I don't have much time for gaming these days, tried this out and have had the most fun I've had in a mmorpg since I discovered I could eat people in uo, probably the most fun in pve ever. Saving pvp for 80.

I like how I can log in and play for an hour and actually get shit done, I don't even have to look for a group the whole fucking world is my group.

Doing the personal story quests below the rec lvl has really been taxing my abilities, I like it, can't overpower it with gear and really have to think about what I am doing ect.

Engineer is my favorite class ever from any game, so many cool ways to approach a fight and I can buff/heal/attack by switching weapon kits, the game actually encourages varied combat approaches.

And holy shit they did a great job on the world artwork and architecture, some BRUTAL jumping puzzles haha

Still miss ddo but its not really something I can get stuff done in when I only manage a few hours a week for games.

Being able to fill a group for dungeons across the servers was well done.

Would like it if they could just sync all the timered events to just a regular spawn schedule and have all servers just go off the one timer so that if stuck into overflow for events, you'll still get the event.

I do like the open world but the mobs are just not very fun to fight, kind of boring and stale.  Nothing different really happens much between mobs(difference like Pit vs Cabal mobs and what they use against you.)  Champions are also a bit uninteresting and their HP are just insane stupid.  Nothing really challenging in most of the stuff.

DDO mobs were more fun to deal with at least.

I don't like dealing with krait.  They annoy me and I don't like fighting against them so I tend to avoid them.  I fight enough of them in W3 and I'd rather not deal with them there either.  I don't plan on dealing with that champ krait. 

Things like the dragons and inquest golam mark II should be bad assed fights but they are very lack luster.  I can understand low level world bosses being a bag full of suckage but dragons at least should be way more interesting than beating on their foot or just shooting at it from the spot on the rocks that doesn't give you that damage you get from being too close to claw of jormag.

I saw you link it last night. I hate you. Let's fuck now.

So... is GW2 still the go-to game for a DDO alternative?  I'm feeling the need for a game that isn't becoming just a really elaborate skin for a slot machine.

This is true for just about any Class A title.  I would challenge someone to find a game that is in worse shape in this area.

Luckily they have been hiring people that are really good at their job lately.

OK...  I'm sold.  From the reported size of the download though, I think I'll be ordering the box from Amazon; it'll be here quicker 

Yes ESO looks pretty interesting. I need something to complement my gaming for next winter mainly.  Currently I am building shelving, but I've done almost all of that I need to do.  My next project is a cat jungle gym.

but i actually meant cat housing.  Thinking something like this.  Went to get one at Pet Smart and it ran like $250.  Considering I have some left over carpet in the basement, I found my new time filler

Oh good... I've never played another MMO, so the one argument that could be used against my rants was "but it's like that in all MMO's" - I always hadda just shut up after that was pulled out.  Had no argument.

No walking unless you want.  And I would highly suggest walking.  The game looks great, and world completion is lots of fun, and the vistas are great.

Once you find a WayPoint (ie come within 10ish yards in game) its unlocked and you can tele there any time for an irrelevant fee.
In the world there are 511 different WPs, and within each zone there are between 10 and 30.  You can res at any WP you have found, and link them in chat to let people know where events are.

That's not the case at all in GW2 - there's mobs, events, vistas, quests, and crafting everywhere you go.
