One thing to not rule out is simple inexperience with the instance or battleground. It's not always someone's 500th run and it may take them time to learn the tactics involved.
That said - it might be nice if the games had some kind of practice o…

Regardless of its' Open Beta state, it's painfully obvious STO is an unfinished game that is also very badly designed. It will retail on Feb 2, and fail shortly thereafter. Why? Get an O…
This is probably the number 1 complaint I have about STO - lack of scale and basic understanding of celestial mechanics. Space lacks the correct sense of scale and feeling. I was actually stunned that you never truly enter a "system." Instead the…
Well, perhaps what we need is for developers to simply quit putting everything under the "quest" monicker and break it out into multiple catagories. Delivering a message from one npc to another standing 100 feet away really never feels much like a …

I can find myself a court and play one vs one if I want to. Same game, same rules, same scoring system, and I don't need anyone else on my team.
But I disagree that you can't make a game solo friendly and have satis…
Definately peaked my interest. One thing I have loathed about most gaming headsets is the low quality headphones. This and the Sennheiser PC350's show that at least someone understands there are audiophile gamers or at least those that can tell th…

Have to say I pretty much agree with the OP. I've played just about every MMO out there and the PvE is comparible. (and for the record, 4x70's in WoW, handful of 60+) Groundbreaking - no. But it's solid enough.
If you are bored in PvE, you are…
Thanks again for a great article Jon, I enjoyed the talking head perspective.
While I won't claim to be a "professional" gamer, I've been MMO'ing since MUDs and have to say that I'm quite happy with the amount of information coming out of Mythic.…
Well... after a review of most of the posts attached to this subject I'm amused that Mark's reasoning seems validated.
Enjoyed the interview Jon, looking forward to the continuation.
To the OP: Build it and I'll gladly play it. I'll also bring about 22 close friends who are also getting really tired of MMOG's. (Sorry, there's no RPG in most of these games anymore.)
But sadly MMO's aren't built for adventurers anymore. …
Unlike many other games where you don't get to do ANYTHING when the servers are down, at least you can still opt to play the single player game.
Just calm down, servers will be up when they are up - no need to get stressed, it's not like this is…

There are orks in Warhammer. 'Ere we goez!
As for Tabula Rasa, I found it enjoyable enough to warrant purchase. How long will I play? Who knows, but I'm sure I can get enough enjoyment out of the initial pu…

Turbine screwed the pooch by not making the Uruk-Hai or Olephant riding men of the south playable races.
The devs admit to purposely making the monsters in PvMP 2-3 times as bad as playe…

You got it, buddy. There will be no ganker/PK asshats or insane game destroying class balancing in this game. The only PvP is if you play a monster character (spider, etc.) in designated zones for PvM (Player vs. Monst…
