    Black Desert

    It takes a bit of getting used to. But once your finger memory starts kicking in it's awesome (dude). I know playing a sorc was all kinds of rough for me at first. I usually play the slow methodical tank types. Now things just flow, and mobs die instantly. It's pretty cool. edit: I would...

    Yeah, we were pissing about this in guild chat yesterday. Just great. Was ok with not buying the cash shop costumes since they didn't have meaningful stats and the in game gear looks good enough. Would probably buy one if it looked cool though. But I sure as hell don't want to be forced to pay...

    Guild Wars 2

    Yep. HoT outright destroyed WvW, it's empty as a tomb and their "queues" are a lie. Jade Quarry has a queue to get into the main map in WvW but once in you realize there are only 5 other people in the whole map. And nobody every plays the new map. Fucking morons. The rest of HoT is pretty...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    Cool. I had a feeling you might get it back, been there got fucked like that. At least NCSoft does right eventually, even though it takes them so long. What sucked as much as being banned wrongfully is all the idiots who assumed I was guilty just because NCSoft's over zealous ban bot...

    Choose your skills wisely. Respecs are expensive, as in real dollars.

    Black Desert

    My sorc is still low level but she is not your typical mmo magic wielder. Lots of in your face attacks. Some range also, but you can't rely on it. I love it, but usually play warrior type classes. So the up close and personal stuff works for me.

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    NCSoft banned me in Guild Wars 2 right after the release. Took me two fucking weeks to get my account back. Man I was pissed. They have a very wide net, and it catches a lot of people who don't deserve it. Keep at them. They have to have a human being investigate the actual details and it...

    Edit UI in the menu usually fixes the other issues. Click on the eye button if you lose the mini-map etc. Just a fyi

    Black Desert

    Yeap.. was moving during CBT2. Missed the earlier betas, jumped on the bandwagon too late. Having a lot of fun exploring though, map and the weird game mechanics. Don't know how this is going to work in the long run but I sure do love how different his game is. Been a long time since a mmo felt...

    Black Desert

    Don't think it really matters that much. This game is just weird with the rules and such. They went out of their way to make the NA/EU release a non grief / first to endgame doesn't win game. Or at least they tried to. Players will figure out how to game the system pretty quickly. But for...

    Guild Wars 2

    WvW was utterly destroyed by HoT and the idiocy of Mike O'Brien's love of metrics. What a f'ing tard. They have a major revamp of WvW coming, but it won't be out till summer / fall. And given their history, I don't hold out much hope for it. They haven't released any details. Other than...

    Whoa, what a cluster.. Tip for the character name process (not family). If you push the button and nothing is happening then it seems to mean the name is taken. After trying different names it worked fine. Wasted a bunch of time figuring that out.

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    New mmo, bored. I don't regret my purchase. Mmo's, even the bad ones, usually occupy my time much more than any single player game so I generally feel they are worth the price. And BnS isn't bad. But except for the combat and decent art, it is fairly mediocre.

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    The gold seller spam on the OFFICIAL forums is hilarious. As much as I love the combat in this game, the lack of attention from NCSoft means I probably wont be playing past my premium expiration date. Edit: To be fair. They did delete these posts. But I still don't have much...

    EQ Never

    The kids don't even know what EQ is and the die hards are old... and will be dying off soon. There is still a market for EQ just like there is a market for any mmorpg. People still play them even if they don't innovate. But the name has very little value as a IP brand at this point, the...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    2 faction PvP games never work in NA. We are born and bred to take advantage of the easiest path to the highest reward (which matches evolution btw). Eastern culture has a different approach (that works very well for them) and consequently makes 2 faction games possible because the players take...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    It might be related to connection issues. I know my IP has been shit lately. Haven't bothered calling them because I'm moving in a couple of weeks. But it happened last again night at the very first tutorial where I had to build up focus, and then fire off the right button. No timing needed...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    Yeah, this happens a lot in the tutorials, occasionally something gets buggered up. Played every class up to level 10 or so and it was very annoying at first. Easiest way to fix it is to run out of range and lose agro / let the mobs reset (don't leave the dungeon). Then it usually works first...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    Love the ingame screenshot viewer. Being an altaholic makes me schizo in this game, so many combos.. I screenshot the combos in the tutorials and can pull them up anytime for whatever class I'm playing that session. Saves me a lot of google time. I realize the combos are fluid in this game...

    Won't be able to truly tell if it's P2W till it's been out a while. So far they seem very aware of how much the NA crowd hates that crap and are designing it accordingly. As for getting old, that's true of pretty much every mmo PvE or PvP, at least for me. I buy early because of the new game...

    Yeah, I understand where you are coming from UT. But given a choice between risking my money or someone else's, I would always use the other guy's.

    Black Desert

    15 hours sounds good, and for my playtime that is a few days. Don't mind questing (or grinding mobs) if it's not the main focus. Still unsure about the endgame PvP. It sounds like Guild vs Guild stuff, which is fun if done correctly. Has anyone experienced it in this game? Or is it still just...

    Black Desert

    Wasn't going to play this game, but I wasn't going to do BnS either. On a whim, bought BnS for the headstart and am actually enjoying it, pleasant surprise. So after a little research it's my impression that you can't PvP in Black Desert until level 50, but it only takes a few days to get...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    There are various polls around that all show BM as the most popular class. Admittedly they are not recent, so perhaps that isn't true anymore. On the bottom of those polls is always Destroyer and Summoner.

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    Still figuring this game out, low level etc. Curious why you think BM's are tier 3? Not playing one atm but they are by far the most popular class, which lead me to presume they are one of the better classes.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    WoW is the best mmo of it's type - EQ clone initially and now it's own monster. But after playing EQ for so many years, WoW didnt' do anything for me, I couldn't stand another bear skin fetchit quest. Wish I had tried WoW much sooner, rather than sticking with EQ for so many years. I'm sure I...

    Noticed late last night the waiting message has more info now. It said 824 premium members waiting of 828 total. So buying a premium membership doesn't help you much, for now. After head start is over it will be much more important.

    /shrug It's not my favorite show but it was usually pretty funny to me back when it came out. Haven't seen any episodes the last few years, I just assumed it jumped the shark a while back because it's been on so long. Back on topic. This game actually was pretty good just before the expansion...

    Guild Wars 2

    A little harsh given that GW1 and GW2 are very successful. They have a lot of experience in the mmo arena. HoT needs a lot of work, but the basic zones and tech are fine. The rest is fluff and I assume they will fix it because they have in the past. "Interative development", the GW devs are...
