What is your reason that make Tabula Rasa suck?

what makes you think tabula rasa suck?

what is the reason you think tabula rasa suck?

my reason: they scrap the original game. i like the previous style of the game cause the clothing, armors, atmosphere and everything just look alot better than ordinary starship trooperish. also  female armors shows alot of skin... but then they revamp and make female all clothed up and all with short hair.

I don't know if I would use "sucks" but its not a very good MMO, thats for sure

My reasons

• Very linear / scripted / on rails
• Grind-tastic, more or less killing 10 space pigs, 10 space bugs or 200 space orcs
• Too Zoney
• Didn't like the class system.
• No vehicles - essentually you are running around on foot from place to place just like a typical fantasy game.
• not very "epic" feeling. Running from "tent base" to kill space pigs...not so much.
• No air or Space vehicles / classes / areas
• Convoluted - incomplete and jacked up crafting / economy at launch
• Art was pretty uninspired

Really the only thing it offers is some missions. Everything else gameplay wise is about as ho-hum as any other grinder. Actually it didn't feel much different from something like Silkroad Online or any number of other raw grinders to me. All in all it was pretty tiresome from the start. What took them so long to make this game is beyond me.

Its not bad if are looking for something to click around on the side.

Enemy Territory - QuakeWars offers the same basic scenerio but with better gameplay and a much large / more complete scope of play (land & air vehicles) and its against other players not endlessly spawning brain dead AI mobs.

PLANETSIDE> Tabula Rasa

All those that like Sci-Fi PVP action... Planetside is the game to get it. Fine it doesn't have much of a story but now they have merged the servers the POP LOCK battles are back.

Still keep going back to this game after 5+ years =D

It is the lack of official forums.

So I have to trawl through tons of crap on third party forums from American teenagers who stopped playing in beta but still thinks that the world cares what they say.

After this experience I will no longer play a game that doesn't provide official forums.

In my opinion, TR feels like part of a game.  It just feels like there is something missing to make it 'complete'.

I felt no attachment to the story or my character.

I just didnt like the combat. Point with my mouse and click...boooooring. Oh and right-click to do a special.....booooooring.

Too linear, I wanted to go out and explore. Instead I was forced to follow a path right away.

Not my cup of tea at all frankly

My reason is the unfocused feel I get from the dev team.

They make hasty, broad, game sweeping changes, with little to no testing, and even less consideration to what the community provides for feedback. they make promices they don't keep, and they are contiuously rehashing things they've changed recently.

I get frustrated that they are wasting time, man power and resaorces on something, that only 2 patches (2 months) later they are again wasting time, man power, and resorces on to change again.

All the while not addressing glaring, broken game elements.

I used to say the game has potential. Now I say they've ruined the game and lost so much money, there's no hope. NCsoft didn't even mention it in the Q1 report. A 6 month old game?? That's a bad bad *coughautoassaultcough* sign.

honestly, I love the game. Just not enough to subscribe to it.

I played a lot of RG's games... this is the first one that ever disappointed me in its depth. It's shallow like most of the other games on the market, I'm quite disappointed in it. I wanted to like it so badly because I'm jonesing for a good sci-fi game... but this isn't it.

The user interface doesnt feel very friendly.  I wish the combat was more like it is in SWG actually.  In other words, I would like to be able to mouse over possible targets not point my entire character's body or that stationary target reticule at them.  It almost feels like the game was designed for a console.

Also, the graphics and lag are both issues that I have.  Now, I can play a ton of other games (e.g. LotRO) on very high and not have any problems.  But I am noticing creatures and NPCs just popping into existence on this game.

Definitely the quest system.. it's so old and boring and it sucks up all the content.

I wanted to do cool things with my char and socialize with players... but no, all I could do is collect junk, and place bombs, and deliver more junk.

WTH is the problem with the devs? can't they come up with new quests systems? What's really shocking is that before WoW, every single game had its own way to do levelling. Now they're all crazy about NPC's with their " ! " exclamation mark over their heads.

PLEASE come up with new ways to do missions.

They listen too much to the asian players who like grinding and difficult to the point of tearing your hair out missions and areas. I once asked a dev why a certain area spawned so many mobs and why the quest, which was marked as solo, and by all rights was easy in the beta. He said that all the korean testers said that it was too easy. Wtf?

Boring as hell game play. I played that stealth class up to 25... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....... I tried three other classes too, I still snored alot.

The UI is the worst Ive seen.
Crafting... that wasnt crafting. Im not sure what it was, but it wasnt crafting.
Quest bugs
Lagged all the time, everywhere, and I didnt have a low end machine either.
Boring and uninspired character creation.
The naming system that forced you to use the same last name for every character. Bad, very  bad.

There was only three things I liked about the game...
The foreans, I loved them, would have loved to play one.
Those cute cat-like creatures that lived around some of the forean towns.
The PA announcements in the main base.

The symbol system they had, had a lot of potential, but it went absolutely no where.

First thing I did when I got into the game was go into character creation to make my avatar.  I was very disappointed with character creation. 

I was like....what the hell...all the girls have short hair.  Short hair on girls is ugly.  This is my personal opinion.  I have seen exceptions to the rule.  In general though, if I see a girl with short hair, that is an automatic -7 on the 1 to 10 rating system.  Also, I didn't like her clothing/armor.  

I couldn't get past the character creation to enjoy the other parts of the game, although I did play the three day trial.  But I just kept looking at my character and feeling disappointed.

I agree that the lack of official forums is a huge negative. It's not the reason that TR sucks but it certainly doesn't help the situation.

The reason I think TR fails, is despite it having a great concept and good engine and combat design, there's no chemistry there to make it a good overall game. I can't quite put my finger on WHAT exactly it is that makes TR fail, but shallow content could be one of them.

Devs read and posts on the PlanetTR forums, though forums really doesn't do any good anymore these days, just go to almost any game's forums (FPS, RPG, MMO, sports) and you'll see about 90% flame and whine threads, it's probably why TR doesn't have their own forum- too much maintenance to deal with that.

 

 

PLanetTR used to be a good sorce for info and dev posts, but they allow the mods to become drunk w/ power, and act like having any difference of opinion is forbidden. Whether its a well composed post or not. They ban, suscpend and treat people badly. Specificaly, one mod, that scowers for the chance to repremand. Even their good mods have left the site b/c the admin places zero accountability on the nazi mod.

Lack of space, vehicles and pvp designation. Loved everything else, just not enough for me to come back.

It doesnt suck.....its just not finished.....you can really start to feel that at about lvl 35+ when the quests disappear....and at lvl 50 its hard to find stuff to do....and i hate re rolling so i took a break fron tr for awhile....hopefully they will fix what they have now and then add a couple more planets.....maybe even earth....until then cya in SGW
