    [WoD] Garrison Optimization Launch Thread

    Inn is medium and Barracks is large. Gotta dump a barn/lumbermill/tradepost for inn. Barracks is still good for the +5 followers though at level 3.

    [WoD] Garrison Optimization Launch Thread

    This is only for the general level 3 buildings (professions). In order to upgrade to Salvage Yard 3 you'll still need to complete the 'Salvaging Pays Off' achievement, which is something like process 100 salvage crates.

    You get patrol missions at Barracks level 1. Barracks 3 gives you +5 follower cap.

    [WoD] Garrison Optimization Launch Thread

    I finally dragged my ass into the dps queue to finish a 'pre-change' quest last night. Finished Skyreach with a bunch of people still on their legendary quest and I didn't even get credit for the last boss on either of my quests. The hunter said he hadn't gotten credit for last bosses on a few...

    The thing about flex is that at some dps point, you do more dps by sitting in your garrison. If the boss goes up 3m when we invite you, if you can't put out 3m dps, the highest dps button you can press is 'leave group'.

    [WoD] Garrison Optimization Launch Thread

    Kill about 5000 rep worth of an invasion type mob, even if they don't give rep. Doing the daily helps, and some invasions are easier to gold than others. Basically any level 100 mob area will work. Me and two friends just farmed botani in northeast Gorgond until the alert popped up on our...

    I got 5 stones from right clicking the cluster on normal Kargath with about 12 people in the group. I have a question about Personal vs Group Loot. We did Kargath normal late last night after servers stabilized, but a few of our core team missed out. We used personal since it's normal. Our...

    I'm pretty sure the petrified ancient has fixed spawn locations. Take a look here:Petrified Ancient - NPC - World of Warcraft I flew to Beastwatch and ran west after looking at that map and he was up in the first spawn area I checked.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    SWTOR made this same mistake, the storyline for the dungeons was completely separate and optional to the main leveling storyline. You hit max level and had no skills to make a group, you felt like you were outclasses and inexperienced. TSW had this problem as well, the 'two games' idea of solo...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Thing is, the comparison is not even apt. Wildstar is balls easy for 50 levels and then hits a 'wall'. The wall is not even that massive, but it definitely is a different flavor from playing a single player ez mode questing game to being thrown into group content with very little upgrades or...

    This was amplified when you had a shared lockout on bosses. You had your fairweather raiders who were just happy to farm normals, your core raiders who wanted to work on heroics and then the floaters with shit attendance. Then you got to fight with them all about whether you should continue...

    I don't think anyone argues that. I'm sure there is all kinds of repurposing and corner cutting going around in game dev on games we've all enjoyed (wasn't the EQ engine originally for a tank game or some shit?). It's more that anyone who has spent more than an hour doing the Unity tutorial...

    That one both has a password confirmation on registration and masks the password entry fields, so it's at least more robust than what was shown in that earlier progress video.

    Half the fun of this forum is attacking people and it's only enjoyable to attack people who react. Thankfully, the 3 odd people who like the game tend to become famous in each thread for their inability to not react at every jab. My experience playing ESO was that it felt like a weaker Elder...

    That cave from the video is the exact underground environment Arcee posted. You can see the same bridge/chasm in the asset video that Arudane walks across in the Pantheon video. I think they did get the zoom tween system in place for their logo at least.

    I'm not sure exactly how to read this, but I'm pretty sure WoW subs peaked during WotLK. 'Incidentally', this is when they added LFD and really iterated on the retarded badge mechanics. I don't recall the 'casuals' being any less happy during Vanilla / TBC just because they wouldn't see...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I'd imagine that it's pretty much all automated and that it's much faster to just attempt the logins and mark the "valid w/authenticator" accounts as such, rather than waste time logging in and gathering a bunch of useless information from people who happen to be standing around you.

    I think the forced first person (since the alternatives were shitty) is understated in its involvement in immersion. That along with character investment and letting me tell my own story. The story based theme park MMOs really disconnect you. I felt about as connected to my character in GW2...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They should have replaced the GCD clock animation with an ATB meter like in the old console Final Fantasy games. When I though of the long GCD in that way, it felt much more Final Fantasy-y. I just wish there was actually a decision to be made during that 2.5 second window.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    Financially, the industry is doing great and it will continue to do so. Really the problem lies in those who don't want the AAA or mass appeal games. Hopefully we're moving to a time when MMORPG is realized to be too broad a label to satisfy the old UO/EQ crowd and the more modern theme park...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    This is really the heart of the issue. It happened in music and movies, and it's happened in games. Games are big business and the ones controlling the promotion are the same ones pimping their soulless, cash grabbing garbage. They are so desperate to cast their nets wide and make the money that...

    Up to 30, the entirety of the launch issues seem to be hardware/server related. Once in game, the game runs great and everything is working. Not sure if post 30 I'll start bumping into mountains of buggy, untested content like in GW2. Dealing with 10 minutes of 1017 lets me play for as long...

    There are seemingly as many servers for JP as all of NA/EU. Are they really expecting that much more demand from a dinky island than from two large, impressive continents?

    EQ Never

    Sounds like TSW or Rift-y style multiclassing. Original EQ limited how many spells you could have memmed at a time, I'm assuming it'll be something similar. You can unlock every ability, but only have 8 up during combat. You can switch abilities out while out of combat.
