[Column] General: If Guild Wars 2 Changed Everything, What’s Next?
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 9/27/12 11:50:05 AM
Originally posted by Xzen The problem with this example is that to "evolve" the car into "something else", and by reference the MMORPG, is that key elements are missing to do so. First we need a half-decent safe anti-gravity solution to make "flying cars". By direct reference, we need better engines that allow for more in-depth mechanics to evolve the genre. However, all anyone keeps doing is re-inventing the MMO engine by simply "remaking" their own version of the basic MMO.
This, I believe, is the REAL issue. They need to create engines that are built for a specific mindset rather than building an engine for a specific GAME. |

Originally posted by 13lake The forums they have for beta participants shouldn't be open to the public to read?
I don't see how the Beta forums are public considering I can't see them not logged in going here. |

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thought of something else with a title like that. Funny though :3

PM'ed a moderator on World of Warplanes forum, NDA is still in effect. You're allowed to say you're in Beta due to the key handouts, but no mention of in-game stuff!
Keep it clean :3 |

Originally posted by GrayGhost79 Actually I forgot which version I had gotten since I used an amazon gift-card. The $60 and $80 version really is no different other than some meaningless in-game fluff. So it was worth $60 to me. Does that really scream agenda O_o? Also, the fact he went SO far off into left field considering I don't consider WoW players & GW2 players to be of the same mindset. So No, MoP never was a consideration ever for me personally. |

Originally posted by Sylvarii 1) True 2) Careful saying they "tricked" anyone, you'll might be called the T word. 3) True 4) True 5) They weren't Dynamic, they were scripted chain events. 6) Wasn't really RvR, more like a bastardized version.
Conclusion: I disagree, I'm not seeing the massive move by the market towards the GW2 structure. |

Originally posted by Loktofeit Sure I can understand the idea behind it, but the very fact it was taken that way without any mention in that direction is rather a sign of how bad these forums really have gotten. :( |

Why does Mr.Kern keep coming off as if he's trying to brown nose with ArenaNet? I've not seen a single shred of evidence pointing to any of his wild claims with regard to GW2?
Is it just me :/? |

Originally posted by Loktofeit The "a racist?" remark was over the top on purpose, and to get your attention to what your posting. Probably wasn't needed, and I appologize.
However, your reply to check my post history for my "motives" directly relates to me somehow being a troll. That's the only way that could have been taken. How else did you expect me to respond to something like that :/? What did you mean then, because it isn't obvious whatsoever. |

Originally posted by eggy08 Again, re-read my OP. I'm not saying they're changing the numbers to any drastic extent at the moment. However, I'm pointing out that people are using these load indicators purely for argumentative purposes which is an ignorant thing to do. Several people in this thread have already understood that without insulting others.
Also, a company is a company no matter how you cut it. You can't pretend to understand ArenaNet simply because their PR people say that they're a kind & loving company. Producers, and the "Suits" of a company, do things often the developers are in direct protest to.
Are the developers good people? Most certainly the best i've seen, but a company still makes decisions regardless of how they feel, and they're the ones you're seeing in most of these videos.

Someone who actually read my OP :D! Ok, i take that back, there are quite a few who understood what I was saying. I think I'm only reading the troll posts and getting depressed though :( |

Originally posted by Drakynn Again, where did I say GW2 is dieing? Where did I say GW2 is going to be "dead" within 6months? Have I ever once in this thread claimed some sort of horrible negativity towards GW2 directly?
NO
That is my issue, I'm being attacked for something so minimal it might as well be considered reverse trolling.
You don't see anything wrong with how you, or others, are handling this thread? I do, because it's showing me that you can never say ANYTHING whatsoever unless it is prefaced with "I love this game, don't get me wrong" or something super positive. |

Originally posted by Loktofeit Why would I be ashamed of my post history? I've been very vocal against people creating exaggerated hype for mechanics & features that don't exist or do not exist in the manner presented.
I've also been very outspoken with regards to SWTOR & Diablo 3. I've also been appologized to & thanked many times in the past couple months with regards to speaking out prior to the prior aforementioned products only to be flamed and then again appologized to as people got "caught up" in the over-hypedness of Diablo 3.
Similarly, when I see people claiming that GW2 is still doing amazingly well weeks after launch by DIRECTLY citing the server population indicators given by ArenaNet without any real connection to an actual # for their thresholds I make a thread reminding people not to make such an ignorant mistake.
Please tell me what my "Motives" are based on my post history? I've never once "trolled" or "hated" on any game in particular, and all I've tried to do is bring sanity back into threads that are akin to "GW2 = best game EVER", or "SWTOR = best game EVER", etc etc. If my opinions have ever come off as me claiming 100% facts that has never been my intention.
I'm more concerned with your motives than anyone elses however.
You claim my "Post History" should be something to be scrutinized over like I'm some sort of racist or troll. YET, i've never ONCE made a thread or post such as "SWTOR = Worst game ever", "Diablo 3 = a piece of horse crap", or "People whom play GW2 are stupid", yet you bite, scream, and insult as if I have?
Is criticism so horribly disliked? |

That's not what i'm saying at all. Load indicators DO change based on people online at the time, hence them being load indicators. What i'm saying is that the threshold for them to be "low, medium, high" can be adjusted to misrepresnt the population. Companies do it all the time, and i'm not saying that it is happening to an extent that is measurable yet.
However, I'm just reminding people that using them in a pure argumentative situation is a fallacy. |

The time to bring back Sandboxes IS NOW!

Originally posted by WhiteLantern The problem is WHO to support. The company doing Darkfall 2.0 is a very VERY mismanaged one, and low budget at that. I wouldn't want to invest into Darkfall 2 even if I had a couple million to throw around.
That's coming from an avid Sandbox fan :).
Also, why do you enjoy playing someone else's hand-written story (Linear Themeparks)? Is it that you're using it as an alternative form of a Book/Movie? :o |
