    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    There has to be some level of downtime IMO. I mean, why have resources if you dont have to manage them? Or they are full 5 seconds after you fight? Maybe not the 10 min we used to sit medding after a bad pull or whatever in EQ, but there definitely needs to be more downtime. I think the way...

    My assumptions are right on point and are echoed here in 30 other threads by hundreds of others. Its simply by slowing down what happens to a more strategic combat you will get more social interaction. Instead of running from pack to pack as quickly as possible. Its common sense.

    Or that "oh shit" moment when you see like 4-5 mobs? But you dont panic, well maybe a little, but somehow using your skills, root parking them, etc, you somehow squeak by. But then you have to med for like 30 min because everyone is oom.

    It was even fun in a grind group. I was a ranger and I did that many a time in the outdoors. Also I think some pulling was an accident, like monk feign death splitting. But I have a hard time believing that all pulling in EQ was an accident when they had spells that actually made you pull one...

    It was a good accident then. Because it allowed more social interaction. Something thats integral to a mmorpg. And something that is blatantly missing from tdays mmorpgs which auto group you together from other servers, then you mindlessly run through an L shaped instance and then rinse and...

    To tell you the truth, I was pretty hard core back in the day in EQ, but in 2017 I will be 45 and you can count me in on the filthy casual crowd. You can bet your ass if the game is good I will still plug some time into it, but not like a high school or college kid can.

    Advice on a good wireless surroundheadphones for PS4/Xbox360?

    So im in the market for a good set of headphones that are wireless and have surround for my kid. Im taking decent here not top of the line. I dont want to be spending $300 or some shit on a headset. More like $150ish. Ill even go up to $200 if there is a great reason/difference between $150 and...

    Back in 1999. Fast forward to 2017 where you have 5000 Chinese farmers willing to work for $0.25/hr to farm that shit non stop. good luck waiting. Look, Im all for things like they were, but you guys are nuts if you think a loot system like EQ had back in 1999 would work in todays games. And...

    Thats not the point. I can accept that. But waiting in lines in a video game? No fucking thanks. Be at the mercy of the local Chinese farmer? No thanks. This leads to all kinds of shitty problems. Look, we all know you want a reskinned EQ of 1999 but some of that shit just wont fly in 2017.

    Also, how do you address the no instance thing you guys are all vying for? With no instances, you basically have to ramp up the content. I mean im all for social dungeons and all that, but this day and age I dont think I have the stomach to do waht we did in 99. Wait lists, etc. How bout...

    I agree, especially in a PvE game where none of that shit really matters that much n the broad sense. But like was mentioned before twinking and items that are not BOE or BOP are obviously more rare because they need to be. I mean you just cannot have a fungi drop every time, right? So this...

    Thats a double edged sword. One one hand it pretty much invalidated low end content when you twinked out a person. But on the other hand it also gave people a reason to go back and do content again for the actual twink gear and then go back and slaughter everything with the twink. That being...

    People keep coming up with this excuse to have easy mode flying in the game. Its total BS. Travel in EQ was never a headache unless you were like Lv12 and trying to run from qeynos to EC. The more levels you had the better the SOW was and travel was never an issue. Totally agree.
