[Interview] Elder Scrolls Online: Paul Sage Talks Beta, Crafting, and Progression
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 1/22/13 3:51:28 PM
I wish there were some Argonians and Khajit too in the trailer. That would give it more character aside from other things but one thing i don't understand is why is the Altmer not golden skinned. Aside from that it is an incredible cinematic and i literally can't tell if it's part live action part cgi or full cgi.
Btw, are they still on Hero engine? That's my biggest gripe about the game. All the other concerns getting looked at imo and it will be a pretty good game probably (i can't help but be optimistic about it being a huge TES fan). In the end i'm excited, can't lie. |

[Interview] TERA: New F2P Model Combating the Stereotype
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 1/18/13 10:40:18 AM
Looking good. Seems like they learned from crap f2p fiasco models and they are genuine in their desire to create a fair model that will make players want to spend money instead of frocing them. Worth a try.

Age of Conan: Unchained: Part 1 of Secrets of the Dragon's Spine Launches
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 1/10/13 10:56:38 AM
I always liked AoC. It's really a good game with lots of character and quality imo. If only f2p was better so people actually played it.

[Column] Neverwinter: Big Shoes to Fill
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 1/10/13 10:50:48 AM
Hey, congrats for overcoming the disease. When i first played NWN after Baldur's Gate series (only the best games ever made) i was a bit disappointed but then i loved it. Loved the expansions too, especially Underdark. I still have fond memories of my characters and some amazing quests and adventures. Didn't like NWN2 as much but i have high hopes for this one. I'm very hopeful that it's gonna be awesome and Cryptic will do right this time around. If not, they are in for a huge crapstorm of rarely seen before scale and probably never be able to touch anything else. |

TERA: F2P 'Subscription-Free' Option Added
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 1/09/13 8:15:30 AM
Originally posted by Coolit I wish En Masse operated the game in EU too. I don't trust Gameforge and it will be a worse model for sure if they went f2p too. Even besides the model thing, i don't wanna play on Gameforge's service so if i check this out it will be on En Masse's service whether it will be EU or NA will see.
btw, nice line about the hotbars lol. It sounds even more ridicilous when devs make fun of it in their own trailers.
Edit: EU site is updated and it doesn't look bad actually; http://tera-europe.com/tera-club.html But i remember there being censorship on armors and blood in EU and we saw how Aion got updates ages later than NA under Gameforge so i'll check it out on NA probably. |

[Column] Elder Scrolls Online: Avoiding the Wall
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 1/08/13 2:13:39 PM
It would be good if instead of invisible walls, you could go into other faction territories but npcs ignore and insult you while guards and such warn you to leave and remind you that no one will trade with you or do business with you so you'll have to leave eventually. And if you participated in any pvp the game knows it and makes the guards attack you after warning or something. Of course nothing stopping you grinding creatures and such but majority of players won't choose to play that way probably so no big deal maybe. And if you come across any native pcs you get a debuff when attacking them so you are at a considerable disadvantage if you try to gank people there (or you can't even attack them or something).

[Column] Star Wars: The Old Republic: SWTOR Anniversary Edition
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/26/12 5:44:59 PM
I tried it as preferred status when my sub ran out and after seeing that i can't even choose my quest rewards and i have to play with decreased xp (not counting looking like an ass while doing it because of cosmetic restrictions) i just logged out and uninstalled the game. GG Bioware.
Now i'm happy just with my TSW+GW2 combo which costs nothing concurrently and still are full games. It would be perfect with SW added as the sci-fi counterpart(well, as much as SW can be) but they really messed it up imo. |

Age of Conan: Unchained: F2P Option Retooled
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/15/12 12:02:31 PM
Originally posted by hockey98 [mod edit] He is talking about the issue in which customers who paid for the expansion are asked to pay for it again in order for it to be unlocked (and only weekly and for each zone seperately). So they are taking something away from you which you have already paid for and putting it behind a paywall and that is unacceptable.
I won't be going back unless they change this and find a solution for AA. |

[Column] The Secret World: The Revenue Model Shift
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/12/12 2:07:23 PM
Originally posted by marz.at.play Exactly, i can't believe they locked Khitai behind sub when i originally payed for the x-pac. It would have been great for AoC too as it will be great for TSW.
This was a very right move for TSW. Kudos to the team, i bought it instantly. BTW BioWare, this is how you do things. You may weep now. |

[Interview] The Secret World: Joel Bylos On the 'Buy to Play' Change
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/12/12 1:04:37 PM
Joel, Shut up and take my money.
B2P is the best model imo and TSW did the most correct choice they could have made and i applaud them for it. Joel answers questions very sincerely it seems and it doesn't feel like PR speech. I hope they will get the success they deserve.
I'm buying the game right away. |

The Secret World: Funcom's New Doomsday Prophet
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/10/12 11:28:30 AM
Originally posted by Theocritus I don't know why people are jumping at this. Maybe it wasn't posted with good intentions but it's not that off the mark. TSW did sell poorly and it was below Funcom's expectations.
Calling it end of Funcom may be hyperbole but Funcom did say they were gonna shift to smaller budget, systems driven games instead of developing big budget AAA titles with dev content driven games. Personally, i wish both TSW and Funcom the best. And i liked the video too, it was funny :)
BTW, drop the box price and make it free download+sub maybe? If they are looking to change their pricing and don't wanna drop the sub altogether i mean. |

[Column] General: Single Player MMO
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 11/27/12 4:27:49 PM
I mostly agree with the OP but regards to SP MMO claim i have to say i did a lot more grouping and socializing in 2 weeks of SW:ToR (tnx to heroics and such) than i did in 2.5 months of GW2 (just an example). And i saw tons more RP'ers in both SW:ToR and WoW than any other game in recent memory.
So when you look at it that way, it is a bonus that those games have a cool storyline too y'know, in addition to classic mmo features. And i really like the dialogues on ToR. I look forward to every conversation opportunity because i get to see my character act and i just like the choices :/ It's a lot more fun than running aorund like headless chicken watinig for the next "dynamic" thing to do or just collecting 10 chicken poo for the local farmer :S |

[Column] Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Burden of Freedom
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 11/24/12 11:05:32 AM
This article is so much win. Good job.
I cannot believe they even restrict simple quest rewards but what do you expect from morons that restrict quickbars and hide/show helmet, lol.
They need to act fast and fix their f2p and that incredibly stupid preferred status privileges or it will just be a running joke, and such a shame too. |

[Column] Guild Wars 2: The Lost Shores
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 11/19/12 8:48:53 AM
Phase 1 of the event was so boring and dull(the invasion), i didn't even bother to follow the later steps and didn't even log-in for the rest of the weekend.
BTW, do they have to destroy at least one landmark in every event? Is there some kind of threshold for that? |

[Column] Guild Wars 2: Gear or Character Progression?
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 11/14/12 10:53:05 AM
Look, my character really didn't change much since i hit 20, skill-wise. I nailed down my weapon preferences and purchased the skills i wanted and now i'm playing the same character for days and days until the endgame dungeons. Maybe do something about that instead of putting in stupid systems in the name of progression and shaming your own manifest. Give me real progression instead of new stats to chase.
Well i guess that manifest was just for marketing hype and creating new buzzwords.
PS: What the hell is "elder game"? You can't use the word "endgame" because Anet tried to sell it's game as "there is no endgame, all the game is endgame" and now everyone realizes it's just BS and writers try to cover Anet's BS up? |
