    Battlefield 3

    This game just does not have the feeling of the older BF games like my favorite, Brothers in Arms. The PC version is still serviceable, but IMO the console versions are shit because of the 12 player limit. Even the cropped maps are shit because you get like 2 people in tanks, 2 people in jets ...

    The main problem with non instanced content is not the items that drop, usually this pretty much self regulates itself ingame. But what does suck is the campers and if the game is popular it will be flooded with 100s of Chinese farmers to get the items. this is where the problem lies and new...

    Parent Thread

    All I gotta say is do not sterilize everything like some parents do. Im a firm believer in germs being good for your kids, as it builds up their immunities. So many new parents go down the route of being germaphobes, sanitizing everything the kid touches that it, IMO, does more harm than good...

    Thats funny, because this is what I did to my molding in my house and it still looks great after many years. It looks a lot better than having a gaping hole between the molding and the wall like it did when we moved in. (Whomever did it did a shitty job) You just have to get the right stuff, not...

    Exactly, or like I said, use phasing like WoW does to separate the boss battles. Even anarchy Online, back in like 2002 had massive social dungeons, but if they got too full, they would spawn instances of the entire dungeon. I just hate how WoW ended up with the shitty 20min one hallway...

    I would rather see large sprawling social dungeons with areas which are phased for certain boss encounters. Best of both worlds IMO, oh ,and fuck instances.

    What would be nice is if these next gen consoles connected to the home network so you could use them as a sort of media hub.

    Yeah, and lets not forget that traveling in EQ was dangerous and exciting at times as well. Anything from the odd red mob roaming, to having to travel through zones with much higer level mobs in them as a whole. Later this was replaced with see invis mobs and such in certain zones you had to...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Yeah this is about the time I lost interest as well. It would not be so bad if the dungeon queues were less than 30-40 min like they were on my cluster. That was the only fun thing, even if it was doing the same dungeons over and over again. But the whole quest grind thing can fuck off already.

    From my understanding the next gen consoles might as well be called PCs anyway, so yeah, it makes sense. Same with Palnetside 2 as well.

    SWTOR

    Everything you say is true. They just went the safe mode way, except it really wasn't safe, was it? The problem with these games is that they take so long to complete, that all this shit probably sounded like a good idea back in 2005 or 2006 when this game was initially conceptualized. But here...

    What made me see the entire plane on a treadmill problem in another light is imagining the airplane taking off from moving water. And then the light went off. No math needed. BTW, that helicopter one is a classic, I laughed my ass off.

    Yeah, I mean we do run our asses off in these games, that's true. But what really matters, especially now that were all pretty much seasoned mmo players, is how the travel and other designed in time sinks are masked. In vanilla wow I did not mind the running, because the entire notion of...

    Ill do some more testing tonight but thats (4.2) what I have it set at. Reading a bit about it on the nets basically tells me that you do in fact need to fuck with the vcore to get it to OC to the range of 4.4 and over with huge temp increase so Im not sure if its even worth it.

    Thats funny because in WoW or Rift or any other modern MMORPG, its the same shit. You have essentially 1-2 raid dungeon(s) with 5+ bosses you do over and over again, until the devs grace you with another patch in 4+ months adding another 5 bosses. Oh and dailies.... The point being is that...

    So I ended up getting the i5 3570K anyway. Micro center had this deal that if you buy the latest i5 or i7 you get $50 off for the mo-bo, so it ended up being a wash whether I get the i5 2500K or the i5 3570. Anyone have any experience with OCing this thing? I did not run any tests or...

    Yeah but like was said, EQ was not a game where you traveled around so much. When I started playing (2000 with Kunark) there was already a set path to leveling up, so most people hung out in those zones for weeks at a time. I started in Qeynos so I did have to do the eventual run to FP at around...

    I think what the last 20 or so pages has shown is that we need to move away from levels, gear levels and anything of that sort and institute a skill based progression system with soft caps. So that first starter zone would be just as dangerous to a seasoned, skilled player just like the new...

    I didnt get my first PC until 2000, it was a PII 800mhz with a 20 gig HD, 128 mb ram (which I upgraded to 512mb) and I got it for around $1600, not to mention the graphics card I had to buy for it for another $200 or so. Internet was cheap by then, I think we were paying like $25 per month for...

    Well well just agree to disagree. Comparing an internet game in 1999 to an internet game in 2005 is like comparing a 1990s Motorola flip phone to a blackberry in 2003.

    Well you obviously were one of the privileged. Because in 1999 only some 40% of households had PCs and only 47% of those had internet. Compared to almost 70% in 2005 with most of those households having an internet connection. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=119358&page=1...

    I think it was a bit more than 430K at the time. Remember EQ was not the only mmorpg on the block back then. we had AO, DAOC, AC, Shadowbane, and not to mention the asian mmorpgs like Final Fantasy before wow even came out. To say that the genre was capped at 430K is being a bit disingenuous...

    Man, Heartsman is overrated IMO. He worked on EQ2 and before him EQ2 was crap and after he left EQ2 was just a bit less crappy. WOW! Then he goes on to do Rift which was probably the most boring sterile game I ever played.
