I'm so disappointed by MMORPGs where you can level up within a couple of days/weeks playing casual and the easy rewards (items, money & XP) for doing almost nothing...

need time to learn your skills!

when theres no strategy or skill based gameplay it will be extremely dull to watch.

they need to add real targeting ,1000 new skills and  add hitboxes where to aim,then maybe or make moba like maps.

edit:and if they are thinking about mobas ,theres allready much more interesting games like Super MNC and compared that action,gw2 does not have a chance.

1000 skills? Where do I sign up?

- GW2 is a great game guys, just play it and stop crying

Also

If you knew what was coming this summer, you would start finding good tourney partners right away before the rush begins.

I saw that they are doing a tourney soon with MMORPG...is there something else that I am missing?

You gonna watch it?

Age of Wushu.

WoW was the best theme park. The others have failed. EvE was cool, I didn't like space ships though. Out of no where comes Age of Wushu, where I've been for 6 months.

With the recent layoffs over at Trion Worlds and the not so good performance of Defiance does Trion Worlds have the capacity of manpower and funds now to finish a proper translation of Archeage for the west?

 

I personally think no and another publisher will have to step up (wait thats the title DUH!). The conversion of Rift will likely get some interest from ex-players and people who haven't played before but as the game is really outdated and mediocre (personal view don't shoot me) this interest will be very short lived and the game will sink back to its present situation quite quickly.DEfiance seems to need a lot of work and is not creating any real buzz with the TV crowd.

 

As a fan of Korean and Asian MMO's I'd like to see this conversion done properly and not rushed and with the lackluster performance of Trion Worlds games Rift, Defiance and the shelved End Of Nations this might be the case to try an inject some needed cash into an ailing company. 

 

 

 

 

This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up™ the new high caffiene soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session.

your maybe reading too mch into the layoffs at trion..its inevitable that companies lay off people after release of a game..they always downsize.its too early in defiances release to come to a conclusion if its a failure or not..i suppose time will tell.

You've had to much Chin Up. 

80% (allegedly) across the entire company (allegedly) including executives who will not be receiving severance pay due to  "undelivered services" (allegedly) is not normal.

I've been on these boards awhile now. I've never seen a mmorpg quite like this. 

 

The only negative post you see are about customer service. I think it's the same type of person in every mmorpg who makes those post. The people who get hacked at launch (been there) and the people who put in a ticket several times a week.

 

If you are not one of these people, /Hop on and enjoy the ride. 

I love these posts that blame everyone but the company for poor customer service.  I loved playing this game until I was hacked and Snail USA treated me like crap.  They didn't try to help one bit.  Check my post history and tell me how many other games I've talked bad about on this forum.  How many gaming companies have I talked bad about?  The answer is zero.  When I don't like a game I just move to another.  I don't feel the need to bad mouth games.  When I get screwed by customer service, it's a different story. 

I've played a lot of games for the past 10 years and have never, ever, been hacked.  I was hacked in AoW within the first three weeks of playing.  I checked my computer after this hacking event and I had no virus, no keyloggers, no Trojans, nothing.  That is with two different AV programs.  If you still want to claim it was my fault then I can say nothing to convince you otherwise.

 

It would be a lot more helpful to the game if you die hard fans would own up to the fact that they have a security problem and push them to fix it.  They should at least be taking care of the people who are being hacked due to the game's poor security if they want to keep them as customers.  Right now, they are steadily earning the reputation of being a shady Asian company with no interest in customer service.  It is a potentially great game that is making haters at an alarming rate.

Heey no one is defending the customer service.  Blizzard has A+ customer service all the rest are D.

Remember GW2 10k+ hacked during the first 3 weeks? Go look at the Neverwinter forums, "people getting hacked all over the place." How about WoW, hundreds of thousands over the years hacked. How about the Diablo III fiasco This is not a new thing, or just AoW. 

I have never blamed the victim for being hacked, but it's up to us to protect ourselves until a hacker proof system comes out. 

Unfortunately these things have become all to common at launch. Anet said "other sites were compromised."  Since then for me,  every new game gets a new email and password. 

This should tell you something about incredible amount of content and systems in AoW. These arenas were supposed to be in at launch. Did you hear one person complain? Nope, not one pvpr said a word. 

There is simply too much to do. Even those who have been playing 6 months didn't complain. We were too busy to worry about it. Plus the world pvp is so damn good.

Battlefield Arena: Coming May 22nd!

Update: The next patch will be implementing this exciting feature into the world of Wushu on May 22nd. Keep an eye on the guides and homepage for more info on this exciting new area.

   On April 10^th,Age of Wushu is launching out of their last closed beta. The epic Free to Play MMO will be opening another new feature to the game, theBattlefield/Battle Arena. This is an exciting chance for some simple team based dueling for EXP and more. The PvP arena will be a great place to test your skills in a confined space, and improve your strategies for the more open and deadly world outside the arena.

   There will be two modes that players can select to take part in. The first is the Power Competition, a point based mode that scores teams for the kills that they have made. The other is Death Mode a faster and more intense scenario that is simple, No respawns and No time limit. The last team standing at the end of Death Mode is the victor. 

 Another twist thrown into the Death Mode, are Secret Association Experts. During the battle a random player will be designated as a higher priority target for a team. Killing this player will result in a Buff for the team that kills him or her. Often times a team can focus too much on the SAE buff, that they will be leaving themselves open to attack from their opponents.

 In addition to the two game types, there will be two arena locations to choose from. 12-person teams battle in the Ancient Tomb Sect, while the 24-person battle arena takes place in the Muyun Villa. Both arenas have the two modes mentioned before, but the environment is different adding new areas to leap across or run up and initiate combat. 

The Battlefield will allow players more chances to earn EXP. And with the new Meridian system drawing heavily on Combat to cultivate, players can get more Chi to activate those new skill points and harness more strength from internal skills. Both Meridians and the Battlefield, go live with the Age of Wushu launch on April 10^th.

And who says Trion worlds will put these things in the western version of the game.

Don't like then stick to those boring ass games that you all seem to love ie GW2 as an example.

Fixed it for you.

 

Please don't confuse Korean game with Chinese games by calling them all Asian. AA is Korean, AoW is Chinese.

What are you going on about lol, Korea is in Asia, China is in Asia, right?

 

Who mentioned AOW? Seriously i don't need reminding that AOW comes from China made by SnailGames, i've been playing since November last year lol. I follow Asia mmo's become i'm half French and Thai, what has AOW got to do with AA other than they both come from ASIA.

 

Check my forum name, i know all about SnailGames

I know who you are. Thank you for the info you've given.

What I've learned is that saying "Asian game" lumping all those cultures together is like lumping the U.S. and Brazil together. They are both "American" right? There is a big difference between cultures and what they make.

PS: Defiance is a tremendously bad game, I played beta and could not play past one hour, it is really bad!

Yeah, ty for the quote. I've been looking for a new sig.

When you make an MMO for a tv show that's already been canceled for being terrible you've already got the worst word of mouth you could possibly imagine

Defiance is canceled?  http://tv.yahoo.com/news/syfy-renews-defiance-181100615.html this says you're wrong.  Do you have a link to the contrary?

To hell with the tv show,Trion lied about how that was going work anyway. I bet they were selling the same crap to the board right up to the last minute just like they did us, the ones following since it first appeared on the Trion site. Cancel the game, and sue the con artist lead developers.

After that list I am actually wondering whether I will come to this site again. Why does this person even work for MMORPG? Is it that easy to get a job here? SWTOR, EVE and GW2 are all on this list. I can see GW2 being at the bottom since its been diving lately and for some reason people keep playing it with no endgame content, but are you fuggin kidding me, you had EVE at number 2?????  This list is obviously biased or bought off since you have the fail of a game SWTOR on here. You didn't even put World of Warcraft in the list. I may not like that every MMORPG that comes out now tries to copy WoW but they still have the most subs and one of the only successful Subscription games.

in the west.. gogo Wushu!

I didn't care much for the game, not the least of which is that in the Cash Shop you buy NOTHING. Everything is rented. Want a faster mount, bigger bank, more bag space, appearance costume, be prepared to shell out over and over again every month...

 

As well the localization left something to be desired. Some things were perfectly clear, then you ran into things that were reminiscent of Google translations copied raw. Especially in regards to the training mechanics which were at best as clear as mud. :)  

 

Not my issue as I never tried to use the CS, but a guildie bought some Gold, they charged his account immediately, after 3 weeks of no response from them to his multiple emails the Gold had still never showed up on his account. He has since deleted as well but was wondering the other day if it had ever shown up.

All of that stuff is sold by players and bought in game. Whos's gonna buy a 30 day horse for 9$ and ride it when you can buy it in game for 500 silver lol. People who do buy them with $ sell them to get a better silver return.

Bank space is bought with in game currency and never leaves. Bags are made by players, part of the player driven economy. It's good they ware out. It keeps those who craft them going. Heck you get them for like 5 silver.

Cosmetics are them same bought in game sold by players. True they last 30 days, but who wants to ware the samething forever. Plus you get better stuff for crafting and school politics.
