Guess crafters need not apply to this game. Which is ok, I'd rather have no crafting (like here) than to tack some standard WoW crafting like every other MMO. Either do it well (SWG, EQ2, Vanguard) or don't do it.
Not sure I understand the part about not the character, but the player learning the recipes. So basically, everybody already knows all the recipes (as we all know in this day of Internet, even a totally secret recipe takes 6 nanoseconds to be publis…
FFXIV is the first MMO ever in my long history of alpha's & betas MMOs that I don't want to play after the first day. It's not even the technical issues, which I sort of expect (though not really in this case, considering the game goes live in …
I still need to see how it plays out. I don't like the game restricting me on what spells/skills I can use. I'd rather be a specific class&level if I can use all my available powers at will (or with little prep time) than the Guild Wars style of…
I was one of those hyped (and later disappointed) by FFXIV open beta.
I was following the game news, forums, etc. I've been in many MMO alpha and beta tests, so I know when things are "it's ok, it's beta" and "this sucks now and will suck later".
…
These are the things I expect. If not exactly like that from start, to let me customize keys to them or as close as possible:
- WASD for movement, mouse movement to move the camera (with or without having to hold a button, no preference there)
…

I'm on the 4th book right now. It's a very good reading. It's like there's a whole new world every 50 pages.
I wonder how it'll translate into an MMO though. Will there be different 'worlds' or simulations and the same "meta-character" could be a…
Considering I choose a 'class' and only select the race with the best stats for that, and they haven't published any stats for any race, I don't know yet which race I'll be. I know I'll play a caster, so whatever's best for casters.
you're changing a bad for a bad. Either you suffer not playing the class you like now because of what others might need later, or you enjoy playing the class you like now and maybe it's not wanted later. I'd say, don't worry about what you don't kno…
no news since 2008, I wonder if it's still in development. The developer (gtc or something) was in trouble earlier this year but received some funding, but they're more known for their Drakensang games. Think they were acquired by a free to play gam…
Originally posted by astoria I like crafting that is complex. More complex than in most MMOs. I like the system in SWG, Ryzom, FE, and Vanguard to an extent.
Crafted items should always be better than dropped or NPC made. If the game has a combat …
That would suck for me, as the thing I enjoy about MMOs is the journey. When I reach max level, it's 'The End' for me (except creating a new character)
I like when crafting is a game in itself, like in EQ2 and Vanguard. I hate the 'gather mats and click' systems like WoW's.
I also think crafting should either be integral to an MMO or not there at all. Games that have it 'tacked on' after the fact…
I'm also looking forward to this game, but I haven't heard any news about it since late 2008. Also, I learned dtp got in financial trouble, but was lately helped by another company so not sure if this game is still a go.
Originally posted by Zookz It looks interesting to me, and I'll keep my eye on it. I don't know much about it, but if they use the same engine that AOC runs on I think I'll have to pass. As good as AOC looks, I feel like I'm caged in by all the inst…
why do people think of 'bunny jumping' when talking if a game should have jumping or not? There are many ways to stop that, like, it using endurance/stamina (like it was in old EQ), or it being in a timer, or it penalizing all your stats for a time…
Only if it has perks, and one of the perks is beta access and/or early start. Problem with preordering (at least online preordering) is that you usually have to wait while the game is shipped, but with betas and head starts, they usually give you a …
