At least there's not overwhelming hate for Mythic because of the recent decision

All the polls on this board are showing about a 50/50 split between those who are fine with Mythic's decision to release with just 2 cities (4 cities later) and those who hate it. Also, it's about 50/50 between those who think it should be released soon and those who think it should be pushed back. So overall, this is a very mixed reaction.
That's not too bad for Mythic. At least they got the ugliness out of the way. Now it's nothing but goodness from here on out.

im more upset about the classes then the citys but oh well EA calling the shots. but at least mark was like guess what guys...... up front about it at least so it makes not so evil. but time will tell time will tell.
When I first saw it on here 'OMG CLASSES REMOVED etc' I thought.... Here we go again another AoC but it's only 4 plus I'd rather just two cities it means everyone will just be fighting for that specific one thus more concentrated RVR

Yeah, I honestly thought that there would have been more people predicting gloom and doom from this. For some reason people love to see others fail.
What I'm afraid of is something more important to the game getting cut. Like some kind of core feature(like city sieges, keep sieges or guild ownership of said keeps.).

Yeah, I really like the Choppa class myself. Who knows? They might change their mind on the classes part of it. Seems like there's less to trying to balance those classes than 4 whole cities worth of content. So I'm sure they could do the balancing thing before launch.

Highly doubtful. All of those features you mentioned are already in beta and working.
more then likely if were lucky they will get them done and offer them in a free expansion.

The thing isn't making the classes balanced. Its making them more fun to play. Thats why they are removing them. They want them to be very unique and not your cookie cutter tank and dual weilding damage dealer. This is why they are removing the classes, not because they are broken or can't compete with the other classes.

I don't know. The Choppa class seemed like an interesting class to me and so did the Empire Knight class. There's plenty of people out there who enjoy playing a hardcore tank class. What basically happened was that there wasn't enough interest among the Beta testers for those classes.
I've spent about 2 years following this game. Two years of reading press releases, responding in forums, digging through YouTube for gameplay footage, and just genereally scanning through alll the sites to find out more information. After all that time invested I've decided I'm in it for the long haul. I still have my CE pre-ordered with Amazon and I'm still looking forward to Open Beta. (Guild Beta just started so it must be getting closer). So for now I'd say I am cautiously optimistic. What will come, will come. The cites will eventually be reintroduced and if the shekved classes aren't brought back in than I imagine something will eventually take their places.
I choose to look on the bright side. Mythic is definetly locked in on their fall release date. They were honest enough to reveal all of this info so that those of us who preordered the CE would still have time to cancel our orders if we wanted to. Also this definetly shows that Mythic's first priority is deleivering the best game possible in the time they have allotted. After all they were willing to take such a nasty PR hit.
