319 wut? Not a greatest hits post =/

I have to admit, other than his hatred of the Random Loot System, I"m a bit ignorant of Zhen"s overall gear acquirement scheme that is proclaimed "The Best." Is it simply a ticker that settles upon the best quest in the world (ie, Onyxia head quest that can only be completed once) upon so many...

In WoW, specifically, random does not contribute to awesome. At all, period. With its focus on endgame raiding and the carrot of PVP, they have to put the brakes on abilities to an extent so that the random factor isn"t as random as ye olde Windfury bitching would have you believe. It is as much...

Endgame focus can"t be ignored during the design process; I think we would agree completely on that fact. Having enough things to do when players hit max level is pretty key to keeping interest in any given game. But it is equally as important as to where you focus your efforts as to simply...

Mippo is basically correct, in my opinion. And it was AoC/War and most likely Aion (though I have at least some hope for the game due to the rate at which they are patching fairly impressive changes in. We"ll see how that goes after the NA release, however) that have been the biggest offenders...

You can do non-trainer based skill/spell accrual in many ways. Tie your increasing a spell"s power with usage, ala leveling up the spell when you have cast it x number of times vs. targets that grant xp. Have quests that directly result in new abilities or spells for the classes present when the...

The defensive support class concept can be branched out to supplemental classes in general. One class isn"t a dedicated healer per say, but instead he has an aura akin to EQ bardsong that heals in a radius around him. Hell, just supplant the bard there. Now you have passive ae regeneration that...

Advancement doesn"t have to come entirely from gear upgrades. If the quests and the lines they were involved with also bestowed statistic increases as well, it would give the player tangible power without requiring a leveling method. To give classes different perspectives so that playing through...

In an attempt to rerail this thread as best as possible, I"ll list the important factors that make up a wow clone in the order in which they occur. You have to have an engaging PVE game. If it"s not nobody will play, not even the hardcore PVP players. You have to have some form of endgame...

Woops, I was referring to UO. But I catch your drift.

Question Max, does your heart race when you get ganked with zero chance of survivability? And by race, do you mean it"s exciting or frustrating? I"m interested on your actual stance on world pvp. That"s the thing I notice about everyone who misses "the good old days" in regards to mmos and...

The vast majority of PVP servers filled up on release and post release because the general consensus amongst most hyped players before release lay in the concept that PVE servers only contained PVE, and that PVP servers contained both. So when half the servers are PVE, that is half the...

I guess you forgot all the whining about dead PVP servers each time a new one opens up =/ WoW"s PVP is only nearly as "booming" as it is because it provides PVE enhancement for little to no risk or randomization to the player, and that"s it. The BGs were used less than half as often as they...

An important thing to keep in mind is the way that WoW handles PVP. It is the only guaranteed way to get epic loot of high quality with zero risk to your bank account or the rng screwing you. It also has the absolute lowest time requirement for the most part. (especially arena. 50 minutes max a...
