I see what you did there.

Permadeath keeps idiots out of games. Sadly those are the idiots that cause your game to thrive if you want mass numbers.

No issues on my end! I love not having people who just rush into something to die and then laugh about it and respawn. Call of Duty has caused enough issues with instant gratification and lack of consequence for your actions.

Tried this game, and quit after a few matches.  The community is absolutely intolerable of new players.  This was my first MOBA and I couldn't get through a match without "stupid noob" or "stop feed you f****** retard".  I play games to relax and have fun but I couldn't even enjoy myself for long enough to learn how to properly play.  Seems the majority of people that play moba's are those that have absolutely nothing else going on in there lives and makes the game the most important thing to them.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I recommend getting some friends together and learning at the same time. It makes the experience much better.

However, your comment at the end about people having no lives so they play INSERT_GAME/INSERT_WHATEVER, is ridiculous. It's pointless to even mention because you're speaking for such a large audience that you have no possibility of being correct in a blanket statement like that.

Welcome to reading and comprehension.

He meant:

They, TRION WORLDS, said the reason he was banned was because he was using a third party program. He isn't saying that he said/typed out in general/world chat: I am using a third party program.

Nevermind, don't care to get into this terribly sidetracked thread hahaha.

I can tell you were a game designer and not a web designer or even an artistic designer.

That blob of text is not going to be read as much as you like simply because you are unaware of a simple thing called legibility.

Are you attempting to write to pre-schoolers?

I hope you realize that even in your apparent best attempt that your ability to consistently indent is as absent as your "older guy" vision. Believe it or not, you have the ability to increase the size of a standard typeface as well as bolding if you honestly have an issue with visibility.

In the event that you truly were unable to see your own text, I highly suggest using a text editor to type out your novel in an extremely large font ranging from 36px to over 9000px and then reducing the size once you paste it all here on the forums for others to read. That is, if they can read it.

Other than that, I believe that the majority of what you're asking for has been exhausted through many add-ons for games.

Your belief that players should play the game rather than the box is something I agree with 100% even to the extent of wanting HUDs removed, forcing players to monitor their allies on their own.

One issue with the proposed system is that depending on the resolution there may be too much UI present. This is often seen on many MMO based videos displaying PvE or PvP/RvR content.

Thank you for your randomly capitalized words and editing for clarity.

Your friend,

"Than"

It's so sad to see people referring to any Elder Scrolls game as "good" combat.

Hasn't anybody played an actual skill based combat game like Mount & Blade? Or do most people get turned off because they get slaughtered at the second they have to remotely think about blocking/parrying/attacking IN A DIRECTION?

I would prefer neither combat style be put into CU honestly.

I'm not sure I understand how/why so many people are benchmarking @ 1280x720. Is that due to default settings or do people still work on such tiny monitors?

Sorry if you have to work on a monitor that small and low resolution. None of these look to be from laptops, so I'm not counting those.

Replace @ your local retailer if that's where you purchased it. If you purchased it through Dell, they will replace it.

One thing to keep in mind w/ the UltraSharp series is that their warranty is ridiculously awesome. You literally will get a replacement overnighted to you. Read up on it. It's very handy.

Should it have Camelot in it to attract more ex-DAoC players or should it be more neutral?

The abbrevation should also sound cool. DAoC and CU are fine. "Crusaders of Camelot" would be disastrous.

 

I can understand why he chose to include the word "Camelot" since it's been so popularized in our culture in movies, etc.  But it just seems so unfair to the other mythologies in the game.  Personally, I'd unchain the word "Camelot" from the title altogether.  I think a title describing what it actually is would be best.  Something like:  

 

"Lords of Myth & Fantasy"

 

or

 

 "The Warring Kingdoms of Mythology"

As was suggested in the first post, it should be catchy and not have the acronym of CoC (Crusaders of Camelot). Neither of these suggestions have any ring to their acronym (LMF or WKM), however I would love to build upon your first suggested name:

Lords of Myth & Fantasy: Arthur & Others

#1 acronym NA

Why? Do you like frustration, punishment  and repetition so much?

Sometimes I hear that people like permadeath mechanics because it makes it more "real", but  permadeath doesn't bring the game closer to any real life stakes because everything else about it is game-like so it's still unrealistic. It's just annoyance for the sake of annoyance.

 

 

 

 

Permadeath makes you have to play a real game, not Call of Duty.

Not punishing people for stupidity keeps people from hating each other more than they already do by either weeding out idiots or by making people actually pay attention. The choice is theirs.

Personally I'm playing Einherjar and enjoying it a little more because it is more in depth on a larger scale, but this game's action makes the turn based system seem almost real time hahaha.

It's not about what game is "better". It's about what game you have fun playing.

I played Chess at tourney level for 11 years. As much as people would think, I didn't make fun of people who like to play Checkers.

That's like making fun of people who play specific specs because they just like playing them. It might not be the top DPS, the top HPS, or the top whatever, but if they are having fun, that to a company means one more subscriber they will keep because it's an option.

Honestly I'm subbing just to support it. I stopped playing AC1 a while back and although I destroyed people in AC2FK and was nearly maxed, I would and will and am going to play because I like the setting and the concept of the classes.

Every element that every game has can be dumbed down on paper to essentially be the exact same thing as every other game. Who cares? People still play Heroes of Newerth even if it isn't the biggest MOBA, the most advanced MOBA, the most accessible MOBA, or the anything MOBA. They play because they like it.

EDIT: yes i know that was ingame images but idc.

Yes your right because FFO did so amazingly well right. Who should be taking notes again lol.

 

The trailer was awesome :D Can't wait to play it!

I'm happy to see that you have the ability to read and comprehend.

Thank you for your input which is equally as pointless as my post.

I'm gonna go Google to find out what FFO is. Hadn't heard of it.

/sarcasm still on

This trailer did not hype anybody up. It didn't show much, but I understand they were going for the story of invasion.

I watched the videos on YouTube.  I read the reviews in magazines.  I read many forum threads.  I got excited about the game.  I went to GuildWars 2.com and clicked the Buy Now button.  I was ready to buy a copy for me and my girlfriend and we were gonna give this new adventure a try.

Digital version...SOLD OUT.   Digital Deluxe version...SOLD OUT.  The $150 Collector Edition...the only option.

Really?  Do you honestly think people in the 21st century believe you can sell out of a digital copy?  Your efforts did not net you $300 for two new players, it didn't even net you $120 as I was expecting to shell out.  It netted you $0 because of your greed.

Some might say, their servers are too full.  How long does it take to throw up another server?  Another dozen servers if needed.  If you don't have enough servers to meet the game demand.  Add servers.  Don't just create some artificial scarcity by which people have to buy a $150 version.

There are copies in stores, but I won't be buying it.  Not after the bad taste this shady strategy has left with me.  It could be an awesome game.  But I won't give it another look.  You had an opportunity to make a sale, and you refused it with your fail attempt to funnel people into an overpriced version of your game.  Fire your marketing people.  You guys are missing out on who knows how many thousand sales.

Too bad the $150 CE is retail. DERP.

i cant imagine why people would wanna shit all over this game and powerlevel till 80. to those hitting 80 already - you must really hate the game (or play 24/7).

i logged about 50 hours on my guardian, enjoying DE's, personal story, spvp, tpvp and WvW. im only level 22 >.<  im enjoying every square foot of this beautiful world. 

50 hours? Highly doubt that. Literally completing two zones, which should, at most, take you 20 hours (giving you very large amounts of extra time here).

It's not that people are rushing toward 80, it's that they're actually seeing this content you say they're not seeing. This game isn't a grind fest. Levels are not an indicator of progress as a player or as a character, so stop trying to make that the case. Literally following the carrot on a stick that this game does for you w/ the hearts will get you to level 22 in less than half the time it seemed to take you. Doing other things, all of which provide XP to your character, adds up.

I honestly find it hard to believe that it has taken you that long to hit 22 unless you're documenting everything you do and having conversations with yourself about what just happened, how much you loved it, and how much nobody else could have possibly seen the same thing as you because they're all rushing to 80 and missing out.

On my Guardian character for instance I've done almost everything possible up to the point of being 25. I've completed almost everything in every starter zone, done a 15-25 zone, WV3'd for 10-12 hours, all within 25'ish hours on the character.

Because I've leveled quicker than you, does that mean I saw less than you? Nope. Does it mean I appreciate it more or less than you? Nope.

It just means you're slower at what you do. It doesn't mean you experienced more than us. People do things at different rates. Stop being discriminant.

Check my recent highlights. Small premade group of 5-10 [TSho] with heavy experience in DAoC RvR and Shadowbane. We're running around as level 8-32 in WvWvW.

No matter the size of the zerg, coordination will prevail in the overall picture. Team makeup is key most of the time, but we've been running  ragtag group for now, not our sPvP groups, and we were able to dominate despite being overwhelmed purely because of coordination and somewhat good calls hahaha.

Enjoy!

Fury 2 - Let's see it!

Heya does anybody have a key available? Trying to get one to spread to the family.

Good luck and have fun all!

Holler @ me with a key if you can!

Good luck to everyone and hope you enjoy the game!
