Originally posted by Volkon Eh... no you didn't. I tend to work hard to set my character at the top of my game, gearing as best I could. From about level 27 to 52 I played like that, averaged around a 80% crit chance (I sat at 100% a good deal of…

Originally posted by nariusseldon Originally posted by waffleyone They want to "play a game" with the same level of engagement as watching television. Because the goal is to reach this broad audience, many games are developed with that difficulty …

I don't think "Do difficult tasks exist in gaming?" is a question that needs exploration. Some of the most difficult tasks in gaming exist today. A more relevant question is "Are gamers feeling challenged" and the answer to that is a resounding "So…

Originally posted by iixviiiix Endgame's fun and challenge are just a lie to keep people stop compare when they max level you can't have fun when you get to endgame. Game only fun before endgame , it's when you swim through game content. -snip…

The 'overhead' thing is a giant tangent, and I'd like to put it to rest here: MMO subscription fees are partially about overhead but mostly about recouping production costs in the first place. Second, Non-Massive online games have a tiny fraction of…

I tried this game out and it was interesting, although it ran like garbage on my machine. Has anybody here played both Planet Explorers and Starforge? I'm really curious how they compare, as they are a very similar genre of game.

tl;dr: Dark Souls type difficulty doesn't really translate to MMOs, lets hope more single player games do it. There are a few elements of dark souls that came together beautifully and made it work: There was crushing initial difficulty and lone…

For those who are late to the party: This is not even close to the start of JA's threats of lawsuits. They began when information from his personal blog was compiled and posted on the Wurm forums. Fearing for his credibility, he edited his blog and…

This whole fiasco is pretty funny, I played a bit of a role in it, although it wasn't going to take long before somebody/something made their official forums declare martial law. I saw the game, was fairly interested, but held out giving them my mon…

People getting all bent out of shape about it seems pretty goofy to me. Some of it I think has to do with the image of the creepy guy in his forties pretending to be a young woman, though I don't think thats entirely relevant. I think I know what th…

This actually goes for everybody integrating gaming or any pasttime with a relationship. There needs to be a balance, and that comes down to respectful honest conversation. Each person's needs and wants are weighed, and you figure out what to do, …

I'm a little interestedd and will bite because it looks like it may be sandboxy from the patch notes, however... Can we get some description somewhere? Goals? Existing/Planned features? The screenshots are nice and all but there's not quite enough…

Wurm sounds like a great fit for you. Free players have access to most of the game these days, but skill levels are limited. it's a subscribe-but-not-purchase model, so if you decide you want to jump in it's only about $13 (10 Euros) for 2 months, n…

I think that the attitude that MMORPGs are out of ways to innovate and that its just a matter of tweaking things to get them just right is the death of that kind of MMORPG. TESO for example is designed with that in mind, and it will follow in the fo…

There has been more than enough bashing regarding purchasing assets - theres a trade off: Much less cost, loses some of the uniqueness. As for the scam accusations: They're unfounded. Yes, the team is relatively inexperienced, and JA was dishonest …

Other than ShortyBible this all got out of hand. Interesting how JA's response to criticism and technical discussion is "That guy looks like a little kid banging on the keyboard and screaming" and his response to clear evidence of his lying is "You…
