Some quick thoughts about the weekend......

  Meh ..... same ol' stuff in a different package.  Played like every other decent MMO I've played but with a few more/different button mashes.  I'm more of a care bear when it comes to MMOs which pretty much focused me at the beginning (first 5 levels).  Graphics were decent and the world seemed detailed and alive.  Sounds where cool, the jungle back round sounds seemed right on target.  The initial levels were the epitome of linear but that's usually how it goes (tutorial levels).  I hear the game opens up a bit after you do some leveling.  I don't know.

 

  It certainly wasn't a bad experience ..... just not geared towards the care bear this weekend.  I tryed out all (3) of the mage classes and found the spells/animations decent.  I had a great time the first time through the PvE levels.  After the third time through it was feeling a little repetitive (As it should).  I did try the PvP and it seem chaotic and laggy.  It was fun for a minute.......like I said I'm not a MMO PvPer.

 

  I do understand this is a PvP weekend for a game that is tauted as a PvP game.  As a result I can hardly bellyache about my experience.  I can see myself playing this game providing the PvE content is there.  I also like to divert from being a care bear and do some crafting sometimes (Thats not really a diversion is it?)  anyway ..... no crafting this weekend.  To be honest I haven't heard much about it.
