    Guild Wars 2

    Terrible patch for PvE (and no, I don't give a fuck about PvP nor WvW). They are taking away endurance and evades from thieves who are already being one shotted everywhere, less endurance for rangers as well. They do nothing to address the zerker-only problem, except killing the player by...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Models I'm not surprised, they always looked bad in TES, on the other hand the animations made my eyes bleed, I hope they have something better in store because as it is, I really don't like them. The environment is beatiful and again, I'm not surprised, always was in the TES serie.

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    I developed over the years a repulsion for two type of things in MMOs: people not talking at all and people judging my performance being totally oblivious to their own one (basically letting me carry them to loot). At this point, if socializing is forcing me to play with these asshats, I'll take...

    If you want to purchase something cheap, I'd guess hotbars are the first thing coming to my mind. I subscribed because fuck having stupid limitations to save me a couple euros. I'm also in need of having several character slots and f2p gives only 2. I find the game enjoyable, I solo, find...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    You can force skirmishing forces with terrain (e.g.: a dense forest) or defensive weaponry such as deadly artillery, deadly being the key word here. As much as I love GW2 I can't stand WvW because I end up clashing with the opposing zerg way too often and this just makes me want to logoff...

    I expect nothing, but I'm prepared to be amazed, because SoE has two redeeming qualities: they have good dungeon designers (key feature, for my taste) and they are not excessively scared of saying "fuck this, let's experiment". Admittely sometimes they fail with their experiment (EQ2 at launch)...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    It's a consequence of the theme park game standard, promoted by Blizzard. When your path from "zero to hero" (cit.) is already planned before you even install the game, all you have left to do is achieve something when following it. There is a bit of exploration here and there, some small room...

    Guild Wars 2

    For me levelling and exploring is the top part of the game, this includes the first run you do in dungeons story mode and eventually the 3 paths of explorable mode. True also for many other things, do them enough time and they can become a bit boring, except when you change class (if you're the...

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

    Somewhat torn on that regard: yes for community, no for gameplay, yes for danger, no for complexity. I could go on forever. My end judgement is that I played no MMO as of today that was perfect for me in all its aspects, I found some good ones here and some good ones there. EQ, WoW, GW1...

    I grouped with one guy that admitted to paying about 1000 ? per month in shit (no idea if true or not), I didn't even know it was possible. Yes, the guy definitely sounds like a rich person.

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

    If it's medium budget (30m dollars), it can maybe retain 250k people, but that's only if it's good and that's not a given. I'd hope more for a special ruleset server for EQN at this point.

    I don't deny them, au contraire mon ami, I love(d) them. I just stated that nobody made a hard 5 or 6 ppl content as endgame because they never tried hard enough to make it work. Just make room smaller? Not perfect but it's a start. If you consider for example LK dungeons that were added after...

    Quoting myself as I found a workaround in case it happens to some of you or your friends. The crash is linked to the hyperspace animation that plays at the end, right after you decide your destination via the console, if you spacebar really fast so that you avoid it completely, the game won't...

    No. Cata heroics were a fucking joke for anybody with two arms, don't fool yourself. Vanilla WoW was a lot harder (in relevant gear of course) because of a simple thing: the tools given to the player. Warriors (the only real tanks back then) didn't have any single ability to control threat AoE...

    Is it normal to crash at the end of flashpoints? I tried the alt+tab workaround, but nope. Twice at the end of Black Talon I crashed and got no credit for the run.

    So far it's a lot of chatting and promises, which in the MMO world and the world in general mean exactly nothing. EQN for now it's a design doc, everything will be probably cut to pieces before going live due to the fact the game will be a buggy piece of shit and 70% of the announced features...

    I subbed and got free cartel coins, with them I got a newcomer bundle that had a speeder in it. So between perma sprint from level 1 and the speeder, I'm blazing through content quickly and I gotta admit the SW universe it's still beautiful. I don't mind the bear asses quests (droid asses?) much...

    Hmmm interesting. So, assuming I want to heal, Sage/Sorc is what I should play? Scoundrel/Agent is a healer with stealth, I guess that could work as well if it's cool enough (I read that IA story is top notch). I was interested on a commando because of the heavy weapon mostly, because as you...

    I picked this game up again, starting from scratch on a new account and I subbed, because fuck f2p that doesn't give me enough character slots (altoholic by vocation). Between my several alts going through the story, I was also going to force a friend to play this with me, typical duo...

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    Mostly GW2, I picked up SWtoR again to play through a couple stories I missed the first time around. Killing time and stuff. WoW is cool, but I'm really bored of MoP. Consider that what I do in MMOs today is level alts or do 1 group content. Both gw2 and swtor appeal to me for that reason, WoW...

    Cost modeling in automotive is a completely different thing, because you generally don't produce anything and pay a relatively small team for the R&D and protoyping (which is very often partially outsourced, except key components). When you go into production, you have an enormous reduction in...

    I don't like holiday events, but I can just ignore them. With very few exceptions they have always been boring, but I can see how somebody may like them. For me they also detract from the game atmosphere, doesn't matter if Christmas is named Winterfell, Frostfell, or Frozendung, it's still...

    Thank you for the info, I wasn't aware it's possible to wipe in LFR, doesn't match my old experiences with it. I guess with the new Flex system, nobody worth a damn is doing LFR anymore, huh? Pretty baffling.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    You quit by level 15, so you didn't actually play the game in any meaningful way nor you've seen any interesting and challenging content. I know that every player on these boards is a superstar of MMOs and they can carry entire servers of bads to success by breathing on their keyboards while...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    GW2 is a very nice game imo and the fact it has no raiding/progression (meaning inflating item levels over and over) is a nice plus in my book. Certainly it's very beatiful to see and definitely worth the box price for pretty much every MMO gamer out there. EDIT: and yet again I sound like a...
