This again? The game is 7 years old and there are some nice new shinny games coming out. They will loose players no doubt. However, I also have no doubt that MoP will be a hit and bring all kinds of people back as usual. Just my opinion though. Who knows. 

Yeah I thought id put a post on it since the population declined by 800k first then 1 mil soon after in a short period of time. 

Video explaining the title:

With Mists Of Pandaria announced, Blizzard has seen 10% of its population cancel their subscription base. Is this a start of a trend? Or just a pre expansion routine? Tell me what you think down in MMORPG.coms comment section below.

it does seem like an interesting concept however... there is still that little issue most have farmed those dungeons countless times already, don't think that's what many want to do again, refarm content they know by haert.

Yeah, but we've seen in the past people will do stupid things for more rewards xD

I will just preface in that I didn't watch the whole thing. I don't know if it's this machine (work station), but the framerate on the video is very choppy making it hard to follow what's actually going on in the screen.

Additionally, it seems this was your first GoW game, which is cool. For my tastes, you mentioned CoD a bit too much (too different of shooters) but I suppose if your audience are people who've never touched GoW before they may appreciate the comparisons (though I definitely did not) - and from what I heard, that definitely seems to be your audience.

The GoW mp won't die. It's not as big (or ever will be, imo) as CoD's, but it won't go away. GoW mp is quite different than most shooters on the Xbox, so the people who like the tps and pace of the game will continue to love it.

On the note, GoW always had team deathmatch and regular deathmatch. I don't play it enough to remember if GoW2's had a shared respawn pool, but there's always been some variant of those basic types.

I'd also like to say I only own GoW for the PC (the first, terrible buggy ported one) and don't own a 360. Though I play it (and 2) enough on my brother-in-law's 360.

Definitely look into fixing the framerate issue before trying to make a second episode, though.

I just watched the vid again to make sure about the Frame loss issue... and it wasnt my Xbox doing that it was my PVR or render settings... I will be doing a 1 Hour Of Gaming episode of this game in a couple days and I hope to fix that issue. Thanks very much for pointing that out though.

Also this isnt my first GoW game... ive played both games but I have played many other shooters as well. Crysis 2 being my fav right now and Halo being my second fav. I do want to make a note im a fan of the gears series for story, but this is the first ive ever touched multiplayer and its like I said. If I took the time the game might grow on me, but since I have other games I need to bang out footage of I cannot dedicate the time.

I still think the game will die though... just because first day of the beta it took me well over 10 min to find a TDM... and about 3 min on average after the first time. I think overall the game is good, but I dont see many switching from what they are use to, to a TPS that isnt as fast pased imo.

Thanks much for the crits, I am looking to here more in the later months!

Now I say this because of many things I state in my video covering this games multiplayer. The multiplayer is just to different and it plays slower compared to other FPS games out right now. Now I know that this games a third person game, but thats besides the point. You got to addapt and make the game faster pased. Personally I think the multiplayer experience is solid... but I see it dieing really fast.

Looking forward to the story though, for more info on the multiplayer check out my video!

I will be doing Final Fantasy 14 next on Level Up!

Aion was always an amazing game but had many carebears. I personally grew up playing EQ and Silkroad, Silkroad Online being my first MMORPG, and this game isnt a grind compared to those two. I personally like grinding, thats what a vast music library/podcasts are for. Hitting 50 wasnt to bad, just played when I got home from college and hit 50 in a months time. Great PVP, Great PVP Rewards, Awesome Instances, and full fledged DX11 ellegance... this game was a remarkable one... and one I still gladly sub to.

Great Re Review... the game deserves it for all the devs hard work.

All MMOs should be B2P. Theres no reason they shouldnt be. WoW has proven they could easily make 30% profit at the end of the year with just box sales of expansions to cover there ass for 2 years. Plus they have Starcraft 2 which I dont see you paying monthly for, and Diablo.

Thanks,

This game ain't so bad.

I bought it for 25 euro or something and put in about 55 hours while enjoying myself decently. That's a worthwhile deal imo.

However, it doesn't have enough content to really make it an MMO that you can keep playing, nor does it have enough persistency to call it an MMO in the first place.

The grind toward level 50 is also just too boring and it makes it so higher level players can dominate others based on time spend and not skill. They should have made this game more of a pure shooter without all the leveling up imo, the gear and stuff could offer enough progression without requiring you to grind XP.

It has enough persistancy... 3d chatrooms are now MMOs. This game atleast has a persistant PVE enviroment plus the city haha. And for all the others up there saying "B2P doesnt mean run out of content.". Yeah they can add another xpac, but GW doesnt have anymore xpacs now. So really the content of that game ended didnt it? Well same goes for a P2P game like WoW. The content eventually ends and u end up doing the same thing over and over and over.

 o...kay. does that make them magically into something we're looking for?

 

we'd rather pay extra for quality than go cheap and get cheap.

GA does have an issue with content, not enough to do, and what there is, is.. extremely repetitive, add in that your more likely to encounter abusive idiots, and you have a recipe for a game that will cause boredom and frustration in equal amounts, with little in the way of fun to offset this.. the game could have been more, but i guess the money wasnt there to really develop it.. have to wonder if it ever will be really.

Its not a bad game. The quality is pretty fine. Maybe its because im use to repetitiveness since ive played WoW for 5 years? idk... but its a pretty good game imo.

I do not hate the game but i understand the hate some poeple have towards it, lacks content, no customer service, repetitive, bad events as an excuse for no updates, customization is meh, AvA is just slightly different Merc match, worst community ever, etc...

QFT, i pre'd the game before it launched and was having a good time until i maxed out all of the classes and had no more content to try. So i went on there forums and found out that since there whole sub fee didnt pay off they would opt to make it a B2P and would support it with contest and flairs. When i asked if they would be comig with solid content ike new pve maps and such and not more flairs a dev simply said and i quote "NO" right after that i uninstalled. The day they stop making a thousand flairs and make real content like pve maps, more areas besides outside of the dome then i will return untill then the game is meh, especially if you maxed out all the 4 classes. Tip if you wanna pwn in pvp arena just pick recon+2 swords+speed boast+circle strafe=win

Its B2P. Its should be treated as that now. Not what it once was. All B2P games run out of content.

To make the game work they should remake Dome and make it open world. Sonoran is just a small step, they should aim for more.

They should definatly expand the game for sure... its a great game but needs a tad more content. But its still a great game considering its B2P.

+1 for the "worth it" crowd.  It is not a game I can play non-stop all day everyday but it's something I can fire up every day or three and hop right into some co-op PvE or some PvP action.  Good times, glad I made the purchase.

Yeah its definatly not a play forever type game and never get old. And we cant treat it like that because its a B2P game. I dont play Bioshock all day, and its sitting right in front of me haha.

First? Ever heard of planetside? Global agenda is just a online lobby with similair gameplay to team fortress.

You havnt played it since Sandstorm have you? -.-

That i agree, B2P is a lovely and fair. The game itself is another story, play it for a few months and you will see what i mean.

What other 15$ game do you play for more than a month? Not many... most games people buy for 60 and only play for a week. Global Agenda shouldnt be treated like a P2P or a F2P mmo... should be treated like a B2P game like any other game.

Originally posted by Tazlor

one of my favorites games.

Same... it never gets old man... and when it does you can always quit for a week and not worry bout 15 a month going down the drain. Love it.

Originally posted by Asamighost

Respect? I can tell you havent been playing for long.

This isnt a P2P game... this isnt even a F2P game with a item mall... its a B2P game for 15$. It deserves respect and I cant wait till B2P games take over the market starting with GW2.

Yeah but i guess they don't Cause They have a Lot of Raid's and instaces but they need some more content as well  but its a wonderful game and they need to advertise it more

Yeah they need to advertise the Open World PVE since it just released and thats why many quit. My friend just started back up off my recommendation and hes lovin it.

 

What open world PVE ?!

Its only until lvl 20 (even most causal player reaches this in couple of days) - and it ends there.

After that the game is just Team Fortress , but with waiting for matches. Nothing else to do.

And when I play, i dont play to wait.

That is the problem

Make PVE last until max lvl, and game will be great. Like this its not

The PVE is still a great thing to add to the game, plus this game has so much content its rediculous. It only takes 5 min max to get into a spec ops with a group... then at level 30 you can SOLO them. Plus theres the PVP... the Raids... the AVA... I dont understand why people say that a 15$ game has no content when theres butt loads of it there.

Thanks

DItto...got it on sale for under £5 i think. Was a mega mega MEGA sale on steam. played it for a couple of days. Found a massive bug when loading into pve areas from main hub station. Repetative, Pve unbalanced, lvling grind takes a long time to lvl, matchmaking for instances sometimes takes over 10-15 mins to find a suiatable team level average (almost impossible when you first start the game)

What? There is no grind in this game... wow... and I wonder why people couldnt handle anything but WoW or Rift. My first MMO was Silkroad... That was a grind... sure as hell not this.

Im really surprised there hasnt been any haters yet.

I don't play anymore (logged over 500 hours) but its a game that was well worth the money and Hi-Rez are one of my favourite developers now. Can't wait for the new Tribes game they are working on.

For sure... Love Hi-Rez now and plus I think they learned something from this experience with Global Agenda and Im sure they will fix launch issues in Tribes. And the other guy up there... yeah I do the same... I rotate it will all other MMOs I play.
