Howdy, Stranger!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

I can't believe people actually play this

I play wow, everquest 2, and many more online rpgs.

and I gotta say wow...

this software is a plainly a big bag of network holes, bugs, errors, and just a plain horribly put together game all around. I've never seen such a badly coded game in my life. However, its got great graphics, and nice controls for your character making it nice and easy.. good luck in ever having the game run smooth/stable enough to even play it at those resolutions and enjoy what the game has to offer visually.

Everything in the game is instanced and the areas are all very small and bland. You see the same areas over and over again. (Kind of makes you feel like your playing Pac-Man except with demons)

As a diablo fan I am utterly disspointed by the quality of work that was put into this game. The game developers should of stayed at Blizzard because maybe they could teach them how to make a quality game without so many problems and errors. I don't think I've ever played a game with so many errors and bugs in my 14 years of playing games.

The company who released this game (Flag ship studios) should be ashamed to be even putting a subscriber price tag on it. I can name 50 other games right now that would blow this game right out of the water.

It definitly dosnt deserve a 8.1 user rating eather.

And please to you innocent game players out there. Avoid buying this game Like the plague. Don't buy this game. Don't do what I did. your wasting your time.

cheers

The network is poor? I have not once ever been disconnected since patch .1. Many bugs have been fixed, none of them interfer with game play. The game runs perfectly for me. Check your computer, if it's crappy then how can you blame the "coding" of a game when your computer doesn't meet the requirements. When they say you need 3 gigs or RAM to play, they mean it. I play with all settings Very high and the game looks wonderful, run at an average of 40 FPS.
    Everything in the game is instanced and the areas are all very small and bland. You see the same areas over and over again. (Kind of makes you feel like your playing Pac-Man except with demons) The areas are instanced, yes, but it's the same as Diablo. If you don't like that then why did you even bother buying this game? You say they're small? Did you get past the level 5? The levels are huge, some can take hours to clear. As for the repitition, yeah, it's true. But tell me an MMO that doesn't repeat itself and i will stab myself in the eye with a pencil.

Do you realize that after WoW came out, there were some major bugs that didn't get fixed until half a year later. After HG:L came out, there was a patch ever month, every one rebalancing, adding content, and fixing bugs. I highly doubt that you've played games for 14 years as well.
    The company who released this game (Flag ship studios) should be ashamed to be even putting a subscriber price tag on it. I can name 50 other games right now that would blow this game right out of the water. I doubt you can even name 50 other MMO's without going to the game list on this site. And did flagship ever force anyone to become a subscriber? No. Why the hell are you complaining about it? If you don't want to be a subscriber than don't. Simple as that.
    It definitly dosnt deserve a 8.1 user rating eather. Another point where you are simply wrong.
    And please to you innocent game players out there. Avoid buying this game Like the plague. Don't buy this game. Don't do what I did. your wasting your time. Innocent gamers? Most of my friends adore this game, and they were "innocent gamers".

    Fixes


    • The mini-game now has a timer. This is partly a fix for characters at level 50 who have finished all the quests and get the quest icon and therefore cannot finish it.
      • Fixed a bug where characters would not save when they killed 65,534 monsters in one session.
        • Grappler no longer changes a character’s position in PvP.
        Fixed a rare bug where equipping the Cleanser and a shield can delete the shield.
      Fixed a rare bug where Templar could equip both the Cleanser and a shield.

    Hmm... So obviously YOU read the patch notes right? And there were no fixes in them... oh wait! There's a whole freaking section named "Fixes".
    Re-read the yellow sections above and tell me whats wrong with them. First of all you're making false claims. Second of all, you were whining about poor performance, so the first thing to expect in a crappy computer. Second of all, you tell me what "network holes" mean BESIDES getting disconnected. That basically another name for disconnects.

    There's a huge discussion about the 10 million people playing WoW being ignorant about playing the game. And a game having 10 million people does not prove that it is a good game, not at all. I could go on for that for hours, but I really don't feel like dealing with you.
    I, honestly, pity you and the other 10 million people who "ball licked" Blizzard and think's their the best thing in the world, when really there's a lot better out there.
    And seriously, if you're going to try to have an intelligent arguement, try to know what your talking about before arguing about it. And what's 200 hundred people? Is that 200,000? Or just an imaginary number?
    Lastly, your comments in the other thread obviously say something about your maturity level, so I'm guessing that you're flat out lying about the whole 14 year thing. Probably haven't even been playing MMO's for more than 2 years. Anyways, go back to middle school kid.
    Lastly again, don't you find it hypocritical that you first made a thread about how you really like this game and how awesome it was, only to later make a thread to say how bad it was? Obviously you did have a good time with it, so how could you change your mind that drastically when you had to have fun with it to post a thread about it?

    You guys think its a big hoax and all these people complaining about errors are lying or something?

     

    Even without the errors the game is rather bland, like 1 cool skill in the entire game and the rest suck.  The areas are totally uninspired etc..

    you can sugar coat this game as much as you want  . but all ready this game as been droped in price . not by a small amount . games dont drop that much if there doing well . just hope all the people who bought this  game and paid for subs  feel like they got there money worth .

    one last point every one that bangs on how good this game is and all the ones that hate it come back  at the end of the year . see who was right

    Its an odd game, seems like some folks have a lot of problems with it, and yet many others are doing great and having fun.  (On these forums that seems to be true of every game)

    But what I do find interesting is how many posts complaining about bad performance by a game start off with,

    "I built my own PC and it has more power than a Cray supercomputer etc etc."

    I'm starting to think more folks should consider buying their PC's pre-built for them.

     And yes Blizzard produces way better games then flagship. You got to be on crack if you think otherwise. why do you think they have 10 million people playing wow online? and hellgate london has what.. 200 hundred people online?.. are you stupid? or just happy to see me?
     

    People tend to pick what is best and you say Blizzard is producing better game then FLS and that is why they have 10millions of player. Are there any MMO developers that have more subscribers then Blizzard, no not that I know of, so that would also mean that Blizzard is the best producer. And in the end WOW is the best game,

    Why is there even people playing other games then?

    Huh, you are talking about that you think blizzard is the best producer. Your opinion that is.

    I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.

    the original post was about the game engine and network errors....nothing about the actual gameplay. But if we want to delve onto game play....its not bad. a good, simple fps to kill some time with. SOme replayability, but not alot atm.
