I think battlegrounds would work fine.. A game in a game.

I am interested in seeing the game in action.

Originally the races were supposed to be Namekian, Humans and part-Saiyans, but somehow they decided it would be better to just make all the humans part-Saiyans.

Man, Goku and Vegeta were PIMP.  Or their kids were.  Seems every human on earth a couple hundred years down the line is descended from them. ;)

Haha.. I cant believe they thought that made sense.

Not only that they ignored the reason behind why Gohans daughter couldnt transform and thats because of diluted blood! How in the world do all these other descendants transform when a 1/3 Saiyan couldnt!

Still hope the game comes to the US because it looks pretty cool.

World of Warcraft - On first boot up I felt the graphics , animations , combat and just the general feel of the game were great. Going across the bridge into Stormwind from the first time was very nice and I always loved the Griffin Flights because they were ridiculously smooth.

DAoC - I kept falling through the world! I was in Awe by that.

Legends of Kesmai - Not really an MMO ( an early version ) but an online RPG with 100+ players. The art and sound effects were incredible and I still think some of the best in any game.

Lag... That is something so basic that should have been tackled a long time ago. A semi open stress test of sorts should have been done.

WWII Online.. isnt that the game that can only render a certain amount of players at a time? Meaning you can be killed by someone that was invisible to you because the game didnt render him? Seems I heard something about that a long time ago.

1. Usually created by small teams.

2. Those small teams usually have no experience.

3. Have no idea what they are doing.

4. No budget.

5. Think sandbox = pvp gankfest.

Thats about it.

I was able to get into the game some last night after getting a key from this site.

The starting area is pretty good and quite large compared to other beginner zones / islands I have seen.

Good animations , decent combat and the game runs really well for me.

The minion system is neat and I cant wait to be able to have more than one ( if its implemented already ).

I dont mind the amount of quests or hte way they dont tell you for sure where to go. I have found that looking at the summary and getting the location from there and then looking at the map helps alot. Most of the time it will say " Go to X and look around for something " and when you open the map it has locations marked so you can go right to the area.

The first little town you run into is a little less than what I was expecting. It just looked totally different from everything else I was seeing from a graphical standpoint. The buildings were flat , bland and just seemed out of place.

The game needs better lighting.

When you mouse over NPCs , Objects they have a glow that resembles GW2.

All in all I like the game. I like the time period and the creatures I have seen so far. There is definitely a good game to be had here even now IMO and I hope it does well whenever it releases ( I think its supposed to be P2P ot B2P.. Anyone know for sure? )

I personlly like battlegrounds.

I can PvP when I want.

I dont have to worry about being ganked.

I am automatically put in a group.

But I would like to see just one battleground with rotating objectives ( Like Warzone in Killzone ).. CTF , Kill Count , Search & Destroy.. Would be even better if it were persistent..

I am tired of words... I want to see some gameplay and specifics.

Just seems to me they are trying to draw focus away from the broken game and to " upcoming features ".

When subbing to WoW or EQ2 you at the very least know you are getting a decent quality product. I have played many F2P games and none of them every had a quality feel to it and I felt that spending 5$ would mean I already overpaid. The only F2P out there IMO that has a decent feel to it is Allods but that isnt saying much.

I just dont see the value in spending anything on a f2p MMO when the amount needed to spend doesnt match up with the quality of the game.

Do you not realize that EQ2, LOTRO, and DDO are all F2P games now???

F2P certainly does NOT mean crappy. Those three titles are from AAA companies, and they're AAA games.

 

Hell, look at the IP's behind them. Lord of the RIngs. Dungeons & Dragons. Everquest. Thats definitely AAA F2P, and certainly not crap.

You cannot lump in LoTRO or EQ2 with the other F2P games out there because they started out as a traditional P2P and were that way for a long time. And you still have access to the monthly fee to get all the content from the games which is a far better deal.

DDO went f2p because the game sucked and noone was playing it.

So no. You are way off base.

And yes F2P DOES mean crappy.

Some of these replies remind me of Darkfall...

Now that the viral marketing is done this board should soon return to normal.

I guess I am alone.. This video didnt do much for me.

I played Shadowbane years ago just so I could be a Minotaur.

Other

I personally like Class + Exp + Skills.

Class for the general Theme of the Character.

Experience Levels to control health , mana , stamina and under-the-hood combat adds.

Skills to determine how effective your abilities are...Accuracy , Damage , Defense , Spell Damage. The higher your skill the more abilites you can learn.

I think this setup is perfect for PvE based games.

I would rather play PSO.

Vindictus needs to have much longer mission levels. The game is just boring to me. It looks nice but there isnt anything to it.

C9 looks way better too.

My PC just blew up..

Wait.. This expac is 60$?

Tell me.. Did they ever fix S 3.0 with that SoF introduced? Last it looked it was " use at your own risk " type of thing.

Xyson is more of an interactive chat room than anything. If thats what you want then go at it.

I dont see this " game " lasting honestly.. Unless the always famous Indy " Miracle Patch " shows up. Which has yet to ever happen.

 That makes complete sense... unless youve actually played the game or done any sort of research about it whatsoever.

It does make sense... unless you are a fanboy.

The combat is in such a terrible state right now that it might aswell have none. That means PvP and  PvE are already in a sad sad sad state. And this was a game that was supposed to have good combat many moons ago.

I am not even going to mention the hidious sound effects.

All you can do is harvest and build right now and from what I hear they recently turned terraforming off to see if it was causing the lag.

So yes.. It is an interactive chat room because there really isnt a game to be seen in Xyson yet. You talk , harvest , build.. An interactive chat room.

This games release has also been pushed back continuously since April of last year when the game was supposedly going to release and why they hyped up the Prelude to people pre ordering the game at that time.

I have been watching this game for a long time now so you shouldnt assume so much.

And why the BUY IT recommendation? Are you guys getting some kick backs or something?

Edit : This whole game stinks of viral marketing IMO.. The Xyson boards here at MMORPG.com were DEAD for MONTHs then all of a sudden the first page is always full.. Is it a coincidence that this occured when the game got close to its " release "?

Just feels off to me.
