If it has elves people will buy it.

Unfortunately, I don't think it will happen. Or at least not until someone wins the AI race (or it completely collapses). Amazon and the rest of the tech lords are all in on AI. Everything else is just a distraction.

Success is somewhat a subjective standard in the mmo industry. There a some who claim that if you don't beat WoW your game is a failure. That's a pathetic metric from pathetic people. Then there are games like EQ still chugging along, making money, and with a bare bones team of devs. I haven't...

Ugg, it's been a really long time. But couldn't you farm wisps or something for a light source at low level in EQ?

QA has been farmed out to idiots (raises hand) that pay for the privilege to test the game for them.

This is just sad. I was watching a recent video about the games with the most players. It was created a bit before New World's closure announcement. New World was in the top ten, with more players than many mmos that are still chugging along, making money and not even close to top ten in player...

I was fine with the original EQ "vision" (oops) that had racial stat differences, good and EVIL, harsh death penalties, xp penalties for ogres, another xp group penalty for being a SK, faction penalties, etc. I even would be fine with boons and penalties for whatever deity you pick. I like all...

Yeaah.. ok. 3 poly models with a couple color filters are not what I am looking for in modern games. That said, for me the classic sk (even with the xp penalty) was my favorite class in any game. And classic servers don't work for me because I hate repeating content over and over. So give me a...

The graphics suck. That is why I haven't followed this game. The only reason I'm interested now is because of the SK class. If the sk game play has a decent resemblance to old school EQ before all the expansions, mercs, etc. Then I can overlook the graphics.

All these crowdfunded games fall into the same trap. Because it's easier to sell hopium than actual product. Star Citizen is just the best at it.

Damn it. Now i have to check it out.

Haven't followed this game at all. Does it have a SK class? With real fd, etc?

The difference between team sizes mostly a function of the differences in computer hardware. Art assets for modern games take much more effort than the original wow team ever had to deal with. And coding today has to deal with all kinds of threats that had never even been conceived 20 years ago...

Been over a year since I logged in. Any real improvements, or pretty much the same glitchy stuff?

Yeah, crafting is very wonky, especially cooking and farming. Tons of fine tuning for them to do in the crafting arena before it is worth the effort. I spent a ton of time figuring out the different professions, and I get what they are trying to do. And if they tune it right, could be really...

Oh man, I can't agree more. But no matter how much they have screwed things up over the years, there is still a queue to get in WvW on the main map during most of the day and a queue for all maps on friday night. Also, whenever I'm in there there are new people playing. It's not perfect by any...

I disagree, but you get worf for making me spit out my coffee.

Interesting video. For those of you who hate the gay, it gets very rainbow around 3/4's in. GW2 is still one of my favorite mmo's but I've always hated it's writing team.

Too bad about the p2w garbage. Expected, but still disapointing all the same. Some streamers I respect say the combat is good. Still going to try this when it hits the west. The video's I've seen bring back strong memories. Doubt I'll last more than a couple of months though. Get some pvp in...

I don't pay attention to the players in the open world, no need to. Everyone works together and gets the events done. And in WvW I don't see the woke stuff, just an endless argument about whatever is the day's political idiocy. And that has always been there, like every other mmo. As for the...

GW2 is getting a lot of streamers and players lately. More than the usual expansion surge. Some from New World obviously, but there is more to it than that. Bunch of videos like the ones below on youtube the last couple of weeks. Kind of weird, since although GW2 has always been popular, it...

Lazy minds get left behind.

Fun game for a little while though.

I don't think the cancellation had much to do with the actual game. There is something bigger going on. Microsoft and Amazon just laid of tens of thousands of employees across all divisions. That isn't a coincidence. They cancelled games and closed studios that have profitable products, just not...

We'll see.

If they shut down xbox hardware then they would also shut down gamepass since the vast majority of xbox game pass subscribers own xbox consoles. Don't see that happening. At least not in the next few years. Game pass is very profitable (according to MS), and central to their current strategy of...

Brad still lives in his head. Which is a sad comment on how pathetic some people truly are.

It's a grind game. You either grind mobs or life skills. PvP use to be a thing, but you have to look for it now. It's not as P2W as it use to be, but if you are impatient to get the best gear then money will flow out of your wallet. If you are very patient then then most pearl items will...

Glad to see they are making progress. They have been silent for quite a while. Lot of people pissed at them, but I think that's part of the reason they went dark. Camelot, Star Citizen, Pantheon, and even LoL's mmo have taken way more time than anyone expected. Making MMO"s is hard I guess.

Our guild went to Aion after Warhammer Online (iirc - long time back). Was a great game in the beginning. The pvp aerial combat was a lot of fun and different. Some of those battles were epic. But we only lasted a few months. Don't recall why people stopped logging in exactly. It just didn't...

Started skipping a lot of the early quest cut scenes, etc. I don't give a fuck about helping some witless people dig better crops or whatever. And especially don't want to read their endless discussions about it. The first portion of the story is so boring that I took a break from it to level up...

Lol. Perfect.. and it kind of describes my experience. Liked the game and felt like I got my money's worth. Although it definitely didn't have the immersive feel of their other games. The quests and characters were very tame. But I really enjoyed stealing ships and then building them. Spent...

I suggest permanently banning people from this thread if they post spoilers.

Interior house graphics are now very washed out and too bright. Kind of sucks

The unfortunate reality of the current version of the NFL, QB's are unicorns that must be babied and PAYED. If they can stand up, they get PAYED.

The sponsors want them to drink Mountain Dew, not blood.

He's was the leader of a successful guild in some game i think. That seemed to work for someone else, can't remember who...

Lot of butt hurt people in here still mad at Brad. They have BDS, Brad Derangement Syndrome.

Being one of the casuals who quit a while back, I've nothing bad to say about the game. The bot thing was kind of ugly, but truthfully it didn't really effect the game experience that much. It just looked weird seeing them do their thing. Especially in the lower level zones. I left partially...

Until I actually get to play the game, none of this hype matters to me. A game can look great, have all the best reviews but that doesn't mean jack if it's a boring mess when you actually play it. I am looking forward to alpha 2. But most mmos (and games in general) are boring garbage and...
