In vanilla WoW mobs used to flee at low health, it was later scrapped because according to some internal research this panicked windowlickers that didn't know what to do. I remember when warrior tanking I had to occasionally swap stance to Harmstring a runner, because the mage frost nova was on...

Did they make legendary tring account bound? If I'll ever come back, I won't be doing that shit grind again for sure.

Ability bloat was a large issue for EQ2, it was extremely bad for some classes, while others did just fine. Going by memory, Conjurer was fine, so was Fury (my favourite class), while Shadowknight had an amazing 7 buttons for AE spells/effects alone, including one coming from talent points. Some...

May I ask what was wrong with Emerald Dream? I dusted off the good old 1.12 WoW and the damn nostalgia feelings are overwhelming me (I met no onion-cutting ninjas so far, which is good, but still...), but the server seems quite fine to me and decently populated as well. I almost forgot how it...

EoF was great, RoK lost me as well. I didn't even finish to level my char, my friends vanished halfway through the trip to whatever was the new level cap (80 maybe) and I said "fuck it" and moved on to play other stuff. Last time I tried to relog in EQ2, I took a quick look at my stuff: bags...

This April's Fool was... weird. Makes the game quite annoying to play after a while, but hell, the first few minutes were quite funny

Huge blackout in the Netherlands.

<100 regulars worldwide? Holy shit. I didn't think it was this bad. I have a beta access because my friend bought that package with 4 beta keys quite some time ago. I played a couple evenings and got bored extremely fast. Building stuff is not my game I guess.

Rifle for some world bosses: consider that I play with all graphics maxed out and on some fights I can only get 10-15 fps for the gargantuescan multitude of people surrounding a boss. So I just say fuck it and shoot bullets through its head. You can melee most of them, some are just too annoying...

Ehm... this is what I get for being away for a while, I didn't know the existance of these tracks. On the other hand I've never really been into PvP.

There is pretty much no progression, but to make it short: get a full set of level 80 berserker affix items, armor, weapons, jewelry. You can: - Craft it (haha I was kidding, forget it, it's a pain in the ass) - Buy from the TP (70-80g in total, plus extra for weapons, some of those can cost...

On the official forums there are a few threads with guides, some are very detailed.

Caveat: I love levelling, in pretty much every game. I play GW2 quite a lot and I played it on and off since launch. When other games offer me something interesting, say a new expansion or something similar, I leave it for a while and then happily come back. How do I play it? Well, I just...

Just a note: you can double click a ground reticule skill hotkey to cast it (i.e. basic grenade attack, hit "1" twice in a row) and you can even remove the ground reticule and cast with a single click (you can find the toggle in the game options). For warrior, try axe/mace, it's a fun combo...

I played a 661 brewmaster, on Beastlord I parsed 26k dps over the whole fight (hard enrage wipe, boss had 1,5m left or thereabout), above me 1 ret paladin at 28k, below there were dps at 22k, 20k and so on down to 17k. Being a 10 men, raid dps check wasn't met. In LK, I remember ICC, but it was...

I played so much WoW it aches to admit it and I have my idea: the answer to this is not simple, first it's a game design decision (issue?) from the ground up: to play EQ, very simple, you played with a handful of hotkeys and a chat box. Now every WoW-clone and of course the original, makes you...

EQ bard had twisting (before that melody stuff, but that was way past the pinnacle of EQ) and being able to twist 3 or 4 songs, swapping targets on the fly for a mez was unique and fun, not saying it took monumental skills, because it didn't, but there was a certain difference between good and...

I can assure you that 40 players raid are just the icing on the shitcake of problems they have. I kinda liked the game from a certain point of view and I'd play this game as f2p, with cosmetic shop stuff, but paying a monthly sub? No way.

Interesting, I wonder why they don't make a simpler/shorter version for all players, outside of those few lines and answers one can leave when canceling a subscription. Maybe it's not a good idea, but I'd like to give them some feedback. Not that they would care...

It didn't take long for some people to show that 25 stacks of might and 25 stacks of vulnerability on the boss, meant the fight went from 2 minutes to 20 seconds. Of course you require to do this in full berserker armor, so no defensive stats whatsoever, dodging is your main defense. The last...

If you don't speedrun, play whatever class you like more. If you speedrun you are pretty much playing warrior or guardian if you are decent and elementalist or thief if you are very good. Mesmer has a niche and it's imo a great class, it can also pack decent dps, but it's a melee build only and...

I enjoyed most WoW classes, definitely Bard, Druid and Wizard from EQ, all GW2 classes, even if they lack traditional roles, and some Lotro classes, especially Minstrel and Warden. Swtor is ignored because it's old school WoW in space (which has its merits, but class design is not one of them)...

I remember the first dungeon being in the teens. After that, there is one every "tier" where for tier I mean every 10ish levels. By following the quest flows, you end up in different overland zones and each one has its own dungeon. My highest char is 39, so I know next to nothing about the rest...

Right, I didn't put any context: in the character creation screen I noticed a "Drow" choice, so I was intrigued, because my EQ cleric was a dark elf and nostalgia is a bitch, I clicked on the "get this hot shit" now. There is no possibility (that I saw) of purchasing a single race, it's in a...

I followed a link for hero of the north pack on the official store: it asked 190 fucking euros. Are these guys serious or what? There is no way in hell I'd spend more than 20 on this game in total, going up to 200 is not going to happen, unless they send my house a real life version of some elf...

I think it's a solo friendly game like few others in the world. There is PvP and rated PvP and WvW (World vs World) which is a gigantic clusterfuck of people and it's fun on its own, even for me and I'm not a PvP'er at all. Dungeons may not be very pug friendly at the beginning, unless you...

Last I played was a few months ago and there a few things I didn't like much, keep in mind my highest char is a 38 ranger. Maybe you can help me, because I find the combat quite fun, but what is extremely irritating is that past level 20 or 25, identification scrolls drop a LOT less. So I'm...

I picked up this game again and I still find it very fun. My biggest issue is that I like all classes and I play them all, at this pace I'll never finish a storyline before the xpack. I'll try to focus harder on one, but it's so difficult, it's so tempting to swap every day... altoholicism at...

Given what's out there, you are on the right path, better to have fresh blood than all the old disasters we are being fed on a regular basis, on this I'm 100% on the Utnayan train. Good luck and have something written and signed that covers your ass, because if by some obscure miracle you...

I admit I'm sad. I'm sad for those who lost their job, because nowadays it's harder to find a new than it was 10 years ago. (Good luck to you all). I'm sad because MMOs are declining in quality and the target audience gradually changed over the years going far from my idea of fun and...

Necro: I remember it had no cleave, but they wanted to add a 2nd target to dagger, it had pretty much no buff capacity and the debuff was not so important (weakness is good, that's true). I played power necro for a while and imo it was very fun and very powerful. The only downside was that wells...

I just dusted off GW2, I already have 5 level 80s (warrior, necro, mesmer, ranger, thief), but I never got around to finish levelling the other classes. I remember free boost to level 20, but not free + levels items? Where are these from?

Oh okay, thanks for the clarification. I think that was the most interesting feature of EQN: non static world/gameplay. I don't really care about voxels, but SB was a cool concept.

Shortly after release (2 or 3 months?) the gold to gem conversion was crazy (it's way different from the gem to gold): I remember that for all my hard earned gold (not much to be honest, but way above 100) I would have gotten the equivalent of 2 hours pay at work. I'd rather buy with cash than...

Several months ago, a legendary weapon costed several hundreds ?, up to a 1k for a few of them (iirc 3500g for a 2h sword and 20? got you 1600 gems that converted to about 70ish gold). I have no idea of the current gem/gold conversion rate, but I'm sure it's still damn expensive. Legendaries are...

I'm currently behind a firewall. Are they really saying no more storybricks? They are left with nothing I guess: no trinity, no storybricks, just voxels and parkour. This is going to end well (not).

I'll bite. It's the best compared to all the others I played (not the best in the world? I wouldn't know), because you can play the solo game to follow the class storyline (probably the best aspect of the whole game for many) without spending anything at all. There are some locked things that...

You can get a full suite of orange gear by level 20-25 if you run a couple flashpoints. If you are not picky and just want a place where to stuff mods, social gear is available as well. World mobs are still around last I checked and they still drop some stuff. Of course having a cosmetic based...

WoW did 231 million dollars in 2013 from the cash shop alone. Swtor did 139 million dollars from the cartel market. Both these figures are revenues and not profits and both don't count the subs money. For something that sells mostly cosmetic/useless stuff, you could argue that those numbers...

Timeless isle was boring for me, but I guess some people liked it. It had a bit of a lottery feeling with chests/nameds for 496 alt-friendly upgrades and it wasn't trivial mindless grinding, so it had something worth mentioning. They did several mistakes in WoD (in my opinion): remove any...
