I would not join any guild that Demanded I use team speak or similar
Tbh, I'd never join a guild that doesn't require TS presence for its core activities. I recall how it used to be intimidating to be active in TS, when yo…

A good guild can definitely add something to the game, although I'm also fine playing by myself. Heck, I tend to have several unguilded characters on MMOs that allow for it to happen, just so I can be by myself at times,…

Join Grievance, problem solved. they are very nice people and they talk all the time (it's required to be on Team Speak when in game). Additionally they are a multi game guild and have forums so they c…
The angriest moment probably was when it suddenly became extremely difficult to follow to coordination of a very competitive GvG guild raid leader in fights, and I started to get strange disconnects and lags. I received a fair bit of qq from the lea…

As a moderately successful side hobby, I write; and there is something that often holds true: World-builders rarely create a good story, by which I mean an interesting plot, characters, arcs, dialogue, pacing etc. There are …

What does it even mean to finish a game that is not blatantly linear? Over the past ten or so years, in particular, I have watched these "achievement" catalogues emerge. Yet do they really coincide with how people freely experience accomplishment? -…
I answered that lore doesn't matter at all, but this is at least to some extent because I keep encountering lore than nurtures hard stereotypes, lazy stories, insensitive gender dichotomies, polarisation where applicable and lack of the out-of-the-b…
Really looking forward to the CSE Twitch (citystategames) stream and Q&A within a few hours, unless I'm mistaken. Perhaps some light on how the ability system has evolved?
These are long discussions and they have been around for decades, and longer. All the "scientific proof" always warrants a methodological check (the clinical and survey settings, etc.), and some transparency regarding the linguistic and sociocultura…
First couple of hours played as a spontaneous filler game. It's ok, when your mindset happens comply at the given moment. A very strong déjà vu tinge while playing, related to TERA, Neverwinter Online, ArcheAge - but that was to be expected. The ope…
Planetside 2 has been my trusty filler game for the past years, ever since it went open beta. Even though I've occasionally paid for the sub, I've never felt like the game was my dreams come true, and I consider myself more a MMORPG than a MMOFPS ty…

"what are your 3 favorite things of this game"
1) The feel of violent joy when your disciplined zerg-busting guild raid melts a far larger force, regardless of the rez mechanics and the AoE cap.
2) The adrenaline rush and shakes when you fight a go…

IMO deliberately using known names from shows, other games, mythology, bands, songs etc.... = weaksauce
Use your noodle - come up with original names instead!
To be honest, I think that Weaksauce would be a badass PvP n…
For me, the best aesthetic character creation thus far has been in the Elder Scrolls Online. Personally, I find it extremely important that developers show that they're acutely aware of the social and gendered power that comes with defining bodies -…
And if you didn't like Morrowind / Oblivion / Skyrim probably not. (Doesn't mean you will like it if you liked those games but if you didn't probably not for you).
I really don't get this reference. ESO is nothing like the single player fra…
