They're making the game worse with every iteration!

It was actually quite pleasant to play at early access launch...

...abysmal now...make or break time frankly.

Should've stuck with the MMO instead of listening to the 66 people asking for the single player game instead.

As somone who played the MMO version, they would have had 6 players instead of 66 - was even worse

The MMO would've had room to expand and improve along with the monetary rule where people are more inclined to spend money on things to look pretty around others. This game is in the same boat as Pagan online which is looking for customers who are already playing superior ARPG and trying to persuade them to move to and stick with their inferior product.

Given how small their scope is with the current game (it's really dumbed down compared to TL2), I can't begin to conceive of them making an MMO. It just feels more and more like a mobile game.

In my opinion, it's coming along nicely with each iteration.

When we get to release we can see about make and break, or more likely what degree of make it has as I don't expect it to fail.

If they had retained the ActionMMORPG they started with rather the more modest approach they adopted it would have ended out larger in scope. Plans changed and what they had needed to be adapted accordingly.

Is that what they're doing, trying to get people to switch.

I'm pretty sure all they want to do is sell the game, and don't much care if you abandon other similar games you may own to play theirs exclusively.

It's not like one can't own and enjoy multiple games of the same genre.

Umm no - when the game's good, people play it in droves regardless of the pre-wipe state


T3 is DOA

Because they don't have any other good games to play in the mean time? There are some that don't want to play due to wipes, as is evidenced by posts in the game's Steam forum. As to what percentage of players that is, who can say. but it is greater than 0% at least.
