You guys are retarded. GW2 cares about box sales (huge success there) and people buying gems. If people are logging in for 10 seconds on average I would imagine they would be thrilled because that means they are still paying attention to their game enough to load the program. Every time they...

Well sure you can have both, but my point is, using the same content one way is boring and the other it's fine. Grinding to get tokens or drops in a dungeon is fine for most people. Grinding a dungeon for 10 levels just to get to other dungeons is less fun, or a means to an end. Key is: for...

Pretty much not true. There are 10-30m queues on JQ every single night from 6pm through 11pm. Hell getting on to JQ before server transfers went paid was a hassle.

Meh. The leveling process is a treadmill in it's own rite. Most of these game at the "end game" relies on other people to do things. I've been doing a few dungeons in GW2 and I've made some friends that I'll toss on my friends list to do dungeons with again. Dungeons in GW2 are pretty shitty...

To each their own. I prefer having a character with the full array of abilities for the majority of a game's lifetime. The rest of your statement with social dungeons and quests and rewards fits either style of game.

As far as I know, external beta has not begun yet. That's not to say that some kind of internal alpha (F&F essentially) with outside people hasn't started yet.

GW2 doesn't need a large playerbase, they need to sell a lot of boxes. They did. They are incredibly successful. Most successful MMO after WOW. People playing these games don't want to slog through tedious weeks of leveling to max out. They want to max out as soon as possible. But they...

I agree that their PVP systems are severely lacking. Hopefully they will put something into place that is fun.

Ok everyone can stop bitching about the Hero Engine shit. The fact they are using the Hero Engine has nothing to do with the quality of the game. It's what they do with it that counts.

That's without the cost of air plane ticket out of NYC.

There are plenty of developers to bitch about, but the crew at ArenaNet is not one of them. They made a pretty good game. Well worth the box cost. Nosub4lyfe

This character model looks awful, unless the Game Producer likes making characters with super tiny heads.

Yoda movie is a stupid idea. I'd rather have a special episode of Fraggle Rock Jedi.

He's usually right though. He just jumps off the cliff every 3 or 4 posts.

I'd like to buy you a beer.

Rift was pretty damn close.

Star Citizen just posted something cool about how they will handle death.

See, internet stalking gets you free shit.

He needs another great idea, so he decided to do Camelot and RvR. Heh.

People who are terrible at gammer. They should of fucking stayed in school.

I could of fixed WAR really easily. You take T1 and delete everything else in the game. That is your leveling and those are all the abilities you will ever get. Then add a ton of maps to fight over so players can gain pvp ranks and gear and shit. Of course you still had a shitty server...

Pyksel did you get a chance to read the necro forums on prx? Anyway, I'm messing around with a new necro build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fQAQRAo...SUkFK3PSoGXMNA D/D, D/F Knight Gear for now. Superior Runes of Ice (6/6) (includes 5% damage increase to chilled targets and a 150 or...

WAR was no where near being great from their world design, class design, end game design, combat mechanics, server infrastructure. You is on crack.

Go watch a Defiance video, that's how I would do third person. Not much zoom, pretty up close to the toon.

Yeah nothing new with this game, just promises of "I learned my lesson and won't fuck up the same way again! And with less money!!"

Hey man, don't knock DIKU muds. They teach some very good lessons, like how to make a fun game with severe tech limitations. I mean when you are playing a game that is text based on a 9600 baud modem on a server that can't hold more than 200 congruent connections, you need to design the shit...

I use a 3 monitor setup in a 5760x1080 resolution. It's pretty awesome. You need some FOV tweaks to see below you though. I haven't experimented with it much though.

That's what happens when people talk about things in generalities and in how things should "feel" vs. talking about how you can get those end results in terms of actual game mechanics.

What the fuck are you talking about? Are you truly that stupid? I don't know how many times I've mentioned shit I'd like to see go away like levels, quest driven content, increasingly larger vertical character progression, linear dungeons, instancing. But you like to be retarded. But no...

You keep saying WOW centric. Stop it. Your problems is that you are filtering everything I say like I play WOW every day and I find that it's the apex of design (even without mention what era of WOW you're talking about since it's drastically changed over the last decade). Stop. This is not...

Hey retard, when the fuck did I say market research is my holy grail? Jesus fucking christ. Market research is a tool good developers use to augment designs with any product. But please if you're going to start getting obsessed with this argument, go make a thread in the business section. Or...

What the fuck are you talking about? Are you trying to say that Ford and Jobs never used market research to make their products better? Or are you saying bean counters aren't designers so market research is bad? It's not like there isn't any precedence to go from when it comes to first and...

Solid argument buddy. Next up, you can begin to argue against global warming because it snows a lot in your neighborhood.

No, I do actually know that. There has been market research done by studios on it. FPS doesn't have the same issue because those games are all about gameplay, and not centered around killing bad guys for gear. And upgrades in that game are mostly statistical and not cosmetic. And the little...

That might be true for you but you and your friends are in the minority.

I don't get it.

I'll quote myself, even though you quoted it: There is only so much competition a player can take before he says fuck it and leaves. When you have 6 entities going after 4 different things, then it's fun as long as you're not sitting on your ass for 20 minutes in between waiting. However when...

lol

It's going to be terrible.
