Noticed ,some peoples mentioned 3th faction,STO is 2 faction game it is burn in stone now,Romulans are not faction it is only playable species on KDF/Fed side.

 

1.  STO is made by an American company.  By definition of "asian grind game", that makes it impossible to be an asian grind game.

2.  Every game has grind, even WoW.  Get over it.

3.  There is indeed a third faction being introduced.  This has already been established a while ago.  Before this, Romulans have not been a playable species in STO.  People could create a facimile of Romulans in the character creation, but they will not be a playable species until the expansion.  Please pay attention to the dev blogs if you are going to try to post a statement that is easily proven false by searching them so you can avoid doing so and damaging your argument.

oh yeah ,  who care is it american company if gameplay concept is asian  hard core grind concept(after Season 5,before game concept was different) 

 

I have to wonder if you've ever played an Asian grinder if you think STO is like one.

Are you a dev?? You're logic applies to teaspoons too. You can eat with them, shovel sand, measure sugar, spread peanut butter., throw 'em.....wheeeeeee! Ima sub one for $20/month!

So you're complaining about complaining? Blah blah blah...........when you were young, you had to walk uphill to school in 10 feet of snow, then uphill again to get home............

If you don't like games, don't play games. There's loads of other things to do out there. Take some responsibility for your own free time, stop demanding deogame developers to do it for you.

Strange becouse i dont have this problem with books. I dont remember when i read a book that bore me to death like most games. 

The problem i see is your low standards. You said games criticism disgusts you. I say people like you who accept medicority disugust me.

 If most games bore you, then don't play? If games are boring for you, maybe, just maybe, you don't like playing games? But you say you enjoyed games in the past? Well, then you have moved past games and so they are no longer fun. It is THIS simple. It is overcritical jaded old school "gamers" like you who are the root problem of all this QQ.

I agree with you OP! I think the problem might be that these "30+" old school gamers have just got bored of games in general. And they haven't realised that this happens to a lot of people. As people get older, they get bored of playing games.

Totally agree with this. I don't really see myself as a gamer much anymore because games just don't do it for me now. For years I was disappointed with new releases that didn't give me what I got from them before and in the end it dawned on me that it's not the games as much as it's me. And I'm not just talking about MMOs, it's all games. I still play them from time to time but only for an hour or so before I get bored.

There's a whole world of cool stuff out there, if games ain't doing it for you give it a go. You might be surprised how much more fun riding a bike down a hill is compared to key-spamming a room full of pretend baddies can be. Stop moaning that game companies don't entertain you anymore and take some responsibility for your own leisure time.

I love this game. Sure the graphics aren't the best, the controls can be a bit tricky at first and the learning curve is fairly steep, but you absolutely will not find a more immersive, more epic and more intense WW2 game out there. Or any kind of war game for that matter.

I've got so many memories from my time in this game - paradrops over contested towns, being the only man alive out of a mission of 25 to make it into a German held town, being hopelessly outnumbered in Zeebrugge yet somehow holding on for 3 hours, being pinned down in the centre of Wavre in Belgium and seeing "RAF inbound Wavre" come up on chat to cheers over TS followed by swearing when "ETA 15 minutes" followed it.

Try it, stick with it through the learning curve (2 weeks ought to do it) and it will reward you with some of the best gaming moments you will ever have. And I say that as someone who's been gaming since the start of it all.

Only reason I don't play it now is that it took up way too much of my time!"

 

 

 

Heh, that's me! I just came here to see how the game was going before hitting up the free to play thing for a few days.

Sounds good so far, but don't all these games this far ahead of release? If it's half as good as Day Z was in the early days I'll probably pick it up, but it's the Day Z standalone I'm really interested in.

People say it's all down to organised guilds but it's really not. In the end it's a numbers game. Whichever server can raise the most players over every 24 hour period will win, it's as simple as that.

I'm on a relatively small server, we rarely have queues and have no meaningful night coverage which means we get dominated by any server that can attack at night when we can't defend and who can outman us during peak. Actually I say that, but we're starting to get pretty good at being outnumbered and have got to the point where we usually win in standing fights against groups up to twice our own number. There's a knack to it which I think only regularly outnumbered servers will have at this stage and I'm not going to share it here.

This week's match-up was going pretty well for us, we fought from a terrible last place on Saturday to a point where we could push for first place within a couple of days. Trouble is, the currently winning server ran two all-nighters (I think they may have members from another time-zone), capped all four WvW maps and opened up an 80,000 point lead which is unassailable. They may do the same again tonight.

It's down to the way that points are scored and I'm mostly OK with it for now, but I really hate the effect it has on people on our server and on others who get rolled the same way. No one likes losing but losing at times when you can't defend due to real life requirements naturally saps the will to participate in a lot of people, and I don't blame them for losing interest.

I wonder why you wonder because in no way x-fire is representative for the mmo community's opinion. In most games where I mentioned to my guilds that I was an xfire the majority didn't even know what it was and those that did were not using it.

If you're an active member in that community I can understand you might want to know how your fellow members think about it, but then you would already know how to find those figures.

What they are look for is trends. Of course Xfire or Raptor are not really representative of the overall community. But they are an somewhat ok pool of people from different ages to give you an overall idea of the game. Mind you that most of the people are playing LoL but also other games are up on the chain and you can use those numbers to relate it to popularity. YOu wont find actual subs numbers but it is evident that if the Xfire or Raptor numbers diminish then you can extrapolate 2 things, either the Xfire community left Gw2 (highly unlikely), or that the game is in deed seeing less people lpaying it. 

Think about how Xfire gathers its data and what it actually measures. Then think about what you said in the orange bit.

Just looking at the chart at http://beta.xfire.com/games/gw2 it's easy to see that gw2's population is shrinking very quickly. And the best is yet to come (MoP).

That's nonsense. All it shows is that players are playing fewer hours. There is no correlation with population at all.

We want to give you a heads up: Starting with the new WvW rotation tomorrow, we will limit the free World transfer to one transfer every 24h.

This should address some of the unwanted WvW exploits we have seen, while still giving people the opportunity to switch a server to play with their friends.

But, I thought ANet, according to this:

“Although it might be bad sportsmanship, espionage and sabotage are legitimate tactics in any combat based game. We would not consider the use of these tactics to be a violation. Please let us know if you have any further questions.”

from this thread:

http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/feature/6738/Guild-Wars-2-Review-in-Progress-Part-4-WvW.html

..wasn't ANet condoning that behavior?  Now they are changing their tune?

 

 

 

The problem with allowing espionage and sabotage and enabling it through server transfers is that there is nothing you can do about it. In a real war spies can be captured and executed, but in GW2 they're free to stand there listening and reporting to their own server via TS even if their cover is blown.

As far as WvW goes, I'd agree that being level 80 with exotics gives a huge advantage and that as time goes on it'll become more hostile to non-80s as more players reach the cap. I'm level 57 or 58 at the moment but am very active in WvW. I die very, very often if I get caught on my own without any supporting players nearby but it doesn't stop me from WvWing.

The way I see it is that until you're level 80 your main role is support, whether that's reviving fallen allies, laying damage down to help your higher level players, scouting, sentrying or whatever. This is how you learn how to handle your class in a mass-PvP environment and all those deaths are part of that learning process. You can't take dying personally and you can't go into it with the expectation that you're going to win all your fights, because that's not going to happen. Hell, it's not going to happen when you get to 80.

The other thing with WvW is personal kills (or deaths) are never as important as understanding the strategies that are going on and the group tactics that can swing a zerg vs zerg battle. The trick is to know where to put yourself to make the biggest difference for your side and you don't get that simply by dinging 80, you get it through experience.

remember when people said that WvW wasn't instanced pvp? 

Now you know why people complained about lack of open pvp. 

WvW isn't instanced, if it was there wouldn't be any need for queues because when one instance was full another one would be created.

I'm loving WvW, in fact I'm finding it hard to stay in PvE for very long at the moment when I know there's some great fun to be had in the Eternal Battlegrounds.

That said, the one thing that is a constant frustration is how enemy players often don't load in until they're right on top of you chopping you into little bits. It makes tactical play impossible and is wide open for exploiting. I might have missed it but I'm surprised there haven't been more threads about this, as I've heard plenty of people complaining about it in /team and /map.

Which got me wondering, is there some setting or group of settings that others are using to fix this?

The overflow thing makes some sense as you can't join WvW or access the WvW screen when you're in overflow. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it had an effect on queue times too.

Every now an then I meet people I refer to as Evangelical Vegetarians. They are not happy just being Vegetarians themselves, they feel that everyone else must be a vegetarian as well. It is really quite annoying.

Heh, try telling someone you're vegetarian. Anyone, it doesn't matter.

See what happens...

You might just find that it's not just vegetarians who are evangelical about what other people eat.

Anyway, back OT. @OP if you're getting personal emails regarding what you post here, that's a problem and something that you've every right to complain about.

Our server has done very well sometimes and dreadfully at other times. Like last night where we were massively outnumbered by both our enemy servers, yet our Overmind controlled zerg kept throwing itself at Stonemist to get farmed by whichever zerg happened to have the upper hand at the time.

I think we've got a lot of potential but very little organisation at the moment, which is something we're slowly coming to address. There's a few WvW guilds forming at the moment so hopefully some of the DAOC/WW2OL/etc experience that we've got between us will help us pull together. Or the Overmind might be too strong and we continue to throw ourselves willingly and piecemeal onto the AoEs of the enemy ;)

I can't see removing quest hubs being too hard to implement, just remove quests givers and make it so the you automatically get the quests whenever you're close to whatever bandits you need to kill, plants you need to water, or NPCs you need to escort.

 

TADA! Dynamics events.

You're confusing hearts with dynamic events. They aren't the same thing.

I wish I was getting bored of it.

Has anyone else tested the portal bug?

Heard it on another site, supposedly a bug means whenever you teleport (only zone to zone as far as I could tell) it seems to reset your position in the queue. As far as I can tell this is indeed true. Stayed in one zone and got in within about 20mins, while any time I have been zone hopping I've pretty much never got in to WvW.

Needs more testing.

I was wondering about this too. At the weekend me and a mate joined the WvW queue at the same time, I got in in about 10-15 mins, my mate was still waiting 2 hours later and eventually had to log without getting in at all.

Not sure if I zoned during my wait, but my mate was wondering if his zoning was what caused him to not get in when I did or soon after.
