Hi Guys,

It seems as though there has been quite a bit of SOE hate recently, and it has gotten to the point where it is taking over the forums for SOE games. As a result, I am creating this sticky where people can vent their frustrations on this subject.

Please do not continue to hijack other threads with this issue. Also, remember to have a look at our Rules of Conduct regarding what is ok to say and what is not.

Cheers,

Jon "Stradden" Wood, Community Manager

Good Lord another Ghetto for SOE haters.  Why is this in the EQ2 catagory ???  Its bad enough having one in the SWG forum but here also ??

What next, Sticky for DDO haters ??  What about WOW haters ??

I think you have really lost it now.

I hate SoE they beat me up, take my lunch money and stole my girlfriend.

Then they killed my puppy, ate all my food, called me bad names and then spanked me… OK so I kind of was into the spanking but Waaaahh I hate SoE

I think they made a sticky for the SoE hater on all their games so its fitting EQ2 shoulde have one too.

But i love this forum.Since EQ2 is really one of the games SoE has handled well its so easy to finish off SoE haters here thus there are only a few who even dare try and they get blasted.

But SWG is another matter

I enjoyed SWG when it first came out for about 2 months.  The quests were horrid, and the while the harvesting and crafting system was AWESOME, the final result of crafting was not.   Right when I thought about giving SWG a second try I started to hear how screwed up the game was.

I was REALLY pissed when EQ2 was first released.  What the hell was that?  Only able to sell if your on-line?  Since then the game has improved incredibly.

So I'm only a little angry at SOE.  SWG wasn't all that great to begin with so I cancelled, and EQ2 is a pretty good game. 

I can't wait to see all the crying/trolling etc. that's going to hit the fan when Vanguard comes out.  I'm not going to touch that game untill it's been out for 6-8 months (but that probably goes for any game).  I can GUARANTEE that the game will be released in the same fashion and quality as EQ2 was.  Do you think your going to have all the 3rd generation functionality promised to be in the game at launch?  Waiting even a month to realease a game for a few in game issues costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.  This one's being released with problems, just in time to ruin your Christmas

I'll let all you fanbois beta test the retail version of game for me. 

All that said, I am still looking foward to playing Vanguard. 

Another SOE hater here. My experience is mainly with Everquest2. 

Things I hate:

  Tiny unfinished expansions I pay full price for. 

  Renaming old zones and calling them new ones.

  Level 10 Blobs that you'll see again at level 40, 50, 60 and 70.

  Laggy raid zones. (So much for instancing!)

  Poor itemization, yup, it doesn't matter if you raid, the items all stink. (SEE: Deathtoll)

  Raiding based on "required classes" not skill or strategy.

  PvP completely unbalanced, some classes are way better than others.

  Chinese themed expansion packs -- where's the fantasy!

  Constant class nerfs, who knows what your class will be tomorrow!

  Tradeskills, why bother? They're pointless.

  Poor communication from SOE on EVERYTHING.

Common problem in all MMO's

I have to agree with you on this one partially, the art in this really is not that good when it comes to items like weapons and armor. Everything looks so drab and blobby

Yup, class balancing is a b**ch in all games. DAoC and almost all other PvP have been battling this from the start.

  Chinese themed expansion packs -- where's the fantasy!

Correct me if I am wrong but Chinese "fantasy" is just as fantasy as european? I guess if you are from China you might not to excited about that. 

  Constant class nerfs, who knows what your class will be tomorrow!

ug, SOE is a great fan of the 'revamp". I wish they would stop it.

  Tradeskills, why bother? They're pointless.

Howso?

  Poor communication from SOE on EVERYTHING.

Name me a company that is good lol. Horizons is the only game I know where the president of the company replies to players post.
