Yep no thanks to both. Tried ESO beta and very boring/poorly done, and Wildstar well a bit cartoony for my taste. Been playing PS2 recently and probably will continue. Dont see much on the horizon to look forward to sadly, maybe WoD in 2020 or so…
Moral of the story, don't keep your damn NDA so long. Let people see and talk about your damn game. You are trying to sell a product, don't hide it. The benefits of doing that were....?
So does this bode well for the new crop of games or poorly?
I suppose you could argue either way, you could say see the sub model is viable therefore, wildstart, ESO will have a chance. You could also argue that these numbers are going up because …

Is it really so hard to accept that its just a bad game? Many people played the beta so they are not just throwing bs out there. Those that played the beta might be trying to warn the general community of another swtor or gw2 (or worse). In the e…
I think DDO had a decent Model (unlock content/extra classes/race) but can earn in game. Tera as mentioned before is also decent. Some more unusual models would be the Second Life model, allow users to Mod the game essentially, allow them to sell …

Yes the meta gaming aspect of WvW at this point is huge. I assume the server your mentioning is Black Gate, they are famous for their 'war chest' and paying guilds to transfer over (and yes since numbers = win, it is basically P2W, though…
I see a bit of irony in the video to be honest. Ripper picked the explorer path, then he is given a giant arrow to follow for his quest. Am I the only one that does not think that is exploring?
The OP commented on more things then just visuals…
Yeah shuffling around matches does not really do much. Servers have huge population imbalances which is a major issue. In WvW coverage wins and numbers win, therefore population will be the prime issue.
I appreciate them trying to add some var…

Is it a division between MMO players and hardcore TES fans?
Not at all, the many people I know personally who actually tried it are huge fans of both and it disappointed them (and me) on both sides. Those who li…
One correction to the article. Originally when Ascended items were released there were no laurels or any other way of getting them aside from grinding fractals. So no from the very beginning they had the mindset of adding a very specific type of g…
The only expansion that brought me back was CoH when the released CoV which could be considered a different game, depending on your point of view. I have heard that the GW1 expansions people went back to check out as well. But I agree, patches nev…
Originally posted by kinart GW2's WvW is just a treadmill thing. There are no enemy nameplates (just a generic 'Enemy scout from XXX server'), and even the 'XXX server' changes every week. So you fight with anonymous players of some random server th…

There are millions of people who don't bother telling the entire world what they want. I for example never use a game's (or product's) forum. If I enjoy the game, I keep paying/playing it. When they start making c…
The reality is it will disappoint ES fans, and MMO fans, and DAoC fans. I hate the NDA but that is all I can say. It really does not have a chance. I appreciate they may be a major advertiser for this site and you have to do what you have to do B…
I don't think people in general care about the company selling gold. Grated it is P2W or Pay for time. What bothers me about it is that it creates a inherent conflict of interest within the company, which promotes longer grinds and less rewarding …

I do feel since the start of the game, they have steadily introduced more 'grind' less rewards to encourage players to buy gems/gold. Anet is essentially a gold seller here. I would say this is seen in DR, nerfing of Karma, events, and so forth, i…
