Originally posted by AwDiddums No you are not correct. What i wrote in OP is my own personal experince and what i read and saw in general chat as well as the game experince of those with whom i have been running dungeons. Nowhere even once i mentioned that 'all' get them. Your own words not mine. But did i see a lot of players talking about it and suffering from lag, disconnects? yes. Also i don't see any reason of hostility. You calling me an idiot..even though i never posted any thing about exploit on forums however i did see them disappearing very fast. Good players trying to bring up the issue so that it gets fixed nothing more. Only idiots are those who are exploiting the event. I suggest read my OP again properly so that we are atleast on same page for further discussion. |

Yeah, I can live with the load times, and the disk usage during play, but it would be better if that didn't happen. I don't have the money right now for a new SSD right now. Join the League For Gamers. |

You should give it more than an hour, the first Few hours play makes you think its constant cutscenes and corridors like swtor. It opens up more once you get away from Tokyo / home city / kingsmouth town centre.

Nice article! Smells like a dying MMO to me; reminds me a bit of how stuff went several months after the release of warhammer online. Keep up the writing!

Probably not, and how the hell did you come to that conclusion? |

This is one of those games that I had really high hopes for. I wish companies finished their products for once.

Originally posted by kadepsyson Do I have type it in caps that PvP isn't a strength of the game? Maybe if you lived in a cave you would not have heard that PvP isn't this game's strength and you shouldn't purchase the game for PvP reasons only. For the love of god people look around and do the smallest bit of research before purchasing a game. I'm trying really hard to find some sympathy for OP but I just can't muster it.
OP why do you care if someone exploits an event? Does this game have viable PvP or open world PvP....no. So why the hell would you let that ruin your entire game experience?
Because you are having issues doesn't make this game a complete fail as you are in the extreme minority with lag/system issues. |

Originally posted by Doogiehowser As you stated, a good game is nothing without support. However good support for a bad game doesn't work either. TSW is just simply a bad game, not much at this point can fix that. |

Originally posted by Doogiehowser So, you'll have no compunction in changing the title of your thread from the melodramatic one that it is to something like "this game appears to be a mess" or "in my opinion, this game is a mess"? I find this useful when trying to write opinion pieces: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime Some scholars advocate using E-Prime as a device to clarify thinking and strengthen writing. For example, the sentence "the film was good" could translate into E-Prime as "I liked the film" or as "the film made me laugh". The E-Prime versions communicate the speaker's experience rather than judgment, making it harder for the writer or reader to confuse opinion with fact. Emphasis, mine.
As for the exploit, yes, I agree, it's rife. I petitioned a GM and their response was "we're aware of it, we're looking into it and I can't comment on whether it is considered an exploit at this time, though if you are consider participating in this actibity I would recommend erring on the side of caution" - good enough for me. I hope they come down hard on those using it. |

Originally posted by AwDiddums My whole guild dropped this game because the lag has become unbearable since the last patch (that was before the B2P influx). Lets not pretend it doesnt exist. Before the patch, ran smoothly at max settings. After the patch, runs like an old film at minimum settings with massive lag spikes every minute or so. The only way I can play is by speccing as a tank and hoping the lag isnt long enough to kill me. Dungeons became impossible. |

I wouldn't say it's a mess, but it still is an unpolished game, which is why it failed. Not because it's so smart and hardcore. My opinion of TSW is a bit more positive, but I still agree with your criticism. Putting those Mayan mobs in Kingsmouth was a really stupid decision. It's surprisingly unprofessional. |

Basically the OP has no clue and should stick to WOW, there I said it. Summing up a whole game on a one time event and one of the three pvp games is just bad. If you really did your research before playing like you said, would have known TSW's strong area was the story arc and PVE mission. |

Originally posted by Mulli I was under impression that whatever you write as a review, preview or first impression on these forums is nothing more than your opinions based on your own personal experince in the game? do i really have to insert IMO everywhere? honest question. Also i think to be melodramatic i would have to come up with a review like this... |

Originally posted by Doogiehowser Fair point and my honest answer is; I'd love it if that were the case, but the number of opinion pieces stated as fact on these forums is beyond the pale. It never hurts to emphasise that one is being purely subjective and in no way stating opinion as hard fact. Your link is the perfect example (if you take the original "review" in this context). |

Originally posted by kadepsyson Not when started with a thread title that cites opinion as fact ("This game is a mess!"), no.
edit: to clarify, I play the game, I enjoy the game and for the most part, I agree with most of the OPs points. If my comment comes across as an attack, it isn't. I just find it frustrating on these forums to see so many threads for so many games with mediapathic titles that, deliberately or not (and I'm pretty sure in this case, it wasn't deliberate) cast an overly negative or positive light on a game by their tone. |

Originally posted by Mardukk That is an odd question. Maybe because i don't like game exploits and it is deterrent and discouraging for those who want to win this compeition in a legit way? if you read my OP this one was just one of the many issues and not the only one which hampered my game experince. I can only imagine how all the MMOS would turn out to be if the player base stops caring about exploits. However, i never said game is a complete failure. You are doing it again...trying to put words in my mouth. What i said was that i realised why TSW failed (past tense) as a P2P model. And i even said that in order to be a long lasting success this time FC needs to be lot more aggressive in their approach. |

Originally posted by kadepsyson In which case, my first post still stands. There should be no issue with it being changed to "in my experience, this game is a mess"? Yes? No? |

Originally posted by Mulli Well my apologies that i am not too faimlar with the status quo of these forums when it comes to giving a review or first impression. Because by default such articles are suppossed to be a personal opinion unless it claims to speak on behalf of entire playerbase. So nope no where i stated that 'game is a mess' as a fact but you and others are free to interpret title in any manner you like. It is a free world after all. |
