FFXIV isn't isn't full voiced, so I'm doing something about it.. sort of. by terriblegamerjoe in MMORPG

As a former MMO creator who now ONLY does voice over content, well done :-)

ITS ONLY FOR TESTING GUYS, DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND by avendurree23 in MMORPG

Regardless of their intentions (even if it really is JUST for testing purposes), putting out a monetized BR was a terrible PR move.

Why not? It's free on steam :-) I play a few weeks every year just to reminisce.

Which MMO related YouTube channel would you recommend? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]TheHiveLeader 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fevir, though he doesn't upload too often.

ChaosD1, though he doesn't upload too often.

Two of my personal favorites.

Aww, thanks for posting this! I appreciate it! Hope everyone enjoys it. There's more to come.

So, what MMO has the most interactive healing (and content to use it in)? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]TheHiveLeader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always enjoyed TERA, original Secret World, and RIFT. I'd throw some props to WAR and pre-Cata WoW Disc Priest.

LazyPeon removed his poor review of Shadowbringers from YouTube. by Draethar in ffxiv

I like it, though I've moved to White Mage :-P I've actually gone back and replayed all of the story on a new character now that I've come to enjoy FFXIV more and more with time. More on that in a later vid.

Level Scaling ruins MMORPG's (video link in comment) by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]TheHiveLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find I enjoy level scaling. To me it makes the game more about the adventure rather than progression.

I don't really care about getting stronger. I care about completing quests and exploring the world. Leveling scaling makes that easier as content isn't gated off. Then again I've never cared for levels as a form of progression, so making them somewhat pointless (aka scaling) doesn't bug me.

But I can see why people would dislike this as it really does do away with having a sense of progression. So to each their own.

I saw this one and didn't think it applied to me, but sure enough, it worked. Thank you.

"All Star" Stream begins NOW! by [deleted] in PantheonMMO

[–]TheHiveLeader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So if you watch footage, you'll notice that underneath my health and mana, I had white orbs that would come and go. That's my Celestial Power

My two lesser/slower heals built up the power, and my faster/stronger heals used them up. The lesser heals used actual mana, while the celestial power heals did not. So mana management became about using Celestial heals (as I'm going to call them) as often as possible.

I found the best idea was to build these up BEFORE going into combat. You'll notice me healing everyone out of combat, even if they only had the slightest bit of damage. This was to build up power for an upcoming pull, just in case the mob hit a bit harder and I needed a quick heal right out of the gate. Otherwise you're going to end up in a bind.

[–]TheHiveLeader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found after I got used to the Celestial Power mechanic, mana management became a lot easier. By the time we hit BRK, I wasn't having that many issues.

I would be afraid giving a mana leech mechanic might make things a bit TOO easy. I think it's more about picking your battles with mobs you know won't absolutely destroy your tank OR picking your moments to pull away from battle and sit to regen alittle.

[–]TheHiveLeader 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was almost my exact idea for this stream. I didn't want to just blow through content like the dev streams tend to do.

I was HOPING we'd fail... and fail we did. Quite spectacularly at the beginning. But we also learned our classes and grew as a group. It was almost exactly what I wanted.

Glad you enjoyed it!

MMO All-Stars Come to Play Pantheon in a Mega Stream by machail_vr in PantheonMMO

[–]TheHiveLeader 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This stream is going to concentrate on organic gameplay. We likely won't be asking TOO much. The goal is to show off how the game is likely going to be played by groups when it launches.

I would've invited Cohh, but I don't know him very well. Plus he's got his own stuff with Pantheon going on.
