Hype Train transforms into the Flame Train..

Vorch

I really don't get it either. If I'm going to quit a game, I post a final post with as much constructive criticism as I can, then leave the forum. People haven't even played the game yet, lol.

Still having EQN as a supplement to GW2. I'm just waiting for more cash shop and bot protection information (really wish it was B2P)

I don't think it's hate. It's people who love the EQ franchise and don't understand what this is, neither do non-EQ players. I would call it confusion.

Do you know where this is going? I don't. There's massive gaping holes in their gameplay arguments and a lack of info on the gameplay.

Undefined crafting, combat, raiding, questing, PVE, PVP, server choices, class choices, AI.

Exactly.

Is it just me or does the ridiculous amount of hype for new MMOs seem to get more silly with each one?

I just don't get it.. Why is there so many people hating on this game before it's even out. You really can't judge a game until you've played it, especially MMORPG's. Any MMO gamer would know this..

Just because it's changed it's concepts from the other EQ games doesn't mean its good or bad. We won't know until we've tested it ourselves!

I think all the hater's need to take a chill pill and take a step back and stop whinging about shit that the devs will never change. (eg - core gameplay mechanics)

If you don't like it don't play it, it's as simple as that.

...we need more positive threads and informative posts. Not ranting.

 

 

 

Because the graphics are cartoony.  That seems to be the biggest complaint.

Actually I would argue there is already an unprecedented amount of fanboism going for this game that mostly exists on paper.  So focus on the "haters" all you want but for each one of those there is at least one fanboi to cancel it out pretty much.

I dont think its the game mechanics people have a problem with, its the looks of the game, and thats already been shown and unless they change that, then I'm afraid people can make conclusions this early.

Nothing to see here, just the PVP crew talking nonsense after they learned class balance is not a focus in this game... which of course means no gank fest noob squads waiting in the bushes.

One does not excuse the other.Both are irrational and unproductive.

While I agree with you about the numbers,right now the Haters are louder and more prolific at crating new threads and restating the same opinion over and over in different words.

The balance could shift at anytime though.

I agree there are more negative threads being created, but find within the threads the fanboi comments dominate, perhaps provoked to by the negative threads.  I'm also seeing quite a few fanboish posts in threads that aren't praising the game but also not being hateful.  Seems to be a decent dose of both.

You are possibly correct,I haven't really noticed but I'm also starting to wind down reading all these posts unless something catches my eye.These forums have already gone back to spinning wheels like before Aug 2nd with the same opinions being repeated over and over from both sides.
