the fly, you need some kind of constant value to keep...

Any content is boring as fuck if you do it enough times. The thing is, they had the tech to make it more than just the same thing over and over. They had the tech to spawn 4 different massive invasions at the same time that fought each other. Toss in some dragons and some other crazy shit, and...

At least Wildstar won't have multiple versions of the same raid. Thank god. I for one won't be raiding in Wildstar most likely because I have a new born and that shit doesn't work with a raiding schedule. Unless you can raid in just one or two nights.

I played at release and I leveled 1-50 two weeks before the expansion. Quest NPCs were almost never cockblocked. Or if they were, it was simple little thing you could clear in two seconds. Trust me. I didn't really play through SI because gameplay was soul crushingly boring. I think I got...

That's completely wrong from what I know. They never let it happen that way again because they didn't want to disturb Timmy the Adventurer from turning in his kill 10 pig quest whenever he wanted. The completely screwed up their design by thinking that people cared more about turning in stupid...

The devs have already talked about this. They know getting 40 people together is harder, so they are saying that. They've already said that 40 man gear will be much better than 20 man gear. They want to get people to stand on top of a mail box showing off gear in the home city again. They don't...

Gearscore is fine, it's just another way to define your "level" once you stop earning experience. It's almost in every game already in different forms. AA points, Planar Attunement levels or whatever.
