• • This is awesome! Take a look!

  • It's nice to see some players are getting creative and coming up with their own solutions. Of course it'd be nice if the devs addressed the situation but kudos to players with inititive.

    1. EA wasn't in the picture when Mythic Began work on WAR.

    2.  Games Workshop Picked / Offered Mythic the Fantasy branch after the previous company with the rights to make the MMO fell through. 

    3.  The company responsible for the Warhammer 40k PC games has the rights to the Warhammer 40k MMO so Mythic couldn't do the sci fi one even if they wanted.

    4.  Research before you bitch n moan...your getting your Warhammer 40k stop taking a crap pile on a game the rest of us are excited for.

    Wouldn't say he was bitching and moaning... even said he was looking forward to the game regardless. I too love Warhammer, lol and for that matter will love a Warhammer 40k mmo if it ever comes out. Think the OP was just expressing that while he may prefer 40k he's excited about both games.

    I loved this game... but yea they messed it up

    1) 40% complete at launch (only 10 levels, not enough armor, not enough classes for dnd like monk, no crafting.. anyway the list is long)

    2) no solo content at launch.  Grouping could be amazing but getting a good group was hard.  I guess if you had a few friends that just wanted to play together it was fine but hey why play DDO when neverwinter was so much better.

    3) Neverwinter was so much better... I love neverwinter.

     

    All in all it was a great game, I may go back one day if it doesn't go under.

     

    All of the above was true...

    At launch

    Now?  Not so true.... 16 levels (with expansions coming out this year to bring it to 20)...   Remembering that 20 is as high as you can go in D&D anyway so they will have the full level range available in the PnP game in the game.

    Solo content?  Loads of it now.  It's fully possible to solo the entire game, as almost any class.  Personally I find soloing boring and generally only solo as a way to kill time while finding a group.  But for those who love to solo.... this point has been adressed as well.

    Neverwinter?  I dissagree... The original Neverwinter was quite good but character development was lacking, AI was abyssmal and the game itself was kind of kludgy... and Neverwinter 2 was abyssmal in my opinion.  I never was able to get into it.

    Actually at release I hated DDO.... but now?  I came back about 3 months ago now... and haven't stopped playing since.  It is now what it should have been at release, imo.

    I currently play DDO and while I do like it, it has it's problems. I mean how are you going to make a game called Dungeons & Dragons and not have all the base races and classes? I mean not as if there's a ton of them or anything. Likewise if you're going to place it in the Eberron setting (which imho was their first mistake, if they would of put it in Forgotten Realms or dear god Dragonlance, the game would kill compitition) and not even have Eberron races and classes? I mean besides Warforged I believe Eberron has shifters, Changelings, and Kalashtar all as PC characters. Then of course class wise they forgot artificers (which they can't do really without crafting). That said you're right, they are most certainly making great strides in improving the game, monks are coming, soloing is much more viable, they're working on crafting, adding levels etc... I guess the real question though is weither or not it's too little too late?

• • LFG that allows you to use game money to pay for time

  • Well of course you have "games" and I use the world very loosley like second life and/or project entropia (now entropia universe) where not only can you use in-game money to buy time (which isn't exactly true since access to the games are free) but you can even cash out ingame money for real world money. Of the two entropia is more mmo like while second life is more of a metaverse. That said if you happen to have any artistic talent, good business sense, or just plain dumb luck, there are people who honestly make small careers out of playing them.

• • Easiest Game To Group In ?

  • CoX is amazing for grouping and is a good game, sadly I just cancelled my sub though. My problem with the game is while not necisarilly the fact that it has no equipment, it's sorta related to that. CoX has no alternate activities, I mean it has crafting at higher levels, but not the most elaborate system. I guess I have a touch of ADD and I find it hard to do the same thing for a long period of time. Lol which is one reason I love CoX cause I can just log on, do a mish, and logoff but I guess sometimes I wish there was more to the game then just getting a group and running mission after mission. Though in regards to the OP's question CoX is by far the most group friendly game I've ever played, and it's amazingly easy to get them too.
