Do they plan on adding more classes besides the 4?

I'll second that. Damn near flawless beta with minimal bugs.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Denaut again.

I've seen people compare the used game market to to used bookstores and I can see their arguments but the video game market is different in a way. If studios don't sell a certain number of copies, they lose money and eventually fold. Some cheap ass gamers want a certain title but dont want to...

US broadband speeds and pricing are ridiculous. We need some EU type regulation of internet and cell phone companies badly here.

So what happens when your console breaks and you can't play your games on the refurbished/new system they give you? They aren't saying the games are tied to your acct but the console itself. That's horseshit if its implemented like that!

Definitely not true...

what?!

I hate the first person view because it doesn't show you all you would see if you were truly looking thru your own eyes. So it's not immersive to me. If in a raid I constantly have to pan down to see if I'm standing in something, that's kinda retarded. I have peripheral vision in real life...

Personally, I hate the first person view so I don't care if it stays third person. I like seeing my character.

Not sure this is MMO news bro...

So did you guys not realize the engine was complete garbage? I mean no disrespect by that I am just wondering why another one wasn't chosen.

I guess we'll see what version when more than 20 people get on screen at a time and it turns into a slide show...

I don't think anyone knows the answer to that besides the devs themselves.

But let me answer my own questions with my guesses 1. They did this to cater to people who have limited time to play. While not a wrong, they allowed people to warp all over the world and complete content perhaps faster than they should and/or monopolize said content. 2. They added this...

Im thinking along the lines of sandbox, non instanced content. Fast travel from one end of the world to another would allow a guild to lock down most of the content and that is a huge problem.

So lets start by asking a few questions: 1. Why did the devs take long travel out of the equation? 2. Why did the devs go to a BoE loot system? 3. Why did the devs speed up the leveling process? Answers to these questions could shed some insight as a lot of us on these forums...

You say "WE"...were you a VG dev?

EQ2 for all its bad stuff, did a couple things right. Their mentoring feature was great for higher level characters to delevel and help their new buddies. They also added chronomentoring, where you paid a fee and had your level reduced without a need for another character, great for farming...

It's really not even about "not catering to the masses". Really where the gamer designers lost their way is they stopped making THEIR world and we are just players in it. They have basically been trying to cater their world to everyone and their grandma, and the end result is a bland...

Some of those mechanics would have to happen rapidly though. If we kill a lot of bears, and the rabbit population grows larger, it can't take weeks for the bears to respawn. That wouldn't be practical. Speaking from a gaming perspective of course.

Swtor I presume

Fast travel needs to go away, especially if all mobs are open world and contested. We don't need 1-2 guilds locking down all the mobs all the time.

I'd imagine we'll get more info by or at E3 this year. It's supposed to launch this year so we will see.

Right but the hardcore PVE players won't stay in a game like that. You still need PVE content.

Really it's just the size. The Elantra has less horse power but both have 4 bangers. I just bought 2013 Sonata limited. It's very nice and only 25k

Ok that CGI was tits!

I don't really think it is all that complicated to design a good MMO. Call me naive but you only need a few things: Distinct classes with their strengths and weaknesses that are interdependent on each other- That should cover the need for players to group together to accomplish things...

This game looks average. We shall see if this version of the hero engine isn't complete dogshit

I used the keyboard and the controller in EQOA. Really the keyboard was only for talking though. All actions were done through the controller primarily. I am too used to the keyboard and mouse interface these days but it was more fun to control your character with a controller than a...

EQOA was awesome on the PS2. Just needed more ram and marketing.

Man I installed a custom UI...I forgot how many damn UI elements there are!

This x 1000^^^

I'm sure you have. But he said integrated graphics. Even the new ivy bridge chips with hd4000 can barely manage WoW at low settings. Laptops with dedicated graphics cards will fare a whole lot better.

Expecting to play any MMO with integrated graphics is expecting a bit much isn't it?

I agree. They should aim for a polished VG instead of EQ with new graphics. Then they would have a hit. VG is solid, just buggy and unfinished.

Idk. We all talk about not wanting homogenous classes, but if all defensive tanks have a defensive stance and an offensive stance, aren't they basically the same. Also, should a class that has better innate defense ever do as much DPS as a class that has less? I don't think so. But modern...

Both blood mages and disciples were OP as shit so of course everyone thought they were awesome. Everyone loves to be OP. Doing ridiculous DPS while being the strongest healer should NEVER EVER be thought to be a good class design. EVER! But the classes mechanics were great.

He got too full of himself and had to commit seppuku.
