Why would the focus on making life harder for alts? Alternate characters offer longevity, something their game needs so badly, given that everything else is at best a 2 months effort and subsequent patches add pretty much nothing if you analyze them over the time period they are stretched upon...

I'm all for diablo loot in WoW, but what worries the little altoholic in me is that between artifacts that require levelling and random legendaries (unless they are going to make them Bind to Account), the commitment to a main becomes much more emphatized. It's going to take ages to switch...

Unless I've read it wrongly, TP now uses energy, so the major costraint for Keg Smash will be resource depletion rather than cooldown, but I see how it can occasionally lead to an orgy of AE dps. I'm glancing over talents, some classes seem really interesting, like the shadow priest (and lol...

I have a fresh 100 that I want to gear up, but if I go in Tanaan I may explode when a mob looks at me sideways, ilvl is 606 now. My old main had 2 pieces of account bound shit, but none are the right armor type. So what would you guys suggest me to assemble a Tanaan-capable gear set as fast as...

Also, not to be forgotten because I think it was its most prominent feature: it was fun. Addons: DBM and GTFO are very useful when I decide to torture myself tanking raids, Recount and I are having a love relationship since years and I believe I can't play at all without Xperl Unit Frames and...

Bullshit. Fistweaving did what it had to do perfectly in MoP, offering lower throughput, but speeding up kills considerably. It was nerfed a bit in the damage department, but still useful during WoD. Cutting it is being just fucking lazy.

Completely disliking monk changes, mistweavers should have gone back to MoP status, when they were the most fun healers, instead they have been gutted again. Nothing particularly interesting in all other classes so far, except demolock that may end up being fun to play and to watch and...

Even using random numbers, WoD cashed in 10 million copies sold, plus at least 1 month subscription for each of these copies. We're talking at a rough estimate of over 500 million dollars, which is the money required to make 5 top quality fully featured triple-A quality MMOs, not a single...

I'm late replying to this, but RL kept me quite busy: I don't complain about features that ruin the good old days, because the old days were good for different reasons: I was younger, had more free time, EQ was new, etc. I'm stating what I said above because, with the exception of GW2, every...

2m is a lot for sure. In my guild there are a few guys that did map a dozen times each (to do the legendary weapons), but the norm is 0 or 1. One of these guys managed to get all the legendaries in game (quest + precursors, not bought), I believe his life is online and only goes afk for...

I played cleric and bard in EQ, the possibility to multibox easily (EQ Windows!) made the game a lot more interesting, even if I never felt the need for driving more than two characters, I remember some crazy with 6 toons dungeoning on his own after raids. EQ had a nice exploration feeling...

I still remember that assassin skill I upgraded at 50 with an adept III, it did 350 less damage than the lower level version at adept I. Oh those days...

LotRo combat was atrocious, so bad I almost risked to punch my monitor once. As a minstrel, I had (morale) heals with a casting time, but there was pushback if you were attacked, basically each hit slowed the cast by 0,5 seconds without diminishing returns, so with 3 mobs on the caster, it was...

I just want to comment on these points: 1) I remember Smed posting on FoH about the financial details of 1 year, where the net income was a couple hundreds thousand dollars (250k maybe? not far from that amount), which considering the capital invested and the number of people involved, seemed...

Its. Anyway it sounds cool, generic, but cool

They still are. Not that anyone cares. I'm confident that people on this forum can figure out by themselves what they like and what they don't, but it's amazing to see the lenght some people go in order to criticize something that doesn't conform to their perfect idea of MMO, which doesn't...

I made it to 15, did the level 6 expedition solo (you can queue for it from anywhere specifying you don't want other people to queue with you), I did the level 10 dungeon, which is quite fun for being a practice run that teaches how to use skills and how to move around. I also found out that I'm...

I think that WoW is no longer a MMORPG since years, I'd dare say from WotLK onwards it slowly but steadily changed and became the lobby game that it is nowadays and lobby games need difficulty levels. I believe that TBC, while shitty on the dungeon design, still was an MMORPG, with the RPG part...

Scholar is not a real healer for several levels, meaning that you don't play the class in solo at all, as you can level as Summoner and if you want to queue as a healer in dungeons, your pet covers 95% of the required healing in groups until level 45+, with the occasional patch heal thrown in...

Wildstar build site is fairly up to date, but it still takes some google fu to look for proper guides (build alone is only half the guide). I'd love something like that Dota2 system even for MMOs, I believe Rift had introduced something along those lines, with builds based on "concepts" that a...

It's a fun game, can and should be played twice, once with story companions, once with custom ones from the inn. You can make some funny groups that way.

I was a bit guilty of too much googling myself, but at some point I decided to say "screw it" and figure out shit on my own. Dragon age? Pick skills I like, game can be easy enough anyway. Witcher? Same thing. In MMOs I never had an issue making functional builds, but I really don't like the...

I had to specifically allow ffxivupdater.exe (or something similar, check yourself, it's very easy to see which file does the job). Also if you use Avast antivirus, disable it or it'll not let you patch at all, it won't even let you login (launcher opens with the fields for typing id and...

Yesterday night (EU time) I couldn't login, later past midnight I could get to the character selection screen. This morning before leaving for work, I managed to login and I can testify that there is a game still. I changed to mouse look and MB2 didn't work at all (I checked my keybindings and...

From here: Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion - Page 533

I'll give it a try, with the new implemented mouselook and skills #1 and #2 usable from mouse keys, it could be less tiring to play, maybe even more fun. It's free, so why not?

What I meant is simply that people were driven away from Wildstar by the group content, not the levelling treadmill. Unpuggable dungeons from level 20 onwards, 40 men raids, attunement requiring good groups, etc. This happened in a game that spent only on marketing and advertising more than...

One hundred and fifty thousand? For real? Now let's get down to earth and consider that Wildstar, a game with a very large budget, AAA graphic engine and server engineering, amazing marketing and promotional videos, original and somewhat interesting gameplay, heavily group oriented and...

Something tells me that healing will be sought and not found way too often. It's not GW2 material in my opinion, I'm not exactly sure what they think they are going to add here. There is no tank, but they added a few "provoke" type abilities, there is no healer, except now there is one. So they...

Druid announced, for what I read it's a pure healer/cleanser spec. Meet the Druid: Rangers Elite Specialization | GuildWars2.com

WoW stopped having dungeons in 2007 with TBC release, where they became short hallways with 3 rooms. Even in vanilla dungeons were sometimes more linear than desirable, but it was way less obvious and generally speaking much more interesting. I find it baffling that people are willing to...

Never did before, I was testing it, but I don't like it much. I think I got it from a movie I was watching a few hours earlier, not so catchy as it seemed.

Medic was fun, but it looked (and sounded) so dumb that I never found it playable for extended periods of time. I liked Esper gameplay, with the temp pet etc. it was an awesome soloer, but the most fun classes were imo the stalker and the warrior. I speak mainly from a non raider point of view...

I always wondered how much shit like this can backfire on them. I never bought a key, nor I farmed any outside of those I got naturally levelling all my 80s (before tomes were even a thing, 'fore you ask), but I can imagine skin collectors went crazy for that stuff. Pointless move imo.

When they upped ricochet to 50% I had a truckload of fun, far from being a powerhouse, but a sb/pp full ranged rogue suited me well. To be honest there are things done by Anet that baffle me, too many to list them all (or things ignored, those are even more). So far I find the xpack...

Summoner is good, if you like the concept, you have to micro a bit in groups because some pet skills are annoying as fuck if left in autocast (knockbacks for example), but it's just one or two extra bindings. I mained a white mage, a bit slower at killing, but since I wanted to play a pure...

I stopped playing halfway through BRF, the majority of my guild was probably just waiting an excuse and quit in the following days. There are 1 or 2 people left online on average during the week and even they are saying that they play out of habit. The game is so conveniently user friendly...

I think Wildstar had several healing spell that were directional, if not the vast majority. For many abilities selecting a target wasn't necessary at all even offensively, yet there were tanks and healers. Game failed in other aspects, but that part I kinda liked (disclaimer: I didn't play it...

@Eidal: Forgive me, but GW2 group content is definitely subpar from many points of view. As much as I love the game for its amazing world and exploration possibilities (and jumping puzzles), I always found the dungeons and the open raid quite boring and uninspiring, even if the first time in...

Oh cool... not. Fuck raids, at least in GW2.
