Gods and Heroes

from what i've been able to determine from the gods and heroes website the game will be released with big sections of the game missing

so why bother?

i know i won't be purchasing now that i've found out crafting will be an add-on - at some future date

isn't it time for game devs to stop making promises that usually go unfulfilled?

what else is going to be missing and added (maybe) later?

So how is saying "it will be added in the future"  turned into a promise for release?  pointless topic.

They're concentrating on the core game and getting that down for release... not a bad thing if you ask me. Most games do the exact opposite and get torn down for that... so now a company does what everyone asks for and gets torn for THAT too... can't please em all i guess... What i got from reading up was that they're gonna release the core game based around rome... then in future expansions they're releasing new continents and new lore and crafting yes... but what would you rather have a game that focusies on they're core game and then releases great expansions OR a game that takes 10 years to release is buggy as all get out and never releases an expansion?

-Limited PvP until the NvN expansion comes out unless the FFA servers are up at launch

-Lack of Races because the Egyptians will not be added until the expansion

-Lack of ALL the quests because they'll be continually adding more

WOW..maybe you should NEVER buy an MMO or computer game again because lots of things get added or fixed after release..

The other posters explain the reasons perfectly, I just feel like poking a troll.

Nope, it is about time they did it how P.E. is going about it. That is focusing their effort on the core game that everything else will be based off of and having it be solidest release to date.

 

With that accomplished, it will be much easier to fully concentrate on crafting and make that the most robust and innovative system that it can be. The same would hold true for any other future “add-ons”.

 

Also, P.E. is one of the (and I dare say “the”) most up front companies in the business. What they can’t do now, or want to make perfect for later and not give us a half assed product now, they tell us. There are no “promises”.

ummm.....would you buy a doorless car on the promise that you'll get the doors 6-12 months down the road?

Make, model and year of the car?

No matter how long you work on a game or test a game there will be something wrong with it because either there is so much coding that there are bugs or something looked better on paper but didn't pan out that well for the real deal. Not flaming or anything but thats an excuse because it looks bad if a company ever says they need money to continue making their product. No matter how upfront a business is there is always secrets, its required for them to thrive, people would worry too much if they knew everything and then the business would fail without support

Don't take it personal or anything but thats probably more of the truth, and at the same time if there not being any crafting bothers you then wait for them to make it, honestly if they were gana add it now then it would tak on even more time all there doing is giving the people something to play while they continue to improve it.

At release, GnH will look great, run great and be fun.  The crafting and pvp systems implemented will be what the players want and will be so much better than if they were just quickly put in there without any thought.
