exactly. one size fits all mentality. heaven forbid a class have a weakness. waah why cant my warrior heal itself, waah why cant my healer also do some damage, waah why cant my glass cannon wear heavy plate!! no choice anymore as far as classes. you might get some choice in how you spec such as a few more points of damage or a few more on defense but thats it. easy and lazy but hey if you can make millions doing the least amount of work, why wouldnt you?

Right now it's a lot like the other servers, though this is normal for most new MMO's as people are too excited to focus on things like role-playing events. Though London seems to becoming a hub for it as each time I visit there is more random RP compared to the other faction cities. Heck I see more Illuminati and Dragon in London then I do their own cities. :-P

 

I think this is do to the layout of London there are more spots for people to gather and it's layout flows better. So if you are looking for RP I would start there, but don't expect much at the moment.

you see other factions there because london is the only town with a clothing shop and bank right now. i see lots of RP with people just talking locally such as in a bar or around the vendors

if its anything like the first then yes they will ruin it

used to get a free salvaging skill book from one of the tutorials, not sure if they changed it or not but that is a way to make isk early on.

The original post was posted on Feb. 28th at 3 PM, the fixed post was posted on March 1st at 8 PM. Now i'm not the smartest at math, but I do believe that is bit longer than 24 hours.

uh yeah thus the reason i said @ 24 which means around  24 hours. if you want to get specific then ill correct my post to say 29 hours and 27 minutes.

so how long did this whole process take? from the time you first posted to when you said it was fixed was a little over 24 hours. not bad for something as screwed up as you want us to believe. i agree the process should be simplified, the CS should have more power to correct things but if this only took @ 24 hours to rectify it seems a bit silly to even post about. let's hope the thousands of other people with issues dont clog up these boards.

Not if they leave

ok didnt know you were a lawyer and privy to his contract or to the inner workings of bioware. i stand corrected.

scenarios killed it. they wanted an open world with RvR but people just went and played the instanced scenarios instead. no wonder the world was empty.

im sure there is an app for that on the ipod! grocery frenzy-shop til you drop!

no one is looking for an argument except you dude. this was a review thread and i stated why i did not like the game. you seem the one to have issues with it. if this game is a sandbox as so many claim then let me play it the way i enjoy it and that is by being able to take more than one quest at once. if i had a grocery list i would not go to the store multiple times to do the job, i would get everything i could while i was there the first time. this mechanic of 1 quest at a time is unrealistic. and please stop bringing age into the matter(checked your profile and im older than you). i enjoy a good slow game as i have many turn based games on my computer at the moment and they require much more thought than this mmo will ever require. i enjoyed eve as well and that is akin to watching paint dry if you travel a lot. so please dont equate this game to some uber brain game that only a thinking man can enjoy or appreciate.

had 5 available quests from the maritime guild in lisbon. did 3 that werent difficult. 2 talking to people and one fighting. came back and the guy only had two available. so no progression there. went to intermediate school city and decided to check out what quests were available. dude had two go to lisbon quests and talk to people. no reason not to be able to do those at same time. if doing multiple quests at the same time leads to boredom later on then the game hasnt got much under the hood to begin with. if it's a sandbox like everyone suggests then whats the problem in knocking out a few quests in a single trip?

cerebral?? having multiple quests where you need to talk to some people in a city isnt that difficult, i think we can handle the multitasking. i lose no immersion by having 2-3 quests. instead it is very unrealisitic to have to go to lisbon run around talking to people and go wherever they send me then finally back to the questgiver to complete. then after that i can get another quest. oh you want me to visit the port of lisbon and talk to someone, well damn i was just there i could have done it then. this was a review thread so i gave my review of a game mechanic thats flawed in my opinion.  

tried this out since the options to do whatever you want were plentiful. i deleted it after i tried to get two quests at once and was denied. figured since i was going back to lisbon i would get several quests that involved that port. guy in maritime guild told me i had to many requests at the moment. whether you get the ability to take more quests on at a later level or there is an item you can purchase that allows such a thing i do not know and did not bother to find out. was easier to delete the game.
