I was burned by EA with Swtor not too long ago. Thank you OP I don't want that happen again so soon. If I look at this game it will not be until at least 6 months after launch.

 So what, being popular and well liked isn't a character flaw.

Odd isn't it?

Disagree 100%

Its really a mixed bag, im all over TSW and am excited for it. Im about 30 hours into it.  I talked to a few people and there thoughts on the game, in game, and some said they wernt sure if they were going to buy it, one said there not cause of the subscription, one said " hell yes!".  Personally I can overlook the flaws the current build has and say Id  definitely buy it.

The same people raving about GW2 combat which has...the same combat as far as a limited selection of skills, leading you to spam more of one type of skill than a game with 4 hotbars jam packed with skills.

imo you shouldnt bring GW2 into the discussion, as it stomps every MMO that has been announced or is released currently. there is no spamming in GW2 because most abilities are skill-based, like they would be in a MOBA. this means you're constantly positioning and aiming to get the greatest effect. not to mention the combos youre doing with other people. i was using all 10 abilities on my guardian (15 in pvp if you count the elite form) on every CD. i was actually overwhelmed.

the issue with TSW is that it copies GW 1's system with the skill deck, but it plays like WoW. select target, click, and watch the animation unfold.

Hey genius EA is only a distributer not a publisher man I hate it when people make uninformed posts that are full of it

 

Not to mention he was going to base his purchase decision on some random rant on the Internet by some guy he doesn't even know that can't complete a proper sentence. It's a crazy world out there sir, Crazy!

 

tell that to the Thousands of posts that supported Bioware and said its EA's fault for the shortcoming of SWTOR and every other game that comes from Bioware after EA bought it.

I'm downloading beta just to see how bad it is.

The OP is not the topic of the post. Let's get back on topic. Without referring to politics and bashing Funcom without reasons to back things up.

Ea did have its hands in TOR, they own bioware. EA is only distributing an already made product for us sales only for funcom. See the difference?

what can i say is in 1h im not getting any fun. i will give a break and try later more time.

the litle combat i had was boring 

I'm having plenty of fun wiping out supernatural menaces to society with a shotgun.

Honestly couldn't agree more with the OP as much as I didn't want to. Was excited about this game but it's honestly a train wreck. I've already uninstalled and cancelled my pre-order and I'm off to paly soethign else for a while...

On a side note, what is with that character "customisation"? There's only SIX faces per gender across 3 ethnicities, 2 black, 2 asian and 2 sort of... well, not sure what they were really. All of them are really low quality with minimal tweaking that can be done and genuinely look like a bunch of over 40's fresh from a car accident. Match that with a bag of un-matching trashy clothes found at the local lost-and-found and you're all set for your venture into "The Secret World". I was already disappointed at this point, but then the terrible voice acting and poor quality animations and visual bugs, then followed by the sub-par game and story experience. No thanks!

haha this is OP too. Mr. 1 post "I agree" guy. Who's paying you?

I'd agree with the OP, I was looking forward to TSW and GW2 for, respectively, PvE and PvP but I've played both betas and honestly TSW doesn't compare to GW2 in terms of "production quality".

As pointed out by the guy who did the video "10 reasons to be interested in GW2" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBC_ig73aMs the production quality is how well things fit together, the clunkiness of animation and combat (or not), etc.

IMHO TSW lacks production quality: it is clunky, it is slightly unpleasant to play and not as smooth as you would expect a game to be.

I keep my faith in the game, but I will be twice as careful before buying - the beta failed to convince me.  A shame because I was really looking forward to the story of the game (but I'll keep myself updated on the game).

PS: I should add, the story looks interesting.

I'm lost. Isn't this still in Beta?

Is this info coming from beta-testers?

Aren't they supposed to find broken things in the game?

No. It's the beta weekend. Which means its open season for critics to let the pen flow--so to speak.
