    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Rumors and small hints about an Elder Scrolls MMO being in the making have been around for many, many years. And the best they have to show so far is a cgi trailer and a tiny bit of "gameplay" footage which looks pretty damn bad for a game that's supposed to release this year. That is another...

    MMO hardware optimizations (Or lack thereof)

    If you get a "real" gaming laptop you can chose between being able to cook your lunch on them, enjoy your fans making an effort in trying to mimic a launching jetfighter, or you get both. None of that is very appealing to me. On top of that, a laptop is less forgiving when you need to replace...

    MMO hardware optimizations (Or lack thereof)

    Oh yes, please let us all use phones, tablets and integrated graphics cards, so we can play flashgames from 10 years ago, AGAIN AND FOREVER. BUT OH BOY IS THE FUTURE MOBILE! I seriously hate this bullshit. If you're not interested in video games, then don't play them. Get another hobby, or...

    MMO hardware optimizations (Or lack thereof)

    Isn't it pretty much always the exacte opposite? Many games tend to stress your setup, even if they shouldn't; but the games aren't optimized and don't make proper use of your hardware.

    Guild Wars 2

    The guild missions happened. They were supposed to be a rather big, juicy part of new content. In order to get to them though, you need Art of War V to even get started and then multiple, new ranks of guild upgrades. To really get this going, we're talking most likely about influence in the...

    Guild Wars 2

    So, anyone still playing this? The new patch is a pretty big fuck-up, at least from a PvE point of view. The game which touted its horn for bringing people together, seems to find new ways of fragmenting it's playerbase on a monthly basis.

    Vicodin, Cigarettes, and My Fake Tits - from the diary of the Megan Fox of Ohio

    Awesome thread. If only half of it is true, i'm surprised about Ravs short-sightedness though. She is obviously good at what she does, but you don't shit where you eat, damn it.

    I do, it made a loud noise and started to trample over me. And visceral is the new epic. It sounds like guts and blood, so it's really fucking cool.

    Well, if you take a look at about any kind of console port, you can probably guess what we're in for. The console will always be the lowest common nominator, so the game will be built for that first.

    Haven't played in a few months. So i get back into it, start leveling a necro and realise, there still is no LFG utility whatsoever. I assume there's no matchmaking system for the fractals either? And if so, how do you get started if the whole process is split up by people being on different...

    Well, the game has random loot and that can play a pretty big part. I had characters were even Brutus was a painfull and slow experience and then he dropped a rare weapon which tripled my paperdoll dps. On my most recent character, a frost witch, i wore a evasion helm all the way up to level 38...

    Impire (dungeon Keeper clone)

    Wish i wouldn't have seen this. The game's being released by Paradox, which means "Great idea, really low funding, shitty-ass broken release product that's lacking polish and 2 more years of development". I really don't get it, they have so many potentially nice games, but they either don't...

    Oh no, they won't come out of the woodworks to shill their game to us, whatever are we going to do? Rid yourself of this laughable notion that any kind of dev comes to this, or any other forum, to discuss what he should/shouldn't do in his game. And Firefall is just bad, the game has...

    When the OB started, quite a few people were saying that summoners aren't as good anymore as they used to be, especially come act 3. How did that work out for you, really annoying or quite doable?

    I went with my axe ranger, finished act 3 normal yesterday and got to level 35. All things considered, i'm taking another break from the game. The loot system in groups is just stupid, there's no excuse for it. I'm not just complaining about items i may have lost, but it's just disruptive and...

    Well Swagdaddy is mostly an idiot, so don't mind him too much. Yes, Vanguard has some tacked-on 10 bear-asses quest, but as it has been mentioned; you ignore these and do the group-zones, which are nothing like a WoW clone. Shit i don't even want to argue this point, Vanguard has many faults...

    What are you using for skills on the melee witch? So far i've only ever used spells or sweep/heavy strike on a marauder. I thought cleave for example and dual strike, but then i saw people complaining about cleave being to slow etc.

    Ok, it's kinda impossible to gauge what's outdated in the official forums and what's not; guess i should have played a bit before the OB. So, dual wield axe ranger, can it be done?

    I don't know how some of you can put up with hardcore right now, i keep getting disconnected or killed while i'm zoning. Think i'll wait another week or so, seriously annoying to play at the moment. And act 3 is suffering, maybe it's time for a cold witch.

    My bank situation is getting out of hand with all these crappy rares. So before i try to make some room; if i can't match two items who're exactly the same by name, or sell a set of "one for each slot", then there's not point in keeping them?

    Exactly the same, the group experience i was complaining about in an earlier post happened in the pyramid. Huge fps drop, sluggish reaction to anything, pretty awful and something i did not have in the past beta tests.

    This quote merely means it's the most successfull f2p SOE game which was f2p right from the start. And half a million people logging in into a free game on a weekend when it was relativley new is nice, but most likely the biggest number they could drum up. So SOE is either the first company...

    I wonder about that, he is obviously saying it right now. But how successful is PS2 really? I don't follow the game much, i just read bits and pieces about people saying there's a pretty noticeable drop in population.

    What? They're even mentioning it in the video, how they made sure the art-style is in line with the previous elder scrolls titles. And if you look at the environment, they did that; the rocky river scene looked just like something out of sykrim. It's just that the characters look like ass...

    Agreed, can't wait for this PR hype to blow up in their faces. SOE just does not have it in them to make another good game, EQ was an accident or sheer luck and the first of its kind.

    Yep, same for me, game crashes on startup, steam initializing failed. Also, avast suspects the client to be malware and will run it in sandbox mode initially. Might be worth looking into, before some people freak out.

    I don't get that either, especially in a game like Vanguard which caters to a lot of "old-school" mmo players. I never really had problems with leveling, it is actually very easy to skip or outlevel other dungeons once you find a group and crawl through one for some hours. And the item rarity...
