No thanks Wildstar.

Whew, You had me worried there. For a moment I thought you were insinuating that Graphics > Gameplay/Content/Fun...

Glad I prefer Gameplay/Content/Fun > Graphics. :)

Did anyone get a invite for this weekend?!

 

 

If they did, they would be under an NDA and could not disclose that.

I used to hate Point & Click until I started playing http://www.pathofexile.com/

So addicting and free. It is kinda like Diablo 3 but much better. :)

I believe they are called wow clones because WoW was so revolutionary, no other mmorpg (Including the ones you mentioned that where released before WoW) have even come close to the magnificent big bang mmo. WoW was a prodigy of its genera and because no other mmo can compete, they are automatically labeled "WoW Clones". 

WoW copied aspects from other MMOs, namely Everquest and improved on it.

Please educate yourself before typing uneducated opinions.

Even thou I do not play WoW anymore, you do realize that WoW was indeed deep and definitely well made hence their success.

The issue now with WoW is creating content that isn't bland and repetitive, but thinking WoW was not "deep" or "well made" tends to make me believe you are being sarcastic at the most.

2 US based entities taking care of other countries before their own. What is the MMO world coming to? ;)

j/k

 I lost interest in Rift due to that restricted content and the anti-social nature of the community there.

Every MMO has what you stated.

Which profession makes bags? :)

Have to have the Bags. lol

72 hours in jail. I killed 30 people and after that i died to 4 other players and went to jail. Now i need to serve 72 game time hours of jail. I literally didnt belive it at first, but its true. SO:

I play 4 hours a day, that means that i will be released from prison in 18 real life days, IF i managed to be online all those 4 hours aday, after that i will be executed and i will have halved stats for 24 hour game time. So i'm back to normal in 26 days if i play 4 hours aday.

Unsubscribed soon as i found out. This is clearly not a game for me, but carebares. I'm not going to pay for a game where i cannot function for 26 days. Also, there is no world pvp, only duels. Sure there are guild wars, but wtf... who gives a fuck about guilds, im not even in one. So there is no pvp for me if im unguilded.

I can say that i really enjoyed the sandbox and graphics, but this game is mucking retarded.

Thanks for reading.

Stop treating the game like a Ganking Buffet. There are other games for you to do that in.

Game is working as intended.

I've been looking all over. I'm probably looking in all the wrong places. :)

We are a desperate group of gamers:

I know, we are all desperate for a really good MMORPG but if we continue to support these crappy games we will never get the industry change.

• Stop buying into these payed BETAS of games promising things they can not deliver.
• Stop making excuses for games with phrases like "A MMORPG is never finished", "They will fix it after release" or "They said they will add [insert promised feature here] after release". When has anything of this ever happened? 
• Stop believing reviews from gaming sites including this one. They live from advertisements and the will not bite the hand that feeds them. Simple fact.
• Don't support want to be MMORPGs like Path of Exile or Defiance. These are not MMORPGs.

Only you can stop this by not supporting the games until they deliver what they promise. Yes, of cause, this genre of games do improve and get better over time but why throw money at them NOW when you have no way to tell if any of the features ever going to be delivered.

 

Why not wait until all the promised features are delivered and then buy it? I know, its crazy how much sense this makes but for some reason we are idiots (i include myself) that throw money at half assed games in the hope "They will fix it after release" because "an MMORPG is never finished" and "They said they will add [insert feature X here]".

 

THIS HAS TO STOP NOW!

Crowdmilking:

This year will be no different than the last 10. The only thing that is changing right now is that every one of them tries to get as much money as they can before the game is actually released. A new trend that is influenced by the Kickstarter crowdfunding movement. I call it "Crowdmilking".

1. Bought BETA and features. Preorder to get BETA, Headstart, in game items like mounts, useless swag like badges, T-shirts or other crap.
2. Combine #1 bought BETAS with an NDA to maximize Profit before people can realize how shitty a game is going to be.
3. All the new games are designed with Microtransaction shops and F2P in mind because developers know they have a sub standard product and that we will reject it like we did the past 10 years.
4. They are starting Crowdfunding for Patches/Updates/Content. This is a very new trend that will ask for donations to make updates to the game or add content. Based on Kickstarter there are funding goals to be met for different features.
5. Maximize initial box sales no matter what. Lie, deceive or outright make shit up to get people to pay box price. This practice has been seen with a game released last holiday season. AOC started it, probably had only 30% of the features they promised at start and the BETA was nothing like the rest of the game. AOC was the ultimate bait and switch scam.

The Revolution has to start now, this year, or we will be stuck with more and more of the same money grabs and boring themeparks for decades to come.

 

 

Those with the most Opinions tend to have the fewest Facts.

PoE is what D3 SHOULD have been. After reading alot of the replies above, it is obvious not many have tried D3 or PoE or they would realize PoE is a MUCH BETTER Game and cost $59.99 less than the crap that's called D3. :)

Nice try thou. Move along.
