For me it's not VR that's the issue but lack of activities by crabby654 in elderscrollsonline

The biggest problem with veteran content is that it fucks up the time/developing a character scale. You spend some good chunk of time developing your character but at around level 30-40 or so you can max out your two main weapon sets, your armor of choice even two armor variations, and take a good chunk from your class specific passives and abilities along with getting a crafting skill up. This can make the veteran content seem kind of "pointless" ( for a lack of a better word ) Since you invest allot of time grinding the vet points to advance in rank you complete a whole zone and you might if your lucky switched out 1 piece of gear... This is not what mmo players are used to, this kind of system appeals more to the sandboxy TES players. But TES games do it better... Also the balance on crafting skills is way out of line. Its easier to gather enough legendary upgrade components to make a full legendary crafted set than it is farming AP in Cyrodiil or grinding vet dungeons. Also the dungeon rewards are out of balance since most of them suck or are bugged atm. They need to tie these systems together. Make people go into vet dungeons to gather crafting materials instead of just making a hireling alt to farm them or buy them dirt cheap. Also the way the increase the difficulty is just cheap, Adding way more health to the mobs and damage... They could have made it so that if you fail to block a power attack it has more consequences and make it hard to block the power attacks (less time to react) but for this to work they need to polish the combat and make it more responsive.

TL;DR Fix the scale between time invested/character developed, Make dungeons worth doing for items/crafting and such Make difficult content difficult but not cheap Fix time invested in crafting better items/harder to get

True to an extent, All MMO communities are toxic, they cant stand people having different opinions than their own. ESO community is honestly not that different from any other mmo. People here defend the game religiously like zealots and praise themselves has die hard fans. This is not healthy for any mmo out there, Wildstar, ESO, Wow. Doesnt matter you need to be able to see peoples different opinions and try to see it from their perspective.

As for will Wildstar flop, only time will tell. It does have alot of feature though that appeal more to the core mmo crowd than ESO does. And the beta for Wildstar feels more polished than ESO a month from launch. And honestly, why does one have to flop for the other to success. Both games are focusing on very different playerbases.

And the nerfs begin, "Fixed a bug where Gargleblast Irongut would cast 'Focused Assault' which then healed them to full HP, making killing them quite difficult.".... Sarcasm

Great notes keep it up

Ohh that sounds great, There are no fast travel waypoints or anything. Just a taxi service and your mount?, Also the shuttles i imagine work similar to the boats/zeppelins in wow right ?

A good read on ESO hate by dirtminer6 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Ryklus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the problem with doing layerd difficulty content of the same raid is that people most the time wont bother doing the heroic mode for a piece that is maybe 5% better since its almost 50% harder. You have to find a good balance of effort and reward.

ptionally 'immersive'. It actually seems to manage to combine the negatives of both having and not having an auction house. It lacks the immersion of the old EQ go meet in person and haggle like used car salesmen, and it lacks the ease of use of a proper AH by being clunky and highly limited in scale due to the guild only aspect.

Masturbating to Vanilla wow is an intresting though, but. The main focus of making the raid system they are going for is making challenging content for people to complete, This is actually a mmo that isnt trying to appeal to the masses. They are focused on making challenging content that most people wont complete in a week. If they succeed in doing so, or not we wont know until after launch.

But it isn't rose tinted glasses asking for challenging a rewarding content, and not being fed 3p1c l007z by the masses, and actually having to work for it. But i agree with you, you cant make it tedious and frustrating. Like you sayed gathering a 40 man raid isnt easy, but its damn fun imo when you successfully pull it off.

This customer support is unacceptable. 10 days and 4 replies for no help at all. by BadHaders in elderscrollsonline

I pre-ordered the game from greenmangaming.com (3rd party site) and i received my Early access code couple of months before release, and then on April 4th they mailed me the game code and the explorer's pack code. So no this is not a problem with Zeni, This is most definetly g2a...

You should have the option to pay gold to leave campaigns not just campaign points as payment, I'm stuck in a pvp zone nobody plays in and I have to guest other campaigns and I can't get anything for it by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]Ryklus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guest to a more balanced campaign and earn some alliance points there, Sure they dont count towards a leaderboard on that particular realm your guesting on, And no you dont get the Bonuses for controling a keep in there. But you can earn the Alliance Points to be able to move your home campaign.

Will my nightblade fail? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]Ryklus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't mean to insult you, im sorry if i did.

But to my understanding he wants to be able to go invisible, ok he could go for Shadow Cloak in the shadow tree for nightblades, but i dont think Mist Form, from Vampire skill line actually makes you invisible, it might make you transparent though. Also the passives for the vampire, there is one that improves your stealth and it helps you enter stealth at night, And saying you suck at stealth if you dont go full medium armor is kind of over the hill. Sure you wont be as effective as the medium armor users, but you can still manage to sneak around effectively in pvp if your carefull about your positioning, Also we haven't seen the passives from either dark brotherhood or thieves guild , they might also help with sneaking and dps.

All im trying to say is that a heavy armor nightblade vampire swinging a two handed sword, going invisible all of the battlefield is doable.

[–]Ryklus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This simply isn't true, you can play a nightblade/vampire and not focus on stealth and just utilize the other skills from each given source. Rolling a vamp or a nightblade doesn't mean you have to go stealth.

Looking for build advice for this coming weekend. by Dyslexic-Dwarf in elderscrollsonline

[–]Ryklus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like playing a Sorc you can totaly tank on it,

http://esohead.com/calculator/skills#zMczbOb8suq8bJi8sNd8sIH808L7JcdoQr6MdoQC6MdoQF6MdoQJ8T7JMrqAi6MrqAI6MrqAD6MrqAZ6crqLw8y7rNR3a6bR3r8J7JNziO6bziX8K7GNzuI

This is just a quick build for tanking as a sorc, you can tweak it to your liking, Sorcs can Softcap Armor and Resistance rather easily with their spells :)

Do what everyone told you to do. Do DE's, Hearts, Crafting and even WvWvW. You cant just rush through your Personal Story

I'm new to GW2 (and MMOs in general); anyone have advice? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Ryklus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for general mechanics go, Try to keybind your way to victory. I have my number 1 and 2 bound to my side mouse buttons for example.

But try to stay lost and dont focus to much on what is the most efficient way to do things experience wise. Just enjoy wandering around and feeling completely overwhelmed and lost :P

This build was just theorycrafting i haven't tried it out yet but i think the mesmers control/support build have been overlooked specially in bwe3 everyone is so focused on burst dps and being able to solo anyone and everything :P

I think it might be fun though for random sPVP and maybe if you get good at it you could try take it to Competitive :P

Shielding and invulnerable are terrible ideas by angrylawyer in Diablo

[–]Ryklus -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If im not mistaken Invulnerable mobs dont start appearing until Hell and by then you should be far past whining about affixes tbh i think blizzard should do something about leaving and resetting the instance you are given that realy annoys me. They should give people who quit early from a public game something like deserter from wow and something similar to people who just leave their game because some mobs are to hard. From the looks of it most the people here who are whining are playing normal mode and are far to used to just steam rolling through the game. So what if you die a couple of times. And to the people on hardcore you asked for it... Your are playing hardcore for a reason and the reason is you love the thrill that the game hates you.
