[Column] WildStar: The Empowered Community
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/28/12 12:44:19 PM
So there is a hate out on NCsoft, and as such some won't give the game a chance..
I didn't see that when GW2 hype was building.. Sad times we live in. |

[Column] Star Wars: The Old Republic: SWTOR Anniversary Edition
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/27/12 5:34:50 PM
Wish Bioware was independent again.. Ea and there cash quick attitude is bad.. Just be wary of any mmo that's being released that has Ea as the publisher..
This game could have really blown the gate open with the f2p, but that was also rushed like the launch of the game |

Pvp in diablo is a bad idea.. Yes I get fans want it but you know at the end its gonna cause more drama..
Blizzard stated it will never be balance but fans will not accept that, the competitive nature in us is gonna boil over and still ask them to balance it around my "build" not sucking and etc etc class being overpower.. But then again there is the argument of you don't have to do it.. |

Ea at work again... In the mass effect universe, content update this small is a dlc, in swtor case it's charging?
As someone said earlier, this should be free for subs, but I guess that's why i don't run a business because I don't know anything about customer care etc.. Go ahead Ea milk all you can, and you wonder why your stocks are slowly tanking.. |

@Ozimandeus
Aside from its querky issues.. GW 2 and MOP did over shadow the TSW. on top of that, they didn't follow the trend and have a hybrid payment plan... Also there is the tendency in the mmo space where fantasy beats all others, with sci-fi getting a boost recently, so TSW always was going to have it cut out for them. Funcom, can take some positive out of this as TSW is there best effort yet.. Also others here have been stressing innovation, but too much innovation and you move away from the norm and you risk alienating yourself to death.. I think art style, originality and presentation is what will continue to drive mmo, but even that have risk.. |

General: THQ Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/19/12 5:35:13 PM
Does anyone else see the tactic?
File for bankruptcy (which doesn't affect there overseas studios, so any game they had in the pipeline can be moved to those studios..), a firm comes in and buys there asset. Next up is major restructuring and getting back there asset.. GM did it also to kill off there outstanding debt they had (not the government bailout cash)... |

The game is fun, but as with every mmo it needs time to grow, as was back in the day.. How it grows that's another issue.. |

I guess the price is worth it.. But that what we get when staff members get cut, a mini expac.. But could this be a shift in practice, and we get a mini expac every year..
Someone said pod-racing in a earlier post.. Was that around back then, I have no clue but I guess they could make something up.. |

[Column] General: Who Will Make The Epic Fantasy Game?
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/16/12 1:42:01 PM
@ coretex666
I don't think blizz would be crazy to make another theme park fantasy game. They risk killing there own stuff.. What I think though is that because wow has become so accessible, if there next mmo isn't half as such they'll have it rough regardless of selling a lot.. Person might fail to realize, but most that are playing a mmo nowadays wants almost a finish product feel... Person hardly want to stick around long enough to grow with the game, regardless of how quick one gets to max level.. |

Someone said it earlier..if they can provide a incentive to keep shooting stuff then guess I'll try it..
Heck I play CoD straight until last prestige, so a little incentive I guess would go a good way for me.. |

[Column] General: Who Will Make The Epic Fantasy Game?
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/15/12 9:45:21 AM
Its one thing to make the next fantasy game but will it be sucessful, and sustainable by not a large population..
Almost all mmo making now have a grand budget that low population can't keep them open... then there is the other risk, theme park, sandbox or a hybrid style, but going by numbers theme park seems to provide the highest return in short and long term.. sandbox might just be the next big thing, or a hybrid BUT what level of the market are you looking to capture... I don't mind trying to aim high with projections on what your trying to accomplish, but they all can't have a large market share and for heck stop trying to beat Wow numbers or having numbers like them.. On that note, the next good fantasy game is wild star, just feel it.. It isn't trying to be grand in numbers but the style is more accepting to a larger audience.. |

I'll say it again, blame Ea they have the final say in all of this..
Eg; Bioware : let's make this game free do it can increase player base. EA: What will you charge the f2p players? Bioware; charge for vanity stuff, etc.. EA: No, there has to be other stuff you charge for so they will feel bombarded with need the to sub.. Bioware: Huh, well I don't think the other choices are cool.. EA: do it if its not cool.. If they want cool let them sub.. I can see Ea point to an extent.. They want the money they paid for the license and some, BUT at some point you have to see your hampering the game that is suppose to bring in the cash.. |

@ marz.at.play
Maybe i'm wrong but I think Tera is free in Korea, its just the Na and Eu players they are milking to recoup dev cost.. But for me Tera is good, one of the better Korean mmo i've played in years.. [mod edit] |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Bioware - 'We're Listening'
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 12/05/12 4:06:35 PM
WHY does anyone in there right mind think Bioware will do what they need or say..
EA call the shots not Bioware.. Ea has the final say and as such Ea will milk this game for all its worth. Unlike Arena net they can pack its bag and move to a different publisher.. Bioware can't and as such has to listen to Ea final wording.. After all it wasn't Bioware who paid for the Star wars license.. |

@ hfztt
But it isn't based off the old rule set, so that why i'm guessing they went the over top animations, big numbers etc.. Funny, blizzard once stated seeing big numbers in combat has a psychological effect on person letting them think they are Very strong or doing alot of damage.. Personally i'm looking forward to this more than eso.. Foundry alone is worth it, plus can't beat f2p option (as i'm sure they'll have a life time sub choice)... |
