Absolutely agree that the players shouldn't know everything. Keep plenty of info under the hood. Let the guessing turn into rumors and the rumors turn into legends. It was the unknown and guessed at that made Norrath seem so big and daunting. The days of knowing the exact impact and numeric...

Their main design philosophy is to create an EQ redux. It's that easy, for the most part. I think that also means creating a very "community-oriented" game, because EQ was a very community-oriented game. Basically, anytime you are wondering about a VR design philosophy, ask yourself "was this...

What's the answer? Don't open your mouth until you have something to show worth showing. That's almost always the answer. If a company starts the hype train rolling, the audience is naturally going to expect to see results. You don't blame the audience for that, you blame the company that...

Ogre doesn't look terrible. He does look like he has Down Syndrome, but shit, it's an ogre, he isn't supposed to look like a genius. Wolf looks better in second pic, but still has a bizarrely red mouth. No idea what's going on with that. Granted, I have a very low threshold for art...

Your calculation is a bit off there Perelman ;)

Ah, well i guess it can't be about that. I dunno, maybe you guys are right. I just think it's a strange leap to start turning Joel into a ghost (especially when he seems pretty well alive in the trailer) just because Ellie is angry and wants revenge. Obviously a long time has passed since...

I didn't play that DLC Left Behind thing, but wasn't there some kind of lesbian lover she had?

Granted, it's been a while since I played TLOU, but why are we jumping to the conclusion that the Joel in that trailer is an imaginary Joel instead of a real Joel? I must have missed something.

What this thread should be: A reasonably open-minded discussion about Pantheon with a healthy dose of skepticism due to the lead developer's history. What this thread is: Considering how much mmo experience and the historical understanding of the genre that the population of this board has...

SOE was handling some marketing stuff for months prior to release and then after release, correct. They also handled publishing and payment upon release. Then, a little after release, they began to field some of the customer support stuff (but not all of it). Eventually, they purchased the...

Vanguard was released prior to SOE's acquisition. Since you're not a fan of revisionist history, you probably want to get it right.

Pick up snowboarding or skiing immediately. You'd be a fool to waste an opportunity to do either at Vail.

Thanks, that's the info I was looking for. So if I buy the basic edition for $30 I won't be missing any maps or weapons? I don't care too much about fluff, but I don't want to be missing maps or weapons

Looks like it will be good, but pretty obviously depressing. Also looks like a prequel to Clavell's Shogun.

Yeah, definitely more than one class. Several mob models... maybe you should just watch the vid yourself. It will answer your questions. If you want a summary of what I took from it, and I can say succinctly, there isn't much worth talking about yet. If you aren't an EQ fan looking for a...

Late to the party, want to pick this up for PS4. Advice on what "edition" is the best buy and where to find it the cheapest very appreciated.

To be fair, they were very clear that the demos they have shown thus far were to display core mechanics and really general gameplay stuff. They have been very open about how much "extrapolation" they have left to do in order to flesh out the details and provide adequate content for release.

That's a terrible definition. By that definition, virtually every game made in recent history was vaporware at some point. If that's the case, calling a game vaporware means nothing.

I love pvp in mmos if done right- but pvp and microtransactions are a losing combination. Well, for me, any mmo and microtransactions is a losing combination, but especially a pvp mmo.

Dublin is fun. You won't run out of things to do. Take the Holyhead ferry over. Be advised, the Irish are very into American politics and have some unusual ideas about US govt. If you are from stateside, expect to spend some time answering for the US's current political climate. They will...

Nothing about that looks hard scifi bro. Brought to you by the director of

Yeah the first one had a behind the scenes on the filming and it was just as interesting as the actual doc itself. The behind the scenes for the cave episode was the best.

I can excuse the "tour the facility" thing that the apparently nameless Asian character took Maeve on. Like someone else said, seeing hosts in clothes walking around isn't such an uncommon sight that it would have instantly set off alarms. It was just extremely risky on the Asian guy's part--...

No clue, didn't try

The look, feel, and game mechanics of Enderal are significantly better than they are in Skyrim, but those are things that newer Skyrim mods might have greatly improved. I dunno. I played Skyrim with a few mods, but that was years ago. What I will say, is that a large part of what makes...

Was thinking along similar lines. Logan actually fits way better than William as the MiB. William is the "magicians decoy", the hand to distract you while the "magic" is being performed by the other hand. Logan already wears the black, he already has the drive to take the "game" as far as it...

Almost done with Enderal (full conversion Skyrim mod). Best game I've played in years. Head and shoulders better than Skyrim. Can't recommend enough.

You mean that Yankees kid?

Yeah, don't care enough to go back to earlier vids and do a comparison, but the models looked noticeably better. Animation wasn't great, but wouldn't prevent me from playing. This is going to turn out to be an EQ/VG hybrid for sure-- if it turns out at all.

That would be Jan or Feb 2000

Oh fuck. This was about the only thing that could bring out of retirement Edit: For those who don't know, these guys did the old guildwars servers. Here's the deal with their servers- Good- Devnoob is the DB guy and his stuff is solid. Image is the programmer/server dev etc. He is very...

Worked with a dude who met his wife playing EQ. Imported her all the way from Australia. And before you ask, yes I saw her in person, yes I'm positive she was a female, and yes, I'd even categorize her as attractive.

Mac client one of the reasons I stopped playing on this server. Titanium client up yet?

The Expanse- SciFi Tai-Pan/Shogun/King Rat- Historical Fiction Gates of Fire- Historical Fiction The Last Kingdom Series- Historical Fiction Lots and lots of great listening hours there.

Pretty sure Hopkins hasn't made any "mistakes" at all, and his intention is to essentially create life by making the robots more and more human. That's why he is giving feelings/memories etc to the hosts under the auspices of making them more believable and realistic for the guests.

I'm using my waiver spot for Philly D, definitely. Defenses get a ton of points in my league. Besides, defenses are, in my opinion, one of the more overlooked cash cows in fantasy football. If you pick Julio Jones and Julio Jones gets hurt, you are screwed. But if you pick a great defense...

I've got Forte. I'm going to start Forte because my other options are Tevin Coleman, Deangelo Williams, and Jerrick Mckinnon. That said, if I had Michael, I would start him instead. Forte is a solid back and he gets a ton of work, but it's VERY hard to move the ball against Seattle on the...

The sites themselves will nail you for HBO shows? Or you will get nailed by ISPs? And you mean if you are seeding, right?
