You've conveniently ignored the point that the changes were massive and released on launch day without playtesting and that they affected much more than the passive defenses. They also introduced bugs (field surge, etc.) that would have been found …

Yes, it's a good move to announce their intentions, even if the infrastructure for implementing them isn't in place yet. This way, the players know what's coming and aren't stalling their head start characters in fear of increasing the already-exp…

Originally posted by therain93 First, can we even call a day 1 change a nerf? The changes here were the result of playtesting and feedback. Next thing you know, people will be complaining about changes made to a game between alpha and beta.... …

Edit: Re: Sorrow Actually, I think a lot of the negative reactions and refunds have to do with customers losing faith in Cryptic as an MMO developer. That may seem harsh, but sweeping nerfs on launch day without play testing, and multiple failed …

People have a problem with the "just play" philosophy because: * Gaining levels increases respec costs. * Gaining levels awards new power/advantage/talent points. Unspent points make respeccing more expensive (as of this patch). The smartes…

No, I definitely agree that they want more lifetime subs. $200 up-front + box cost is excellent for an unreleased game without a lot of promise in subscriber base. Whether it was intentional or not, the temporary removal of the offer got CO a lot…

... or they know that they'll sell more lifetime subs if they remove the offer then "graciously" reinstate it. How many people who were on the fence before are rushing to buy now?

That's the thing. If you preorder/buy at release, you're gambling that the devs will fix the bugs, balance, and performance problems quickly. The question is, with STO beta coming up, will they shift resources off of CO after launch? Star Trek is…

Yeah, the delays when doing 180 turns with mouse+keyboard are pretty annoying. But I found the mouse+keyboard much more flexible and easier to use than the 360 controller, once you customize the key bindings. Unfortunately, doing so seems to mess…

I can see it being fun for a few months, but definitely not worth a lifetime sub. That's especially true while we don't know how far they're going to take microtransactions. In my opinion, it doesn't match Aion's production values (for the same …

The system is almost setup to force MT respecs, especially with the huge raise in respec costs at the end of beta (and the inability to send money/resources to alts). The cost makes it difficult to re-stack skills to keep certain skills within the …

Under "Stability", I think it's only fair to mention GameGuard for Aion. It's extremely intrusive and it doesn't like a lot of common drivers (Sidewinder, Diamondback, G15, to name a few), and some common anti-virus software. You're right that it …

The thing is that you really do get out of it what you put into it, just like anything else. Personally, the most fun I've ever had in an MMO has been in top tier raiding guilds, with 90%+ attendance. Playing casually and jumping between games and …

You only need a File Planet sub if you didn't get a beta key from somewhere else (like a pre-order), unless you want the faster download speeds.

I agree. Try the beta before buying if possible. If nothing else, it lets you verify that: * Aion(+GameGuard) runs on your system, especially mouse/gamepad/AV software. Make sure that settings from your mouse software work in-game, that you c…
