Every MMO needs to plan for that future when there are two few newbies in the 3-4 start zones and they need a Mines of Gloomingdeep to bring everyone together. I was never bothered by VG's Isle of Dawn having better loot than the original starting areas - it served the same purpose you're...

Balance is the shibboleth of MMO developers. Did it ever work? And did it ever make an MMO more fun after the Developers picked up the nerfbats? People need to accept that classes can't be balanced and just pick one they find fun to play. What developers can do is give classes "something"...

You're forgetting the necessity of 8 1/2 pound headphones to go along with your Rift.

I'm going to guess that playing a game with ten pounds of shit on your head is not going to be as fun as it seems, especially the third time you hit your head against the cabinet. Also, I don't think the Rift has Picture-in-Picture so how are you going to watch Superbowl XLXI while playing...

I come back from my cheerios and grapefruit this morning to find out chivalry is not dead on rerolled! Awesome, I sure hope Quaid gave you her favor for the jousting tournament tomorrow. Good 'On Sir Zzeris. Zounds!

No - that just subjects the monk to a mean RNG which is never good. As I said, better to think of it as Jedi Mind Tricks (or Psychic Neuralizer) than Human Opposum. You can keep using the JMT/Neuralizer and they'll keep forgetting you're there. Though I'm fine with a class of mobs (undead...

Quaid is just trolling this thread at this point. Why? Well apparently he got his panties into a bunch because in NTOV his shitty guild with shitty pullers made him wait 20 minutes so his beer went stale or maybe they made him spill his beer when they shouted "incoming" in chat - not clear on...

Meh I'd rather see Druid ravenform, or Rogues with a Safe Climb ability (watching Prince of Persia the movie right now) or punk Red Pandad race. Save the flashy stuff for later. As an aside - it does seem if the kickstarter doesn't hit its stretch goals you could do exactly what someone...

Well if VRI raises 36 million like Star Citizen everything's on the table. I just don't see it happening, their fans are crazy. Edit. Also lol @popsicle, fine form tonight sir, fine form. I take it you've finished your first fifth already

Yeah I'm not a fan of the "be all you can be mentality" of Rift (and apparently current WoW). People on this thread have an identity with their EQ (and VG) classes that they didn't have with WoW. I played a WoW priest for about a year - latter half as a shadowpriest. For all intents and...

Lol. You are confusing me with someone else. I never raided in EQ (well, almost never) I just liked hanging out in a groups with people I knew and when I had time to play: pulling was fun until I wanted to relax and chat, so I'd switch jobs with the SK or Bard or wtf. So much monkophobia...

Now that's funny. Also Rift is bad, m'kay. And you should feel bad for mentioning it in this thread.

/rant on I'm coming to actually hate the Oculus Rift. It started with Butler wearing one in that EQN video and before and since then it seems like every fucking thread on a new MMO has at least ten "will it support the Rift?" posts and I'm like did Oculus VR sell like 5,000,000 rifts when I...

I'm pretty sure it's been asked by others ;-)

See, Brad sees the necessity of the twitter following.

I'd be surprised if it isn't a stretch goal. I like VG crafting/harvesting as well, but it's not as central to an MMO as the adventuring experience and it's something that can be easily added later once they've got monthly subs. But I'd be happy to be wrong.

Maybe if Quaid rolls a bard in Pantheon Lost Ranger and TC will let him into their LGTB guild. And oh yes, the B stands for Bard.

Which one of them should have the max burst dps serverwide?

Another vote for targetable NPCs. I wouldn't roll on a PvP server, but I certainly hope you get one, as that means Visionary Realms had a successful kickstarter.

There is your first problem: no monk.

Lol.

What class did you play again? Enchanter?

it's not about whether they are good or bad it's about market penetration. Eqn twitter has 19.5k accounts, that is far less than the total people interested in the game but is representative of wider mmo market penetration. Blizz Warcraft account has 410k following, showing much greater market...

Brad already said otdt was going in.

Thus my wait for more twitter followers comment. Info about the game hasn't spread that far into the wider MMO community.

All you have said is that its stupid because you think so. You haven't articulated any reason why monks should be emasculated as a class so enchanters can feel even better about themselves.

The hate is strong in this one. Good. Gooood.

Meh. You should wait until pantheonrotf twitter is at least 1,000. That's a good proxy for how far and wide news has spread about the game. You want a really good day one on kickstarter.

lol. It's a mechanic that works, you just don't like it. You not liking something doesn't make it a bad mechanic. You tried to argue that it doesn't make sense in a fantasy world, because you don't like it. I'm just pointing out that there are lots of justifications for it in a fantasy world...

So you hated Star Wars then?

Class? No. Every race? No. Okay with job/profession. Gnomes tinker. Red pandas pirate.

How about calling it Embrace Stillness? Instead of FD. And we think of monks as being so in touch with the mystic force underlying the universe that they can bend and manipulate that energy, affecting the minds of weaker willed species. You know, like a boss Jedi. That also explains why the...

Tuco stealing your thunder LegumeGen?

Yeah he did not have what we call "the good listening skills.". Brad at least admitted some of his mistakes with VG. I don't recall Salim doing the same. That's the main reason I'm cutting Brad some slack with Pantheon. If Salim is on the team he needs to issue a mea culpa to the VG community.

Yep. He is not well liked. It wouldn't stop me playing as long he wasn't involved in lore or major design decisions outside of crafting. When he wad just working on VG crafting he was fine. You can find some of his old interviews on the net. But he got arrogant and unfunny when he became lead dev.

Tuco just likes fucking around with his admin privileges. No restraint, that one has. -Yogurt.

Linkedin still says SOE. Hopefully he sticks to crafting if he is on Pantheon. VG crafting in beta. The kamelott, kdw, content he added post acquisition was awful.

The pantheonrotf site is now owned by their company. Though I still want to know if Salim is affiliated with this game, if so he needs to be whacked in the head if he starts trying to "be funny" with lore, quests or NPC names. @Sgrant: the kamelott shit was never funny or even mildly amusing.

Don't go Jeff Butler on us (flipping out about needing clerics at SOELive). If you take out pulling you have to replace it with something else.. Spazzy AI, lots of cc, whatever. There is nothing wrong with one or two classes doing X best (tank, heal, cc, pull, etc) and other classes only able...
