Bioware numbers spin, and is SWTOR *really* a success, a dissection.
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 2/06/12 2:45:01 AM
Well all i can say is that by personal experience the server i was on the sith population dropped by about 50% after the first month. our 350 man guild dropped to a 160 man guild and some servers was so desolate that on primetime the sith mainhub had 5 players online.. Im not sure about the numbers but after the first month a higher ratio of players quit. Alot higher than most MMORPGs post first month! |

Originally posted by stealthbr Im quite sure its the GTX280 as i have owned both the 260 and the 280 and attempts to overclock with lesser success due the heating issues and how unstable those cards actually are. Someone mentioned a blown capacitator and i think thats the issue really. You can buy a GTX560 cheap and it performs very well. If you want a GPU with higher performance the GTX570OC packs quite a punch and is cheaper than a 580/590. |

The GTX 470 is a great card and theres no good reason to change it. Great pick on the motherboard btw. The Sabertooth cards are amasing! But i cannot stress this enough that you should change to a i7 proccessor! AMDs arent keeping up the pace anymore and the i7's are simply amasing and thats coming from a overclocking maniac that only used AMD's for over 10 years! |

Its the GTX 280 its very well known for heat issues and probably has some circuit problems by looking the video. 85c is waaay too high for the 280 becose unlike most NVIDIA cards the 280 is one of the few cards that dont handle heat well! You should swap it dude! |

Sounds like either the Windows7 install is messed up or the Bios needs a reset and perhaps a hardreset. You can start with downloading a Lite version of windows off a torrent site and reset the bios (thru the bios) then after use your legit Windows7 key. If that doesnt work theres allways a way to hardreset the motherboard usually by fiddling with the round small battery that sits in it. Its quite common that motherboards need a hardreset. Any idea what MB it is? Is it a X58 board? |

SWTOR has proved you can have story in a sandbox MMO...
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 2/03/12 12:52:16 PM
Theres no reason for a sandbox to have a story if its a true sandbox. Thats the problem with your point OP.
Also wasting dev time to make it story driven would affect the depth of the sandbox component. |

Why the Hardcore vs Casual argument completely misses the mark.

The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 2/03/12 6:06:10 AM
Well Casuals are newcomers and theres alot of them. The reason why the casual vs hardcore exists is becose the old hardcore players industry has been overtaken by people that see WoW like the mother of mmorpgs and changing the whole gaming genre that we love into a huge themepark industry.
Offcourse we are mad yet the fact that we are called hardcore becose we want to work for our achivement, spend months exploring, leveling and setting up social contacts doesnt make us hardcore.. It makes us more true to the genre. WoW hit this genre hard with the millions of high demanding casuals that dont understand our hunger for challenge and time consuming things that forces you to use your head. Thats how i see it.. And casuals dont stand a chance in EvE "lategame". I think thats one of the reasons the vets love it so much! |

With the success of blizzard, bioware, Bethesda NEXT?
General Gaming « General Discussion 2/03/12 3:07:44 AM
Bethesda has gone too soft and the only thing they would be able to make is just another themepark. The TES and ME series have been dumbed down to the point where the depth and complexity is nonexistant.

Why do people go so bananas over MMORPGs?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 2/03/12 1:27:03 AM
Mostly due to the fact that most MMORPG players want a game they can enjoy for longer periods of time and right now even the newer casual crowds are asking for more depth and complexity as it prelongs the gametime by alot. I think personally that the Themepark crap has gone too far and people are starting to open their eyes to the old school and sandbox alternatives. |

Originally posted by Youngg SWTOR is currently in a heavy decline in playerbase and 1-49 has enough content for most to be happy. Sadly the endgame has very little content PVP wise and not enough PVE wise. EvE is running steady as usual and getting new good updates constantly. Its one of the jewels in the MMORPG market. |

A WoW player is as casual as it gets and they tend to demand that well being and flame anything that isnt headed in that direction. The old mmorpg players applaud well made communities,exploration and learning curve and dont mind spending month to reach your destination. WoW was innovative and while its a well produced game it strives against so many fondumental rulesets of the non-casual fanbase.

My list and based on unbiased info from the forum members as it seems without listening to Casual WoW kids.
BAD MMOS: Dark and Light Warhammer Age of Conan D&D Online Final Fantasy XIV Rune of Magic Tabula Rasa Champions Online Star Trek Online DC Universe Star Wars The Old Republic
GOOD MMOS: (Worth playing or trying) Aion Anarchy Online Guildwars Rift (Casual) World of Warcraft (Casual) Ragnarok Online Lineage 2 EVE Online Darkfall (PVP Hardcore) (Not for everyone) Vanguard (Bad Start) (Not for everyone) (Getting Ressurected it seems) Everquest Everquest II Dark Ages of Camelot Ultima Online Fallen Earth (Not for everyone) Lord of the Rings (Not for everyone) Star Wars Galaxies (PreCU) |

Originally posted by Valgar1 Well it promotes devs taking shortcuts and making it more of a easy-get-addicted-for-casuals-game. The devs have lost the sense of adventure and exploration and taking shortcuts for groups, auction houses etc. There is no community, There is no exploration and the way to max level is just a race! Old titles gave us worlds to live and breathe in! To be honest i hate WoW but the fact still stands that its a well produced game but it invited casual play into a hardcore genre. |
