Idle speculation is troll fuel.
I commend Tim for staying out of the weeds here (mostly), I know how much he always enjoyed riling the trolls up on the site, they were always his unwitting henchmen in pushing posts and news up to the top. I'm sure…

That does sound pretty good but the problem i have is that they have no concrete game mechanics explained that would make such an experience possible.
All i saw in his description wa…

I lol'd at this on the Learn More Page "Don't miss out on being part of this next generation game. This is the place to be, the best hangout since the dawn of MMORPGs"
Honestly though I'll check it out, I don't know why we haven't seen more gam…
I completely agree. I occasionally get sucked back into 5+ year old topics, but more recently realizing how the same discussions happen to resurface almost on a weekly basis in a new thread. There is some value here (different views are highlighted …
I won't say I WANT Trinity, but I don't mind it. Trinity sprung from Dungeons and Dragons emergent gameplay due to players optimizing their party makeup for combat and adventuring. You could have a party of 6 rangers in D&D, but unless you have …
Seriously great article, all the praise here is well deserved. I agree with everything you said. I believe though, there is a group of players who seek out the punishment form of social hooks as experienced within the two MMOs you mentioned (FFXI an…
It would seem silly for anyone here to recommend playing MMOs, but I will put some light towards something you may not have thought about. Having nothing in common with your co-workers has to do a lot with having a non-technical position (no offense…
A handful of good points here. One of the interesting things is that Role Playing has always been optional in an RPG. Hence why so many people would say the same game is / is not an RPG. Even in DnD, there was always that guy you invited who didn't …
My guess is this is going to try and accomplish what Cube World has been sitting on for a while here. While I agree this seems to be chasing after Cube World (i wouldn't bother comparing it to minecraft at all...), Wollay has made it clear that the …
FFXIV does push the genre more in that direction with its inability to sit in queues (the lobby) while doing much else. It is a shame that large parts of the game are inaccessible while waiting for the duty finder. Not to say there is NOTHING you ca…
I understand specialization, but there is some unknowns. Like in free stance your chocobo can use any skills. So if you take both the Attacker and Defender dmg abilities he gets both. But there's no CD mentioned and I assume that having 2 abilities …

I went healer... wasnt tanking very well at all, couldnt hold aggro over me for long. Besides, fighting a tough mob with your chocobo tanking will probably just get it killed since you ca…
FATEs don't need a group, they are open. So yes your chocobo can tank a FATE boss, but why would you want to? Any real DPS around would pull aggro off your chocobo pretty easily.
I have heard the healing on the chocobo as very minimal and not wo…
Sorry I can't answer much for you. But I see nothing wrong with your post, I think @fans then a challenge immediately assumes you are trying to prove some point.
I am 50 but I have not done much beyond a handful of HM Ifrits. I can tell you it's…
List it as a pro or a con, but dungeons are a part of the main story line, and yes that means "forced grouping". Something that while reading these boards you might think everyone wants, but in practice is not nearly as enjoyable.
