Netmarble puts conventional pay-to-win combat items in item mall; still doesn't seem to realize that the game isn't just about combat
General Discussion « Uncharted Waters Online 5/01/13 8:18:43 PM
Nah, Perfect world is actually better than Netmarble. They have super high prices on cash store but the items are not so outrageously overpowered. It's still P2win pretty much in Perfect World stores but they should take Greed 101 lessons from netmarble. My latest favourie was the cannons made by the cash shop items where you can blow up any ship in just 1 shot... It is the super nuke cannon of the 16th century!

Lord of the Rings Online: Helm's Deep Expansion Set for Late 2013
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 4/24/13 8:51:49 PM
Originally posted by Deeter I am sorry but you are completely wrong. It is usually not kill bears but KILL x PIGS I have been killing pigs for the last 4-5 years and their population still seems to be the same. Every new zone added seems to be bringing more Pigs to kill... The real danger to these lands are not the Orcs goblins etc..it is the PIGS! I would like to thank the developers for adding new pigs at every new zone, I keep paying $30-40 per expansion so I can have even higher level pigs to kill at different zones. I have to go now and kill even more pigs. I would like to suggest that developers release another expansion $50 called "Rise of the pigs". They really dont have to do much, all they have to do is just level up the pigs 5 more levels, change the color of the skin a little bit and rename the mob from "Rohan Pig" to "Super Pig"....you know, like they do at every expansion :) |

I actually reinstalled and played for 2 days after 1 year break. It is good to know that nothing changed :) Except I was getting more lockboxes and more spam messages saying "XXX got another ship from a lock box! yay" I tried some of the new missions, and then tried to play some of the old buggy ones I got stuck in, in which I got in stuck again cause it bugged again :) I also looked at the shop to see if I can buy anything new...Nope, maybe some more new ship designs... I will definitely come back and try again next year to see what kind of awesome changes are made... |

Star Trek Online: Legacy of Romulus Expansion Coming May 21st
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 3/21/13 8:48:06 PM
This is going to be awesome! I got maxed up chars on both factions and got nothing to do other than collect lock boxes! With the addition of Romulans I can get him to max level and then have nothing else to do other than collect lock boxes! I hope they add some other variaties of lock boxes, Since factions cant even attack each other unless you are in an instanced pvp scenario the Romulan faction will make this game even better than before! |

The game feels completely like diablo or torchlight. You get a class and stick to it, no multiclassing which is the special thing about DDO. Wanna be a DPS fighter? or an evocation wizard? No just stick tot he basic archtypes they give to you... Most likely other clssses like paladin monk etc will be in the cash shop... I can't even move and swing my sword, everything roots you in place... Summary: I agree with the original poster: complete disappointment, If you want D&D go play DDO, much dated but still way better than this |

When I killed 5 drows I had 5 sets of elf chain mails, 5 drow swords and 5 magical drow rings ....
Now I kill 200 knights in full steel armor and I get 1 leather armor...or 1 piece of wizard robe... |

Think of these people as little time scammers. Lets buy the rights to this title, get some crowd in. Then sell anything we can before the game collapses. A good example is the latest event where they sell items that can 1 shot (around 400-500 damage) any ship. Maybe 2-3 shot huge well armored ships. Still, you get my point. This is probably what happened: Gpotato/netmarble: We are not making a lot of money lately, lets sell these items where it makes the game total P2Win. but sir, some players will be upset and leave the server... Gpotato/netmarble: who cares, release the kraken!!!! (players leave the server, large protest begin...) Gpotato/netmarble: We are sorry for releasing such unfair items, we will get them off the item shop in a little while, so buy while you still can!!! Players: YAY! they listened to us, they will not sell these items in the cash shop after a few days when their pockets are full and the pvp is totally ruined.... Whats funny is game rating going higher and higher on this site.... I wonder who is voting?

guess what I just dropped $100 on planetside cause the cash shop doesnt let me Pay2Win. I am just getting more xp and some unlocks, got some skins, that does make my character look cool and thats it. Its not like "oh, someone is about to shoot me, let me use this cash shop invincibility item or click on my double speed run so I can cap the base before anyone" like UWO Good thing I saw this coming long time ago...the greed killed the game. I spent hundreds of dollars on other games and 0 on this game. I had hopes, I had dreams but thanx to Gpotato and Netmarble now they are gone. I hope the server closes and some other person gets the rights from KOEI and releases it again...with MORALS and NO GREED this time, then the comunity will flourish and it will become a small but fun game...
(sad and funny how people do dungeons and no sailing in a sailing game cause of the imbalance....) |

I am just happy that i didnt buy the founder pack for this game. This is nothing more than counterstrike FPS with mechs. There is no dept, no strategy, just get a big assault mech and dish out damage while zerging with your buddies. I like to play a light/med scout mech, today in a capture base mission I SOLO captured the base, while the other people were fighting with their assault mechs in the middle. I was jus so proud of myself cause I won the game for my team with a LIGHT mech by capturing the base. Then the team points come up: Assault mechs get 400-500 points for dishing out a lot of damage and I got 21...
Not kidding only 21 pointd for winning the game, my punishment for not playing an assault mech, or one of those mosquito light mechs that make circles and keep spamming lasers using lag to my advantage... I am also sick of playing the same 4-5 scenarios over and over again, the game was fun for 2 hours and the other 4 hours I wasted on it was frustration. But you can just visit the cash shop to buy a nice big mech with great weapons that gets 30% more xp... I will not uninstall for another couple weeks cause devs are talking about planet invasions etc, if that feature is not coming then all i can say is this is a BAD version of world of tanks... |

I am not touching that game with a 10 feet pole... First the developer is notorious for the buggy game releases. 1 year after the release I might try it (when it goes free to play) Second there is always balancing issues in their games both in oblivion and skyrim magic was way weaker than melee or bow. Just build up resistances and magic hardly damages you not to mention the casters run out of mana. In melee...swing away for 1000+ damage crits. -I didn't play this game yet so I am just assuming based on my knowledge of both oblivion and skyrim.
And both in skyrim and oblivion there is really NOTHING to do other than grind small side quests, or try another character. This will be just another skyrim you eill spend fun few weeks with friends and then wait for the next thing....then again I hope they prove me wrong and make a decent game/product rather than this cash cow to milk the gamers |

Thats the beauty of GW2 , no monthly fee. I will most likely take a break to try other games, maybe some other MMO (maybe some old single player games, MMO's tend to get boring after a while...same old grind, different themepark)

I dont do WvW anymore, you know why? What's the point? I used spend hours so that my server climbs up the ladder and meet stronger and better opponents. I used to defend a castle for hours dying multiple times and paying a lot of repairs so that my faction will control the castle... Then one day I woke up and asked myself? Whats the point? As my server goes up the ladder and as me and myguildmates spend many hours and lots of gold on this cause what do we get back? Don't tell me you get more benefits for your server as you get higher points. The benefits are almost negligible. Maybe 2% more crafting xp boost and 2% more gold from monster. I just spend 4 hours defending that castle last week, what was the reward for me or my guild? Did my guild get a reward for defending our castle? No, we actually lost a lot of gold buying siege engines and repairing. Maybe we won a little karma but thats it... Now the biggest catch, what do we do when we go Wvw now? me and coupel friends just hop from one instance to another just capping the supply camps for karma, sometimes we cap undefended castles too, but dont defend it. It all turned into a big zerg around the map capping as many things in a little time and let them get capped by the enemy so u can cap them again. At one point it was 3 big zergs of 3 servers going clockwise around the battleground just capping everything and not defending so the next group can capture it. Why defend it? whats the reward? Karma farming with a group of opposite faction is much faster, everyone is sarting to do this now... (edit: before ppl say u get points for defending too, NO, its just a small fraction of what you would get if you were capturing it. and also its still bugged, I can stay inside the castle for hours and maybe get 1 out of 3 or 4 defense rewards) |
