In alpha/phase 1 and maybe phase 2, all the servers were in Japan I think.

Why do publishers feel they are entitled to a cut of used game sales? If I buy a car and resell the vehicle, does the manufacturer of that vehicle get a cut of that sale? Is their any other industry that's allowed to do that?

That piece sounds pretty good. Any more music from this game floating around?

I'll roll on Malboro server when phase 3 starts. When phase 4 starts I'm gonna roll on a server with no legacy players. Want the game to feel fresh with no content being locked down by maxxed characters from day 1

Scarlet witch is a beast. She seems very OP!

We know how everyone loves to bitch but are their own worst enemy. Like ADHD kids that can't focus to prove their point. I keep saying it. We are our own worst enemies.

This^ I played it until I got to the end of the content and groups started being ridiculous. I rewarded them on principle for trying something new.

Just curious, what's the best warlock spec to level with anyways?

My Mage is 90 and has a 500 ilvl. I'm still running dailies for a few factions and doing LFR weekly. Got the urge to play a warlock and rolled one up then it hit me, I don't wanna put this much time into a game I'm not gonna play long term and I'm so far behind in. With Wildstar and FFXIV on the...

As long as combat is all about max DPS, tactics and strategy seem to take a back seat to "the rotation". The minute combat rewards the person with tactics and strategy, you have a point. Most MMOs it doesn't and ability bloat is definitely an issue.

I'm fine with it having PVP. I just pray it won't effect the PVE. These devs are doing and saying all the right things. I'll even do some PVP as long as its not retarded and its fun. It's just like I keep saying...NOBODY has done it right yet. Not even close. I'm beginning to think this genre...

Like I said, they get satisfaction from face rolling other characters in unfair fights, ganking and general OP classes. That's why it's so gratifying.

I don't disagree but they've stuck to their roadmap like a bible so it's not unexpected. Maybe it's because all the required classes/jobs weren't in untl this phase.i

Actually they weren't. They lost their CC abilities usefulness, had buffs reduced in power and 1/2 the DPS of other casters. That's why they became rare and mythical like unicorns. Or relegated to alts and 2 boxes. That's all thanks to the shitty PVP trying to be tacked on.

This^ Plus most of the beta 2 dungeons were tank and spank. But all the mechanics weren't in and no skill chains as he pointed out. Beta 3 will have pretty much everything in that will be in the final game. And open beta after that will most likely just test for stability and only be a couple...

I don't think we really disagree. It's just well no developer has done it yet. We only have past precedent to go by. In MMOs, the classes that are built to take and absorb damage with a few healing abilities and 3/4 of the DPS of a pure DPS class ALWAYS are the strongest. No MMO yet has been...

Comparing LoL or any other MOBA to an MMO is pointless. MOBA class design is not necessarily good for PVE design. There has to be a choice from the start to be a PVP game or a PVE game. Trying to be both just leaves both camps without what they want.

These systems already exist in said games. The devs just don't follow thru on their promises and until they do I'm happy to lose the 15% that play for the PVP so the 85% that play for PVE can be left alone. If they ever get their shit together then fine.

And it's funny most of the people that love MMO PVP gravitate to the OP classes. They just like to grief and face roll people. And if they can't do that they bitch and leave the game anyways. Only, by that time the game is no longer enjoyable for either crowd anymore.

That's bullshit. EQ2 was ruined by their attempt at PVP balance. They even had a system to keep it separate from the PVE abilities. My enchanters were constantly nerfed every patch. Why? Their PVE abilities made them too powerful in PVP. Class balance doesn't exist. I agree with you there...

Well maybe the people who play the game for the PVE are sick of their MMOs being ruined because of PVP and the whining for balance that ends up nerfing the game for everyone else. PVP is why we can't have nice things in MMOs anymore and a lot of us are sick of it.

What the fuck would you like us to talk about? An MMO nobody has any details about that was canceled? They covered that on the first page. Now the conversation has shifted elsewhere. Deal with it dickhead!

No I'm literally saying make a Pokemon MMO. Same world, same Pokemon. Same battle system. Instead of guilds you could form gyms. You could train, battle, raise Pokemon. That game would PRINT more money than the last 4 Nintendo consoles and I'm not even joking.

But how is that really any different than uppercut 1, 2, 3? In the end it's the same ability bloat.

Yes

Games like EQ2, GW2, LOTRO, DDO aren't pay to win at all IMO. But games like Allods Online, Runes of Magic and their ilk are straight up pay to win. You literally HAVE to spend money to be competitive in their end games. No ifs, ands or buts. But keep this in mind. All those cool mounts that...

Yeah I agree. If Nintendo made a Pokemon MMO, it would literally print money. Big fucking piles of it. It's literally ASKING to be made an MMO.

We could start by not trying to make MMOs PVP esports. That shit is terrible for the genre.

The difference I guess between the black market and the official market is really developer resources. I'd rather have the developer charge me a monthly sub and put all their resources into their game. Save the nice graphics for items that were long quest rewards, epics, raid gear etc. Now...

Sounds like my experience exactly lol

I don't care. I'm hyped. These guys are hitting all the right notes with me. I can't wait to try it.

I think ps3 beta starts with phase 3. Not sure how they are handling the invites.

I'd imagine its gonna start end of may beginning of June. They have to fit open beta in between there and aug 27 too. So soon.

The beta roadmap states phase 4 or open beta. States characters will not be wiped. They have followed that roadmap religiously since alpha.

Keep in mind, open beta characters will transfer over and not be wiped. So technically, we all get early access.

I just hope they limit transfers for 1.0 characters to certain servers and offer some servers with completely new characters only. Then, I'll be satisfied. Everyone starting from the bottom

I forgot. Tough guys everywhere. Just imagine what he teaches his kids to talk like on XBL...

I don't have kids now? Ok then. I'll inform my 3 kids they're all bastards now. Maybe I taught my kids better taste in gaming than to want an Xbox? All kidding aside, they get what I want to get them. Period. As an aside you sure do have a habit of attacking people that disagree with you...

Not like little Timmy and all his friends could afford their own shit. Whatever their parents buy is what's "IN".

We all know that dev resources are limited. So if devs start selling the cool looking gear in the cash shop, that means that there is little chance of those cool looking items to ever drop in the game themselves. Look at SOE's track record. All the cool mounts and unique graphics are for sale...
