Yeah, I don't consider WoW 1.0'ers and EQ Neckbearders separate people. Shit, everyone played WoW (me too obviously). I was just curious if there was anything particularly compelling, but I might be willing to give a WOW 1.0'ish game a shot. I still don't think that could keep me past the 1-3 month mark though.

Sorry, you can only get a good 300% hoverboard as a 1% drop from the toughest raid boss. The ones you get from a vendor are only 15% moar fasturs. People need their ePeen.

Interesting, it was what 8 before or 9, cant remember.

Very good that you can change the opacity/options of all the telegraphs separately(ie yours, friends, enemies etc). So you won't be blinded by everyone's moves.

This combat looks so fucking stiff i hope its not always like that.
I'm just gonna say that developer guy is a tablet games casual player since he can't compute hitting 3 buttons at once. This is the worst thing to do, liveshowing game footage featuring a guy who plays games like a mummy.

Looks fine to me, and plays fine(based on last stress test), so dunno where you see that.

Uh no it looks really fuckin strange, on top of the odd run animations for this race. It just doesnt seem very fluid.

Funky how? I just don't see it. I don't see any weird/odd stiff animations etc. Maybe its the constant movement? I dunno, I played tera so used to always moving.

In my opinion it's because most of his attacks are done while not moving, when the gameplay allows most of them to be casted on the move (some of them without GCD).

What a weird talent/Skill system/tree setup.

Lol at that level up animation. Just need a electric guitar and 80s rock band hair.

Well they did what I expected. When people learned about paths, people were saying they would have to go X path as Y class to min/max, I knew they would get nerfed or changed and now they are saying they have all been changed to out of combat abilities(faster regen, teleport home etc). This is why we can't have nice things.

Lol he's cow tipping, since the cows go to sleep at night.

Will be very interesting to see what other mounts they have, if hoverboard is any indication.
