The game has a lot of major selling points to me--class changing and customization, robust character advancement, and a beautiful world aesthetic, to name a few. What I honestly enjoy most, though, is that the game's story, setting, and lobby framew…

Why are people wishing for EQ3 when we never got EQ2?
I thought Vanguard was EQ2? I mean, it did so well, after all, and everybody knows EQ means McQuaid, right? Right? Guys?
The problem is that Pantheon, like V…
Alas, I, also, am alone in the abyss, lost and wandering, friendless, keyless. My eyes turn upward and I see only darkness, surrounding me the void of empty-handedness. My hope sparks anew a gleeful taunt, but flickers faint and dies, hushed and f…
The idea of AAs actually managed to ignite a spark in me where previously my excitement had dimmed down to cinders in the wake of discovering (belatedly) that despite the massive possibilities for combination of classes, characters are limited to ei…
Skald. Would play again. If I had to choose, I'd prefer SBCs to mounts ten times out of ten. That said, basically I agree with MJ's proposals so far. I do have questions, though:
I like the notion that this game (to say nothing of the next g…
I pray that the RPS design direction MJ has been talking about recently will mean that CC is on its way back, along with meaningful healing, sniping, etc. I agree wholeheartedly with the OP to the extent that CC is one of the first, best tools avai…
I quit spending because of ascended gear.
Right now I don't have the game installed on my machine. That's not to say I'll never play it again, but I'm not spending any more money until something like an expansion comes along that actually justi…
"There is no aggro system" is, to me, a nonsense statement. There is an aggro system. Any roleplaying game with multiple targets has an aggro system. "Roll 1d4 and attack whichever character comes up" is an aggro system. "Attack whichever PC the…
Am I supportive of attacking people's server infrastructure? No. I'm not, no matter who you're talking about (unless maybe it's a hate group or something--but we're talking broad strokes here). That kind of thing is not something I support, endor…

As the title says i havnt seen any thing postive people have been saying other than those of us trying to defend it. So ill ask what are you most looking foward to in ARR?

Yay! Better ways to funnel everybody to the treadmill content that made all of the--eh, screw it; it's not worth it anymore. Smed needs to get it in gear over there.
TLDR: Brief hype time, long combat pacing, infrequent but non-zero voice acting.
I agree with the sentiment that actiony combat with no downtime is good for playability but absolutely awful for community-building. Sure, voice-chatting guilds is…
WOW, necro after necro. Kudos for keeping hope alive.
Anyway, I think anybody who played DAOC during its heyday (myself included) would cheerfully agree that DAOC 2 would be about the best damned thing to come to MMOs since, well, DAOC. Of cou…
Originally posted by Sovereign1 I think this looks awesome. The UI, the graphics, animations, and combat all look very polished. I love how the spell with cast bar pops up on your character along with the spell name and icon, how the damage and comb…
Player retention depends on the players having purpose. That's not the same thing as progression--but that's an easy way to get there. I understand the OP's desire, albeit perhaps only as a thought experiment, for a game that has neither carrots n…
Originally posted by strangiato2112 Originally posted by evilastro but its still the same static rotation.
In most cases its far from a static rotation, more of a piriority system. And rarely do you get a chance to just sit there and p…
Well I haven't uninstalled the game, and I'll probably take a look at the patch notes.
But I have no desire to log in anymore. Thinking about the game just makes me sad, and I'll never spend another dime on it. It doesn't matter what they do a…
I have a hate-hate relationship with raids, because traditionally they've been associated with the damaging idea that recruiting X other players is something that should be rewarded by in-game rewards despite the fact that it has nothing to do with …
I'll always commend them for at least having a forum. I lobbied for them and maintain that it was a good decision. That's industry standard as far as I'm concerned. Of course they're getting heavy-handed now, though. They have good reason; playe…
