Unfunny Poster posted:I honestly don't know how some of the people who organize the higher end stuff do things for so long. I helped run a new player alliance (guild) for like a year and got burnt out because it just stopped being fun. Same with the videos I used to do showing the map changes in the player controlled areas. EVE is certainly a game/hobby that takes a fair amount of dedication, and the people who love playing it genuinely do enjoy it and have fun despite some of the shittiness due to game code or mechanics you have to work around. It was best described to me as "the most complicated strategy game because its always against other humans and not the AI." Thankfully you can also play super casual if you want, which is what I do now for the most part, especially with the shift to making all trial accounts Free To Play accounts with slight restrictions on what they can fly and can do mechanically. Oddly enough I love all those games except EVE. Hahah. I enjoy my singleplayer experience. (Although, I think those games would be great multiplayer my schedule does not allow for such goon fun  )

What is odd for me this year is I usually have an "Xmas MMO". Nothing at all has grabbed me this year, so I'm really wondering if the MMO industry is on it's last legs, with people favouring "pick up and play" games like Overwatch.

I think if a visionary can come up with a fun theme, and a "fun" payscale or whatever, it won't be a problem. If every solution is "This is WoW V 2.1!", then it is hosed forever. They need to craft a new dynamic. That is very hard. Requires original thinking, the crobblers' worst suit. But it is not impossible. It would just require a *very* high level of competence. To be honest, I think DAOC 2.0 could get some (like 20%) of WoW based on where they are shooting. All these fucks complain about WoW....but, I played Wow. gently caress, maybe over 2k hours. I am *NOT* a hardcore gamer. My stay at home son brother is....Imagine the hours he has played. Deride their "poo poo" all you want, they know what the gently caress they are doing. They have the base. They have the money. They have the machine. Don't make a product that say they want to be the opposite of all successful games, or you may be *GASP* unsuccessful.

But FF14 is a pretty drat good MMO with excellent gameplay, eye candy cutscenes and update patchnotes that take an afternoon to read. I mean, try to imagine crobbler pulling off a piece of narrative like this (pretty old) cutscene, which features dialogue free storytelling, mocap done right, and a studio confident enough to admit they hosed up their first try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h542YbZuwkQ

I have not had a WoW sub in 3 years. I have had 4 months and the base game of FFXIV and enjoyed every minute of it. But, uh, I am pretty busy! That is kinda why I quit, give up, and dont pay. My bad, I guess.

But FF14 is a pretty drat good MMO with excellent gameplay, eye candy cutscenes and update patchnotes that take an afternoon to read. Yeah, that's very true. I'm not an anime person but I had some friends playing FF14 so I hopped on for the thirty free days or something? It was definitely an interesting take on the MMO formula but not for me. In my time, I've played WoW (for like two weeks), Champions Online, Neverwinter, TSW and TOR. I couldn't get in to WoW. Champions Online is neat but running on obvious life support at the moment and is lucky that nothing else matches it for character customization or superheroes in general. Neverwinter was a lot of fun but I just lost interest. TSW and TOR both felt like single-player RPGs that were shoehorned into MMOs. I liked TOR a lot but, man, the grind was ridiculous and the 'old history' Star Wars setting was kind of boring. Oh, and the DC one. But that one was really bad. I think I'll always just be more of a MU* person.

Here are some 3-frame gifs of all the waving teams before they get downsized again. 1. LA, with someone's mom on the left...  2. Wilmslow, with the usual parking lot routine...  3. Austin, with at least one office cleaner in the shot on the right, to inflate the numbers...  4. Frankfurt, with a very interesting kind of waving in the middle there...  5. And Turbulent at an unspecified location, summing up the stream lovely, and featuring people who came it just for this shot

intardnation posted:100% plan to do it. It just get frustrating that in a tutorial in vr and they push x key and it isnt bound under KB+M and your blind as gently caress and having to move my hands off the g13 to try and find it. Map your keys, ffs. A HOTAS won't cure your lazyness, you'll still need to map the controls. Also, playing ED with m+kb in VR is just fine, you seriously don't need a stick. It just slows things down (while giving you a placebo ”i'm in control” feeling).

There are level 75 cap Linkshells on the official server doing the same. Works nicely since you need to do the level cap quest to go above 75.

AP posted:GAME IS NOW TOTAL LOST A lot of the responses to this are people calling it an opinion. Not being able to login. The few who are getting that it's a bug, are saying that's what he should expect when trying to play 2.6 on the PTU, totally forgetting that they're on the loving bug report section, and completely missing that he's trying to play 2.5. lol if CIG not only makes 2.6 subscriber only over the holiday pause, but also breaks 2.5.

Or when someone goes watch star wars, they think of the fail videogame. Its something really cool and normal people do. I played an early access pre-alpha space game tonight/this morning. It's still early days but it's so much better than that one video game... Star citizen. Moon base is best base btw. Oh and sorry about doxxing you. I took some time to do that too.

Not a complete mystery. The subscriber 2.6 release was in panic mode. No one cared if it broke the 2.5 at that time. Tax (?)
