I would be happy with just stability and well realized feature set, of course innovation is nice but better have features that work than a lot of weird stuff that doesn't click..

DX11? Wake up guys and name one DX11 title.

Oh right, there is one DX11 title and there will not be much until Nvidia decides to make a card supporting it.

ATI drivers are horrible, always have been always will be because of how they do the driver development without proper QA.

Aion definitely, pretty package containing idiotic pve game trying to look like a cool pvp game, truly horrific experience.

Champions online for me was fun experience, not very long but fun.

Still playing WAR as it's absolutely the only proper pvp/rvr game without full loot.

How much WRONG information you can fit in a thread? Sheesh.

I won't even bother to start correcting people...

Sorry, but they fixed the engine few patches ago, stop referring to half year old info, k thanks!

And no one can run AoC in full detail in large scale pvp, in WAR you can now, and about ugly - it depends if you want anime or gritty "realism", they added HDR and bloom last patch also if you are into that.

Based on what I am reading here, you all are talking about problems of the past, been playing for a month now have a level 40 WP on Gorfang and I see none of the problems most of you mention here I would supposedly run into at Endgame(T4) aside from the main problem I run into and that's the Destro HUGE zerg which sometimes makes you feel frustrated as you feel there's just too many of them but if you look at the videos and lore that's how it is supposed to feel as Order is supposed to be figthing desperatly for survival, so I think you all need to try the game again before trowing these supposed "problems" around because there's been a lot of fixes and changes to the game.

 

Oh and let me tell you most games feel as if they have limited "End Game" once you reach that magical goal, I have played many MMO's AoC, WoW,Eve. Everquest etc.. etc... and once you simply get tired of the game you blame it on the game having "no endgame" when in fact it is just a mental problem with you wanting to see and experience new things NOW so you simply switch to a new game without waiting for new content, as the saying goes "Nothing Lasts Forever, Not Even Love." it is the way of life.

Very nicely put! Let's sticky this one :)

Wow, that beats already the content and mechanics of Aion times 10 !

Ships, avatar adventures, a faction that only advance through PvP, many different ship designs you can work on and fight with and progress in all of these things.

First time I am really interested in a new MMO since War (and Cryptic simply can NOT Fxxck this up more than Mythic did with War).

So I wait and see and play this one. I am glad I'll have at least 3 months before Cataclysm recreates Azeroth.

That sums up my feelings as well.

People want new things; when they get new features they don't see the big picture and whine about it.

People get all the same things from all the previous mmos; they worship the new god (Aion).

How the end result plays in the setup is all that matters, if it works it works - if it doesn't it does not (Aion).

The gamebreaker for me was being in a warband and all 22 of us being killed by one BW and 3 healers that 7 second stun was a killer ontop of all the AE, we was bottle necked on the bridge and he just ran in ae stun killed the majority us on the bridge then with 5 tanks on him killed the two healers that was alive then us tanks next.  I was on a healer and so was another caster but everyone was dead in less than 10 seconds.

My poor Black Guard , advertised as dmg dealing tank..... he was great until T4 and seeing a Ironbreaker on the battlefield meant i should make sure i have assistance. Black Guards need something similar to Oathfriend its just unfair that BG mirror class can buff, take dmg, and deal dmg, better than all other tanks in the game. So what happened to the BG.

1. The BW stun morale is gone.

2. BG have "Oathfriend" now.

They are constantly fixing and in a good direction and drive now.

Most that hit T4 think they can be competitive right away at level 31, sorry but you have to get to RR45 and have some proper gear on you, if you can't beat someone going straight at their face - boohoo, change tactics and spec might just be the thing you need - learn your class.

They have balanced a lot of classes and abilities after you quit, including the CC abilities. DOK is the most powerful melee healer in the game, played right and with skill but for cookie cutters: group up with sorc and choppa and another DoK.

No endgame content, pve is horrible,scenarios become repetitive too fast and it runs on a craptastic rendered game engine they had since Moses parted the Red Sea. Thats only a few things I mentioned.

Engine is great now, your info is quite outdated. Pve is okay now, not at WoW level but this is not point of the game.

Endgame is pvp and at least there is a large scale PVP endgame which almost none of the mmos don't have, Darkfall excluded naturally..

Sad thing is what Chach said is still mostly true and they have admitted that they put too much PvE in the endgame king encounted, they have been saying now for a while that they will make it RvR encounter instead, but until that happens there is some PvE encounters in the end of the endgame.

8 months you say? Well disable(s) are mostly gone now and there is immunity timers and such - quite the different game now at patch 1.3.3, while LOTD is mostly about pve you can still invade enemy instances and force them to fight; best part being that you get same rewards for killing them as the pvers do for killing the bosses.

Game is what you make it to be for you and at the moment there is no other pvp game around, yeah Aion failed with big F.

If you play on the US servers, suggest you give the game a fair chance. www.warhammeronline.com/call_to_arms/re-enlist.php

Never had that happen to me, suggest you fix you installation by pressing X check all files on the login screen or something like that.

Glitches happen ;)

Probably they wanted to tell you that you get some freebies if you re-sub;

If you've played other MMOs, you'd know that the trial is usually very polished and fun *cough* Conan *cough*. Then you get to endgame. Wait, endgame. There is none!

I guess you played WAR and AoC then.

I still prefer WAR and AoC to WoW endgame as theirs is mostly PVP focused instead of boring raiding.

/facepalm

Learn to play the game first and then come back, it is balanced you just need to know not to hit the healer that has guard and 2 other healers spam healing him.

Also, you're not in WoW anymore.

Thread full of win :D

As long as you don't need to do Pve to be competitive in pvp it's all good.

Man, I really hated WoW for that.

Thanks!

Just make an account, no key is needed for the trial.

 Forced questing?

does that count?

That hit the nail, definitely the one singular thing that I have always hated about MMOs - the feeling of freedom without actual freedom.

One of things to love about WAR, no need for stupid PVE progression.

• Game engine performance is great now.
• Class balance is much better than it was.
• Auto-roll system.
• Tokens which you get from players and you can use to buy rvr sets.
• Play for fun and you will be fine.

Hope that helps. The expansion was squashed as a false rumor.

They're working to remove the pve elements from city/king fights thankfully as no one in their sane minds wants to fight static mobs ;)

Can't wait for them to show us what 1.3.3 will contain.

Until that I'll join city fights to gank pvers with my WH ;P
