Personally, I'd be fine with leaving out Battlegrounds and focusing on open world guild vs. guild. A lot of people arranged some nice impromptu open world battles in the last CBT.

From what my brother told me, he heard their licensing deal with Games Workshop gives GW a cut per subscriber, so switching to a F2P setup would be an accounting nightmare.

Which is annoying, since if any fanbase has the "whales" F2P games make their money on, it's the GW fanbase.

Two different things from Blizzcon cut already! Who had their money on "Monks don't have auto-attack."? Payout is three to one!

I'm amazed they're still saying the expansion will have Pet Battles. That has "Dance Studio" written all over it.

It's "special" in that this is the Civ Revolutions/Civ V Firaxis making the game, not the Alpha Centauri/Civ 4 Firaxis.

Still can't believe there's a six soldier unit cap. That's less than half a Skyranger. Even UFO:Afterlight had a higher cap than that.

To be more accurate, the term "Gauntlet with Lego dudes" should be used.
It's not like you do any building in the games...

Also, quite lovely to see DC maintaining their "Superman and Batman only, no side characters after 1990, Final Destination" method of promoting their IP.

And now we engage in rampant baseless speculation as to what the title entails.

Sandbox MMO based on Earthdawn RPG.

Actually, I found DDO to be faithful overall to the rules of 3rd edition. I personally think a major impetus for 4th was people playing DDO and being directly forced to deal with 3e's rules without "Let's start the campaign at 4th level", "Combat's over, we rest for 8 hours", and I don't know, whatever DM's did to make fighters useful . DDO took 3e and removed all the cushions of house rules people had built up.

My real issue with DDO was taking Eberron and turning it into Faerun with warforged. All the flavor of the setting was gone.

A thank you in the email and a thank you in the video.

Thinking this is mostly to soften the blow when they say "Sorry, we can't let most of you in the beta."

ME3 demo encapsulated everything wrong with 2010s gaming (Linear corridors, cutscenes with meaningless choices, multiplayer with a level grind, graphics made uglier to deal with console limitations) so I'm gonna avoid it.

Also, every single bit leaked about the ending seems like a huge middle finger to fans of the first game.

Champions Online open beta impressed me and my brother enough to buy the six month subscription at launch.

The launch day patch guaranteed my brother stopped playing entirely three weeks after launch, with his highest level character at 17.

I quit at the four month mark, and gave my login details to a friend wanting to try it out.

Should have known it would turn out terrible when they were tying in STO beta access to Champions.
