  • I'm sorry, but no. What was done in regards to BDO was not a well executed plan, it's idiocy. Firstly, making a polished MMO with high end graphics, and feature loaded is literally the exact opposite of what you want to do if your plan is to create …
  • Honest it's less about lvls in this game, and more about set bonus / mundus stone / skill points. That said I looked up the quest the OP was talking about, and unless something drastically changed about that quest; it looked like he was just trying …
  • The genre does better when there are options. Some people love fluid classes, others prefer a game with more strict direction & get lost when there is too much flexibility. Also not every dev can balance a game w/ fluid classes and make the opti…
  • What I can say is, if you're looking for a fairly vanilla dungeon-centric MMO, FFXIV fits that bill. Both games have their flaws, but FFXIV is basically your standard WoW-esque MMO w/ a final fantasy skin. (not meant as a slight, just stating how it…
  • Sovrath said: JDis25 said: My main problem with BDO is how long it takes to progress if you don't want to follow the footsteps of each and every other person. Just playing the game isn't rewarding enough, you have to complete a checkli…

  • Realizer said:   So back and forth about fun now, and so on. The thing is GW2 progression is, I think by design, the same as the fun factor. In that to say it is what you make of it. The developers have said in interviews before, they enjoy the…
  • That whole line of reasoning is based purely on fear mongering started by Tipper Gore & later Barbara Bush. There has been zero evidence (and yes there have been numerous studies on this topic) to suggest that there is an actual correlation betw…

  • Good thought, unfortunately it won't work. 1) Blizzard has too many fanboys. There are still a LOT of people who basically think 'Blizzard does no wrong, if it has the blizzard name ima buy it!". The company is one of the best at marketting, and it…
  • FFXIV is literally WoW-lite with a FF skin. It is fun, it does lack depth; if you were expecting anything more it's not going to change. Especially not it's core design / mechanics. It will still be based around a GS treadmill going forward, and th…
  • Originally posted by turinmacleod Good lord, the ignorance perpetuated in this thread is staggering. To begin, SMITE is not going anywhere but UP. The player base grows  quarter to quarter, Hi Rez is investing heavily in developing the Asian regio…

  • The problem is w/ Blizzard/Activision's approach to their latest games. They take the top game(s) from other popular genres, and then dumb them down / simplify them to be as accessible as possible. It's a model that works if you want something to be…
  • It's absolutely possible, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Many of the older games are still around in one fashion or another, but comparatively few people actually play them still. The one exception being Lineage, which has an insanely …
  • Originally posted by Grrar87 Ok is it just me or does this game feel like it's not a full finished game? Granted I am new but here are things I noticed as a new player that has me wonder why an expansion is coming out when the game out now doesn't f…
  • Originally posted by FuryV Hey Ikeda. To be honest the same will probably happen with me but I just figured I'd give 'em a shot as I've got nothing else worth playing at the moment. On that note, are there any MOBAs out there where I can pick a …
  • I'm not going to say people don't do this (i've definitely caught a few on this site in the past). However, be careful of assumptions; especially when based on perceptions. I used to work with a guy (who may actually be some sort of vampire, hard t…
  • Must be a slow day for MMorpg.com staff. Maybe they should start covering other things.
  • Simple answer is "No". Lvl grinding is a flawed design mechanic. One that some of us (and it sounds like you the OP) have grown accustomed to. The reason so many games have expedited the lvling process is because it's a system w/ diminishing return…
