  • #3 could use some clarification as well. You definitely want to use the general 'white' souls you find as loot, but you should never 'use' souls gained from bosses, instead visit the npc's in Firelink Shrine (once you've beaten all the bosses in the…
  • I agree with Baccus, the de-leveling system opens the game up to allow people of any lvl to participate in content, without having the top lvl chars screwing over the low lvlers. The 'champion train' issue aside. I think one of the biggest reason s…
  • I'm not 100% convinced loot 2.0 will fix the problem. While it certainly makes loot more intesting and gives more variety on statistics, it's still too closely tied to a single classes 'primary stat'. Meaning a high Strength item is useless to anyon…
  • Meh quests are so 2005. It's time to move on to more immersive, interactive style of content. The whole 'instead of collect x ears, fill a bar' is taken strait from Guild Wars 2 and it does help in making the content feel less grindy (though GW2 goe…
  • I just don't see myself paying to play an MMOG, no matter how good it may be, that comes with speratic content updates that are overshadowed by yearly expansions when I get expansion-quality content every two weeks in GW2 for.. free. Maybe F2P isn't…
  • A monthly fee and microtransations on a game that isn't an MMOG? No thankyou. For those that don't know this game isn't an MMOG. It's more like Guild Wars 1, hub areas were players can gather to craft, join PvP or socialize were the content is inst…

  • Yea with Culling gone I realize just how many people play this game. I thought WoW would get crowded in the main cities. I was in LA last night around 8pm and my god, it was shoulder to shoulder. Just between the Trading Post and the Bank there were…
  • I personally think their telegraph system is entirely the wrong way to go about things. Why does every single attack have one? Why do monsters display a big red square or circle when they hit you in melee? It's both immersion breaking and pointless.…
  • A year ago I would have said 'non P2P games suck. They don't have as much content and nickle and dime you to death.' Today however, after the success of Guild Wars 2, which has just as much content as any other MMOG and releases new content faster t…
  • Yea I like the ability to 'do something' when your CCd, nothing pisses me off more is stun-chaining and such in other MMOGs and diminishing returns isn't a great solution IMHO. So it looks pretty sweet. GW2 did something like this in Beta. You could…
  • TESO does have a cash shop.  Proof http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/08/22/gamescom-2013-the-elder-scrolls-online-subscription-ensures-pla Cash Shop looks like it will contain content as well, even if only hinted at by this statement. I see this …
  • To be frank, Guild Wars 2 is so good as a B2P game that any future MMOG will have to be absolute Dynamite  for me to even consider paying to play it. I spent years in WoW paying a sub to sit around in  cities waiting on a queue. I'll never do anythi…
  • First MMOG - EQ1 (Didn't really like it) Favorite MMOG - Anarchy Online Current MMOG - Guild Wars 2 Will I leave it for EQ:N? No, most certainly not. That said I chose the 'will play EQ:N option because I'll certainly give it a shot but frankly n…
  • Not yet. I didn't like EQ1 or EQ2, despite the fact that EQ1 was my first MMOG, I enjoyed Anarchy Online a whole lot more. So far I'm liking where they are going with it, they clearly are borrowing heavily from GW2, which is probably a good idea sin…
  • My hype goes down 3 pegs every time a new MMOG is announced I see 'Quest based'. Maybe I'm spoiled by GW2, but questing is so 2004. 
  • FYI the 3 million sold number is from January. It's now nearing the first anniversary. The number sold is likely considerably higher as GW2 has remained on many top 10/20 sold lists since release. Amazon.com, Greenmangaming, UK weekly sales, etc. If…
  • Interesting idea but the way they showed it makes me think the combat will be super slow as you take a full second just to line up every single attack. And what about times when your camera is in an odd position, blocked by mobs, you're gonna have t…
  • As other's have mentioned, it's funny how people complain about the dungeon being temporary after they've long complained that they get sick of the same content for months on end from previous MMOGs. The real reason these are temporary is because t…
  • Yes AO 'invented' dynamic spawning and events that would happen based upon player activities, it's just one of dozens of innovations to the genre AO made. Rift may have had a hand, but their idea of dynamic event is 'run x event every x minutes'. T…
