I'm working on putting together all the leaked LUA shit that was available to the public. Path stuff should be out today I think.

The class system started off as awesome, the the devs have systematically made it really shitty. They nerfed all the interesting combinations to the ground. Then with the expansion the just made all the "talent trees" higher. In a system that promotes synergy and flexibility and tries to...

Paths look cool, but they seem like an adder to the game like Achievements. I've never been an Achievement kinda guy (I'm a dungeon crawler kind of guy), so that might be why they don't seem that interesting to me. If anything, I'd probably be a Settler because that seems kinda cool and very...

This episode made me feel like I was in High School English class and I hadn't done my homework in 3 weeks. I was in no mood to disseminate or interpret scenes and other dumb shit. I thought the last episode was awful. Sure, if you look at it from a perspective of themes, progressive society...

I said up thread that I'm going to be playing with the folks over on F13.net

I'm retarded, but where are you finding all those files?

This is my new guild sig for HEX.

GK sold out.

It's sensible, but it should not be the 2nd highest stretch goal. It's like they had to think of something random. If they weren't going to hit it easily, it's nothing really enticing to anyone.

Innovation will come from software. Proper development of dynamic environment and content deployment not based on hand crafted scripts and art assets. Maybe that needs better CPUs and network thoroughput though? I duno. I just hate bad analogies, but being a Giants fan is a double burn!

Well the whole point of my post was that we wont see true innovation until everything else runs it's course. But your point is taken. I would definitely not back a Hartsman project based just on name alone. For me to spend my money, he would need to provide at least proof of concept and more...

I'm pretty sure the last goal will be disappointing. Hell the 1.16M goal was giving everyone some kind of animation game intro and the people who spent a shit load of money get to have dinner with the devs, but you have to pay for yourself to get there. Yay?

Ok no one can use real life analogies for 2 days.

I suppose if you look at it from that angle. But to me it's just a different way of doing the same thing because the design theories, ideas, and project goals are just redesign elements from old games. There is no innovation honestly. The game could turn out to be fun, but it's still not the...

I'm not rooting for failure, I'm just giggling at people who expect a different result from people who have a proven track record.

What do you think is so drastically different about the development? My original point was that we will eventually see a new cycle of games that will be interesting again in the next 5-6 years. The interesting part will have nothing to do with development practices; it will come directly from...

Personally, because once this launches my daughter will be 6-10 months old, I will not have time to dive into it like I did years ago. But let's ignore personal life and assume I have the time and inclination to poopsock again. For the last decade, if I play an MMORPG longer than a month I'm...

My first point of contention is that Mark Jacobs design "theories" seem to be taking all old ideas and mashing them together including the mistakes. If you're backing it look for a unique game, that's totally wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself. However if you're backing it because you...

Doesn't that just make you giggle?

It's not going to be different, it's just going to be refined. Here is the game in a nut shell: 1-Max Level content End Game Content: Raids circa WOW Vanilla/TBC, "Heroic" Dungeons PVP Battlegrounds, Arenas Housing Typical Crafting New Stuff: Paths - an extra layer of content on top...

In the era of F2P and B2P games, the idea of playing an MMO for longer than 1-2 months is oldhat. Especially since there are so many options out there.

Right, hopefully we'll get that new and unique something soon. The cycle is just fine because for a large portion of it you get pretty decent refinement out of it (see: WOW). I just hope we won't be seeing many MMORPGs that are split between leveling and "elder game" stuff. No more levels and...

Heh. Hit 30 last night on my cleric. Forgemasters makes things a bit easier for solo play with it's heals. The Healing Words encounter was useless.

Essentially that.

The solution will come. Since these games take years to make, it will take more compounded years to fix. It probably will take another cycle or two to flush out all the bad design ideas. It will happen naturally. We just started getting decent games like GW2 and Rift (though Rift got worse as...

Thing is, even if you sell 1 million boxes, TESO probably won't come close to recouping their development costs. This shit has been brewing for a long time.

You don't have to be coy:http://www.betacake.net/2013/05/21/w...ths-abilities/ Formatting on that post is pretty bad.

Moved this back to Other games because it had good discussion in it. It'll stay here as long as Araysar stops being a dumbfuck.

It's certainly not the disaster of the century, that's SWTOR just based on the sheer amount of money they spent on it. The other disasters would be AOC, WAR and VG, though I wouldn't know how to rank them. TESO is going to launch soon, as in this year. Once they start doing the convention...

You have to as coy as Pyksel is being first!

I know for a fact that you can bribe TESO for beta invites.

There could be zones that allow flying mounts (in space?) and others that don't. I doubt they would trivialize Paths like explorer with flying mounts. Ya never know though.

I assume the engineer is tank/dps and the medic is heal/dps (duh). I wonder if Wildstar can pull off a pet class since no other game has done that ever really.

I'm pretty sure I remember that raids only had one version. The only "updgraded" modes were for dungeons.

Technically it isn't a leak if it's publicly available. NCSoft should lock down their client. Val: can you email me at[email protected]/* <![CDATA[...

I haven't read past this post, so maybe someone answered already. Short answer: no TCGs are exactly that: Collectible Card Games. The nature of the game is that the more money you spend, the better chance you have at getting better cards which makes your decks better. Currently, the higher...

Lol a_skeleton_03, so childish.

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't eventually add all types of tournaments eventually, if not at launch. Can't be that difficult to implement it.

Well the people that love Wildstar know it's exactly a WOW-clone but just upgraded and they are ok with that. I don't think anyone ever thought it was anything else. I don't think Wildstar ever claimed to be otherwise. Most people are just hoping it's decently made. @Denaut You have to...
