• Are taking your money for subs or cash shops

First off, I think this site is great so I'm not stealth bashing or anything.

Whenever I come here I get warnings about security certificates that are out of date.

This has only been happening the last few days.

I believe that isn't a big deal if you block the links with cert errors but could anyone with a bit more knowledge in this area confirm, thanks.

Do you have your computer automatically set the system clock via the internet?

Too much content. What would your mmorpg without battlegrounds?

Your thread title needs to be fixed.

Not really. The 360 was the worst of the 3 consoles last generation and it seems to be more of the same this time around.

---

Hows the most sold system the worst? guess people like spending money on the worst system lol.

---

You know, at the end of the day system specs are worthless. People will go to where the 'good' games are.

Originally posted by nethervoid Agree so many bad MMOs come out it's not worth even looking into a game until it's approaching beta. Also trailers are pointless if they aren't made with game footage.

---

The trailers are 100% game footage.

---

With pre and post processing. Everything to make a trailer look 'larger than life'

Not saying that graphics that trailer are bad, I'm just saying that there always painted in the best possible light.

Gameplay wise, odds are it's going to tank badly because of the mentality between the different cultures.

Wait...from this, you can essentially know exactly what events are going on in the game at what time from where ever, even if you are not logged in?

Dynamic Events API – BETA
https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/events.json?world_id=1001
Optional parameters: world_id, map_id, event_id

This API returns an object with an “events” array. Each element contains the world_id, map_id, event_id, and state of an event. The ids can be translated to strings using the APIs listed below. The optional parameters can be used to filter the results to a desired scope of events.

The possible event states are:
Active – The event is running now
Success – The event has succeeded
Fail – The event has failed
Warmup – The event is inactive, and will only become active once certain criteria are met
Preparation – The criteria for the event to start have been met, but certain activities (such as an NPC dialogue) have not completed yet. After the activites have been completed, the event will become Active.

The raptr thing is easy. Game time is counted even if you're idle at the character select screen.

Its also retroactive if you bought rift on steam (counts hours already acquired through steam)

I got it as soon as i installed raptr

its not as swiftly as it sounds. You can dump the program once you get sl, or do as i do and keep it going because its not a bad app.

Originally posted by Deadlobster what builds are needed? I mean are there loads of DPS/healers and no tanks or anything along those lines?

---

No such thing, you can be all of those in one character (it's a classless game), so you can switch to tank if noone else is in the mood for tanking, then you can switch to heal if that's missing, etc. For a rule of thumb just choose what you like to play the most. I know it's not much of a help :)

And when you get to the endgame, you will see and know your cabal or your regular group and you can pick your role based on that (since above 10.0 the gear grind get worse exponentially, so it's easier to choose only one role and farm the gear to that one)

---

Ok so, This isn't exactly true.

You start off with a very wide array of choices which get progressively smaller as you approach endgame.

When at endgame there is only a very fine about of freedom in builds.

I'm personally a lifer, and really like the game but you have to understand that the perception of choice in this game can be bent frequently.

p.s have fun trying to switch builds via the equipment manager :)

---

I'm just not 'wowified' anymore. I actually don't think it offers an anymore special or diverse endgame than anything else on the market.

Not the same most are different developers then bethesda elderscroll developers.
But for you themepark fans it prolly will.

People keep saying that But bethesda still love to stick their name in the trailers
Soaking up all the good marketing and hiding behind 'its a zenimax game' when its not.

Just thought of an idea that might interest people.
By Clicking the "Originally Posted By" link you would be redirected to the quoted post.
This can help with clarity for when there is multiple layers of quotes or multi quotes.

It's official, Arche Age has been ruined.  After so long of waiting and however long I was still going to have to wait beyond this post, I no longer have to wait.

This is what finally did it for me:

Like all other Asian influenced games, they somehow have to completely ruin it with something that just doesn't make sense.

Anyway, I'm not here to gripe.  I just want to know is there any other games on the horizon that have really interesting exploration with the added bonus of ships and nautical warfare?  Preferably something that is medieval fantasy based.

---

The only real issue i have other than its a bit weird....is that if you have cars then that completely negates the need for horses and other animal mounts...

I realize that nothing but "Endgame" content is not really possible, there will always be a start and a finish, but i think most people understand what i mean with this.

I mean no longer having leveling zones, and simply starting the game out running dungeons with groups and progressing into raid content, with nothing but the focus on gearing up.

I personally play as many MMO's as i can get my hands on hoping to find the next best thing, and the leveling experience in pretty much everyone of them is almost exactly the same as the MMO's i played before it, and It's simply dreadfully boring.

During group content i get to actively meet new people, feel like I'm progressing ( leveling doesn't even feel like progress to me anymore ) and challenging myself with new boss encounters that are difficult to beat, learning strategies and genuinely having fun.

The entire leveling experience however, feels like a mindless grind to me, perhaps this is because MMO's are so very likely to focus on Solo players these days, leveling just doesn't hold any challenges anymore.

What do you think?

---

You mean an adventure game?
