You actually think EQ breaks even or makes a profit ? News flash it doesn't in fact EQ and EQ2 haven't made a profit in years that f2p game free realms is what keeps eq alive.
Also if you read leaked stuff from years ago EQ next was gonna be EQ…
GW2 was a breath of fresh air at first. In the first weeks I enjoyed it more than any MMO since DAOC. Eventually though, I realized that (IMO) doing away with the healers/tanks/DPS mix of class roles was also doing away with the tactics that make an…
Ooops..
Was just considering resubbing to see how hings have developed and then I read about restrictions on subscribed accounts. There goes THAT idea!
The "suits holding the leash" comment is spot on. Obssession with bottom lines is the mortal enemy of creativeness. The Western World has long since passed a pivitol point at which we stifle innovation and invention by insisting that nothing matters…
60 bucks.
That's 4 months of sub in ohter mmo's, most of which are dramatically less desirable to play than gw2 imo.
Expanded bank, bag slot then exchanged left overs for gold (what a rip off tbh!) and bought bags. it was worth it all in all to ha…
I am torn on the issue. To an extent I think they should have made some sort of spec tree or something to allow players to focus on specialties but at the same time I like the option to be self relient.
Tough call imo.
I was never a big WoW player. I have a single 80 that I spent 3 months on and then left. didn't play cata at all.
I got MoP. I tried MoP (a bit as a new panda, not end game). WoW definately has it's strengths. The sheer amount of content is stagger…
WvW is pretty sweet. There are queues and they can be long. I think the limit is 500 in WvW zone at the moment. I know they plan to expand it over time and there are overflow state servers as well, so sometimes the queue is reasonable and sometimes …
oh man, sandbox is so good.
battles over territory and resources, gathering, player housing and cities outside of a specific zone, crafting.. it all could thrive so well. SWG was an excellent adventure into that territory. It may have been broken b…
Yeah, WvW and/or Tournament PvP are the true end game. If you played WvW for an hour and are bored you might as well stop now.
Anyone who played DAOC will know what awaits us in the future.
WvW will be epic but the player base needs some time to …
There is no way to catch everything prior to release.
The game is stable and runs well. I have seen exactly one bugged event/quest, not bad.
Most of the issues have been from the surge of players and I feel that Anet has handled those issues as gr…
I'm not seeing a lot of "bugs" that affect game play tbh. The guild system is an issue but that's about it so far.
I am impressed at the commitment to maintaining a smooth experience here. This isn't fixing a broken game.. this is protecting the ga…
simply not the case. The engine is excellent. The game was playable on my laptop before they optimized and unbound the gpu. At start of early access I was playing a smooth yet detailed game and my laptop is good, but certainly not great. My gpu is r…
My laptop (i5 @2.9ghz, 8 gigs ram, nvidia gf555M) runs at 35-70 depending on action and such. Medium settings. The game still looks good. I do expect to have some issues in high-medium to large battles in WvW, not gonna lie. All in all I am impresse…
So far GW2 is feeling awesome. Personally I would prefer that it NOT rival WoW in population size. There is enough going on in the game to keep things interesting for awhile, especially once WvW kicks off in ernest after a few weeks of leveling and …
no worthwhile healer spec in GW2. Everyone carries their own survival tools. You can probably get a setup that can heal and buff but it won't be a critical need in GW2 for groups. Still, it's in their for you to play if you want, to some extent.
GW2 is great.
I am jumping, flipping, bouncing, side stepping, evading, pulling, pushing, blasting and sliding all over the place.
Easily the most engaging and exciting combat in an mmo I have ever seen.
With all the options for weapons and…
I voted Ele. I hadn't yet tried an Ele and I found the variation of elements to be a nice mix. Having real range was nice as well. In WvW melee is a near death sentence in many situations. I got kills with my warrior but typically got destroyed quic…
Just in case it's true and anet is quietly watching popular forums, I'll add my view that this is not a step forward.
Whatever ease of use comes from such a change will be drastically outweighed by the reduction in character dynamics IMO.
It is on…
