Problem is 50% are wow clones.20% are substandard. 20% pay2win.8% bugged to death . 2% worth playing but already played them too much.

My recomned list: eve online,ultima online, guild wars 2, ragnarok online 1 (ro2 is yet another wow clone).

Might be good: blade and soul.

Rangers are overpowered in spvp atm. They are just fine in pve.

i got 1k+ hours with ranger so i know that.

Would like some help if you or someone else could point me to a PvE build. I saw a suggestion to go SB/Sword+Torch or SB/GS. Do I trait and gearing out for condition damage cause crits seem king right now. Or should I push all traits to the pet? Given I have a Warrior is it even going to come close to feeling playable? I'm not expecting the damage output to be equal but after the patch my Ranger build took a heavy hit.  

Warrior rifle combines best sb and lb skills. auto atack is even better as it doesnt need flanking.

U do know u cant even see 120hz ?

But its cool that u bought a unsellable 3d display that they now relabeled/marketed a 120HZ SUPERGAMER display.

99.9% of the people cant even see 60hz.

Yes you can see 120 hz. But not on still image. Start first person shooter.. Cap your refresh at 30 frames do 360 degree turn. Now cap your refresh at 200hz  and again do that.  You will see huge difference.

Imagine hiring a person to play as an interactive NPC to entertain and involve players in things.

If you wanted to pay this person $40,000.00 a year and fund him on $15 monthly subscriptions, he wuold have to entertain/interact with 222 players each month to pay for it.

 

Imagine a free to play game, with a cash shop, and a Premium Service of interacting directly with GM's.. Or a full on subscription game that promises  unique adventures.

Would this be doable?

Can one man provide 222 with $15 worth of meaningful entertainment each month?

If so, how could this be achieved? How much interaction is worth a subscription?

What kind of interaction would be expected for $15?

Why pay 40k? hire someone from eastern europe just 6300$ a year they will ksis your hands they got work.  Only need to entertain 36 ppl to break even.

Just play every class. All classes are nice. But some feel like flowing without problem, and some feel unfit for one person.

considering this game favors look as opposed to stats I sortof feel like cooking and jewelcrafting will sortof fall short and not be as popular.

 

Food has some great buffs, also chefs can create dyes. Not sure about jewelcrafting though.

If they fall short they will be profitable. I bet weapons and armors will cost less than materials. Becosue "minerals i gather are free" crowd.

I'm surprised you guys quit after you hit max level.  Because the "leveling phase" is the most boring part of the game for me.

Besides the leveling phase is mostly solo and you don't get to play with people in most game.  The content itself is boring too.  Kill 10 boars, go fetch that item.  THat's what the typical leveling phase of todays mmorpg looks like.

 

And that's the problem with modern MMO's, which is why I started the discussion in the first place :P  So at least we're all on the same page now!

Guess why guild wars 1 was so popular.  Max lvl after 2 days or so. You played for skins, gathered skill unlocks, pvp. Exp gived skill points not lvls. Even if you hated that fast leveling, you could make max lvl character for pvp 1 min after you installed game.

Get ssd for operating system partition.

And 2 same hdd in striping raid mode. For everything else.

Also Grab cooler for graphic card too, stock ones are so noisy.

Also rember that intel cpu alone cost same as same performance amd cpu+ motherboard. Saved money willl get you much better graphics card.

So you work (farm) for free i see. I want to hire you. Also 120$ for 2 months is much cheaper than chinesse.

You should check each class. Like i did. Never considered necro as main but testing all classes fallen in live with him :D

"ranged is op" <- every class can play range. GTFO fail  players.

You dont need to do finish him in order to kill someone. You can still fire at him from distance, making hp bar go much faster.

Before beta:

WIll play: Guardian, Thief

Probably Play: Ranger, Mesmer, Elementalist

Wont play:  Warrior, Enginner , Necromancer

After beta:

WIll play: Ranger, Necromancer

Probably Play: Warrior, Guardian, Enginner,

Wont play:   Thief, Mesmer, Elementalist

I wont bother with crafting. I bet "minerals i gather are free" crowd willl make crafted items cheaper than materials.

Not alll quests have hearths. In quinsdale there is hiden cellar with bandits boss. Asuran that upgrades moas.. Its qest is so funny with catching moas :D . Add many other. But wow crowd think hearths are everything.
