Vanguard looked pretty good at times too. Some of the location designs and dungeon atmosphere was some of the best I've ever seen. Each islands flavor was unique and very enjoyable to run around in. I forget the name of it, but the giant port city was amazing to look at from the top of the hill overlooking it. Then other times it looked like a lump of clay.

SimonChris posted:But that was the best part! You could go on bona fide archaeological expeditions in Vanguard, exploring massive unfinished dungeons. cities and areas, discovering clues to the epic storylines that they should have contained. To enter them, you would frequently have to seek out wise explorers, who could tell you how to die in juuust the right spot, so you could respawn on the other side of the wall or whatever. There was a dungeon on the kung fu island that fits this description perfectly. I don't know the name of it, but on the outside it just looks like a ruined temple. Pretty nondescript and to be honest you don't realize it's a dungeon until you're down underground fighting. You get inside and fight undead samurai and statues that look like Mogu from WoW. It was huge. I remember my static group fighting through this dungeon all day and it just kept going and going. Then, by some crazy chance we clicked on a statue and some hidden wall opened up which unlocked an even bigger dungeon below. We camped out inside the dungeon for the night and came back the next day. It took us another 5 hours or so to crawl through this second wing and I'm pretty sure we didn't even cover half of it. It was massive. We scooped up so much loot that we were having to pick and choose what to keep and what to destroy. The best part was, this particular dungeon was waaaaaay out of the way and nobody really went there, especially the deep parts. Everyone went to the Emperor's Tomb instead. We completely missed out on that dungeon. Vanguard was the greatest MMO commanded by the worst people and came out way before it's time. If Pantheons world can emulate the size and scale of Vanguards they may have a shot at holding a steady niche community together. It won't, but an old man can dream.

Warhammer Tier 1 PVP was the bees knees. Matches were so much fun when the tide of battle swung back and forth and teams would keep pushing back across the map and there were so many good choke points where fights would tie up and just be massive slaughterhouses. Curbstomping a team at their graveyard was meh. The only thrill I got out of DAoC was the first ramp room in the Spindelhalla dungeon because that game was a broken buggy mess. Despite also being a buggy mess, I have a special place for Anarchy Online. Some of their systems were way ahead of the day and still not used properly today. I loved rolling missions and being able to kinda customize it to my liking. Buffing and implants were a mini game all its own and working in to equip some crazy overpowered gear was awesome when you finished figuring out the exact order you needed to equip and buff in. DDO is a game I regret not keeping up with. I always thought it looked fun if you had a dedicated team of bros to play it with.

Ad by Khad posted:real relationships in everquest consisted of hating everybody, including your guildmates. ESPECIALLY your guildmates. I still harbor dislike for some people from rival guilds in Everquest and would have no issue putting a fist through their face if we poo poo talked each other like we did back then today. Especially the guy who stole a guild bank and used it to put a down payment on a house in Tennessee after taking over control of it from me when two guilds merged. Mainly because he thought of it before I did and I was too much of an honest sucker with morals to realize I was sitting on a mountain of platinum worth a shitload of IRL money.

Ad by Khad posted:It is basically a nothing on twitch because of how loving endlessly boring it is. The MDI gets (a lot) more viewers and the MDI isn't even pvp and also sucks rear end. To further drive it home how boring it is to watch, more people will watch streamers farm old content for mounts and items to play pretty princess dressup, which is the best meta game of WoW.

In a long lost follow up forum post, that guy had a mental breakdown when feedback for that feature came in as "not very good". He literally went on a tirade about how players do not respect the amount of dev time that goes into features like this, despite being told players would rather see said dev time go to fixing the cornucopia of tangled broken poo poo that was wrong with core game issues, like mitigation and stats just not working at the time.

You have 14 Days. If after that time the Plane is not properly tuned, I am deleting my characters, and cancelling all of my accounts. The rest of my guild will follow suit, as will several other guilds and people that play Everquest. To be brief, I did not work my rear end off, jumping through your idiotic hoops with my friends and guildmates, so I could go to a zone where only groups of 18 could enjoy the content. EVEN if past these initial moronic events I can finally get my entire guild in to raid with me, gently caress YOU GUYS. Seriously, gently caress YOU. I cannot believe this... right now I'm just so pissed off. I am sitting here in the Plane of Time, and 3/4 of my guild is just sitting around while a group of 18 is repeatedly trying to beat one of the mini ring encounters. Don't you people have ANY loving DECENCY? SMEDLEY WHY DON'T YOU STOP COUNTING YOUR MONEY AND START ISSUING ORDERS? The tragic irony of creating the ultimate cockblock encounter in the form of the Rathe which requires 80 people to defeat and then to limit encounters in the Plane of Time to 18. 14 Days.... after that this site will change from the most popular EQ fan site on the internet to the most popular World of Warcraft fan site on the internet. I'm done playing ball with you useless fuckers... it's my turn.

And after that it runs headlong off a cliff face never to be seen again because they nerfed the everloving piss out of charm. Then every enchanter heads back to PoF tables to solo AAs for the rest of their days, stopping only to try to peddle their KEI equivalent buff at the guildhall entrance.

To ensure he actually plays whatever of the game they made, the devs made a class specifically for him. Unlike when he tried shilling Vanguard and it was obvious he never even touched the poo poo and was hype phoneposting on the FoH boards while doing coke off a ladyboys rear end in Thailand. So many good Brad memes lost to time. Wish we still had the thread where he came here trying to hype Pantheon.

The thing I'll never forget about this was him coming back from the parking lot thing and just saying how they all got shitcanned and he's taking his computer chair home because it was super comfortable and at least he'd get something out of this shitshow.

I hope it does come out simply because it will be an elephant graveyard for MMO Boomers who can't let it go and understand the reason we put up with the poo poo EQ and UO handed us was because there were no other options. It was the people you interacted with, not the game.
