I haven't purchased SL yet, and if they've substantially changed the macro system I may not. The macro system was one of the things that differentiated Rift from other games. If I want a complex rotation, I can play my WoW Druid, if I want a simple …
I think the whole "trinity" discussion isn't as much about the classes, as about the direction of the games. Most WoW classes have a large degree of flexibility - you can do any non-raid content with a group of all druids, all paladins, all monks, a…
Originally posted by FrodoFragins I've now played a good 60 hours or so in TL2. I'm pretty bored at this point. I lasted about 150 hours in D3 so hours per dollar actually favor TL2. But I don't expect to go back to TL2 unless runic actually adds…
Here's the thing though: It is widespread, and potentially game-breaking. gessekai332 is absolutely right when he says that the number of real players dwarf bots. Percentage-wise, they seem to be a minor nuisance. But the fact that they can be found…

I'm not understanding your problem with me not seeing any. /shrug
Fair enough, although these teleports were much, much farther than a 1200 range, and nearly back-to-back. How…

What's hard to understand is your dismissive attitude towards a serious problem, based on zero experience with it.
I'll get back to you when it's a problem for me. In the mean time …

It's not "low", it's random. Everyone has a PuG story where they absolutely kicked ass, and many more they don't remember where the group was OK.
I've been in PuGs where one member ragequit because we all sucked (we did), and then the 4 of us remai…

Obviously no one can argue with an opinion, but 3-6 seem wildly subjective. I think the Engineer is much more interesting than Barbarian, in fact I've always groaned at Diablo's sl…

TL2 pluses over D3:
1) offline mode
2) sending pets to town
3) $20
4) actual stat allocation
5) skill tree with actual skill upgrades
6) D2-like soundtrack
D3 pluses over TL2:

Its not the haters, its not the guys that would never play it, but the ones that want to ban it.
How do you ban Permadeath? You mean like lobbying your Senator to make Diablo, Rogue and Dwarf Fortress illegal?

Diablo 2/3 Hardcore players are quite common, so I'm not sure why you think there's "hate" for the idea.
Lot of people have already chosen that playstyle.

If a majority of players are happy with these features, why do they leave most MMO's so quickly.
What are they looking for to keep them playing for longer than 2-3 months?

According to the people on this site, OP's poll with lets say 350 people (50 atm) is not enough to see how many people use Xfire right?
They'd be right. 350 reponses wouldn't be enough.
Those people are wrong btw …
I see a lot of people saying "I haven't seen any bots". Understandably, that may lead you to underestimate the problem. This video shows just how bad it can get:
Remember, each of those bots is keeping a real player from joining.

You cannot use XFire to predict actual population numbers or to compare populations between games but anyone denying their statistical relevance in showing the population trend for a single game is, quite frankly, a f…
The whole "character progression vs fun" dichotomy is ridiculous. It's simply an implicit criticism of character progression. How about:
Why do players want to compete against other players, instead of having fun?
Why do players want to lear…

Perhaps I should have said "group up or give up on meaningful progression".
Once the leveling stops, acquiring better gear is the only means of meaningful progression in almost any MMO. I recognized the logic in …
Engineer. Such a weird, fun class especially if you go 2H melee. A better name would be TechnoWarrior.
Started on Normal which was too easy. Veteran is a big jump in challenge. If you're the type to be reading htis board I'd recommend Veteran or El…
