I would say if you are mostly PvE oriented, you can not go wrong with a Necromancer if you want to breeze through open world content on your way to level 80. 5 minions specced for toughness, damage and healing you, and then off course the Shroud to save your butt in so many instances, while...

This is very true. To name one thing, the aggro system has a depth that adds a lot to combat, especially in a Dungeon. Social aggro, proximity aggro, aggro radius, aggro-transfer, then add the various Crowd Control tools(Lull, Mez, Harmony, Memblur etctera), that add to the tactics and you...

Indeed. It is the nauseating locked animation that is still the biggest red flag to me in that video. Who on earth would think that that is even remotely fun or realistic or adding anything to gameplay/immersion. I keep telling myself that it is a bug of the Engine that they haven't come...

Hey! I used to be fine with this: But yeah, I've gotten lazy over the years. Not sure if the world of Stash is worth mapping out like that by hand though. :) (I opened the pages of the old Freeport for extra saltiness)

I am sure it will have one or two of the features that I dearly want in a MMO. The other 17 features that I want are still spread among a dozen existing MMO's. The sad thing is, some of my "must have" features are undoubtedly conflicting with each other, so there's no winning for a MMO-devteam...

That is my problem with how the development is progressing with Star Citizen: they have released an FPS and a Spacecombat module, that still can not compare to other offerings, both released (for instance Planetside 2) and in early access on steam (Angels Fall First, others) yet the part that...

I tried it and it could be fun. I am missing a Map though, seems there isn't one. The graphics of the landscape seem a little barebone. I am assuming Combat will become pretty tactical at some point. There also seems a nice building component. I am really missing that map though, I need an...

I agree that a new TLP server should differentiate itself from previous installments. I like your list there, exept for the PvP. :) However, they truly lost me when they nerfed quest-xp across the board. This was DB's lazy way to prevent players from abusing a couple of hand-in quests, like...

They haven't produced anything playable yet. They have been creating mockups and eyecandy and mostly worked on getting up a Store, to try to keep the funding going, spurred on by dreamy blogs about cool features. And they have been shopping around for a publisher without success. Now they are...

Predicting the fail of a new MMO isn't exactly something that has bad odds and deserves credits, but still . This truly was a Star Citizen wannabe with a much worse "fleece the whales" campaign.

I feel that with every new sale, they are undermining an important pillar of this MMO, which is an interesting Economy, based on delving, looting and salvaging materials from the Universe. All the rest ties into this: exploration, transportation, manufacturing and the dangers that come with...

42 minutes of Vista's. Can I kill those Squids at the end and get some loot? Need mobs to kill and nodes to mine ---> loot ---> transport ---> tradehub/auctionhouse ---> earn money ---> buy better stuff --->Economy---> now we have a game. That is the "gameplay" I am waiting for.

Haha, that video is great, exactly the thing I raved about here: Star Citizen Online - The search for more money I simply can not understand that there isn't some producer who realizes that nobody needs that shit, other then a couple of reality weirdos. It almost seems to me that they are...

A+ for sarcasm. :)

I got sucked into doing the Collection for the Legendary Trinket, Aurora. I had read up on it a bit, and I was like "no way" especially because of needing some Achievements that I am usually pretty bad at (like, don't get hit with the Boss AE during a story instance) but now that I have gotten...

I dunno, new MMO's all start to feel kinda samish once they have been through the balancing grinder Absolutely. After release, the vehicles needed a lot of work, but the game pretty much was abandoned by the devs right after. One thing I hated was how the car engines sounded, very anemic. I...

Mad Max. I want Auto Assault back! So much fun wrecking entire cities with your weaponized car. It was a shallow game, lots of stuff wrong with it, but I feel the post-apocalyptic, motorized theme has not been fully explored yet. Especially the Motorized part. Wheel of time, could make it...

These features just beg for a revival of Smell-o-vision.

I am usually trying to not be too much of a fanboi but I feel I have to stick up for HoT here. Thing is, I felt the same hate when I first entered HoT, after having a blast in the original. It was like hurdles to the fun had been thrown up in so many ways: hugely confusing maps, lots of movement...

It sounds unbelievable but it is true. The ship that has the annoying airlock under its hull is a Mustang Alpha. The "USE" of the door of the Aurora is a little easier to find but it is still clunky. For instance, the "USE" icon, once you manage to evoke it by standing in the right spot, is...

Yeah, the featurecreep is not even my greatest worry, it is the fact that they seem to be completely oblivious to feedback about stuff like having to sit through a ridiculous and nauseating *locked* animation with everything you do. To name one thing. The clunkiness and unresponsiveness are...

This first pic was when a weird bug happened with items offered in the bazaar. You see the stats of the Cold Iron Bracer which are all messed up: way too high for the era. Skilmod Dodge of 75% is insane too. The effect is mentioned on ZAM (Alla's) but not linked to any item so I am thinking it...

The whole thing still feels incredably clunky and early techdemo. Logged into Crusader, got out of my booth enduring that *horrible* locked animation where your viewpoint goes all over the place following your headmovements, ran into a wall and clipped right through into Outer Space. /quit...

Well, that was at least 5 dollars worth of funny. :D I got an email today about another shipsale, the Aegis Eclipse Stealth Bomber. I am sure some people will jump on this stuff but all I can ask is; Bombing? Stealth? How? When? And also, why? Please explain me why I should want a Stealth...

Ouch, so shapeshifting? I don't like that at all. Too Druidic for my taste, I love my pet being a separate entity that I can control to wreak havoc. :) I am lazy so if I shapeshift, I have to do it all myself. :( Somebody at Anet must love Druids.

Awesome, thanks for the leaks. Looks like Soulbeast will be the new Elite Spec for Ranger, and seems to revolve around the pet, looking at the Icons of the skills. Nice! Never liked Druid, always wanted more pet Power. It also looks like some of the Mount Masteries will make travel a bit less...

I wonder what they will do with mounts. Getting around Tyria is pretty easy with all the waypoints and speedbuffs. The most annoying thing about getting around (especially in HoT) is the constant aggro you get, especially by mobs that have a ranged attack, so if being Mounted would avoid that...

Oh, I agree with that, if those things I mentioned do not come together in a working Economy then there is no use. I worded it poorly. And getting an interesting Economy is the hard part: I also have no idea how that will look in a game with "thousands of planets" and such. I know they are...

As long as I can not mine an Asteroid for precious metal, fill my Holds, bring it back to a Hub, sell it on a local market and see my profit in the bank, I will not consider this a game. Even with a hundreds Planets to explore, with hundreds of Outposts(Procedurally generated), with the most...

Ah, the promise of Naval Combat. I'm out.

Last two posts sum it up for me. Love the world, hate the combat. And unfortunately the latter is so important that I never got a character further then level 32 or so. I have a Lifetime account from day 1, I must have accumulated like 30k Lotro points or so by now. I have been thinking of...

To be honest, the passive skills training seems something I could embrace. I always kinda hated it when I had to "work" for experience, since I am so bad at grinding. This is one of the things I liked about Pathfinder Online system. Pay a monthly fee, accrue a set amount of xp per month that...

Yes, though they tweaked it so that you can avoid the random popping up of the skills you slotted, but at the cost of having annoying cooldowns and such. If you use that system, then your skills start with their cooldowns (some of which are pretty long) when you enter combat. When you are out...

Stillbirth, yeah, that is the feeling I keep getting about SotA too(I made a low pledge during the KS and managed to turn that into a free Knights pledge through the whole "founders can gift a pledge to make other players founders too-thing). The game actually has had a LOT of development over...

My bad, I was wrong about the standalone. Just adding those 2 dll files did not do the trick either, so I just wrapped up the entire Everquest map with everythin in it in a rar and posted that on my webdisk. So in that map is a pristine Everquest installation from the original disk. I can start...

Yes they are great. I managed to do the Triple Wurm event with them several times and get all the Mastery Achievement points for them. This event has always been a huge hurdle for the community as far as open world PvE goes, but with them it was fun and easy. As long as you listen to the...

I still have the file, best to run it in win98 compatibility mode. Nostalgia to the max. https://treesong.home.xs4all.nl/EverQuest.rar I learned that this is not a standalone program so I included the entire pristine installation of Everquest from the original installation disk from '99. Run...

Yeah, my kids played it forever on the PS2. I also bought them Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance for the PS2 but they hardly ever touched that: too much dialogue. :confused:

He is still around. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaybarbeau I think he is mostly dabbling in music software or something like that. He used to have a personal website: www.everquestcomposer.com but that is dead now. And so is the link to this "musycal" website. So I guess he is not doing...

I am glad they finally change space combat so that regular chumps like me can enjoy it. WIng Commander is the only spacegame I enjoyed (and finished) and the relative slow pace certainly had something to do with it. I find it a bit unsettling that Roberts apparently had to "rediscover" that...
