You like the sound of it so much go and play ithttp://na.aiononline.com/en/.

Oh that's right you don't like the sound of it your just a shill.
Well, Utnayan/DMK - I passed on Aion based on the fact that I heard it was a typical Korean grindfest with pretty graphics. Now that it's out for a couple years, you're right, I'm not going to go try to get involved in the PVP. Kinda a bit behind the curve for my taste. I was merely pointing out that I had no idea they had that kind of RVR. Now, you really need to work on unwadding those panties, you sound super rustled.

Edit: Uh, yeah - I just read this:http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/AbyssIs that what you are saying is just like 3 faction RVR? Doesn't really look up my ally.

More words. No one gives a fuck about words anymore. Show the fucking game.
Aw come on we expect more then that from you. At least insult Firor or call Blackwulf a shill again if you cant attack the interview information with a detailed rebuttal.

That said, yay weather and I agree with convo.

How unfortunate your friends weren't in the Aion Beta to tell you how good it was..

New 2 hour leaked vid doing the rounds. Lowbie content but thought it looked pretty decent actually, oddly immersive for some reason.

you can critique anything by watching a video imo. i still watch videos of myself doing pve/pvp in swtor or pvp in daoc and it looks retarded... but man, it sure was engaging and fun while i was playing

Rigid character animations and level 1 combat gameplay have nothing to do with fun or engagement : I'm not going to have the same fun or experience the same engagement watching a blurred 720p Elder Scrolls Online level 1 video than playing the game by myself. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make there, everyone can watch a leaked video, it's much more objective than any written review fromsuspicious insiders.

Firor talks about why they chose P2P and lots of other stuff. He does specifically mention that they don't want you paying for things "in game" as, to him, it's immersion breaking. So this kind of contradicts the P2P + cash shop. Unless the cash shop takes place outside the game.
It must be true then, right.
I mean we got a video and an interview, able to quote him, of it.
It really has to be true, because they would never lie to everyone in straight daylight.

Where have we seen that before, I wonder.

Yes, that's exactly what he's talking about... he's saying that you'll need to alt-tab and open a web browser to access the cash shop. What I don't understand is that this dumb cunt knows better, he knows the instant a player thinks about looking for a payment method outside of the in-game currency all immersion is broken -- instantly. Heknowsit. Yet still tries to pass a non-game invasive cash shop off as a feature.

This is the reason that the initial sub model worked so god damned well for EQ, we paid a sub, and got access to everything. We never had to think about paying for the game past "do I still have money on my CC to pay my sub for this month -- I'll eat more sui-men noodles this month".

I still also cannot believe that you had to even ask/pose the question "unless it happens outside the game".

OF COURSE IT FUCKING DOES.

Worse. The player might think twice about buying the item if he has to go thru additional loops (like finding bookmark, logging in, using the authenticator if any, navigating menus...). Impulse buy for the win!

How will using a stealth-based character be viable in Player vs. Player combat in ESO? In previous Elder Scrolls games, stealth was represented by an eye which displayed whether you were detected or not-your character wasn't invisible. How am I supposed to sneak up on another player, who can easily spin their character's view around, without being detected? - By Daniel Mccarty

If you are in stealth, you will be invisible to enemy players unless they detect you. It will take more than just a casual look in a stealthed player's direction to uncover them. During a recent playtest, one of our developers was ambushed by a hidden enemy. It was a very effective tactic; the ambusher took advantage of the fact that his target wasn't being cautious and using the Magelight ability, which would have thwarted the ambush.
RvR is gonna be great :

Another reason to stay away form the Xbone.

Although I wonder how long it will take for them to 180 on the paywall for typically free features like PS4. Also, Sony will still have a paywall now for multiplayer, but they have allowed sub based MMORPG's a bypass.

High cost extremely short duration. Much shorter than even GW2 and no way to really stack it (fields) for longer duration.
They also insinuated about something called a 'magelight' that I'm assuming can uncover stealthers?

...the ambusher took advantage of the fact that his target wasn't being cautious and using the Magelight ability...
