Far to late, far to little no saving this mess. its rotten to its core both in company and in development terms.

add to that the auctionhouse thing with d3. that'll affect their sales more than they think. i feel if they dumped their ah, let you play it as what it is (a singleplayer game offlline) and they'd sell more.

i know i would've bought it.

not in the condition it's in, though. i'd rather get torchlight2.

torchilight2? You kidding right.

guess its a matter of taste.. but torchilight is not on the same league as Diablo series. Torchlight is more in line with cheap console flashy colourfull low budget action rpgs.

About the auction house. I think that auction house will bring a lot of players to D3 and if they implement it with the possiblity to make transactions with real life cash together with in game cash.. even more players will join D3.

pfft to your opinion of torchlight's graphics.

i like them a lot. if you can't see the similarities between it and d2, then you're blind. and i'm sorry if that's true, because it must make gaming difficult. unless you're zatoichi. in which case, COOL!

as for not in the same league? where have you been? don't you know who's actually making it? it's got every positive thing d2 had. d2 has lived so long thanks to all the mods. d3 won't have mods. it won't have any kind of community-building at all.

but t2 will. t1 has it already. it's what gives it such longevity and t1's community is generally positive, friendly and dedicated. build a community, and you're done.

blizzard used to know this. unfortunately, they lost the guys who knew it. you can't build a positive community on this horrifying auction house model they're proposing. you're just turning people who might not have been spammers into spammers and ensuring no one can go away and play on their own by forcing them to play with the spammers. it's totally bizarre! but good business on their behalf because people are going to go nuts thinking they can make money and will be giving blizzard more money until they figure out they've been gypped.

the auction house will only bring a lot more "gold sellers" is all. it's that real life cash thing that is the biggest problem with the game. when people think they can make money out of playing, that's when it starts going pear-shaped. i don't give it long before it causes more problems than it's worth.

in future, this might help you to consider a more reasonable argument.

youre both wrong, try  Path of Exile , free and better then both ;)

Go live in Europe.

Say what?

 

Speaking as a mature adult who used to play about 60 hours a week, please don't project your skewed perspective around as it is not just incorrect but also in the vast minority of players. kthx

Mature adults who work for a living and put their family before half naked five year old furries*

The biggest part of the gaming community is Adult and working. youre view of the gaming industie is compleetly wrrong.

so WoW style mmo combat in a non mmo game. great..means mmo combat might finaly start evolving into someting better and moba can take the old shit :P

Dudes... .The grand designer of Lineage is the same dude making ArcheAge (Jake Song) , Its said that ArcheAge is the succesor of Lineage being closer to as it should have bin but could not due to the tech restrictions  of the time.

Im not sure how the bussiness relation between NCsoft and Jack Song is but if its sill good I supose NCsoft would make a fine partner. 

Having no controll is more a lack of skill then game mechanics ;)  Its Tribes, its one of the oldest highspeed combat game there is in a new jacked.

Thats 3am GTM and 4am CET for the Europain players, in case any  would like to watch

(how hard is it to add the Euro time.. 2th time.. ;)  )

 thats 3am GTM 4amCET.. just to be compleet it for youre europian user base..that makes up a fair chunk of the users on this site..

Now I have to pull out this one again..   

edit /slapself ?? (did anyone see that? did they? no no no?  /hides)

Street Poll = Bank of america

Hehe so true, but then theres developers that lie but actualy have good intentions (CCP, trion  and alike) theres developers who simply should not make games anymore "the bad ones"  (SOE / Funcom and alike)  a level higher we find criminal bankers and investors  and above that we find Evil publishers Like EA.

The fact that you place a game publisher above companies that managed to almost managed to ruin the global economy, while driving many people homeless or on the verge of bankrupty and poverty, says everything about the screwed up priorities and world blindness that a significant part of gamers these days have

I dint place EA above (or below should be the correct term)  the bankers its a official 250k poll in the USA that did :P

besites taht , nobody cares about crisis and bankers and all taht sort of crap right, most gamers dont feel the pain so they dont think about it ..well not  mutch, in africa everyday millions of people die of unnatual deaths ..but we still game and make a fuzz about what is a mmo and whats not this decade.

its all bullshit, all you can do is donate some if you can spare it and try to live a happy life in the culture you live in and the shit that directly affects you. the world is to big ,you give youreself heart trouble if you think to mutch about it. I know..I had a hearth infarct feb13th2012 age 34, so while I care about the world..I try to think more selfish these days ;)

But what should the companys tell people? The truth?

"We have a lousy game, the connection problem is huge problem, we are months behind n content, we wont have time for updates but feel free to pay for it if you want."

Of course they "lie", thats what they do.

Just look at all MMOs beeing made right now. Its been like that for 15 years.

and in this case Bad and Evil made a pact to go into crime together :P

The game is not finished yet,I haven't seen all the available content, but the basic combat against bugs is rather boring. I think it is mostly facts they aren't challenging enough, there isn't enough of them in every wave and they look rather silly. The chosen ones patrols and events are harder and more fun, but it is still not enough to provide enough content to carry this game over time.

 

Aint it amazing how mutch people can see from 1 video that shows 1 "rat" type starter mob the lvl 1 player comes across while traveling the 0.1% beginner part of the map.

Most over used class atm due to thier super solo ability. its -The Solo Class-  of all classes currently. that said Vanguard is pretty mutch a solo game these days, and untill f2p you be happy whit that class since you will not be depending on others to progress , there simply not enough others" around to  group up whit all the time.

"all access" are you sure? theres nothing in SOE's stable thats not either f2p or compleetly not worth it. vanguard is amoung the last (maybe even the last) game that aint f2p yet. (its SOE's new motto)  be cheaper to play per month now and see were it leads long term.

Worth watching youtube Link yogscast

No long bla bla here, still looking for acces, ty

Fallout 1 and about every other game on GoG is abandonware or simulair, meaning its free anyway but you pay a minor prize for service on sites like GoG.
