That would not be a Bad idea.

Game launches people buy and play, and Media gets a 14 day trial.

At least like that the media can make a more Objective review of a Full Live game.

I like it.

I just recently started following this game, but I have to say the community around it seems quite pessimistic.  I'm not sure why; perhaps there's a large back-story I don't know, but I have to ask why?  The graphics to the game look great.  I watched the trailer, and they're promising a lot.  Even if they keep half the promises, well, it's still sounds like it's going to be a fun game.  As far as being released, why not just be understanding and accept that all these games get pushed back?  And lastly, why the angst toward their secrecy?  It's their game and it seems to me they can release it (to their benefit or folly) how they want to.  Just a thought.

Sorry, but I am beginning to trust Aventurine less and less. At one point Taos said that "everyone" would have a chance to try the game before they buy. Now, they are allowing a select few into the "trial" as if that is going to appease anyone. The more and more I hear from these people the more and more the term "snake oil salesman" comes to mind. Time will tell but I have already slipped into the "stay away" column.

few ok LOLS

 anyone else notice that they are adding features in... less than one month from it being released? 

 

here is a list of what i consider new features that are being put in only 3 weeks before release i believe.

 

Rune Stones (recall stones) have been enabled.

Directional attacks for all melee weapons have been added. You can slice vertically or horizontally.

High score quests have been enabled.

Time limit high score quests are enabled.
Wildlife has been enabled. Tigers, bears, lions etc. can be found in nature.
Underwater monsters are now enabled.
Roaming monster packs are enabled.
More player skills have been added.

 

Maybe i'm misunderstanding it, but if the beta testers are just now getting a glimps of these, who knows if they will present bugs. Like now the roaming mobs will roam into newbie areas. I dunno what exactly could go wrong, but in my experience enabling things tends to add new possible bugs. And they are just doing this now? Well i guess i hope that they all work out the first time, or i wouldn't be surprised to see another month delay saying, "with all the bugs we found, we are dealying for a month to fix them".

 

Also for another example of what could go wrong, directional attacks for all melee weapons have been ADDED. see that, added, not enabled. How much you wanna bet that some weapons wont work, aka they wont deal damage, wont have the range done right, or something is going to be wrong with one of the weapons.

not ading enabling also some featurres are becasue of gameplay feedback omg they listen geese

Uhm, yeah....you've missed a lot, and there is INDEED a HUGE "backstory."  People have been waiting for the "imminent" release of this game for at least 7 years, although some will say 10 because it has changed "hands" once in the midst of everything.  And the "secrecy" is pretty much permeated with half-truths and lies and people over the course of all these YEARS have begun to feel some well-deserved mistrust toward the developer and the company's "spokesman," Tasos.

If you're really interested in the "backstory" you can find posts very similar to the ones you're reading today by doing a search on the game.....the posts date back for many years.
