Me? oh, hewl no... I did for a bit 2 chars to 70 and bored enough to stab out my own eyes... Sold my account for 1.5k lol

Anyone know much about crafting in TR?? Is it going to suck like most mmorpg's... I'd love to compare it to old school SWG... Very dynamic and seperates devoted crafters from just crafters... Best of the best so to speak.

Point and Click had it's day and time... It was in 1997 and went by the name of Ultima Online.. sorry you missed the boat.... no pun intended.

I am just joshing you really, but I dont play Voyage century but felt compelled to post anyways.

Darn and to think - I voted Jar Jar!

Leave it up to a forum to follow SOE business model and do exactly against what the poll result would show... Fark the players....






I kid. I kid....

Screw balance, I'd settle for a few measly fixes for some of the rogue bugs, preaze.

Getting a crit off an opener while stealthed, and not being able to use any specials because the mob hits you, and you lose the specials when you get knocked out of stealth is really irritating.

SOE is where Bad MMO's go to die....It's like an Elephant Grave Yard!

 

They will take any terd game and add it to their crap "Library" to sell their worthless Station Pass.

 

I would pay 40 Bucks a month for WoW, Or LOTRO , or Hell even DDO & get more of my moneys worth on any of those individual games than I would from SOE entire Library for $9.99 a month!

Can you name an MMO that SoE has cancelled?

EQ still going
EQ2 still going
MXO still going
SWG still going
PS still going

Milking failing games is not the same as a successful game.  EQ is mostly comprised of old timers not willing to leave.  Most MMOs have those.  EQ2 is a modest offering with some decent content but hardly a breakthrough success.
The rest are disasters waiting to die.  SOE will milk them for every cent they can get.  Business-wise, makes sense if you can't seem to put a title together that appeals to a broad audience. 
The DC comics game will also be a bust.  Why?  because SOE can NOT make games that appeal to broad markets.  They have a mnetallity of "hate the player" in all shapes and forms.  They started this in EQ and have continued it until now.  Yes, they get people who do community stuff that seem to really care about the game and players but they are peons.  The execs and Smed run the show and they are morons.  As long as they are in charge, no SOE game will ever be more than a modest hit.  No breath-out games, nothing to succeed on the level of WoW or some of the games coming out soon-ish.

SOE has little to no creativity on their teams anymore... It's one failure after the other... Poor decision makers in the top office and witlessly following bad decisions.

Last week people were spamming these forums asking old vets to return, Now look at SOE forums. a bunch of old vets have taken it apon themselves again to start posting crap all over the place.

Where ever you look there are posts about "Why is this in the game" , "why did they change that" , "we want a rollback" etc ...

Please if you decide to come back to the game use the search function before you post, 120% of the topics you make have been discussed to the point of exhaustion already and it is really annoying to see all the flaming and spamming all over the place.

1. They will never rollback to pre cu, so stop asking them, it ain't gonna happen, you just gonna get banned from the forums, and in reality they should just delete your account from soe, delete your toons and your houses, whipe you out from the game altogether !!!!

2. Try and figure things out for yourself before you post, alot of vets are posting every little thing they notice, and what makes it worse is that they do not make use of the new itmes / UI before they post, if they did they would see that it is actually really nice the way it is and that there are advantages for all the disadvantages.

You cannot play the new game expecting it to be the way it was, you will never enjoy it if you come back with those expectations or intentions.

The game as it is right now is fun, complex and very different to old swg, if you don't like it then leave, don't make everyone elses gaming experience a nightmare because you can't handle it.

This is a very common problem with old vets, so please, i ask again, stop posting and asking old vets return, chances are they won't like the new game anyway. We have plenty new faces in the game and we don't need these kiddies spamming the forums and chat channels with their negativity.

Still unsure how people rave about LOTRO having state of the arts graphics... hehe I mean, I have the game and I would never make that claim... Armor never matches, textures even with everything max'd still looks worse than GW's textures and enviroments for that matter.

It is simple : You cheat = You get banned.

"in rv, 6 out of 70 get permabanned, not all the exploiters, simply because the others were nicer people to get along with"

I doubt this, but even if it we're true its not like you could stop them, i mean it is they're game >.>

"if tell someone they'll be spared from the rack if they repent, then rack them anyway, that's not very nice, is it?"

If you we're in the GM's position ( or whoever banned you ) would you say "Confess so we can ban you!"? Its not nice, but they are payed to ban exploiters one way or another.

"and what lessons will the repentant learn?"

To not exploit in future MMORPG's they play, or atleast that they'll have a better chance by not confessing.
Its like hacking, would you tell a GM your hacking if he says "FESS UP!" , If he indeed knew you were hacking you'd have been banned on the spot.

"this is like the bloody inquisition"

This is nothing like the inquisition.

Is it just me or are more people posting their negative topics about darkfall lately? I mean seriously if we wanted your opinions we would ask for them, not like we ever would.

One thing that bothers me for sure about LOTRO is the lack of attention that was put into the PvM system... As a max'd out monster you get about 5 useable skills, have fewer Health,  less damage, and worse buffs than any of the player classes.... This means that to take down say a champion - you need about 4 -5 player monsters minimum.... That's a little much, not to mention burglars are going to eat monster face off while traveling anywhere.... Balance in the game is off tilt for monster play because they always want the monsters to only win with numbers.... Small scale fights happen, if you play a monster in them  - you are throwing yourself onto a sword.....

All of this was brougth up in beta and never addressed.... It's just sad that  I think monster play is going to be popular anyways and they still arent going to put any effert into it.

Fanboi i dont even play Ultima Online, not since they queer'd it up with Trammel... lol

Nice job zooming and then posting an ultra awful quality UO pic tho... Really.... Anyways, its gonna be subjective and a blind fanboi isn't going to change his mind.

But if you can look around the problems, what you'll find is a game that is completely unrivaled in terms of depth and choice.

Not even!  That may have been the case years ago, but not anymore, you are diluding yourself by continuing to tell yourself such things. UO is now quite shallow in comparison to other MMOGs, from combat and crafting to skills and even diet:

Ultima Online Skill List

Roma Victor Skill Tree

Ultima Online is a good study in MMOGs, it has been morphed from the side-project, labor of love, of a small group of caring, experienced, intelligent developers at Origin, Inc. that exploded into a great success, only to be ignorantly taken over and wrecked piece by piece by the Electronic Arts corporation that owned it; in favor of seeking the short-term profits of the standard perceived teen computer gaming market, with unremarkable gaming designs catered to the lowest common denominator.

Basically Ultima Online was converted from an outstanding multiplayer game design that kept players competing and interested in playing often, even with very little developer content, into merely a vehicle for EA to sell some extra boxes every year.

 

And that's the main point, a graphics update will change very little, when it's the gameplay and design that are paramount; the years of foolish develpment and design cannot be so easily patched up as updating the graphics, but at least it is a step in the right direction.

Simple for me... No Interiors, no play.

This is one game that SOE couldn't screw up more than sigil already have.
