I am a Swedish RPG fan who sometime make pen and paper stuff for roleplaying conventions. I love RPGs, MMOs and turned based strategy games, listens to metal and work as a CNC coder/industrial worker.
I currently live in Malmö (next to Coopenhagen) but will be moving to Öland soon. And for the moment I work weekends so I have plenty of spare time on weekdays but will be unavaliable saturdays and sundays.
And I know stuff about history that makes people stare very strangely at me, just love to read about the past without any specific favorite period.
I can use a sword, have a good one as well (hand made copy with the original from about year 1000) as a chainmail and helmet but I wouldn't call myself good with it.
My favorite beverage is Guiness.
I feel that GW2s greatest weakness is the dungeon group dynamics, that really should be improved. The 5 players skills don't work as well together as they should.
I suggest you try thief as your second character, it is a totally different exper…

I get what you're saying about the other things but raising the difficulty would mean the game becomes balanced around multiboxing and that's not a direction I'd personally like to see games go in. It makes things harder for pe…

Of course the companies have no issue with this, especially the P2Ps where they are making good bank off the multis. If they only allowed one account per IP address they'd be hurting their own business.
Yeah, and yjere …
I don't think it ruins anything more the the heacy solofocus does.
But we certainly see more people boxing the easier the games have become and that is hardly a coincident. I don't think we should ban it but we should make things harder for the peo…

If the PvP does not affect the PvE and vice versa, it is just not a part of the game. You have a game, and a PvP instance. Mobas and battle royale games integrate both in smaller and shorter scale. In LoL you have PvE, which is impor…
The really annoying MMO griefing I seen is when a couple of high levels follow some noob and spawn camp him for hours, I don't think it can get that bad in games like Ark, That was in older MMOs though and there you lost XP as well when you died so …

Was it not the original GW that let you jump into PvP instead of going up the levels, not sure how balanced that was? As a regional faction pvp fan I see nothing wrong with having a top level guy who does your PvP but is held back for sa…
The Dirge in EQ2 had a little of the same idea but it certainly didn't get far enough. It is not a bad idea to add a class really building on this but since most MMOs basically are sologames today I fear it is too late.

I agree with most people in the thread: guild politics, territory conquering etc sounds fun on paper, that doesn't mean it would be fun also on your screen.
Gw2 has a good balance, quick PvP arena (with no level of gears, tha…

If Anthem is an unexpectedly great game, Bioware will live on, or at least receive a stay of execution.
If Anthem is not a good game and does not succeed, then Bioware's recent history of mediocrity will end on a whimper and not…
I don't think how you get a good game funded actually matters, the problem with crowdfunding is that some people miss that it is a kind of investment and you shouldn't just throw your money on anyone that ask for it.
Do some research and only fund …

Perhaps people just outgrew the notion of attacking static mods and the novelty affect is gone.
Grouping all but disappeared, grinding static mobs became boring after that.
True, doing a hard st…

I am not a huge fan of rep grinding, either. I would likely do it in a game like Tabula Rasa, where it could be done by defending or taking bases from the faction's enemies, though.
In short, if I'm going to grind these days, …
Scot said:
Grinding is always an issue but I thought factions were removed from more modern MMOs for a different reason. Designers decided that nobody must feel they have made a mistake, not with their class, their choice of powers, their faction..…

If someone doesn't stop them they are going to be way too big as an monopoly, with hands in everything. This should worry everyone.
That happened years ago.

I'm using chrome, and don't get popups anywhere else. Here it seems to be only that particular ad. Regardless, you shouldn't have to block them.
Popups? They are terrible annoying and should always be blocked in my opinio…
It is not like the MMO animals acts like real animals anyways.Few animals actually attack a grown healthy human IRL and the white ones always attack instead of trying to run away (assuming they survive the first hit), while some animals might do th…

As soon as they make Lawnmowers that have IP addresses and a login screen, this site will call them MMOs.
Sadly, those already exist (even more sadly are those robot lawnmovers too pricey for my taste so I have to use t…
