it takes more than 3 weeks for a game to lose its player base.. diablo 3 took a month or two and by then 90% of the people who pre ordered were no longer playing regularly, that may have raised since then though due to the paragon levels. Check back…
i'm in a similar boat.. i'm not enjoying the game as much as I thought/hoped I would. I was hoping I could play this game for a while and ignore the WoW expansion, now i'm feeling like the 25th can't come soon enough, in only two weeks I went from e…
I find myself enjoying parts of it, then disliking others parts enough that I have buyer's remorse about pre-ordering it.
Enjoy:
Exp from exploring/crafting/etc not just grinding
Level scaling (both up for pvp and down for low level zones)
Lots …
actually WoW beat gw2 in world events too at one point in time.. back pre-bc world dragons would spawn in 6 locations in the world at random times, they took at least 2/3 of a 40man raid to down so it become a mad rush to get your guild to them asap…
I don't like how 90% of people defending the game are using the same "enjoy the journey, not the destination" argument. The fact is, most MMO gamers today are conditioned to level as rapidly as they can so they can get started on whatever it is you …
Games need a grind of some sort to keep you playing it after you've reached the max level, thats simply a fact and one you cannot argue. It doesnt have to be a grind that makes your character significantly stronger (i.e. the WoW raiding gear grind),…
In a word, yes. 50-75%+ will quit by the end of this month. It's usual for games to lose players after launch but considering Mists of pandaria is coming out in a month, and torchlight 2 soon also, GW2 will take a massive hit.
They will be forced t…
The game has some serious problems. Like you said there is no point in playing anything but a max burst dps build, there is no return on investment for points/gear spent towards a defensive build since you still die almost as fast.
The combat syste…
I spent $10 on an extra character slot because I wanted to try most/all of the classes before deciding on a main.. kind of regret it already cause the game is starting to bore me after playing through the starting areas 5-6 times.
In fact starting…
Originally posted by ormstunga Rift and Lotro are your best bets I think. Similar gameplay to WoW. You dont really need 10mil ppl to enjoy a game surely? Each server can only host so many ppl. I havent played Rift for a couple of months but I think …
As much as i'd like to see it happen, I can't picture them just abruptly shutting the game down, because if money was tight they would pull the plugs on Matrix Online & Planetside before SWG, in hopes of salvaging it somehow.
As a reuslt of th…
This video once again proves why little emo kids are < everything.. even star wars fanbois who camp outside theaters can kick their asses. Those kids were not punk in any sense of the word, unless by punk you mean prison slang for someone who's m…
The release dates on this site are almost all wrong (can't expect accuracy from a site that gets their ad revenue from corrupt, despicable coin/PL-selling companies like IGE); there's no way in hell the game will be released that soon.. i've pre-ord…
Asheron's Call 2: Got sick of the gameplay during a free trial so I just bailed on it.. seeing as it was recently shut-down, that was a good move on my part.
Saga of Ryzom : couldn't make the interface work for me, and was getting bad lag so I jus…
Aside from the pre-order bias.. anyone else get the feeling that perma-death in a practically open-PvP MMORPG is a bit harsh? I can't imagine paying to play a game where, if I happen to lose connection once at the wrong time ,I just lost months of w…
I haven't tried the beta yet so can't comment on the soloing, but if its bad as you say, then yeah they need to implement ways to do it better. Henchmen would fit with the theme of the game since as I recall, in some of the old D&D PC games (Rav…
Good for them for giving the finger to the corrupt farming companies that are ruining MMO's for profit..
Fact: the market for coin/characters/PLing has ruined any sense of fairness, integrity, or honor in online gaming. Because of them, no one ca…
I was on Atlantic shard from day one until they introduced trammel/felucca a few years later and the game went downhill.. i'll never forget the game as it was either, it was probably the best time I ever had in a MMO. I was always a thief & eve…
