No, if I was to say the most influential game of 2012 would have been the success of EQ2:Extended, as it changed and brought about the greatest influx of F2P pay models in the industry. I mean if we are truly going to talk about influencing change in the industry. |

Originally posted by Aerowyn Its a pretty accurate description of the lower level experience minus, possibly, the empty areas of the map(I haven't played in months so I don't know if they are empty or not). I can't say anything about end game as I didn't get any of my characters past 40.

Originally posted by pioneer08 you still have many more than 5 "AT A TIME" try the game I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

Originally posted by mikahr Its not that saying the trinity is simple, its when GW2 fans use that to say that PEOPLE who enjoy it are simple or stupid or "just don't get it" or whatever. It happens frequently and needs to stop. You can enjoy whatever game you like without insulting others who enjoy something else.

Originally posted by pioneer08 the basic setup gives you access to 15 abilities at a given time.. now depending on class and loadout you could easily have 20-40 at any given time.. my elementalist has access to 35 abilities in any single fight in my current build i could build my engineer to do the same..

Originally posted by Aerowyn Without switching your weapons, you DO only have 5 weapon abilities at one time. Some people like using a 2h sword with their characters and don't want to be forced to use a shield or 2h hammer to gain new abilities.

Originally posted by Ginaz Who said anything weapon abilities? Even you know that you have MORE than 5 abilities at ANY given time. Nice try, but he is just a bit too obvious Some people dont want >than 1 quickbar, does that mean they are limited only on abilities currently on their quickbar (in any game)? Some people want to play on lower level, but using that as an argument? lol |

Originally posted by Rider071 That was 2011, and LOTRO did it first and much better. So no, that wasnt influential at all. Especially not in 2012 where EQ2 was pretty much irrelevant. |

Originally posted by pioneer08 15 abilities not action bars.. where did i say action bars? and yes it does well 14 abilities at the bare minimum till you hit 30 then its 15 at the min I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today.

Originally posted by Aerowyn Well I said you only have 5 abilities which I was correct at. Then you and mik got all huffy puffy so i.agreed you could change weapons but then that weapon still only has 5 abilities those abilities are used by clicking the action bars. Thats where action bars came from. |

Originally posted by mikahr I'm pretty sure he was talking about weapon skills, not skill...skills. You get 5 slots for the universal skills, yes, and changing between weapons is very quick and easy but the number of skills per weapon is still set at 5. Again, many people like to use a certain type of weapon all the time (I was partial to dual wielding pistols on my thief) and don't want to switch the weapon they use.

Originally posted by evilastro The release of EQ2:Extended was 2011, the experiment was for 1 year, the experiment ended in 2012, with the profits exceeding all expectations to the extent it changed an entire companies' stable of games, and heavily influenced other companies in the industry to match the expectations. Turbine did do similar things, but they only affected their own lifespan, not the industry..though you could say they influenced SOE's decision to experiment with it, yes, but not in 2012. |

Originally posted by pioneer08 you have a whole other bar called the utility bar.. on that bar you can have skills that change all 5 of your weapon skill slots. This add a ton more skills to your arsenal.. then you have elementalist who uses 4 elements of 5 skills each plus utility skills and they have summoned weapons the give you a whole new set of skills on your weapon bar.. all in all you do get a lot of skills.. my main gripe with the skill system is not enough choices on just the weapon skills alone. I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.

Originally posted by Ginaz Its not passive aggressive, its just telling you how it is. Having one very defined role to play is simpler than multitasking. If you prefer having a defined role, thats fine, but lets call a spade a spade shall we? |

Originally posted by pioneer08 and my point is there are utility slot skills that give you access to skills that change your entire weapon bar as well so that's even more weapon skills than just the ones of your main and secondary set I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today.

Originally posted by evilastroOriginally posted by Ginaz I take it you have never ran a raid in a trinity mmo? I bet you have never tried to heal, clear wounds, poisons and other effects while your healing your party while paying attention to the boss mechanics. If you think just because you have determined role you are not multitasking then you have never played an mmo. |

Hard to believe this thread is still going. There should be a new phrase "Don't encourage the fanboy"
Has anyone come up with a good answer as to how this game was more influential in 2012 than any other MMORPG? El Psy Congroo |
