I would love anything that is not a copy of WoW.

Vampire MMO

Napolionic era war mmo

Always make the group your self so you can set the loot options. The AION community is one of the worst I have ever seen in any game and every group I have been in you see mages rolling for plate armor and templars rolling for cloth armor even after asked not to so it is a usual thing for AION and I do not see it changing.

Half of the players are gold farmers anyway and just roll for the stuff so they can sell it for more gold to sell. The game is an unplayable garbage bag anyway, might as well move on to something else and forget about it.

WWII ONLINE tops them all. We do not need rehashed remakes of failed fantasy crap MMOs.

PS: Also, people need to lay off the 56k modems. This game deserves no rumor of being a laggy game in any way. Its the most UN-laggy game I've played to date. It's a monster in performance. It has crashed a total of 4 times to me though which I think is not much of a deal at all.

You obviously didn't read my post. Like i said I have a cable connection and a down load speed of 30mbps most of the time but at it crappiest I get 20mbps. So unless your talking about your own 56k modem your full of it.

I love how my simple not very troll like post has been flammed as if it were a condemnation of the game. All I said was the PvP is your basic button mash laggy mass PvP we see in every MMO. Prove me wrong, don't just condemn my words and call me a troll maybe post a video of lag free awsume mass pvp?

Lol well we got our first dose of "massive" PvP today. It was VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY similar to warhammer in the sense that there was a keep, a door to bash down and a keep lord to kill. Oh also a huge laggy ass zerge of players from both sides.

The PvP appears to be your basic wow/warhammer/conan button mash PvP. Sure some skills are better than others but your basically just using what ever is refreshed at the time so no real choices going on (this is different in 1v1 PvP but that is more rare than a bigfoot movie that isn't actually a guy in a ape suit).

If it wasn't for the lag it might I say might be fun but the lag really prevents any real cohesion from being used. Oh I almost forgot, the game client crashed for all of us NUMEROUS times during this "battle". For me personally it crashed 4 times. After the 4th time I didn't bother logging back in and went to watch TV. And before you say it my comp rocks and I have a cable connection that gives me over 30mbps download speed, so if I wanted I could down load your momma from your living room, suck her ass right into your comp.

There are SOME fun aspects to the PvP like the winged combat and we had a BALL kicking the snot out of some guild called [name withheld to protect the innocent] the other night in the arena. They were 5-6 on 1'ing noobs that were trying to turn in a quest that makes you go into the arena. So we went with a full group of lords and schooled their whole group 5-6 times in a row. We killed them many many times and only lost our cleric one time total.

Chasing people down and having a fight in the air is very fun all the while watching your flight meter as you don't want to run out of flight time.

As far as the "siege" warfare goes though it fails just as hard as any other MMO ever did. To bad really, I was hoping that it would get better as games were released but it seems that game companies are steadfastly determined to make the same mistakes over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...Fuck I figured even a blind squirrel would have gotten a nut by now. As for the Aion the blind squirrel, he shall starve and wind up in the blind squirrel grave yard (like the elephant grave yard just not as cool) as the rest of the MMO/blind squirrels.

Either your facts are off or your lying. Grouped exp is NOT better than solo. Aion penalizes you for grouping just like any other game but worse. Let say your getting 10k exp for killing a mob solo. Then you group with one friend, you might think you would receive 5k exp right? Wrong you get like 4200. So not only to they divide the exp among the group they reduce it before they do so.

So no Group exp is NOT "better" like you say.

10 hours a day minimum to get to 25 in about 12 days or so.

To get to max level for a casual player could take upwards of 7-12 months easy.

A Major IP starting off F2P? It seems like a bad sign to me. GW is an exception. F2P does not imply quality to me.

They are going on the Free realms model. They have over 2 million subs for that game. Which is about 1,900,000 more subs than Champions.

I just canceled my order. If they are not ready for open beta they certainly will not be ready for live.

They were obviously not prepared for this open beta launch. When will devs learn? Or care enough to learn?

I would like to see this happen Mad.

The first response post is retarded. We know nearly nothing about BP and from what I have read it certainly will not be care bear crap.

JGE is the carebear game! Zero death penalty, consensual only PvP even in PvP zones. No ship loss, no cargo loss, no equipment loss, NOTHING. Just a free ride to the nearest space station.

It will NOT have twitch controls, if you watch the GDC video of the girl flying in the game using mouse and keyboard you can plainly see that the game nearly flies the ship FOR you. I could train a monkey to fly in JGE after cutting off his thumbs.

As for PvE, no raids, no end game content announced and as for the economy. It will always be dead because nobody ever loses anything so the only thing people will have to buy is stuff to upgrade when they level. How long will that last?

Soft grouping has also been announced. Which is a gold farmers dream. Soft grouping means that nobody ever has to take the time to even form a group, just fly up on someone who is doing the mission you have, shoot ONE time then sit back and relax while they do all the work and you benefit. Talk about catering to lazy ass carebears jeesh.

This game will be nothing more than WoW in space that will fail as epic as Auto Assault (Net Devils big claim to fame)

I'm not seeing how this is broken other than merely being just opinion. I'm not saying you're right or wrong here but I'm not seeing eye-to-eye on that one.

 

Maybe you Funcom guys should listen to us customers more?  You should take all critizism seriously, no matter how strange that critizism sounds to you.

[Mod Edit]

 

I think there is a hidden point to my response as we are here in an unofficial forum reading and commenting on your feedback. Course, I'm not too sure how you got 'not listening' out of clearly listening and providing additional feedback in the form of a comment that's not exactly seeing eye-to-eye with you on something being broken. Part of being community and providing response is that we can keep it real with you without throwing up those robot responses like "thank you for your feedback!" while nothing is discussed or done.

Moving back on the topic. I think it's important that you let others know that sometimes we don't see eye-to-eye on things being broken because it does refer to being bugged. The best example I give is that if we were an auto-mechanic and you brought your car in to be fix and after a investigation of your car we noticed it was not broke. Thus we have to ensure we let you know that we see nothing broke with the engine but we understand you might like it to have 300 more HP.

That being said, many concerns mentioned will I think be reduced when Update 5 comes out because we are tweaking a lot of things with casters and melee in combat. We are also looking at the siege system overall with the defense (stuck in inner-wall) and other mechanics that play into it that were not mentioend here. As for set class builds, again I think that will change up after the update and you will see more playability in more classes and or roles.

Cheers!

Heres an idea. Famine go back to your commy boards, isn't there someone there you havn't banned yet? You better get right on that.

Also is the only reason your here is because there is no body left on the official boards?

Well I'm not for or against pvp.  I loved it in UO... I liked daoc for years.

However, when someone stamps their foot and says "if the company won't give me what I want I'll go grief people.."

Well then somebody needs a timeout.

I suppose the best outcome will be that you will be quickly banned.  Then if you wish to continue being a moron you can buy a new box and help out the company financially as they continue to ban you.

I'm not against the pvp server you wish to have.

I am ENTIRELY AGAINST this kind of stupidity to try and get there.

If they don't want to support you... then they have a reason.. whether you agree with it or not.

You can choose to try and get enough support for the devs to support your wishes and/or you can choose not to buy the product.  What you are proposing to do is exactly what most people think pvp players are... and exactly the type of behaviour they would expect.

 

*edited to add*

I don't really care if you played the original.

I played SWG... I didn't go in game and grief people becaue the CU and/or NGE happened.

That is just stupid.

LOL how could or would they ban us? Its not like we can break the rules by playing the game as intended. We will just be targeting none PvP players, casuals, soloers and guilds and purposely undercut their prices in the market. We will also target them purposely and aggressively as game mechanics allow in open space.

Maybe after enough care bears cry to Net Devil they will make a PvP server and rule set to go with it. Perhaps they will see enough people like you cry BEFORE the game releases and make a PvP server from day one which is what we all expected and have been shafted on.

Who is stamping their feet now?

Actually all we want is a PvP server and like I said if they are not smart enough to give us one we will take it.

It is people like the responders to this thread who basically paint all PvP players as "griefers" that are in the wrong. Why wouldn't you want us to have a PvP server? How does it affect you in anyway?

Like I said if net devil will not give it we will take it, the game was supposed to be a PVP game from  the start but Net Devil has listened to the WoW crowd. The crowd who will abandon the game and return to WoW after the first 30 days. Those that cried and preached for it to be a care bear game will just have to deal with us pissing in their cornflakes on the most populated server as we wreak havok in with the economy and poach their mines and mobs.

And how dare you tell me to go play EvE? I ca just as easily tell you to go back to WoW or maybe YOU should wait for Star Trek Online to come out as it too will be a care bears dream space game. You are also forgetting the Jumpgate Classic players on whoms dime this game was made. They thought they would get an upgraded version of their current game. Nope they have been told to go scratch.

Ever think there are some people out that want a PvE Space MMO, with the option to PvP if they want too?

I prefer PvP Servers myself, just saying that PvE folks may what a Space MMO too.

I really don't like the route they are going, based off the GDC09 video linked Caligulug on page 24.

I really don't why they don't do 2 server types. PVP and PvE with opt in PvP.
 

 

 

 

Let the PvE crowd wait for Star Trek Online.

Well if Net Devil isn't smart enough to know their own player base we will have to take matters into our own hands. I call upon all PvP players whom wish to have a JGE PvP server to come forth and be recognized.

The proposal: We bid our time and basically take over the most populated server when the game releases and declare it the unofficial PvP server. We shall blockade any road we can, we shall take over any part of space we can, we shall rule the "instances", we shall rule the market as well. We shall undercut every single price on the auctions that we know are placed there by solo/casual miners that refuse to PvP. In an organized and efficient manor.

How will we know who is who and whos prices to under cut? Simple those who have not signed up in the forum linked below and those who do not take part in our rule set for the server.

What are the rules you may ask. Every single person on the server flags for PvP from day one. We comply with a faction specific kill rule (if this isn't all ready in effect via the game rules) that we only kill those of another race. If you are Octavius and know of an Octavius player not conforming to the rules of the server you are to tell one of the other races so that they may deal with the person. There will need to be a certain amount of cooperation between the races as the basic goal is to run off the PvE players not each other.

The goal will be to rid the server of anti PvP players. We will do every thing in our power to make the game play as difficult as possible for them. When successful on the first server perhaps if Net Devil has yet to open their eyes we will move onto another server and do the same thing. Wash and repeat until all servers have been purged of WoW kiddies and solo/casual anti PvP players whom have basically been catered to by Net Devil while we (The PvP players) have been left to twist in the wind.

ALL PvP orientated guilds please go and sign up here gamesnafu.com/smf/index.php Let us coordinate this there away from the care bear stare, less they interrupt our discussions with buckets of tears.

It will only take a small number of us to actually accomplish this goal, roughly 700-1000 players should do. I wish it didn't come to this, I wish Net Devil would just give us a PvP server but they don't want to listen perhaps if we forcibly take over a few of their servers and drive off those whom they have chosen to cater too they will wish they listened. Think of it as joining a union......that kills people who do not join it.

To take part simply type /signed in this thread and go the the forum link provided and sign your guild up for the take over.

Note to Net Devil, you can call this off any time by adding a PvP server.

Because every body keeps trying to BE WoW instead of making their own game. Hell look at Jump Gate Evolution. That game went from being every PvP players dream game to being WoW in space.

If people want to play a game "like" WoW they will just go play IT. I suppose it will take devs about another 10 years to realize this though and the MMOG craze will be long dead by then.

With recent developments and also the released decisions of ND that were made obvious on the GDC video I would like to purpose some race name changes.

Octavius will now be called, The Fluffy Flower Pickers.

Quantars will now be called, The Sweater Knitters Coalition.

Solarain will now be called, The Pencil Pushing Nancies

I think these race names are far more appropriate for this style of game.

If you have any suggestions for better names feel free to add your own.
