    i'm sorry if i talking about that but this head start sounds like a Pay2win, so, who pay more start first, who pay less start after, and who pay more, has a greater chance of making more levels and be more advantaged..... for me is not a great start for this game

    It will be interesting for sure since what 3 day head start? Most PvP flagged PK will already be there and going up while those coming in will have to deal with it 45 on losing experience when Pk'ed is going to suck.

    Yeah, I thought it was a joke you had to pay 100 to get an earlier headstart. The game seems great and all...but that's a bit much to play sooner with my friends and what not.
    Please come check out my stream. All the love is appreciated!

    exactly

    I 've lived a thing like this in ArcheAge, for my fault i start 5 days after the early access, and i could not level fine, a lot of 50 coming to killing low level chars, like "i love to win easy"

    i suppose to find the same story here, and with Guild capped to 100 players, i suppose to find better guilds already capped too

    Well at least it is 45 so not as bad but the group ganking probably be a bit over the top for awhile.

    i was under the impression that below level 30 you couldn't be ganked unless you turned your pvp flag on? is this not so?

    You know your logic makes no sense right? It's a buy 2 play game, meaning anyone who buys the game first will have an advantage over someone who buys the game later.

    based on what every video and people say, you cannot be ganked until you hit lvl 45. At 45 you are automatically flagged for open world pvp. I dont see the problem with people getting an earlier head start. People level up at different intervals because not everyone has the same time to play. There will be many people that always hit that max level before others even if they started playing together.

    So what is the difference?

    If I play a MMO later then release date it is impossible to play?

    And what if someone -unemployed or not in school- plays 23/7 and someone with a real life that plays 2hrs/day?

    Or all get in at the same time and only those with actually good compute are able to play (if the server would not crash). Staggered "releases" like this are actually a good thing. Not a bad thing.

    I could explain it but seems you already have a set mind on it not being p2w.

    Few more years of gaming you'll figure it out.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    If the outrageous cash prices were not enough to prove this developer has not got a clue,then adding in head starts when you have a PK system,should solidify ...they don't have a clue.
    This is the way Korean game designs have been going on a long time now,including being able to spend money in CS to further aid your Pvp.Then people wonder why we always stereotype their game designs.

    It really seemed like they started to veer away and do something different but couldn't resist themselves from going right back to square one.

    I know people love to find reasons to cry P2W, but this is stretching it a bit. 

    I self identify as a monkey.

    I will be honest. I have been reading this site for a long time. Does 'Wizardry' like anything? Perhaps I missed it, but he/she seems to hate every game on this site. I could be wrong though.

    I just do not understand the negativity for a game many of you do not like (so why post?). It was a great headstart for me. No issues and a lot of fun. The cash shop was down, so there is a chance they removed the questionable areas for the launch. They did say that they would work on it after CBT2.

    It seems that MMO'S are like any convicted person. Guilty until proven innocent. Also, headstarts have been around for a long time. Why is it pay to win now? Some will power level...others won't....just like any launch

    It does suck that I have to travel for work the next three days. My headstart is over. Errrr....
  • lemonhead78lemonhead78 Member UncommonPosts: 31
    Oh well. Just saw that they are only dropping the price of costumes a few bucks. That sucks. I did not see this as a long time MMO anyway. Fun romp....that is all
  • Mange1Mange1 Member UncommonPosts: 266
    The 100 dollar EA was a shady tactic indeed, but it's hardly under "P2W". You can't PVP until level 45 though so that won't be an issue for people catching up.
