Yeah the dev team, not the producer of the game which is who monitizes it.  Don't mistake the two.  SoE vs Frogster/Gameforge.

Vindictus Vella Character: Boob Slider, Goodness. xD - nakedness.
Age of Conan: Fully NAKED: Boobies. ;D

ehem*

As an Anime-fan id consider 'Scarlet's Blade' to be the equivalent of the anime 'Queens-Blade', I wouldn't put it in the 'Hentai' Category. Alas- I'm afraid I have to agree, a step too far indeed. I don't mind boob-sliders, and panties~ and some nudity.~ Even in Age of Conan: Full on BREASTNESS.

I have nothing more to say, other than a quote i found on YT.
"I think end game content will involve your entire party's? mech morphing into one giant boob."

Yeah this is adapted from Queen's Blade in the East.  The name is changed for the Western Market.  Not Hentai, it's fanservice with lots of skin, boobs, panty shots, etc...

This game now goes to 11! ...er 100, and I can only imagine what platinum is worth nowdays.  Inflation in that game should force the devs to make a currency coin worth 100 pp...no 1000pp! 

Mithril!

This bothers me.  I thought stacking, to the detriment of many other useful stats, healing power, would make me regen and heal others more effectively, but all of that for 12%?  It's just pointless.  Are other stats similarly ineffective and just a suger pill or what?

+38 is not that much. By 40 you'll have potential pieces of gear with +20 Healing on them each if you want to go that route.  That being said, I don't think they want any super healers in the game, would take away from the dynamic they are going for.

Sounds like something that will hold me over until next week's GW2 launch. Do you need to play the first one in order to properly enjoy this or can I just jump in without getting confused by the references and the lore?

You don't HAVE to, but I would suspect it would make more sense lore wise and to the story as they are sequential.  Death is here, due to the events in part 1 with War, and it's ending.

Reminds me of the scene in the matrix where Neo loads up on weapons before rescuing Morpheus.

D&D, MUDs.

This... EQ of the modern day 3D MMORPGs, but it had huge inspiration from the above...

In TERA, you have to stop in order to do anything like fire a bow or cast a spell. You don't in GW2, hence why I will be playing that and not TERA. Plus I prefer GW2's art style, I don't care much for the Anime type of TERA. 

Regarding GW2's run and gun combat currently, I expect we will see many changes in the coming months that change this to some degree as the melee vs ranged gap is well documented everywhere after this first test weekend.  They have some serious balancing to do and either abilities are going to get nerfed hard, or mechanics are going to get changed, or both at some point.  Will be interesting to see where it ends up.
