Backlash incoming. Remember how they wanted to do anything but WoW? and before the inevitable "wow copied it from eq!", EQ didn't have 40/25/20/15/10 mans...it was open world and open structured.

just another example though. pick on whoever you want on this site, but big talk is almost always just that, and does not hold up for long.

na most ppl don't read to page 5. Someone will come alone and comment on the first post and that will be that :P

 

but it is funny how gw2 is the new wow for haters. just say it in the thread and off it goes.

it's funnier when each successive "i'm waiting for _____" now rebounder comes out imperfect and then they hop to the next. just like those games coming out from 2006-2008 after WoW.  

DF:UW and PS2 down already.

Just because there're here posting their normal BS like they do in every popular game doesn't mean you wont like it or they'll think ppl are unhappy.

Look at gw2. Most hated on game on the site...also the most popular.

i think you mean world of warcraft.

"on this site" , and he's right.

TESO will have years of post launch development and a fanbase before you even play(demo/beta)CU. plus having more content in general in the form of PVE...if anything CU will be seen a s a side game. smaller scale, smaller budget. even if the RvR is better, you're getting less for the dollar objectively.

PS. DAoC, like all other old MMO's that have dropped in popularty have its fanbase absolutely scattered to the wind by now. TESO will have its own and CU will have its own. there's not much of a battle to be had here. they will either have a widley divergent appeal despite RvR due to one being a pvp only game, and if TESO happens to go F2P by the time CU releases well...not much of a hard choice then is there.. play both.

i had Thorgal in my storyline. while were' on the subject of this, if you had the tybalt story there's an event to avenge him in bloodtide coast.

also there's a DE that you can trigger by rescuing Demmi Beetlestone and having her join the order of whispers. if you happen to be going through a certain pass in Harathi Hinterlands you get jumped by some ministry guards seeking revnge on you.

Also if you chose the Priory and you defeated Steag Frotstbeard, you can be ambushed by a vengeful son of svanir somewhere in dredgehaunt cliffs.

Good catch. Another red flag I'm seeing is no in game screen shots and no gameplay. Yet they're talking about RvR this and that. Kind of like Guild Wars 2 barely showed anything and they were talking about how our game does this while others do this. All this was 1-2 years before release.

they showed raw gameplay of the game in 2010. also it was playable at game conventions in 2010, i first played it at PAX. as for CU, it's 3 years out.

should probably give him a chance. maybe he's learned lessons and perhaps taking people's money to directly fund the game helps. also being free of EA's heavy hand has to cout for something.

although i DO recall Mythic's games and practices before DAOC shipped when they would release games on AOL and not support them and close them down abruptly.

This isn't special treatment GW2 gets, all games get it here some worse than others, SW:TOR was destroyed almost beyond repair on these forums shortly after it's release. TERA got railed on before it even came out, if it wasn't so niche it would have been hit just as hard as SW:TOR.

 

Lucky for GW2 this site was very pro GW2 before GW2s release so it didn't take that much heat and the positive threads still outweigh the negative.

Piv speaks a bit of truth, his inner TERA fan victim complex came out at the end though. 

this website is for the people like that unfortunately, and it's not just this game by a long shot. MOST people here just fall out of every game after a few weeks and bash them to shit. that's the vast majority of the active posters here. no game to play, nothing going on with them 'cept sliding from game to game, pinning hopes on the next thing, than bashing that same game once it's out.

look back through this place going wayyyy back. same thing over and over, no exception. the only game boards that don't have this type of shit are the ones that are basically DOA or close. yea, the only ones here which lack such toxic "discussion" are the ones that lack discussion altogether. 

I just honestly fill F2P is like a company announceing it no longer cares about this product, but they are going to keep it running at minimum cost with a cash shop to see if they cant get a little more out of it.

So many sub games operate this way. replace CS with sub fee. there's literally been 4 sub games that gave you your money's worth in the last half decade. the rest have been jjust as given up on and left running on fumes to collect what they can as any f2p title. and many f2p titles outshine sub games in the value department.

but hey, anything to draw lines in the sand and have forum wars with the "other side" i suppose.

People are too sensitive.  It's always odd to see people take it personal when someone doesn't like a game.  I guess I've yet to find that ultimate game that I would defend to no end (kinda sounds like something Jesse Jackson/Johnny Cochran would have said lol).

 

 

i don't take it personally but i do get annoyed when someone tries to make a thread about an aspect of a game and within the first page you have several posts of the same people bashing the same game for months about the same exact things..

Show me an example. Because I hear this nonsense being preached like gospels by you fans, yet I have only seen one occasion of that happening. Namely, someone bashing a game for months for the same things. 

Or maybe you mean that they post once a month, for several months, about the same thing? In that case, yes you are being too sensitive. I complain about the weather all the time. Should the weather man ban me for doing that too?

haha, someone feels convicted. don't be so obvious.

Criticism here and at other like sites, in its various forms, are a direct result of the repeated over-hyping of mediocre games that fail to deliver a worthwhile experience for the customer. When the writers here at MMORPG.com and other place repeatedly hype these so-so games to the skies what is there to do BUT level criticism? If the games' quality does not reflect the over-blown praise heaped upon them, it is not only natural, but justified that people speak out about them.

according to this forum though, this is literally every single game released. every one besides the ones that never even get much word of mouth or forum activity going are bashed to shit here.

everything that is talked about is bashed endlessly, and this will continue with TESO and everything else coming out in 2013. if it has any fanfare at all(the amount is irrelevant as is the game's quality) it will be hyped pre launch on mmorpg.com, then trashed endlessly and most posters who like it will be baited and trolled and flamed.

in order for this froum not to behave this way the game must flop immediately, and have basically no forum activity to speak of.
