Just heard Mike Malyan left Monuments. Hope all is well.. John is a good dude, and Mike is a BEAST of a drummer.

I discovered these guys when they covered Muse's Stockholm Syndrome.. They're on regular rotation now. Very cool band!

Yeah.. I told myself I wasn't going to get another one, and then the LAST Ryan Siew artist model became available, and I bought it.. Cost me $6k, but it's a work of art.

I guess that's fair. Doesn't matter HOW you play if you're enjoying doing something in some way.

It's a game. If you're not having fun, why are you playing?

Yes, you want devs playing their own games, but not to the level of being competitive and winning content races. It definitely gives an aire of impropriety. It's strange knowing who the leads are there that they'd allow this. Ngreth is solid as is Absor. Especially Absor actually.. he's always...

I find that hard to believe. One thing we had when I worked there was integrity. We didn't want anything like this or even the appearance of something like this going on.

Marketing Dept at Daybreak / Darkpaw has lost their fucking minds.. A Fan event where tickets cost $1499 USD? For a 25+ year old game, and with literally no new games on the horizon? EQ Fan Event

Paul is just awesome on every level.

Yup.. Acle, Dan, and Jay are friends of mine. Ridiculously talented band.

There's also rumors that this and NMS will connect, with NMS being the Macro-Game, and LNF being the detailed world. It could just be wishful thinking, but if not, and they actually pull it off, it would be insanely interesting.

Except NMS is a great game now. Overhyped at release for sure, but it's a the best space/exploration/sim there is right now IMO.

DBG apparently had layoffs recently.. Maybe they're trying to decide what games to keep running and what to shut down?

Just came here to say, "Fuck Elden Beast".. Like for real. As a caster, it's just fucking me over and over.. For full SA, I can't dodge for shit.

Hell levels weren't intentional. They were basically a code mistake.

I worked with someone overseas who has dropped several thousand dollars into Star Citizen so far. Like maybe close to 10k..

Star Citizen will forever be the poster child for Scope Creep

Make no mistake, Shawn knows how to get shit done. This game will come out at some point. Pantheon? Who knows..

I started a new character, but I'm up to the story quests between Shadowbringer and Endwalker.. Playing a simple BLM

A Vanguard post-mortem would have been educational if people could keep the emotion out of it and just honestly look at the mistakes made. We're way past that now though.. IMO, Pantheon should have ended with Brad's passing.

Absolutely ridiculous they're still using physical hardware servers and not virtual machines, but whatever.. That's Square for you.

I had a low-level character on Behemoth, so I started fresh as a Thaumaturge, and shifted to Black Mage once I hit 30 (with the 15 archer req). I'm sure it'll get more complex but right now (lvl 38) it's a VERY basic class to play. Monk was annoying before I left the game, and my Bard just got...

The queues are nuts, but the lack of awareness of the growth of their playerbase is worse. They saw numbers rising dramatically with the Blizzard shitshow and didn't apparently do much to resolve the situation before launch. And yeah, the 2002 errors are really annoying. I've gotten them from a...

No way in hell they'll shut down the servers unless it becomes widespread duping. If you have 500k players, and 5k are duping, they're not going to ruin gaming for the other 495k if they can deal with the 5k directly. It's all about keeping the majority of players playing (and paying). Most dev...

The simplest measure FOR ME of whether an expansion is good or not is my interest to login and play even after the storyline content is complete. Once I hit that in Shadowlands, I don't think I've logged in more than once or twice. The expansion just didn't do much for me..

By the time this game launches it'll be playable on a cell phone.

I played the open beta for a week or so.. I can't get past the shitty combat. It's terribad.

I refuse to get hyped over trailers and presentation footage. Been bitten too many times by stuff that looks amazing in the demo, and is complete trash when it gets to me. I'm happy I have my PS5, but there really isn't much out there that I'm dying to play on it yet.

Lot of rose colored glasses with respect to EQ. I get it was people's first obsession in the MMO genre, but it's a TERRIBLE combat system wrapped around some incredibly bloated character systems, and some broken as well. And this a game I played for 5 years, and worked on for 8 years after that...

This is a 2 second change. It's not like it takes anything out of the schedule for the team.

I think I was pretty clear in my 1st interview that he was someone I'd NEVER work with again, like ever. It was very telling (and validating) that Shawn had a similar experience with him almost 20 years earlier. His ultimate goal was not to make a great game, it was to cement his legacy, and be...

Factual. Kind of like a certain "Producer" taking his entire team to MineCon in Vegas, only to return with the 'revelation' that a certain MMO will now have destructible terrain. Then fire up the hype machine, sell world creation tools to 'players' to basically get them to pay to do your work...

And now two devs have been fired at Respawn over the things they posted on social media nearly 15 years ago.

That wasn't the only reason though.. WoW was going to be serious competition for EQ at that moment in time regardless, and then the EQ team SERIOUSLY dropped the ball at the worst possible time. Also, Uqua was Salius's zone, and he quit SOE and went to Sigil just as he was supposed to tune the...

I don't understand why people watch other people play games at all.

Putting together a 'Rock Star' level team doesn't guarantee success either. Sometimes the best ideas come from people who don't have the storied background in the dev world. I mean, look at all the Dream Team companies that fell flat on their faces.. Red 5 Studios. Their game, "Firefall" was a...

You expect HR to keep tabs on every employee's social media posting? HR is busy enough trying to stave off massive lawsuits and more so, trying to stop the state of CA from raiding the corporate $$$ in fines.

LOL.. right. The game is still printing wads of cash. Shut it down.. LOL.. Fuckin' business geniuses right here. The reason EQ hasn't been killed yet. It makes money. 100k paid accounts still generate decent income, especially considering the dev team is probably only about 10 people at this...

LOL.. What's up, Burnem!

My guess is they're not 'letting them', but some people are just too stupid to know when to shut up.
