• • Wow = most difficult MMORPG ever - gear wise.

    Everquest was only "harder" to get gear in, because of the artificial bottlenecks and time sinks put into the game.  There was nothing skill based that prevented most people from getting most items.

     

    Just because Nagafen only spawned every several days didn't mean it was skill based challenge to kill him.  There was just a limited resource that people could get.  Once the artificial time barriers (spawn timers) were removed everyone and their grandmother had epic quest weapons. 

     

    People need to stop confusing time sinks as difficulty.  What the original poster is saying about how arena pvp weapons is true.  It will be earned through player skill compared against other players skill as far as I can tell.  I don't agree with all of his points and I'm sure Blizzard will find a way to tone it down in some fashion so it doesn't turn into yet another high warlord grind.  Still it is more challenging than most things in MMOs.

    I would say that bottlenecking was more so in PoP, that expansion really weeded out the high end guilds from every other guild. Getting 72 ppl to act as one was not a easy task. TRC was not easy and did take skill from the whole raid with all that tank mezing going on with the mobs that could not be mezed by a chanter. All it took was one person messin up that could start a chain reaction of one mob getting free... and once that happens its pertty much over with. Nor was Xeg..even Ralloz could one shot your tank.

    ya i just hope they dont pull a soe and start banning ppl like mad.  they can take a hit in numbers but one day when their numbers start dropping and the game dies they might wish they had treated the paying customers a little better. not that im not saying their doing a bad job now all the stuff i have bought from blizzard has been well made and i have had no reason to bash them, but now that their a bigger company they might start acting like it then we'll end up with another EA

    
     

    I'm just concerned that a lot of the LOL moments that we have all had on the forums and in game are gone..... Really I could see this happen if my guys linked to porn or said somthing racist...but one called a guy a Fing Idiot and bypassed the profanity filter so he could read it and the other basically did a Rickroll...now they can't play the game for two weeks.  I'm sorry that's harsh. that is SOE harsh.

    
     

    So if some one knowly breaks a rule... you would rather him get away with it?

     

    Whether we like it or not the Forums and game are link with the same set of rules. What applies in game also applies to the forums.

• • EverQuest II: Races of EQII: The Good

  • Why do you want SOE to fail so badly.... why would you want the ppl who DO enjoy it to be on the same boat you are on.

    Leave them alone....

    They are happy with the game; just because you hate it doesnt mean everyone else SHOULD too. You make it sound like its your money they are using to pay their subs.

    So you rather see SOE the company go under and  have a few hundred thousand players lose a game THEY love and enjoying just because YOU have a beef with SoE... Dude grow up and stop being so selfish. Those ppl are happy and having fun...but thats not good enough for you. You rather see them just as mad and hateful as you. 

     

    Lame dude...lame.

  • Lol i remember me and my friend would take turns camping Jboots back in 99. I think it took us about 18 hours of non-stop campping to get 6 pairs for the group. I know of other ppl who campped for days and never got them.

    Anyone doubted this? Wow is at it's all time high right now, the time when the content is the most while the graphics is still ok.

    If it is the best content or not can off course always be discussed but most wow players really had to buy this box.

    The question is more if they can do this again in 2 years, or if they plan to release their new MMO then instead?

    If they wan'tto do it again, they will have to totalt revamp the engine (6 1/2 year i a long time for a computer game). Off course they do have the money for it. On the other hand, it is very possible that Wow2 is the game in making, Blizz always liked doing sequels.

     

    
     

    Listen I ve played AOCxxxx graphics and Warhammer clunk. Both had ... graphics. But graphics in videogames are NOT still pictures. They have to be animated, alive, controlled, fluid, non stuttering, artistic.

    Everyone sees the difference when playing WotLK. That world is alive. The breath of characters show little white circles, birds in the sky, rabbits on the grass,...

    Every inch in Northrend shows you are playing in a living world. Why revamp an engine if that engine is simply better than what we had to endure these last months?

    Seen the graphics on KOTOR already? Why do you think they use these same kind of graphics in MMO's?

    Pixels don't make a good videogame. Ever counted the pixels in the Pokemon games ? 50 million copies sold. Meaning: graphics don't sell subscriptions or games. Gameplay does.

     

    
     

    I do agree some times its the little things that bring the whole picture together. Also the new shadows are great... much better then the black circle. One thing i was kinda hoping for was a little more interaction for NPC.... like in RoK of EQ2.

    if you run at the birds on the ground they will fly away if you get to close. I thought its was a nice little touch.
