The generic MMO is probably defined by the colossus that is WoW, hence so many comparisons, but ,love it or loathe it, WoW clearly understands its theme and its roots hence it somehow becomes more than the sum of its parts..... CO is an avatar creator plain and simple it doesn't really make enough effort in any other area to be compared to WoW or any other mmo - and the profound lack of conviction, by the design, in its core theme seems set to ensure it never can be.
I love how people call things "WoW Clones". Why a WoW clone? WoW is a EQ clone, so why not call them EQ Clones?
That's because this game is nothing like EQ1. This game took the heavy based Quest nature from WoW and made that the focus for gaining XP. Similar to Spellborn.... ?I gotta hand it to Cryptic though their quests are way better then Spellborn tho.
Problem is they do not provide enough content by far. MY guildmates (penny arcade) are trying to solo quests that are +3 to them. I was trying to help some poor L21 do L25 mobs and we got plastered a bunch of times
My one friend that is L34 basically gave me a guide how to avoid being stuck like she is w/o having Q!uests to do. Which is bloody sad.
It all goes back to my original post. The devs nerfed XP from Quests and mobs. This would be fine if they had content. But the boneheads have NO CONTENT. And they admitted this. So now they will fill in content gaps with repeatable quests..... argh, the pve'ers are in uproar
The pvp'ers were happy cause they were getting decent XP in stronghold (31+ pvp). But the devs nerfed that too now. So everyone is stuck grinding. And this is not grinding like-- "oh my god I gotta do quests after quests". This is the bad kind- where you have no way to earn decent XP. So u gotta grind like in an Asian MMO on same repeatable content u can find over and over and over
To be fair on my L21 he has a full journal. But I also do PvP and will just group to help others complete their quests. So I don't expect to hit the gap til I hit 30s. I'm taking my time and leveling alts tho and trying to see if they fill the gaps properly before my free month runs out. I know the MMO is new but its a bit too rushed out the doors atm
Funny I got to level 40 and not once did I have any content gaps. Sure there are many people crying about these content gaps but they obviously didn't look for quests they waited to be told where to go next for a quest, they also did not do any PQ which give xp and are repeatable.
Not enough content plagues every new mmo that gets released and yes even WoW had a lack of content. The only game I can remember that had didn't seem to have this trouble was EQ but then again you did not see level 50 guys running around in under 1 month from release.
ahhh!!! The wow folks. Look stop playing 24/7 (this game has been out for 2 weeks) enjoy the game stop rushing to max lvl so dam fast, and get out of the house more.

The rush to the max level is crazy. You miss a lot of the game content when power leveling.
I remember way back when AC1 was released and advancing levels was slow... it was a FULL YEAR before players started reaching the max level (it was over 2 years for me). Any more, players think advancement is too slow if they can't max out in less than a month.

If you made your character during early head start then you leveled on old XP rate. If you pvp'ed then you of course got extra XP that way
the devs have already admitted there is major content gaps. Fans that try to state this is a lie just make themselves look bad yo
Seriously guy how could you be max level already. Must be nice to have all that free time yo

They admited there were some content gaps the word major has never been used. The content gasp are only in the 30s aka the last 10 levels of the game. Hell as of right now im lvl 27 still doing 26 quests..so if your hitting content gaps earlier then 30...its because you power leveled or didn't even attempt to look around or deviate at all from the standard quest line.
ahhh!!! The wow folks. Look stop playing 24/7 (this game has been out for 2 weeks) enjoy the game stop rushing to max lvl so dam fast, and get out of the house more.
I hope you're not refering too me cause you dont know me. I've been playing EVE online for one. Next, I've been casually leveling. But inspite of xp nerfs its still really fast. I work 12 hrs a day + have family. It's plain silly to tell the player, "hey dont rush to max level!!!"
Um, why am I supposed to do? Just like sit around town and talk with other players while the devs take their sweet time to add content?

Tell that to my guildmates that have no content to do. If that's not major content gap I dont know what is.

Yeah I was tempted to change title of the thread. It's more of a mix between AoC and WAR but with some original concepts here and there. Not saying the game aint fun. I'm still playing. Just thinking I should wait on a 'polished state' is all. Because I've been playing eve for yrs so I've just gotten spoiled by polished work
Plus, the pvp should be better in a few months too if they ever get a chance to add villians. Probably be a year or two before that happens tho huh....

Definately not a WoW clone is right. If anything, it is Age of Clonan in tights.
Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware
"Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."
Yeah I was tempted to change title of the thread. It's more of a mix between AoC and WAR but with some original concepts here and there. Not saying the game aint fun. I'm still playing. Just thinking I should wait on a 'polished state' is all. Because I've been playing eve for yrs so I've just gotten spoiled by polished work
Plus, the pvp should be better in a few months too if they ever get a chance to add villians. Probably be a year or two before that happens tho huh....
