Welcome to the next game to be over-hyped in to such a state that it will never live up to the wet dreams of the nerds who hype it, and then it fails.

Also i like to point out that it is A LOT easier to sit down as an outsider, unbound by any constraints and wish up a nice solution to all problems, and a entire thing entirely to make said solution work within the constraints that is usualy found within a organisation, having to work with old baggage and split vision.

That being said input is always input and only a fool ignores it.

Hi

i need some help.

I have a US account (from way back in the days) but i libe in europe so i can not get a costume code for my account.

So i wonder if someone could be so kind and grab me a code and then PM it to me.

I would be forever thankful.

Best regards

anual pass.. 'nuff said.

So in DnD terms the mucnhkins are crying because they can no longer make the feeble quasimodo that can not avoid a snail but level a mountain with spells... 

It have been proved over and over again that people that actually like min-max:ing for the math side of it are very few and far apart. The people who like min-maxing because it destorys people are a fair bit more but they only like it for the fact the most people are not min-maxers and thus fall easy prey to this.

Here is my tip

If you like to Min-Max to dominate PvP... Pick up bloody Magic: The Gathering.

They way i see it this gives everyone at least a fighting chance and the game is not much more based on infividual skill. You the player have to play smart to dominate instead on relying on your borderline glitched WMD

That being said though i think this was a lose/lose scenario for Blizzard, if they did not change stuff people would have complained about paying for a expansion to D2 with some more dynamic enviorments. And the other route.. well just look at Lobo's post.

Well the first 30 minutes of diablo 1 and 2 was not the bloody brilliant either, and they seem to have turned out well.

Personally i found it about as captivating as the others... Good for a short while here and there but not something i care for in the long run. But since i get my for free it could ghit on toast for all i care.

But i guess diablo fans had painted a picture clos to the second comming of christ/nirvana/valhalla/*insert religious rapture here* and it is no way anything can live up to that. It should all be the same but completley new and revolutionary...

Good luck with that.

Well old is not always worse..

MY old 8800 Nvidia card atill kicks some serious arse and i will mourn the day i have to switch it out.

Hummm...

If i have to pick a few i would say

Motor City Online: The brave but batshit crazy detailed racing MMO by EA that pretty much only true petrolheads and educated mechanics could understand. Also the driving was not all that... Did not really get out of beta.

Champions Online: The "new" City of Heroes that were going to de-throne the old dog, player verdict... they did nothing right. A literally last minute change to the game did nothing to make people happy.

Auto Assault: In many ways this was a brilliant little game, and today it would have made a very good facebook game. But in -06 it was just to weird and out there. It did die pretty quick

Tabula Rasa/Warhammer Online: Both games went through some serious changes leading up to their release. TR went through IIRC three different concepts during it's development and Warhammer online almost died before it even saw the light of day as the original studio developing it could not figure out how to make a budget and ran out of money long long before they har a product to present... The project was then given to mythic... And development was cut way way short. A shitty game was released.

1; Not really, Comming from UO it is pretty nice to know that the set of plate sword and board i just created using my last ingots can't be stolen by a roving band of insane clowns that does it just for the "lulz". Thanks but no thanks.

2:Agreed but deep and fun is not the same thing.. In SWG you were pretty much forked if you did not have the respawn system down to a second as no one wanted to buy anything but the absolute best. But Project Entropia have what you are looking for in that department. To bad you are about 6 years behind the good crafters in that game

3: And general logic dictates that the less complex your graphics are the more people can play your game at a resonable level, and while games like WoW look dated atleast you can buy it due to the simplistic style.. unlike a "realistic" game that never age well. As for the "super" styled gear... It is about siluet recognition, you should be able to identify what is infront of you based on visuals... WAR had some pretty cool ideas going on with this (it was saddly scrapped) to put it simply your character would "age" as he leveld up becomming worn and hardend.

4: Kick-starter is over there and indiegogo is overthere... Just get cracking on it. After all they say that if you build they will come.

5: Well i agree to a ceartin point, but them again i now have a disposable income and i spend it the way i want... And looking at the price of a pub-nigh or a visit to the cinema... .. . *shudders* Most RMT schemes look pretty good.

6: As an old UO player again i say... thanks but no thanks... Nothing like working for houers clearing a place only to have some gank squad swipe in and WTFPwn you and kill the big bad... But i agree that it could be more done to the instance system to make it a bit more random.

7: Very few games have companions, only GW1 and DDO comes to mind (are prolly more though) and DDO relys very much on class skills and GW1 was deigned with a more casual idea in mind.

8: Huh...? Eh...? Pass them shrooms man. no MMO i played EVER gave you anything but crap scraps from the start. (Apart form Eve... but otoh i got a scrap ship instead)

So yeah... I think you are a dying breed and i think you should man up and try to make your own game.. all the tools you need are out there and with the number of "game design" schools out there closing in on 2 per gamer finding people to work for you shoudl not be that much of a problem.

Be a doer and not a don't:er

Also to be picky i think that the hammer is Thralls Doomhammer

To be honest i think that desperate pretty much sums up the entire MMO market these days... i think the MMO-bubble is about to burst just like the whole IT-Sector did a few years a go.

This is still a seriously fun game if you look for a nicely paced RPG to play with your frinds (or former pnp gaming group that due to real life and age no longer can meet)

It is not the second comming of Eaton.

I still consider this game an insult to WAR and the most definate proof that they simply gave up and tucked WAR away on pilot light until the day it dies on it's own accord.

Well i for one is glad, the info we had gotten so far sounded like a half arsed attempt to cash in on the Warhammer IP.. and we all know how good that went the last time.

Going to be intersting to see what they make of it, since Space Marine was the worst snozze fest i ever tried the demo of.

He should as they say in politics "take a break" from his official duties, dont care jack if he play on ot not but until this have blown over they should have a interim filling his position.

But we should also remember that two wrong does not make one right and it is pretty ironic that so many people that think his way of acting gives them the right to behave the very same way, if not worse.

I would actually pay pretty good to been able to see his face when he saw what he said, and it sunk in that it went far far beyond the usual trolling that GS does... And even better i would like to see the messages from CCP to him.

I just got it for my MM, but the trouble is, the graphics surround the character with a swirling globe,  which makes things blurry, but more importantly, makes my eyes water.

There doesn't seem to be a no FX option in the tailor screen. Anything else to turn off these graphics? The one for the Shield Generator doesn't bother me, but that doesn't swirl nearly as much...

IIRC there is some settings file you can much around with. It will suppress all the FX's though. Your best course of action would be to either color it a very bright or dark color as this can ease the problem and then simply tell the devs that you have this problem. Many effects have been tweaked before due to causing problems for players, make a thread on the oifficial forum if you have not and see if more people have this problem.

the problem i see with a MMO compared to a off-line SP game is that you need a much higher budget for operation of the game A SP game you can pretty much do adn be done with, a MMO takes a lot of development even after it is "done" but why not try it. After all as i understand there is a minimal risk invoived with a kickstarter project.

Ofc nothing could get me in to the gaming biz... i value my sanity and ulcer free innards way to much.

frist and forme most scrolls does not work on new accounts.. you need an old and inactive account, ergo you need to be a former subscriber to the game.

As for the pets and mounts... At least on the server i play pets dont sell all that well RTM or not.

And how can you say it is finished when you your self say that the population will remain high...

Your way of logic is a bit strange..

A more correct title woudl have been

"WoW is finished for me and here is why I think so"

Since it is far from finsihed for a lot of people.

Did anyone expect anything else... He's from goonsquad... He prolly felt that he needed to uphold some sort of e-peen rep and decided to troll CCP for letting him speak public.

Seriously unfunny guy... Could have been funny if he had keept it a bit more narrow... But this was just unfunny.

get a Razer Naga or a decent keyboard and the problem is solved.
