Quote:I'm not sure if the current server architecture could handle it, or if server transfer fees are a too important cashflow, but turning all the current servers into shards of a single server to allow fluid movement bewteen the shards would be awesome.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
I agree. Not making it xserver is rather... well pointless given the other ways we have to communicate
Like if you were on the Defiant shard, you'd just need to bring up the shard list, select the Victory shard, and one loading screen later you'd be on Victory.
To streamline it, there could be the restriction that when you switched shards, you woudl always end up in the zone you were in on the previous shard, which would cut out the need to have a list of all the zones pop up when you were choosing the new shard - like if you were in Atlas Park on the Defiant shard, and switched to the Victory shard, you'd end up in Atlas Park there too. -

But what if two people have the same name and queue into a trial? :P

Quote:That's the major problem with the LFG concept right now - it's kinda alien to the established 7-year culture of forming teams, then running missions that it's been dropped into - the majority of players are naturally treating it as just another contact, with clicking "queue" replacing clicking "accept mission"/"agree to form a Task Force".Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
I'd like to disagree with "A". I believe people prefer making preformed teams, and closed teams for that matter.

It really should be cross-server, to get the most out of the system.
Letting people enter from missions maps is a good first step, but it still needs more to make it work properly. -

The Laura Lockhart mission timers are really lame if you're a level 20 controller and the NPC backup keeps getting snagged on scenery.

I voted, but I'm keeping my choice a secret.

One of the many icebergs that the TORtanic has crashed into is the fact that the modern MMO market is way more competitive, than before and the players are way less patient or forgiving of bugs and bad design choices - a lot of players expect a new MMO to have the standard features of an MMO that's had several years of updates and refinements, which makes the job of trying to tempt players of other MMOs who have invested a lot of time in their avatars and social groups even harder by having to tempt them to switch their sub to a less polished game with fewer features.
EA's triumphant follow-up to the Sims and Warhammer Online has also had the problem of launching into a market that's had a radical shift to hybrid payment models in the last year or so, leaving it's older sub-only model looking kinda limited.
As the servers empty, they're faced with a similar problem to the one SOE had with DCUO - an expensive high profile IP title that was forced to merge servers and add a free-to-play option less than a year after it launched. -

It was by the development house that brought us Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Mass Effect 1-3, Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2.

They're both fun, but Laura's arc is more serious than Graham's arc.

Sadly, I don't think I qualify, I accidentally cancelled my subscription to get the twelve months plus two back in december since I couldn't find any option to just buy the extra time and add it to my own.

The following contains a spoiler from the DA content!
Been dying to say this for a while now but i really like the idea of putting clues in content which describes us as doing something before we've even done it!
For example in the SSA5, one of the clues says that there was an incarnate who defeated the talons in the time of cimerora and now in DA we find out that the incarnate in question is ourselves!
Those kind of neat little touches i really do appreciate, hope there are more clues like those in the future!
Another neat bit in part 5 is the mention of Romulous being defeated by time travellers - which is written in the same way to allow players to recgnize it as a reference to themselves if they've played the ITF, but is also vague enough to take in all the alignments. -

No. he was a level 51 EB.

He'd have a cell phone, because we can ring him on the STF - but I don't think that he'd need a car

Blue Steel didn't get three power sets. Three power sets got the privilege of being used by Blue Steel.

And these things can still be there, via a system such as the "Echo" instances. Want to get a team together to run an old Hamidon raid (for example) after canon has resolved that issue? No worries, everyone meet up in Ouroboros, click the crystal, and have at it.
I just don't buy the "so new players can experience almost decade-old content" excuse of justifying basically "no significant positive progress [with "positive" possibly being defined as "evil" in the case of villains] can ever be made in the game."
