  • Apples and oranges. A game can be quest-driven and still reward grouping over soloing A game can be combat-"driven" and still be mainly a solo game.  
  • Are you sure you are not going to be seen as subversive, or even blasphemous? The Senate was a Roman cultural institution with some rather strict prerequisites for membership. Families with Senatorial rank tended to guard the privilege and the pow…
  • Originally posted by Lowdos   Originally posted by wumptrooper Roma Victor (UK)   I'll take it upon myself to apologize for our (once-proud) nation releasing such utter MMO drivel, and expecting people to pay for it, too.   Why? …
  • "Persistent world" does not mean that "everybody interacts with each other most of the time." It simply means that the world has a state independent of any single character, in other words, exactly what the OP's quoted definition said. In a context …
  • Just start killing things in the general vicinities mentioned, and don't worry about it. You will probably learn the ability without being particularly aware of having done so. I suspect there are other places to learn the ability. The two mention…
  • If you have been traveling around a lot, or doing certain specific things that are memory-intensive, you may just be triggering one of the known CTD causes. Crossing chunk lines, using the riftway and teleporters, and accessing the broker a lot have…
  • This is a stupidly-worded poll, in my opinion. There is no choice for my opinion, which is to keep the game at the current level of support until a reasonable period after U2, then consider what to do. Also, I don't like how "termination" is being d…
  • Originally posted by Hexxeity Feat tree changes:  So basically, they've turned their interesting and highly customizable character system into a carbon copy of WoW. Way to innovate, guys! It seems to me that they had good reasons for it. It sou…
  • Originally posted by daylight01 Originally posted by Airspell Originally posted by zethcarn I'll be playing at launch and I'll be fine if it only gets like 500k subs.  I could care less what happens with WoW because IMO WoW is very mediorce a…
  • If it doesn't happen by the end of August, it will be behind schedule.
  • Originally posted by The-Raven IMHO twitch combat is the only way to go with PvP or PvE. It would make the games more realistic. It stops unattended combat macorers in PvE games. It gives lower level characters a little bit more of a…
  • Ship combat in this era was indeed painfully slow, and close combat with the personal weapons of the day does require total concentration.  I would say the OP's comments show that the designers have accurately represented their subject matter.  
  • Does anyone else get the sense that the Funcom statement that the OP quoted contains absolutely zero information over and above what has already been known for some time?  
  • I truly hope that this will be a good game. Even if I don't like it after I actually play it, I wish the developers all the best. Despite that, I try to have no expectations, because I've been disappointed too many times.  
  • Originally posted by Darth_Pete Astropuyo has good point there and you also are refferring to real world and lets say 1vs1 fight.. whos going to win the guy with a machine gun or the guy with a knife.. gear means something in real world too. I pe…
  • I generally burn that bridge when I come to it, and not before. 
  • As I recall, Blizzard is owned by Vivendi, which is an entertainment megacorporation based in France. There might be some wrinkle to that ownership that I don't know about, and the situation may have changed in the lass couple of months since I last…
  • Wait for a while after server merge to jump in. The populations post-merge will probably not drop much from the combined totals now, because most anyone left is probably committed (pun possibility noted) and will not be put off by anything short of …
    in Not Sure... Comment by Poldano July 2007
  • I suggest you set your sights slightly lower. Preferably to where there's enough oxygen to keep your brain alive. 
  • I think the equipment expertise got dumped not only because it's too hard for some people to figure out, but because it resulted in some undesirable and hard-to-balance situations. For example, with EE, it was often difficult to equip a chest piece …
