I enjoyed a lot about KoA when it came to crafting and finding gear and making completely OP builds. But the actual game was a string of MMORPG solo quest hubs. That shit was awful.

I'm not sure if it's just too early, but was that a abstract way of making combat more action based like TERA? TERA was actually fun to actively play. You didn't mind grinding mobs because you had fun just fighting. But like everything, it got old because the content got stale around level...

KoA sold over a million copies. That has value.

Amateur porn will be awesome.

That's called a dynamic ecosystem. It would be an interesting game. As far as WOW, I don't really care if other people see the same bosses I do, but I really hate the idea of having three versions of the same raid. It just dilutes the content. I would prefer a more steady decline of raid...

The costs vary on the internets used.

Well your backstab scenario works in my systems. You can augment your autoattack so that if you are standing behind a dude, you're attack will backstab for superduper damage. You can augment the whole thing based on how much twitch or control mechanism (controller vs. kb+m) you use...

Woolygimp posted a lot on FOH.

Going off of Zehns anti healing rants, I'd like to specify what I'd actually like to see in a combat system. It goes back to my long ass post in the "What next" thread. Essentially the game is broken down back to autoattack. Instead of making it so I have to hit a key every single GCD with...

Kreugan, don't bother arguing with Convo. The only MMOs he's played was EQ for a while and like one other game for a month.

I'd say yes to that, but I can't control Tuco.

That's fine with me. But if you think he can actually make a game anyone would be satisfied for years is crazy. I don't think he can pull it off.

I remember that. I also remember me suggesting that you should be able to mount a house any level as long as you could buy one. I won that argument

Denaut nailed it. The rest of you are batty.

You are falling for his vision. That brings nothing but ruin. Plus his vision is outdated.

You're cute kid.

True. But you can't drive my boat though.

Pyksel you're so going to get burned by this. So burned. Mark Jacobs is already creating a media circus around this. He managed to get GBtv to ask for an interview for internet traffic. Don't get sucked in.

Harfle do you want to be my asian migrant worker for my strawberry field?

I broke even essentially and our wedding was small with 90ish people. I also live in New Jersey so things will be more expensive.

If Aion's grind was lessoned and the engin survived I think people might of enjoyed it a bit more. The game is actually entertaining if you play on a private server that has a 10x exp multiplier on it. In the end though, it just didn't have the content to support people long term. The only...

I've only watched epIII once, and that was in the theatre. I think I'll try doing this one day.

This game's success will ride on what players can do on that island. Outside that, this game is a diku clone with a different class system. It could be good.

Maybe you should write a book about this crown jewel of an establishment.

What? I'm talking about labor costs for a restaurant. Right now a restaurant doesn't have to pay extra to keep servers on later.

Well if you want to temper your expectations, the combat in this game is incredibly bland and the animations and effects are really nothing to write home about. The class system seems fun (kind of what Rift should of been) and the combo system with abilities seems like it could really play into...

Anon internets is gay. Man up!

That's what some people have been trying to do with Ecosystem designs. Essentially when you interact with X, Y happens. Or if you interact with Player B, Z happens. Cause and effect, but instead of it being scripted like GW2 where a leads to b which leads to c, you need to create a system...

Someone should hire me to make an MMO. I bet I could design one that would make some money. I'd hire Lithose to write the lore.

Oh it's hard, but not impossible, and we're seeing it become iterated in games right now. Look at Rift and GW2. What they have is dynamic content in it's infancy. Rift has the ability to create overlay textures and structures based on simple scripts. GW2 spent a lot of type scripting content...

Let me first say that I have no idea what EQ is like today, I'm assuming you mean EQ like 10 years ago or so. I'm also going to admit there is an audience for almost any form of game. I am assuming that if you want to create a new EQ you are attempting to go after a decent portion of the...

My initial impression was essentially Aion without the bloom. Leveling was super fast. I hit level 5 in like 10 minutes. Combat was pretty simple, like any other game. Animations are ok. I wasn't really impressed with the graphics and all of the sliders I saw were maxed. Honestly it was...

So I'm playing this right now. Yeah it sucks not knowing what anything does.

I got mine!

Your math pretty much ignores the normal costs of doing business. It's not that simple at all. When I say service will turn to shit, I don't mean people are going to be pissing in your face and telling you to fuck off. Servers are going to go up to your table, ask you what you'd like eat...

Because waiters work more hours than they actually serve tables. So the direct 15% tip doesn't correlate directly to a 15% increase in food costs. Servers have to clean up, prep stations, break down stations. Restaurants have to keep staff on longer than necessary to cover sudden rushes etc...

I had a great wedding and it cost just south of $20k. Paid about 92/person that included taxes and tip and cake. An extra grand for the room for the ceremony. Open bar. The rest of the expenses come out to the dress, flowers (don't spend a lot here, I spent around $650 or so) and all the...

Everyone does of course.

I agree with that, but the rest of your post was retarded.

Valid points and questions. First point, food costs would go up more than 10-15% if companies simply just took that chunk of change and put it into menu costs. So in the end, if you can deal with tipping 15% without changing the system, then you're going to get a less expensive dining...
