...?

It seems that every other race had a lot of details of their city, why did Asura get left out?

I can't seem to find much footage of it...besides a preview.

Did I miss something?

Me thinks you need to save up $50 and buy an Xbox .....

Instant Action... Planetside would be good i suppose.

WoW arena? 

BF3?

Black Prophecy can be a lil fun, since its a FPS space combat shooter.

Original guild wars is still fun, and u can be max lvl from day 1 for pvp.

Edit: Put a few screens of BP for u.

Heh voted for WoW as most innovative... raid finder and dungeon finder are awesome.  The game itself is stale now, but thats a huge deal in my opinion.

Yeah, we're burnt out on shallow mmo games that increasingly control us and play the game for us.  If I want my hand held and an adventure force-fed, I'll watch a movie.

That's not really the problem either. The problem is that you can't choose anything different, not that a certain game is too linear.

Exactly, you can pick any themepark from 5 years ago say everquest 2 and then play a newly released title such as rift and then  try comparing the gameplay. It is essentially the same damn thing. So when all we're fed is the same thing for so many years, it's not hard to see why people are burnt out. It has come to a point now where even wow players are burning out on the genre, and some may disagree with me on that but I think Swtor really was the last of its kind and doubt many games with the same gameplay will release anymore. 

I think your right....

Look whats comin up!

-Guild Wars 2

-Secret World

-Planetside 2

-Firefall

-Archeage?

Seems pretty positive to me.

Thanks for images

Cant wait... looks amazing

ASURA Guardian! Those animations were insanely hilarious

Yeah the other thread turned into a SWTOR vs GW2 fest, so thank you for starting a new one....

I got in.....

And I canceled my pre-order 2 weeks ago. LOL.

They said they will publickly announce the the GW2 (closed) beta start in 2012..
They have 4 weeks left to just do that, announce it, and it will start somewhere in 2012...
 
Best time to release in 2012, will be April to Jun, as by that time many of the SWTOR crowd might be looking for a new story and game...
 
I still beleive the GW2 beta can be done in 3 to 4 months (i highly doubt there will be an open beta, maybe just and extended testing weekend or two)

---

 

The Secret World comes out in April so I hope it doesn't come out until September at the earliest. GW2 may not be my type of game (in its current state), but I'm for sure gonna check it out and I want to give it my full attention.

You must hate us, wishing for a Sept release, idk if I can wait that long!

We see where this topic is going guys:)

We will never build a perfect mmo.

Becouse: I want it like this he want it like that and they want it differently hehe.

Lol this is true, but if you notice...there are 1 or 2 things we agree upon.  If this thread keeps up it would be a majority rules kind of thing.  Not everyone will have the same point of view, but many will have similar ideas.  These are the ideas that would help produce the perfect community MMO.

If the majority rules then WoW is already the perfect game by that comparison.

Would you like me to add a poll at the top asking this question?

It seems as though its a common trend on these forums to bash bash bash without any ideas how to fix the game.

So, I thought it would be interesting to see what we as a community consider the perfect MMO.

Below I will list each category and I want to hear from you how you think it should be done.

In no particular order....

Combat

My perfect time of combat would have to be a first person shooter.  Maybe its due to my love for Planetside, but I feel as if it depends more on twitch skill than being able to do the perfect hotbar rotation.

Setting (Fantasy, Sci-fi, etc.)

I would prefer to see a near future setting, where it wasn't pew pew lasers, but rather improved bullets.  The setting I am thinking of is somewhat like Mass Effect. 

Crafting

Crafting should be rewarding, which means it should be challenging.  I don't want to be able to craft something super awesome in one hour.  It should take days, this would put much more meaning behind the item for me.  While I understand this would be frustrating for some, overall it would prove to be a more rewarding experience for others.  I hate to say it, but I am going to refer back to WoW, the quest around mid lvl 20's for strictly Paladins was epic.  You had to forge a mace that involved you running throughout the entire world, while it didn't take days it did take several hours.  This made me appreciate and hold onto that mace for years in my bank.

Dungeons

Dungeons are a touchy subject, instance or open world?  I would love to see a mix in a MMO, however in the open dunegon zones I would enjoy some type of competitiveness for players.   Rare ore or some type of mini boss at the end to encourage either grouping or pvp.

Economy

I think if the crafting is expansive enough and meaningful, a player driven economy will be easy to achieve.  You will take pride in your crafting and in return demand a good price for your work.  SWG had it right, I would come back to the same vendors for their higher quality products.

Player Levels/Skills

Skyrim....thats the skill model I would replicate, it doesnt define one specific path for you, you use a weapon...you level up in it.  Simple and effective.

Questing

Questing should be meaningful, why on earth would I want to deliver a package to some wahoo.  I want it to be an experience, I want it to change a small part of the world.  People always say you can't change a world in a MMO, it would be too confusing...  Well, why not?  I think if I slayed some innocent people at a market, I should have a bounty on my head and a quest for another player to come and kill me.

Player Customization

I think feeling unique is a huge aspect in MMO's.  The customization should be extensive for the character creation screen (Aion), but the armor models should also be unique.  Why does it seem armor dyes have gone out the window (Props Warhammer)?  I want some spore type of shit that I can craft and design my own armor models and apply them to my character (restrictions would apply).

Player Housing

Pleeeasse make me feel like I own a part of the world, even if its an instanced zone like LOTRO.  This is huge to me, I remember in UO/SWG being able to sell goods at my front porch. 

Raiding

Raiding shouldn't be about a gear grind... (RAN OUT OF TIME, gotta go to class! BRB WILL FINISH LATA)!

PvP

Out of categories, if you think of something I missed, please add.

The graphics are good, running at ultra in the beta, no issues with the graphics at all. 

not according to that video tho lol...

Any video is going to make the graphics of a game look slightly less than their full potential, unless the video is professionally made. I sir, am no professional :P 

The graphics are great, the fact that it's star wars is awesome, and the lightsabers and blasters are so obviously cool that I figured those would be given reasons to play XD

Welcome back to hatter land. Where everything possitive is bashed with irrational thought.

 

Nice video, again, nice to see possitives from someone who has been playing for a while. I don't think I agree with the cuteness of Jawas, but they are a stapple of SW. And the FFA Den sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Could be GvG for recources and the venders. Also, isn't there an arena in that area? At least a place that could be turned into a player controlled fighting ring with betting and the like?

 

Looking forward to your next 6 reasons. Thanks for the vids.

Jawas should have been a playable race!

Some of the video makes it look as if the world opens up a lot as you get higher up.  This was my main issue with SWTOR, however if it does open up, I would be willing to give it another shot.....

Is this just due to it being a open pvp zone?  Or does the world actually open up more?

Yeah! Man up and give me ur code! :-P
