Bummer

Last I checked, all of us are theorycrafting and not speculating what SOE is making. Only thing we know for sure is its a sandbox. No need to come in the thread and insult everyone.

I understand that. Was just wondering if this is a complete FFA PVP game or not because if PVP is optional, this may be a hit.

If you like cutting edge players who break the class mold, shouldn't you like Rift? Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

Is this gonna be FFA PVP on all servers? I hope not...

I'm of the opinion that those are ok but limit them to your server so people can't be a tool with no repercussions. The cross server ones just let folks go nuts.

This beta doesn't even support 2560 x 1440 resolution. Click to move. It's ok but no way would I shell out for the founders pack.

Actually, SOE made that game you're describing and scrapped it. They didn't wanna put another WoW clone out. They are going a different direction they say. So there has to me SOME hope. If all they cared about was that crowd, they definitely wouldn't be making a sandbox game.

EQOA used an xl dept system that was meaningless at max level but since you had to grind CMs (AA in EQ), you wanted it gone. EQ2 used a shard system in the beginning. You could lose up to 5 shards before you would be really gimped. But each shard made you 20% less powerful. On top of that you...

So since I barely played EQ, what happened if you were max level and raided. The nature of raiding implies death, and lots of it. Did players have to spend time grinding back to cap after every raid?

You're giving SOE credit calling their marketing a sore point. It's been downright abysmal. I know you say you work there and have to cover your ass, but try to keep it real here.

What I don't get or understand is how can people say a modern EQ won't sell. Everything sells these days. Gamers buy all sorts of shit good or not. A modern EQ is guaranteed at least a million box sales minimum. The argument is where will the sub numbers fall. I mean, do you think games like...

What server other than test has the highest population?

Its a MMO you can play from your iPhone or Android smartphone

Is there a noob guide for EQ somewhere? I played way back when it first came out but didn't put much time at all into it. I'm bored and willing to give it a go but have no clue where to start and the default UI is hideous and intimidating lol. Any good custom UIs?

Well to be fair, prior to yesterday, Seattle looked like the strongest team in the NFC, not Atlanta, so their win shouldn't guarantee the Niners a Super Bowl trip. Kaeperbro better come to play next week.

Is it me or are the ravens holding the broncos defense?

Yeah Oher had a headlock on Dumerville

Yeah the pass rush is sucking today for Denver.

They need to give Bailey some safety help over the top. Without the deep threat Baltimore wouldn't have any offense right now.

Bailey needs some help. Smith is in beast mode.

Broncos need to score a TD here then get the ball back in the 2nd half and make this a rout!

I've heard nothing but good things about PS2's performance. Are there issues with the engine?

You're probably right about a happy medium. But hitting max level in 1-2 months shouldn't be something that's possible unless you play some absurd amount of hours a day. But then you have the issue of those same people locking down markets, spawns, and generally cock blocking players too...

As an example of the above, EQ2 had the prismatic quests shortly after their launch. It was a long, time consuming quest, some solo parts, some group parts. When it was done, you got an awesome weapon or held item. At the time, those were the best looking weapons one could obtain aside from raid...

Exactly!!

I'm certainly not advocating returning to archaic mechanics, but my issue with FTP is all the stuff that's cool looking that is sold on the store used to be in game drops. A long series if quests led to this epic awesome weapon or mount that had particle effects and stood out from the common...

Does that mean Mughal is a fake and is really Tyen?

From the alpha, I'd say they have a solid game. Its not new by any stretch of the imagination. It seems to be a group based game at least like FFXI at higher levels with a job system that is good also. I am so bored with other MMOs, I'll give this another go on principle. Especially with how...

Way to miss the point of what I actually said. I didnt claim SWTOR had 12-20 character models. Im talking about why they have humanoid character models. And I am also making a point about gear design in MMOs in general. To reiterate, you can do one of 2 things with gear design: 1. Make...

And they probably have papedoll designs that allow the artists to only design 1 set of armor that scale to anybody size...just like I said. That is the way it has to be done in order to put out gear at a decent pace. But even still, all wow models are humanoid. They dont have any models in...

I didnt say its not possible. Its one of those early designs of a game that needs to be planned for. If not, you get what I described above.

What was your objection to what I said?

I'm not particularly fond of this game or EA, but from a character model perspective, if they used unified character bodys, it's supposed to let them design gear faster. So if they make a new set of armor, it automatically fits all character models. The alternative would be to have 12-20...

No. 1.0 was terrible. Absolute dog shit. This 2.0 version is light years better. Combat is better but slower paced. Graphics are better. Most importantly, you can fucking JUMP. that shit is huge lol!

If you're only gonna run with 1 graphics card, I'd say go matx on the mobo and get a silverstone tj-08e case. I have a 3570k, 8 gigs ram, 2 570s, 120 gig ssd, and 2 hdd in mine. All components stay cool. I use an h60 in push/pull. I have the CPU overclocked to 4.4 ghz and temps are fine. If...

2 shitty games? I should've went and worked some overtime. This is some bullshit! Fucking Obama!

And Dalton can't make a fucking pass without staring at the receiver for 10 secs

Schaub is really overrated. If this was Brady or Manning, this would be a blowout.

And how long did that "unique" skillset last before every little Timmy had the same one and it was FOTM? Skill based games are not what I'm talking about. I'm addressing games that already have a class structure, like EQ. The tacked on PVP doesn't work in those games because the classes are...
