Before you go about doing two things; arguing that people are complaining too much or, complaining the game sucks take the following into account.

1. If you have not passed lvl30 yet you have not explored %75 of the content. If you have gotten to lvl30, the true end-game, then you can make valid arguements to people who complain about the endgame. If you are just on a trial and haven't gotten 30 yet, your arguements are useless as lvl30+ is a desolate wasteland with a few quests and players.

2. If you complain the game sucks for graphics, gameplay-wise, etc. Remember, the game is a more advanced game in terms of graphics so your computer or internet may not meet the requirements, so don't scream like a little girl until you read them. If you complain the gameplay/content sucks, take into account the game was released about 2 months ago. Most MMOs start out like this (WoW did) and you need to give them time to develop; although TRs devs are awfully slow.

Veterans: Remember, when complaining, the first 25 levels or so are pretty damn fun, so if they fill out the late game with similarly fun content, the game will rock.

That being said, the wasteland sucks.

I agree with you 100000000000% if you catch my drift. I get so tired of seeing the inexperienced players get on here and start Trolling. Its gotten to the point where i ignore all of the negative post and dont even respond to them.

Great post, maybe we should make it a big fat sticky that every body who visits these forums when they visit, or maybe a big fat popup would do.

I agree also.

In all MMO games, there is a lack of content at higher levels when the game first comes out.

If you either love them or hate them, UO, EQ1, EQ2, WOW,AC, AC2,SB,EVE, DaOC, etc, etc, etc. All of them lacked higher level content at a time.

Now think of the amount of money generated by each game. Now tell me which game has produced content vs. money intake. WOW would be dead last, considering the amount of revenue the company takes in. NcSoft gives free content, on a regular basis with City of Heroes and Guild Wars. You actually think they are not going to do the same with their new child?

I could be wrong, wouldn’t be the first time, and won’t be the last. But I don’t think NcSoft is like SOE and I think they will add on this game for quite awhile.

But I got to admit, I am becoming a Tabula Rasa fanboy. I think I am so tired of Fantasy, I have no choice but to be one.

In Tabula Rasa, what makes the +30 lvl game anyway different than the -30 lvl game? I don't see a difference.

I also don't think people have to reach lvl 30 before they can offer critisizm or praise, if you've played the game, you've played the game. The only difference between lvl 5 and 35 is you a have a couple more skills to utilize. The gameplay itself doesn't seem to change from what i've seen.

I still play TR casually, and I like it enough to pay the monthly sub, but lets face it, TR doen't have an end game, nor does it change any in the upper lvls from my experience.

TR is, in my opinion, a pretty good shoot-'em-up online game, but offers nothing innovative or new to the genre. If you've played CoH, game play is similar to a AR blaster.

Pros: Exciting combat

Cons: Exciting combat is all there is, becomes boring after a couple hours at most for me. That's why its sometimes a week between sessions for me.

To the newbies, I'd say enjoy the game in very small bursts so as not to burn out on it. It's a one trick pony, so don't expect a "real" MMO experience. Enjoy it for what it is I guess.

ZeroKORE · January 2008

I agree with the OP - Aside from the fact that the dev team is slow.

They are some of the fastest devs I have ever seen, and they LISTEN to the community, and even interact with us in game! I have held many conversations with devs, and I know they are working very hard to get everything smoothed out.

One of the big reasons I love this game is because the dev teams take such and active role. They are on forums, they are in game, they are doing RP events that the PLAYERS set up - and the devs join the fun. And they ban the spammers almost immediately.

I have very high recommendations to the dev team in this game.

And to the OP as well, if you were thinking they are slow because of the 1.4 patch due out... A dev was saying its like 14 or 16 pages of patch notes... Thats a crap ton of fixes, adds and changes.

Im not flaming you or anything - deffinetly not trying to be mean.. just stating my opinion Good post tho.

Hey, you make a very good point and i do agree with some of what you said, but my thing is you have guys who come in and play the game for 3 days, or until lvl 15 and they attempt to offer a well described version of the game thats completely off base. I had a friend who played because i asked him and he stoped playing at lvl 7. His annalysis was completely wrong. So thats why im agreeing more with the OP.

You make a good point man, but people coming in and judging the game and they only played to lvl 5, 7, and 15. They dont know what there talking about. By the way i have a lvl 25 on Cass, and a lvl 35 on Pegasus.

In every MMO I have played, the game begins at end game. So I agree with you, however, I would say level 30 is "mid-game, my reason for this is that you only then get your final class, so it's another step to learn. End game would consist of about 48-50 as in most games, its only about there where you can participate in true endgame content.

I never understood this... but I guess that makes me an explorer type as opposed to something else.

My general experience is the levelling up is full of the joy of a new world, discovery, mystery... end game is a matter of running the same old content again and again and again for marginal increases in gear. If you get to see it, that is, as most of the end game content requires an organised guild to play it.
