Are you seriously arguing that games should not create better QoL features in their games?

Thanks.

Some people just like to click a button and do a dungeon. They don't want to put any effort into wrangling 4 strangers to do something specific. Also, the whole not enough tanks and healers usually screws up the ease of making a group. LFG systems work really well since they tend to be cross...

Looking forward to some of their balancing things. The rest was pretty much expect though from their blog posts.

Oh, looks like I'm famous now. Edit: Voted, hook me up. I remember this game now. It was fun as hell.

If you google Age of Wushu release date, you get tons of articles telling you Feb 1st.

This game is getting some crazy word of mouth recently. Has anyone tried it? It's like a crazy open world where you can be a spy, or be a bandit when you're offline. Sandbox fans should love it. I just read this:http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/12...of-wushu-beta/

That's pretty cool from an engineering point of view. How much does a printer cost?

Feel free to donate a few thousand dollar anytime you get around to it.

Those guns can only really be fired once or twice, if at all, before they fail.

Depending on whether I feel like playing GW2 tonight or not, I want to play around with a DW melee build.

I like the potential min/max theory crafting of skill systems. Path of Exiles is a good example of an amazing class system for a Diablo type of game. Rift had an interesting system until the butchered it (they expanded talents vertically rather than horizontally). TSW's system is pretty great...

I've never really needed anything other than IPT. But then again, I'm not a big comic/music downloader.

What is that rumor based on? Interview or something?

Rift class design is awful. They essentially made most builds obvious and uninventive.

This game is still 1-2 years away in the NA unless they've secretly been translating it into English already. There's a lot that goes into translating a game into another language that doesn't involved using a dictionary.

I dont trust games that have websites that take 2 hours to load.

Yes there are a ton of things we can do and some of the things you've posted we have plans for. However it's a balance between keeping things the same and not upsetting the applecart and also evolving as we go. Things will take time.

I agree with everything in this post. I've advocated for most of it, especially on clever ways to make megaservers and how you handle shards. My arguement wasn't that only 20 people would play EQ1, I just grouped all the pro EQ1 people in this thread as those 20-30 people. I'm sure a lot of...

Oh lord. Here we go. 1) You're assuming that a mainstream MMO has to have cutscenes and voiceovers. I disagree with that. That's your assumption that no one else brought up. 2) I didn't say Neckbeard MMOs are too big of a project. I'm saying Neckbeard MMOs are not worth putting a ton of...

Woah bro. Woah. You're a feisty one. I didn't say it's never been done before.

I agree there is no reason why, but it does. Defiance has taken a very long time and their using their own engine that is shared with Rift, but they are porting to Playstation and Xbox so that might be some delay. Plus Syfy. It probably comes from poor upper and middle management and poor...

Wait how am I full of shit again? Or do you just need to be angry at someone to fuel your post count? I never said I needed voice overs and cut scenes, in fact that's not really necessary in games. I usually skip over all of that. I'm not a fan of most instancing these days at all. I...

What is the TLDR versions of that?

Difficulty factor yes. I think there is definitely a market for very challenging games and the market is lacking quality titles. However the risk factor is essentially having to do hard parts over and over until you get it done. You lose time attempting to complete something. At any point...

My major point is that major game studios will not be shooting for "aggressive ruled" (I like that term) MMORPGs because they are such huge projects. Until you can take the development time of an MMORPG from 5 years to 2, you're not going to be getting and major shifts in game theory from them...

EQN will sell zero boxes, because I don't believe there will be boxes to sell. I'm willing to bet it will be a free client download.

How am I arguing for a WOW clone? I don't want harsh death penalties. I fine with some death penalties, but nothing that sets me back hours and induces frustration. I'm ok with some xp loss, but not gear loss (though I can accept gear loss if gear is more easily gotten and not super rare)...

I know what 20-30 people on this message board that still play (or want to play a shinier version of) a 15 year old game are saying that's fine. But I'm not talking about a indie game company that is going to recreate an EQ you want. I'm talking about Sony putting a ton of money and time into...

Your dum.

English website, not much detail on it though:http://www.archeage.com/en?locale=en#index

How many of those 22 year olds are pining for a modern recreation of EQ1? If Sony is making a game, they will try to reach the largest target audience, and that won't be with the NeckbeardEQ. They will attempt to reach the 22 year olds with a shit load of time that is used to play games like...

Anyone picture that would not show up on a safe google image search would flag the site.

Who the fuck cares if they waste money. The more people who try something new, the more chance we get a good idea. It's not my cash.

But gear matters because it effects the power of your character. Your problem or concern is that one of two things: A) You level too quickly and content is easier, thus you don't become attached to specific gear items. or B) There is too much gear thus you don't form an attachment to a specific...

From what I know, I believe it's typical battleground stuff.

Go to defiance junkies, there should be some left.

Oh please, I said relatively. EQ is one end of the spectrum where you have static loot tables all over the world vs. WOW that has static loot tables all over the world plus randomly generated gear to fill in the gaps.

Yeah, you can have those games. My life is not set up to carve out hours of time to play games these days where if I fuck up I can easily sit around for another 2-5 hours to do a CR. I'm not a 22 year old that really don't have to go to class tomorrow anymore.
