Same problems with PC games. In-game store purchases, Asian knock-offs, pay-to-win, and high prices. At least the mobile games aren't using the presale trick (yet) to get players to pay for game development, all leading up to launches of games sti…

It'd be nice to think that games do what the players want, but that's just wishful thinking. Game developers aren't in control. The people in control are the bean counters in the back room computing what will make the game the most money. Does th…

In my opinion, Endgame is just that, the end of the real game. What MMOs call endgame is what we used to call quick, throw together content that we used only to fill up time when we didn't have time to do something significant. Frankly, I wonder a…

Having played a tank, healer and dps in the game, it's the same dynamic as every other game. DPS just try to put out as much damage as possible, when that isn't really playing responsibly for a party victory. That's why I personally call DPS [Duh,…

As far as all the dozen, or so, MMOs I have played at launch, I'd have to agree entirely. Can't play the game on my initial toon and if I can play it at all it's on the JP worlds, which definitely won't have any transfer ability in the future. The…

There is no reason this should be accepted. It's pitiful. I agree that nothing is going to be 100% error free from any business, including MMO games, but that should be a mark still aimed for. It's launch day and people can't download the game, c…

Yeah, I've been part of 7 major MMO launches in the last few years, and none were perfect, or even close. But, it's one thing to have things in the game not work and another entirely to not be able to play the game at all. I'd have to say for jus…

I agree wholeheartedly. If people accept crap from companies, they will gladly oblige, take your money and give you just that. As for the pre-order period, it has been pointed out that the people who pre-order tend to be your most valued cons…

Somebody really messed up server sizes. The Duty server is way undersized and SE's solution is to allow fewer and fewer people to log into the world servers and actually play the game so it can handle the traffic. Queues are well into the triple d…

That's the way it is with MMOs now. Start server max load, and beta, testing during the pre-order/pre-buy period with no intent at all to have the game even close to error free at launch. The companies don't even bother to test simple things any m…

I agree that player involvement earlier in a game's development would greatly benefit all involved, however I think this is nothing more than a pipe dream. First off, the game developers and programmers are slaves to the number crunchers in the …

After playing sub and f2p games, I would much rather have games with a sub. With a sub game at least the players have some leverage with the game company as far as game content, fixing items, etc. If players don't get what they want or the company…

Hmm, jump from one ArenaNet founder game (Mike O'Brien, GW2) to another ArenaNet founder game (Patrick Wyatt, En Masse Entertainment). No thanks. 2 out of 3 of the ArenaNet founders abandoned GW2 when they sold the company to NCSoft, and both hav…

Boy, the term "bug" has sure changed in meaning since when I was programming. Now everything wrong is a bug whether it's a fluke in an otherwise well-working program (original definition), poor company planning, or just plain lousy programming. F…

I have to agree with the OP. The last beta ran mostly smoothly and now things are a mess. Things aren't getting fixed quickly and if there are server issues now, just wait a couple days and then a day after that when they pick up additional people…

I would say the game is bordering the flop end of the scale. Throwing huge amounts of money just for Star Wars licensing fees made sure that the game wasn't going to last long term. The storylines for the characters only served to support the shor…

After playing beta, and leveling 2 1/2 characters to 50, I don't find anything about the game to be groundbreaking. In fact I find the game to be a really bad representation of the Old Republic times in Star Wars. I here people talking about the m…
