Random UO anecdote #1 Thankfully, Garriott had little to do with UO, else I doubt it would've turned out as well.

I pity the youth of today.

Yeah that'd surely be an improvement, but it's still an unsuitable concept regardless the representation. It'd make sense in a vehicle-based game (e.g. mechs), but not one in which the player is flesh and blood. Humans don't spend time managing the operational status of their limbs when they're...

The only thing more fun than a cooldown management simulator is an HP bar one. This game is going places.

The greasier the shit, the easier it goes up in flames. Those are the only ashes I expect to be created by this venture.

Apparently he had to pass the "entrance" exam first.

So what you're saying is that they're too incompetent to realize that they've bit off more than they can chew.

EQ went from concept to release in under 3 years with a similar team size, less than half the budget, and without an off-the-shelf engine, middleware, and sundry other technological improvements that have streamlined the dev pipeline of online games over the last two decades. These guys are...

Mischaracterizing your petty outrage as a struggle against "thieves" in order to influence public opinion is just a different means to the same end. Heed Remmy's warning lest you too fall victim to that nefarious Icelandic crime ring known as CCP!

Guy accuses others of being liberal commie SJWs only to take a page right out of their playbook by going the public defamation route.

Careful, you don't want him going all Higher Learning on us.

BOARDING SUCCESSFUL! +100 doubloons! 50% ship hull repaired! "That's what I love about these high-quality games, man... I get older, they stay the same garbage."

Foregoes Kickstarter and Steam Early Access only to sell it directly through their website. Perfectly normal, nothing suspicious to see here.

If you believe that sort of treatment is gonna turn someone gay, then you have to concede that conversion therapy is just as likely to turn them back, which is demonstrably untrue.

So it's true, masturbation does make you go blind after all.

This is exactly the sort of system they're going to spend early dev time on because its only purpose is to milk players of more money.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shroudoftheavatar/comments/6daj1l/russian_investors_put_up_cash_and_get_4_of_sota What a greasy shitshow. Only Garriott-related project I'd back is one that launches Lord British back into space. One-way.

Beneath the janky movement and stilted animations and annoying combo popup windows, I see: a cooldown management sim. Another year, another MMO repeating the same dumb conventions.

Smarten the fuck up: it's not training that's the problem (although the devs disagree because they're trying to eliminate it), it's that absurd scenarios like the one Lumi described are commonplace in this game owing to the blindly ad hoc rules governing it. AO's devs have a purely reactionary...

Bombers in the Wing Commander series were heavy fighters strapped with torpedoes that were necessary to slice through the shields of capital ships. Bombing runs involved a vulnerable crawl toward the target, waiting for torpedo lock while contending with support fighters and point defenses...

The game is riddled with special-case rules and mechanics they implemented to stop "exploits" yet manage only to open new avenues for them. The one thing AO really excels at is creating sheer frustration and disbelief in its players as it violates every reasonable assumption of how a game...

I feel like we should retire the term "launch" in this era of paid-access perpetual alpha tests because the whole process is more like witnessing a drunk lurch up the stairs of his apartment building only to collapse outside his door than watching a precision-engineered rocket escape Earth's...

ffs

GoT most torrented show ever = consumers loving King Arthur in 2017.

Says May 16th. Probably a new race. They've already got bipedal deer and hamsters, lizard people are passe, WoW did pandas first, so my money's on a birdman since they like to recycle ideas from Shadowbane. Whatever it is, tomorrow there'll be another reason not to buy this game.

Yeah, it really is. The fact that the devs are eschewing a conventional system of character advancement but not considering permadeath tells me that they don't have the brains, let alone the balls, to do the wild west theme any justice.

The founding principle upon which every generic crowdfunded MMO destined to failure is built.

It'd be a nice change of pace to see a project that was an outright scam for once instead of just an abject failure.

Activist thought process: "Let's equate vicious prehistoric predators that should all be destroyed to domesticated herbivores because it'll evoke more sympathy for the latter." They can't convey the simplest message without managing to fuck it up.

Paying some camwhore to diddle herself likely a better investment than backing this game.

Was only a matter of time until crowdfunding degenerated into a platform for MLM. This one smells like another winner, boys.

Because people continue buying the ones that aren't.

Because tablet/phone games still play better with a mouse and keyboard.
