It's a shame, I was interested in this game until they released it in the state they did. It's going to be hard for them to get it all fixed and re-generate a player base.
Thinking of bad quests I'm reminded of old-school EQ. You could get quests with vague instructions that sent you to (sometimes far-off) places you had little or no chance of surviving in for a totally useless reward.
Example: The Kelethin drunk'…
Yeah hot zones tasks are good. Just wait until you do the classic missions though. Each one gives just under 1800pp and the xp is sick. For 2 missions i got 51% of a level (I was lvl 78 at the time) with lesson popped. I could take 8 AAs per mis…
Ok I have confirmed that:
A. SoD expansion is NOT required. I did one yesterday.
B. You do have to have a group with an average level of 80. I don't know if there is a hard minimum level for it. Theoretically you could do it at 62 if the re…
What about roleplay servers?
I mean if you are blindsided by a monster taking a bite out of your rear end, do you think you'd say "Oh golly gosh, it seems a monster has bitten my buttockal region!" Nah you'd probably say some bad words.
Since most armor in MMO games is powered by supposed magic I guess it really doesn't matter how it looks. Whether it covers everything up or lets it all hang out doesn't really matter to me since they are just video game characters. Making the cha…
Thanks for the info Mardy. I was thinking of going another round with EQ and the Mercs feature sounds awesome, but seeing as how that expansion is pretty recent and therefore still $40... maybe later
Last time I played EQ was back in 2005. It's pretty impressive how many things they got right in a game that old. My main was at lvl 74 i think and the grind just got tooooo tedious. Especially after they nerfed the monster mission that people we…
I just re-subbed Sunday. I have a pretty high-level hunter on ner'zhul but I created a new character on moonrunner because I know some people on there. It was fun to play before, but now all it does is lag, disconnect, and crash.
Best thing to do is wait until the game has been out for a while before buying it. Most mmorpgs are nowhere near ready for retail when they are released and many still aren't a year later. It's rare that a mmorpg is released with all of the promis…
that's exactly what I thought of, EQ1 censoring it's own mob names...but you beat me to posting it
I don't think saying "shit" should be viewed any differently than saying "crap" or "poop." I don't think saying "fuck" should be any worse than sa…
It's much better now. I played the beta long ago and didn't think the game would amount to much. About a week ago I thought "what the hell?" and downloaded the trial and I'm enjoying it. I might register eventually.
To me a "grind" in an mmorpg equates to "I'm doing this now so I can have fun later."
Like back when I played SWG if you wanted to master weaponsmith you had to make like 3000 blaster barrels (there was a faster way if you had just the right stu…
I don't care much for IRL. Most of the players are complete idiots. They will only choose leaders from one of two guilds even though there are many more options. The classes are horribly imbalanced...stats like INT mean nothing while characters w…
It wouldn't work for a lot of MMOGs. It worked really well for Guild Wars and got people excited about the game because even during the first "preview weekend" or whatever it was called the game ran smoothly and the systems that were in place worke…
