A lot of the time the premium ships are not as good as the upgraded versions of the regular ships.
-
Effectively, there are no levels when it comes to combat. It only effects loot, gear and skills. You will notice that NPCs don't even display a level any more. I think it's a MUCH better system than the tired old WOW way of doing things. It means y…

The NPC/spawn mechanics right now are heavily rigged. They pretty much run off a script and it will spawn X if condition Y is met. There is no persistence or consistency. So if you have cargo run missions it will throw pirates at you. If your smuggi…

OfficerFriendlyEQ2 said: over 5 million subs lol wow that's a lot of toons playing. I don't see the issue tbh Seeing as they used to have over 10 million. That is basically half their revenue gone in about 5 years. That is never a good t…

MMOs aren't in decline. Just WOW. It's not surprising why. Since mid-way through the second expansion (when it's good developers quit) it has been in a downward spiral and now it's garbage, with a subscription.

I don't think it work work at this point. The people that played back in vanilla moved on long ago, I doubt many would come back. Plus even the vanilla game just wouldn't stand up to the modern competition without at least some updates. WOW is doom…

TBH the game is very good now. It had a rocky start but they have really turned it around. Which is a rare thing for MMOs. Combat is some of the best I've seen in an MMORPG. It's very interactive and less about button mashing. Not much happens autom…
-
Well....ESO isn't really like other MMOs. It's about as close to Oblivion/Skyrim gameplay as you can get in MMO form. Balance isn't so straightforward like wow etc. In wow most of the class abilities are basically copy/pastes of each other and ther…

Well they are trying to keep costs low. Even chat uses a lot of bandwidth when theres half a million users on it.
-
Yea chat functions are a bit lacking. I think the main problem is the game's multiplayer part is P2P. The only things on the server are the economy and the galaxy itself. Theres no central chat server for it to go though, so it's only limited to in…

At the moment it is basically a remake of the original 1984 Elite, which is quite simplistic. But it's what was planned for the initial release. It will get much better once they start adding in the stuff from the sequels. Plus the other planned co…

It's an easy fix. Just a matter of looking a the server logs, seeing when the money appeared and correcting the database (I assume they are using SQL). After making a fix ofc. They won't let it stick, especially with money prizes up for grabs. So …
-
Yes and no.... Yes because technically everyone is connected to the same server. Which handles stuff like economy, stats, money, exploration data, etc. Even stuff you do in solo mode affects the economy for other players. No because the "physical"…

The game is already good. Even though only about half of the content is actually in the game. The galaxy is truly mind-boggling massive as well. There's "only" about 2400 systems in the beta. But each system can contain multiple planets, moons, ast…

This game was never going any where from the start really. Looking at the competition and 3000ad's previous games, I doubt they have the expertise to pull it off. To sufficient quality at least.

Originally posted by cura Originally posted by Axxar I think a subscription fee would really limit the potential playerbase of this game. Especially as the network architecture is based on a peer to peer model, such an overly greedy move would als…

1.2 million is low for an IP like Elder Scrolls. I think the reason they are not releasing official figures (and may never do) is because it's way below what they expected. Every time a company goes quiet about this kind of thing there is something …

The Anaconda also has point defence turrets which can shoot down missiles etc. It's basically a mini destroyer. They are hard as nails to take down and will rip through a cobra in no time at all. The Lakon is the biggest playable ship in the Alpha.…

They should have the trading and exploration alpha out in the next few weeks (alpha 4). Which will be a 200ly bubble from the procedural galaxy. Should be fun But yea, considering SC's funding you would expect a lot more from them than some concep…
