    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    It's on multiplayer.it (no idea how many read it, but it's a known site here) and 10 out of 11 comments are negative. Your starting KS presentation is to be blunt extremely lacking: there is absolutely no reason new generations should give it a second look. Generic uninspiring material. For...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    ...and GW2 and Neverwinter and possibly others I forgot. It's not handholding in my opinion (hell, fuck, at this rate you guys are gonna declare any UI element as "handholding"), it's just a mechanic: sometimes you have so much shit going on at once, you need UI cues to what is what and...

    I'm at ilvl 492, basically timeless with one 500+ item and a shit shit shit shit shit, yes 5 times shit, weapon (the ilvl 450 from the scenario). I did pull a 80kish dps single target and 160ish AE on a destro lock, which is probably extremely shitty (yet I was in the first 7 or 8 on the...

    Yes, sure. Except nobody will need one, so everybody will have to be dps and I saw this movie already: more dps = shorter fights and less need for any form of support. Oh, you're right, they said the new evolutionary AI will change things for real this time, yep! I'll believe it when I see it...

    I like it, get over it. You could call me a shill (it's the standard procedure I think) or you could maybe read what I wrote about all the things I didn't like (quite a lot, half the game in fact). What I said stands true: cash shop it's non-intrusive and stuff sold there has zero impact on...

    MMO Glitches / Sploits

    I think I did it with a rabbit in the Eastern Wastes, if I recall correctly it took advantage also from the summoned mage weapons for pets. The fun was quite prolonged until a bunch of people in their high 30s teamed up to kill it.

    If WoW has fallen from glory, I want to fall like they do. They have a subscription model *and* a cash shop now (had it for a while, now it's in game). They have still around 7.2 millions players, which is probably 12 times or more than the second MMO in line and even if we say they get only 4m...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I resubbed and played a couple weeks, nothing particularly good to say, a few things particularly bad, but we all know them by now. What I enjoyed is the green fire quest for warlocks, given my abysmal item level it's fairly challenging (ilvl 470ish) and I got two of the felhounds down, but it...

    There was also a mod in vanilla, called babbles if I recall correctly, that converted both languages to a common one. It was disabled by Blizzard quite quickly, reason was that segregation = cool. Fuck them and fuck hardcoded factions. In EQ I remember using Eye of Zomm in Sebilis at zone in...

    That's why WoW invented Death Knights, awesomeness all-in-one package. I'm not reading much on WS yet, (I applied for beta, but no luck so far), but I hope they have some life leeching tank in there, or tank-ish healer at that.

    EQ, EQ2, EQN all come from the same people, so discussing aspects of one or another in my opinion is pertinent and relevant in this thread. EQ2 was an awesome game for me at release: despite the obvious bugs it allowed for dungeon explorations (fuckton of them already in the first twenty...

    GW2 is so amazingly responsive that at first I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a WoW only feature. Its most lackluster aspect is the lack of a progression at the end game, except a monumental farming for materials to craft ascended gear. Right after that there is the lack of specific...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    In Skyrim I like two kind of playing styles: one is full caster, which means healing spells become cheap and you'll use them on the fly, the other is stealth/bow with some limited magic (basic heal, illusion spells, etc.). Healing and magicka/stamina potions are the only ones I ever touch and...

    Sort of. I don't care about the specific item level relative power, it can be 70%, 80%, whatever. It should allow to enter raids of the appropriate tier probably. What they did in LK was fine, first with the argent tournament, then with the other 3 dungeons. I'd still change the scaling...

    98% of statistics are made on the spot? In that case, yeah, you're right. I prefer levelling to raiding (which is what most people here consider end game and they are probably right). I have 11 WoW characters (plus a few on extra servers), 7 in SWtoR, 9 in GW2, etc. etc. all at max level or...

    Far from it: but asking for challenging 1 group dungeons is not the same thing as asking for BiS loot. Honestly: I can queue for dungeons and have some fun, in raids I get bored. I enjoyed 10 men raiding in LK and Cata, now now anymore, I prefer smaller group content. Loot? As long as it's...

    Why did Rift fail?

    In fact Vanilla WoW was great. MC Raid was also not too difficult, even for beginners, so stuff could be killed by pretty much every guild where people used both arms and a tiny fraction of the brain. Time was a valuable commodity back then, that's true, meaning that if you had 1 hour to play...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Except it's (in my opinion) the most fun content in the game, it used to provide decent rewards and/or VP to purchase decent gear, while not top of the line it gave a sense of progression. Raids are boring except in heroic mode, where they become dance dance revolution games, script must be...

    When there is no enrage timer and no raid cap size, you can do whatever the fuck you want: my guild killed Bertoxx during PoP (when it was re4levant) with 39 people, 12 healers, 7 of them were two-boxed. If you could keep up the tank and the rampage tank, everything else was optional, given...

    There are probably a dozen thounsands dead horses nearby, but... "you don't say?" (insert meme here).

    Given enough bots, I could play WoW offline and do a LAN party with friends here and there /joke.

Oh Nesingwary, thou...

    GW2 is the perfect example of why a "community" sucks: in a game where any 5 warm bodies could form a group because there are no roles, people want speedruns only groups: 3 classes allowed. Even today in group listing there is usually a disclaimer or two: no rangers! zerk warriors only! and...

    Guild Wars 2

    Yes you can, go to your class trainer and ask him/her, do NOT buy the book, that is a one time only unlock of the adept/master/grandmaster traits. At level 80 it costs 3s and some coppers. Respec is cheap, gear much less so, but by the time you're 80, you'll figure out a lot more stuff.
