    I don't know about you, but I read the ESO article they wrote months ago and I thought it was the best written fluff piece I've ever read about a computer game. Hell, their review made ESO sound better than Skyrim!

    After i got control of my account again I logged on two weeks ago. There were major lag issues on that particular day so I waited to log on yesterday night. Does it feel like they nerfed Stormtalon? I was kinda enjoying the slog and wipes even with the pug players but now I come back and it...

    Yeah the tutorial isn't as bad as ESO's, but it's certainly a fucking drag when doing it on alts. i think the whole "Lawl, better learn our game by the time you reach lv 40, noob!" mentality from the devs really backfired on them. The tutorial is stupid easy and formuliac. If you fight mobs your...

    OK so i didn't log in the last weekend but I just tried to log in this Sunday afternoon and I get "Unhandled NC Platform error 15" and can't log in. I tried to log into the forums and it says my account has been permanently blocked? I'm not sure if this has already been talked about in this...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    You guys rolled on AD? L-M-A-O. For a game that only has one decent feather in it's cap (PvP,) you just reduced the meaning of participating in it to Tarren Mill levels. Truth. But then again PvP in MMO's is inherently flawed. At least if you are on the underdog side you get recognized...

    Rocket house wasn't an option for me either but I wasn't expecting that until release. I saw one person on a dinosaur looking mount in Thayd. Maybe that's one of the 10g mounts.

    I think its a number of factors. - I didn't play all of the time on my main but I did play him since the stress test weekend (3 weekends.) - I'm a spellslinger and cloth seems to drop like candy like the above poster said. You can salvage them for cores or vendor them for money to spend on...

    We got hoverboards during the closed beta weekends but I dont think they mail you them anymore at lv 10.

    The crafting was casual and fun for me. If you casually harvest resources as you quest and grind, and salvage a good amount of vendor trash, you should be fine. I've used crafted weapons almost the entire time from 12-17 and I'm able to make lv 29 weapons atm. I really don't know what more you...

    2048 - A blatant clone of Threes. Play Threes instead.

    Want me to delete the thread then? I didn't think it would be that big of a deal.

    I don't know. Call me crazy but if these said chests gave me power cores of a specific level to craft with, maybe i'd consider buying a key every so often. of course something like that could be perceived as an unfair crafting advantage.

    I don't really have an opinion on the armor but I do think it's hillarious. Do you guys think they will have shirts on them underneath or will they really go for the bare chested bdsm style? In an effort to try and derail this gay pride train, here's a picture of the new bed I put in my house...

    Aw shucks! We almost forgot that this was an NCsoft game, guys! It doesn't matter if this is conditioning or not. If the game goes f2p, they will be adding mystery boxes to the mix the moment they do.

    Well the rest of the game is growing on me slowly other than the housing. There are are only a few minor bugs here and there so I can keep going. There are just too many quests so people complaining about the game being too bland are suffering from Carbine deciding to go with quantity over...

    The housing is a blast. Finding cool decor and adding challenges to your property adds some interesting side content. Plus being able to invest and upgrade shit gives you another thing to do to outdo your friends and make them jealous over virtual property. My one esper healer friend is mad...

    While I agree with both of you, I have to acknowledge what he's saying about Tera. For me Tera combat was great and also SWTOR's companion system kinda ruined other mmo's for me. I honestly think some sort of companion system should be used in every mmo's. Even games like EQ1 are soooo much...

    Warriors gets the most solid tier upgrades I've heard. I'm happy the game is performing better now. Hopefully they will keep optimizing. As for the UI, they still need to better label group members and stuff like ability trainers. Having a generic white dot for towns and groupmates is...

    It was a dota 2 update. You ever played TF2? You know those chests you could open for $2.50 each? Well we have had them in Dota 2 for awhile now. I'm a random player so i play all 100+ heroes and I have a general interest in all of the cosmetic items. My most valuable item might be worth over...

    I'm right there with you but for some reason I couldn't find the place to put the code in. Oh well. That was less of a travesty than what happened with me on the Dota 2 steam market tonight. Woo boy. Fuck Valve... in a good way I guess.

    I actually thought it was a video about stalkers lacking AoE damage, thus being worthless. I guess that speaks volumes about the readability of the game. I am starting to think that telegraphs should automatically become transparent or just plain muted in larger fights. Wouldn't that make...

    The video reminded me of Tarren Mill or Crossroads PvP when Vanilla WoW first hit. Of course that shit was a new and fresh experience back then. Feeling like a god just because I was sitting there casting Rain of Fire was pretty fun. Of course that was a god damn decade ago so I doubt mass PvP...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    These beta weekends are nothing more than a farce. If any one of you actually believed that these beta weekends were going to help the launch of this game, I'm not sure what to say. Did you fill out a survey to help these devs out? Do you think they went over your feedback? Oh? They did go...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    It is pretty unforgivable but what would intrigue me the most would be if someone was to tell me that the lv 17+ quest content was bug free. Can anyone tell me with a straight face that the later lv content is bug free when main questlines in the first portion of the game are broken on a regular...

    Shame on you. You aren't supposed to say that TESO has absolutely nothing modern in its design. Look at what you have done!? And yeah, I'm not going to say Wildstar did anything super modern either. But hey! It will forever be known as "that telegraph MMO."

    If I have to summarize Wildstar based upon everyone's responses in this thread... - The classes are completely hit or miss. You either like them or you hate them. Period. WoW spoiled all of us so this will make or break the entire game for you since it's general design is similar to WoW's...

    Call me a TESO hater but I have to give some props to Carbine for at least showing off their content pretty openly. The higher level content has been there. They haven't tried to hide it. I can actually talk to people that have played it and hear about the bad and the good. When it comes to...

    Right now I'm thinking that I will pre-order to see some of this huge patch. If the performance still blows then I will just cancel. i've heard the patch made it better but I'm still skeptical. I had a lot of fun the first weekend but the 2nd wasn't very magical. Maybe because I went and tried...

    Do you think the optimization will happen by then? Keep in mind my expectations are already pretty low so I'll probably take the bait if the game runs half decent.

    This isn't a case like ESO's where the release is around the corner. I'm not complaining about the issues but if they aren't resolved by release I just won't be buying it. I was salvaging a bunch of cloth items today and the screen froze for 5 seconds after every salvage. I logged off to play...

    If this game doesn't become better optimized, I won't be buying it. I was hoping to hold out and buy a steam box when they get released, but still I'm getting completely unplayable rates of FPS while playing Wild*. I play other recent games just fine. Even though I'm not interested in ESO in the...

    Botting is accepted in EQ1 because it generates a lot of free revenue for SoE. Nothing more and nothing less. The game is old so why would the dev's care about a practice that makes them more money for doing nothing? A good handful of raids in EQ1 can be done with bots or your raid can be...

    Not really, but the guy hasn't been "wrong" about any other shittastic MMO's that we have discussed on this forum for the past decade. He still hasn't gotten all of his internets back from after the Vanguard debacle. The man deserves his reparations. It doesn't take Nostradamus to predict...

    It's been mentioned several times in different places and it's been talked about on the beta forums. Basically if you have been in the internal beta (not weekends) and you dont have at least one lv 32 character by a non-descript date, you will get purged. I'm guessing their reasoning behind this...

    The game is fun and better than I expected. I can appreciate the direction they are taking the game. I posted about them changing the spawn timers on Baldir and Cindara on the beta forums and reddit. Once they change those I think S2 is in good shape. Add me if you guys like. You should go...

    The tournament has been fun, even though synderen casting has been pretty crappy. I kind of expect that level of casting from Sunsfan and I automatically give him a pass. It would be a lot more entertaining with reaves casting honestly.

    Elder Scrolls Online - Nightblade Gameplay (Bow / 2h) - YouTube Might shed some light on that situation... Stop defending a fanboy. You seem to think well-written posts from guys like me are an example of someone trying too hard. Can't go both ways, buddy.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Let's be honest with ourselves though. Not many MMO's provide a world that's open ended or that's immersive enough to warrant that kind of exploration. I can't help but think that themepark MMO's are just a bi-product of a sad reality. That reality being that it takes too much effort, time and...
