    Right, ALL those people going on and on about how EQ was the pinnacle of skill. I just can't count how many I have seen in this thread.. no seriously I can't count them, can you link a few for me? I can't wait to shit on their dreams and call them all idiots for wanting something other than...

    Ignore the salty bitches. We have seen enough to be reasonably confident it will actually launch, the question is: do they have the cash to keep going until it is right, and what the timeline for that is. The general consensus floating around the Reddit and their forums is they are shooting...

    Lol, all the 'carriers' are just rape. I learned very early in missions with a mix of vehicle and mech targets that ignoring the mechs and stomping on the vehicles is almost always the right choice. The SRM carriers have like 10 SRM kits on them, the PPC carriers have 3? ppcs on them and the...

    I am guessing you are right in this. Looking at their team roster I am guessing that Chris Rowan was their angel investor that got them this far, but now they actually have a (somewhat) functional model with a decent amount of hype around it, it is pretty safe to say they will probably attract...

    Battletech

    I have been playing a 2X2 strategy on most missions that has worked excellent where I have 2 max armor brawler frontliners (currently a hunchback and a dragon) and 2 distance slingers (catapult and a trebouchet) both of which are not max armor because I trade off some armor for more heat sinks...

    Too add to this, I would love for them to find some way to not diminish having a low level character of those classes in the group after you get buffed by a high level. It was great to have a drive by KEI for the casters and Aug for the melee, but it did foster an environment of everyone just...

    Tower of Time

    It feels a bit more story driven than Aarklash did to me, but the difficulty and character interaction is definitely similar. The characters are also more customizable and the loot more meaningful / distinct than Aarklash as well. I say this as someone who did not finish Aarklash though, so ymmv.

    Tower of Time

    Didn't see another thread on this one. Great game, very Baldur's Gate 2, well done classes, great story. Really really enjoying it. If pauseable real time rpgs are your thing, definitely worth picking up. Enjoying it much more than I did Pillars of Eternity. Tower of Time

    Another decent review out of pax. This guy likens it to FFXI and WoW Vanilla which is not a bad thing. PAX East 2018: Hands-on with Pantheon Rise of the Fallen Here hoping once they actually get some streamers in the game that the feedback continues to be this good when it is less on rails.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I am. Just hit 50 the other day so grinding cps and shards at the moment. Have to admit, I like this game a lot more than I thought I would. Played a bit during its beta and found it to be very bland / clunky, but it has come a long way

    Ashes of Creation

    I like what they are saying, but even more than that, I love their passion as a team. They honestly seem to give a shit about the community. That said, I think 64 classes in a pvp heavy game is going to be an utter shit show from a balance perspective. I really hope they have a slow...

    Yeah, $1000 US (which is like $1300 Canadian funny money) is just too much for me to justify playing in waves and set schedules. I might even consider it if it was persistent given I end up spending that much on other games just waiting for something I want to play to come out, but not to play...

    Lol, I resemble that. Start EQ because I was moving out of province for another job as a way to keep in touch with my gamer geek friends back home in 99-00. I was 25 at the time. Pretty sure that if they had had any idea how many hours I spent printing crap from Allakazam at work they would...

    Then there is no way you believe what you just said. You want to argue that the game play is better for you now than ever, I am glad you find it to your liking, but for me it isn't. To say it plays or feels the same as Vanilla is garbage though. In legion I round up every mob in tether range...

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    No. If you think it is, you didn't play vanilla. It wasn't ANYWHERE NEAR on rails as it is today. There were so many areas in Vanilla where elite mobs roamed and packs were tight and pathed dangerously, fleeing at low health, areas where you could and did actually die. The dungeons, while...

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    That and I never found it to be as crisp and responsive as Wow... in fact, I haven't seen ANY mmo to date that is as responsive as Wow. I am not sure how Pardo and the Blizzard team made their net code, but it is both a thing of wonder and obviously VERY hard to replicate.

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    I doubt you will get many arguments against that - the salt comes from how shitty and mindlessly linear it became, not how it was when it was made. The studio Rob Pardo started (Bonfire) after leaving the Blizzard has been radio silent for a very long time other than doing a lot of hiring and...

    Went back and watched the rest of the stream now. I have to say, I enjoyed Jim and his two friends (who the hell were those guys anyone know?) WAY more than Cohh. I mean, they were pretty terrible just like Cohh, but not nearly as annoying and it was nice to see a non-dps class streamed as...

    Probably the best part of the stream for me was them talking about how the enchanter was helping mana regen by nuking rather than buffing.. when she stopped because she had to chain cc, the mana regen of the party was noticeably slower. It's nice they are at least mixing it up a bit from EQ.

    Yeah Joppa seems decent on both his characters, hard to tell on Convo yet since I have only seen him on the mage but I assume if he comes from these boards he is seasoned enough to not suck as bad as say... Brad.. at the game. I love how at one point in the last one there were two mobs on the...

    Anyone watch Jimlee? The group will still wipe every ten minutes tonight because the devs are mostly terrible at their own game, but it would be nice if we didn't have to deal with Cohh weirdo expressions while it happens

    Yeah, I totally agree. They are making progress, and honestly the game really appeals to me, but they absolutely NEED to find funding to hire a larger team. I mean, if you consider Thronefast and surrounding is one of what, 6 starting cities? Even if they pull a 'Oh the Trolls start in the...

    Not at all true. I have spent countless hours playing Slay the Spire and even back on the old EQ emulators and enjoy the shit out of them despite the horrible graphics. Would it be great if this had smooth animations like Wow with graphics like BDO? Of course. But to say a game is basically...

    Well to be fair, much of that time was him trying to figure out how to keep from bankruptcy and finding a new dealer who would give him coke on credit, rather than making the game. That said, they SEEM to be somewhat on track now.. for a 2021 ish.. release

    Honestly, I like what Pantheon is pitching from a concept perspective, but that needs to be actually developed.

    Seriously have to give them credit on their environments though, they look even better than BDO. Watching some of other streams the combat looks choppy, floaty and shitty, but it is early days. Who knows, if they can actually figure that part of the equation out, it might actually be worth...

    I was in the same boat until I figured out discard decks on silent. Sailed pretty smoothly from 4 to 8 almost exclusively on them. I will say though, if you don't get at least one, preferably 2 footworks going on silent the higher ascends are really pretty ugly. Edit: On Celerity: The thing...

    There are a couple of things I do a lot that seem to make swordplay much easier (bow is really just practice, not really any tricks to it): I tend to use a bow about 80% of the time so the cheap tricks in the spoiler are all I got for swordplay. Not much help, sorry.

    Yeah, I have that one as well.. it sucks -- mostly because I collected the 2 cages I could and they can't be dropped so now I have 4 weight of useless fucking birds in my already strained inventory weight cap. Ah well, hopefully they will fix it eventually.
