i dont xpext launches to be free of bugd and other issues at leaast no such major ones as im getting..soo it might be just me..i have alpha tested afew games and beta'd even more i agree with some here and on the main site this is more of a alpha or early bata than a release

ok my view point,,its feb21st how long now since release? i havent seen an update yet...longed in last night afew being off since that first few days of terrible play..to find no updates  when finally got into game  still same issues..infact chat channels had died off abit already...ill long inin a week or so again but no point to play..off to worldoftanks or rifts..

save money wait for free trial to be added too.

peace "the dustbunny"

looks like ill be sub to rifts instead of this..ill keep and eye on it in case it gets better...free trial would be nice too...

i played rift from alpha  test to the betas and i think that is how testing should go.., i think earthrise has too many issues at this time for a release..i do like its setting and graphics are great..but fps and combat controls are abit to handle the whole movement could use a do over..

just have to wait abit see how it improves

also a happy member since beta...small issues sure..but it beats the dumbing down of alot of other games to make it easier for you ...every game is personal to those that sub to it..some will like it  some wont... and they are still doing things ..i thnk its a tougher job to tweak systems and try to put a new take on thngs than just rehash things  like  world of warcraft and others.

this is a world where the enviroment should change alot..towns come and go..bits of true government try to rebuild and fail or not..and the crafting is one of the things i love..not like wow were but craft and have it in  30 secs..this takes time and true resource gathering and few if any resources are in areas that anyone can get to..other games lock stuff in instances and really high zones   anyway im babbling..

i feel its just a fact some will like others wont...try it and if not liking move on.

love  and peace

i stopped playing wow due to everything focusing on raiding but thats me....hopefully they will add something that players really can influence maybe shifting lines of conflict..of bettter yet some world fantasy or sci-fi thats was been ravaged by war and players need to rebuild while holding back the opposing foruces...

   istaria had alot of rebuilding in it.. some villages were completely destroyed but if players rebuilt them then npcs moved in and a new city/outpost grew graphics abit dated though and gear just didnt fit right...and by rebuilding i mean something like ..this bridge takes 3000 oak boards 500 steel girder etc and craftemen harvest mats to make more finished products while trying to fight off monsters or what have you..i know its seems more of a crafter game im sure blizzard can tie in alot of other options.

maybe a nice zombie game..

anyway ill watch for it but i dont xpect much of a true difference fro blizzard they ruined wow by dumbing it down..maybe a revamp of tabula .. or a cartoonish game called seed which was all player driven.

oh well enough ranting

i enjoy travel from one sector to another on my dune buggy or cycle...allows me to harvest things and note nodes along the way...this may reduce the need for those who produce vehicle parts or the fuel for them....if they do it ok then i might resub...someone mentioned vistas shouldnt use tech because they are natural..they everyone to it with care...and greener...they oppose those things that destroy nature outright tech or faction..i think thats how they are anyway..

peace.

"a papercut is a trees last act of revenge"

been watchin awhile now ..regardless of how it looks here and there ill give it a try. would be nice if they had storyline world missions/quests that opened more areas that slowly took us away from the grand canyon...also if the ruins and things could be repair or rebuilt as istaria did...such as this biulding needs 100or what ever boards and one would have to cut trees and make boeards to donate to structure to rebuild it and anyone in game could add to its list of need repairs ..

also heard weather was going to influence us in some way but that info is old and i have not heard anything more on it... a good to fair sci fi game would be nice as oppose to another sword and sorcery game...

how about a good zombie game?....lol

anyway be kind

well been trying to download and unzip this for almost a week now...just is not worth it anymore...

if they can solve these issues to let potential clients play i wonder what the game is like now or if anything has been even fixed since open beta..

tried bit torrent which gave me corrupt files..and gamershell.com  both give me the same thing unable to unzip folders...now my desktop is going into active recovery of desktop mode when i shut down these unresponsive programs with the task manager...

i like it when it was open beta but just too much of a hassle to gt in now..i can download other games without any problems seems this is the only one..even ran the download through firefox as suggested by gamershell.

maybe keep same restrictions as to flag  unflag..but have the zones become less restricted as you move away from the newbie/main cities..

so raids against those areas will still flag you if you attack those areas once you move into the world and into greater wilderness the areas become more of a free for all..

a better reward sys is needed so there is abit of risk..even though im not a heavy pvp i enjoy it every  now and then  and the promise that i can get whacked at any moment would keep me abit for engaged into the game

maybe some kind of territory gain /loss as horde pushes into alliance or vice verse, lose of outposts towns quests etc.

if there going to change the lvl for mounts they could at least lower the costs too...

also if those locks and palis get/have their mounts at 30 and the rest of us at 40  does that mean they can use them in the battlegrounds in the 30-40 range and no one else can.?

they should just have mounts and other goodies available either from the get go of the game or at the turning point where quests require greater travel and or lvling becomes abit more of a task...

druid travel form should be more in line with speed of a mount not 10 to 20 % below...i wouldnt get a mount if my travel form was equal to it...well maybe cuz mounts are cute.

yes it has abunch of troubles and well we each must make our choices...i am currecntly in that game..

log in has gotton easier but still alot of client crashes....npc's are up and about...still little sounds and story content still seems limited...with limited tools to repair stuf the players are making the needed tools and gear as it was meant to be...the in game community is gathering togather to build what is needed to start creating there story of the tower...

it has slowly got better..but is still along way to go..since they offered a 2 months for 15$ deal ..i know paying to play a unfinished game..and it was rushed do to cash flow problems..still ill stick for next 2 months to see what happens then decide to re up or not...

you should choose by what you like...auto assault is fairly new so you can get in on all the goodies so to speak....saga of rysom is nice to i visited it and they had some good ideas going...check there websites and view the games...and see how they are...if any have free trial downloads try it that way before buying retail..anarchy online is free for the basic game i think..you just pay for expansions or something else i forget..

shadow bane is ka-put and going off line from what i heard.....

horizons was intersting as you could rebuild npc destroyed cities and bridges and stuff....but other things were tired...but you should just go to the sites and look at the games themselves.
