not really interested in TSW or TERA. with GW2, ME3, Tribes, Firefall, and MW:Online on the horizon, i wont know what to play first.

The fatal Age of Conan launch taught me once: Never listen only to blunt "words" and / or advertisment.

Of course you should forgive people, but companies? Its still not that transparent that I / we can see behind companies and developers actually excusing themselves for what they have did wrong in the first place.

That means, I will not buy TSW. I am excited from 1-10 like a 4 or 5. Maybe I will take a look when the trial will be released.

The setting, character development etc isn't that mindblowing for me. Mediocre excitement.

I mean... this setup in TSW is basicly our world, with a twist. They mix up all kind of horror-creatures ever created and give it a little bit of lore. Meh...

Not interested at all. There are some intruiging concepts going into this game but none of the videos of the gameplay I have seen look fun at all.

Also, I'm pretty sure you still have to level up your skills in the game so that whole "no levels" thing they were saying is BS.

Some people may call me a mindless sheep or a sucker because I try new mmos when they release. I enjoy taking the plunge, being the first to experience a new mmo. I like to get my hands dirty. But you go ahead and sit on the sidelines and talk trash on the people actually playing mmos.

Iv'e only totally regretted it with 2 games, DCUO and SWTOR.  I have had some fun with other mmos, even if I unsubbed after a month or grew to hate them.  DCUO I couldn't get to work it might have been alright.

Im the same as both these guys, hell I even enjoyed the first month of SWTOR, there is something to me of starting a game at launch, I did it with AC, with WOW, with Conan, SWtor, Rift, every one of those games gave me plenty of entertainment.  Im getting TSW at launch, and maybe TERA as well.  Both games look good to me, and should be enough variety to keep me entertained for sometime.  Also will be playing Path of Exile which is a great Diablo style game in beta right now that will be totally f2p

I would say this is the one im keeping an eye on the most atm, though i am im trying to not have any expectations.

I do plan to try it for sure, I'll let the game decide if i like it and stay.

I certainly hope that we level up the skills, if there is no leveling, no skill leveling, what is there to do?  Just go play Street Fighter.  You have to be able to improve your char thru time, no MMO would ever be successful otherwise

I'm excited, really hope funcom will pull through with launch this time.

I haven't been too thrilled about AoC, it ended up too similar to wow imo, but i've played it quite a bit.

Loved AO, though i got into it really really late. But the depth and complexity, love it. After twinking in AO I can never call "getting an 80 to run you through dungeons for all blue gear" for twinking, it doesn't even compare.

No leveling up of skills, no "fireball 1 2 3 4", only skillpoints to gain and new skills to spend them on. 500+ skills alltogether, all of them can be bought on a single character given enough time. From those 500+ skills you can only have 14 (7 active, 7 passive) "equipped" at any one time.

Skills are what funcom calls "horizontal progression".

There will also be "vertical progression", in the form of weapons and chakras. Clothing will have no stats.

I am excited but skeptic due to the skill system and how they interact with your character.

I can't wait for this game!

You remind me of my boss who wants to add a feature to our software and says: "Can't you just add a button?" Adding the button is easy. Making the button do anything useful can be very complex.

I have played a bit of the beta and it was like reading a book. The start was ok - pretty standard stuff really. Did some missions. Well made missions, but nothing that new. Then I get this quest that ties really well into the other ones and I start THINKING about what is going on here? All the other guys zombified while this lone guy being all ok? Why? This wasn't even a investigation mission, it was just a regular quest, but it really made me wonder.

Usually when I play computer rpg's I just wait for the plot to unravel in front of me as I click through the quests. Like reading a book, just more awkward. I think TSW is going to be a bit more open-ended. The regular missions give you information you can use when you use when you do the investigation missions. I think this will make the investigation missions quite successful and the regular missions much more useful. Now, instead of a mission just being "kill x of y" you might notice something that helps you solve an investigation mission you are doing if you pay attention.

Anyway, I am most excited about fiddling with the skill system and creating builds (which I have tried and loved) and crafting (which I haven't tried). I think the amount of customization and small tweaks you can do to your character through skills, gear and clothes is going to be awesome. The game also looks very friendly for a player who wants to play the occational hour or three building your character bit by bit, instead of the endgame just being a relentless gear grind.

I am watching the game but I won't get excited about any game after SWTOR. I don't believe any hype of any game now before it gets released.

I've seen promising things about it, but like the poster above me, I'm wary about most games ... except GW2.

I don't understand how anyone could ever have been excited about swtor :p

because kotor 1 was a great RPG

This is a statement I can really understand. My girlfriend was so pumped when BF3 was released and got it at launch day but couldn't get it installed. Then a few days later when she got it installed she couldn't change the hotkeys the way she is used to. She ended up waiting some weeks before the game was patched so she could play it.

Personally I started playing AoC two-three months after launch and didn't get all the complaining people had done, because most of it was fixed at that time. The most disruptive experience I had while playing was guilds collapsing. (The game did still crash after zoning 7-10 times, but I often played in the same zone for several hours so more annoying than gamebreaking. It was fixed about three months after I started playing.)

I have played the TSW beta for some hours and I think giving it a couple of weeks after launch should be plenty of time for hotfixes to be applied. TSW was completely stable for me in beta unlike AoC 3 months after launch. They have put more effort into quality this time around. ;)

I've read hints of "this is going to be good" or "you're gonna be surprised in a positive way" type of posts from people who suggest in a vague manner that they have or are playing the beta, so while I havent really been watching TSW or been that very hyped about it... I definitely do want to try it once its out.

No I am not.

In the begining I followed it for a while, but then I realised that it is just another Themepark with Voiced Quest much like SW:TOR and with a simili skill system instead of levels, but the scope of the game is that of a Themepark.

I am looking forward for two games as it stands, GW2 and Arche Age.

In the mean time I am mainly having fun a couple of hours a day playing WoT untill either of the above titles come out.

 

errrrr...    GUILD WARS 2 IS A THEMEPARK

Yub, probably just as heavy theme parked, as SWTOR. Can't wait for Guild wars 2!

Definately, im gonna log in on day one. let this game faceplant and watch it bloom into something amazing.

Same with me. Won't spend a dime on this game, their greed turned me off.
