• • NC SOFT ...poor developer.

  • Personally I think ncsoft has learned alittle bit as you see from things like dungeon runners and exteel, even if thousands of hours are wasted on little things no one cares about they still let them do it.  Personally I think there needs to be a bit of a medium.  Though it could just be the gamers as well, where stupid things like crafting and auction houses somehow take massive priority over making the gameplay fun and adding actual content; and in the end those gamers quit cause the game sucks and lacks content.  Same thing is happening to mythos..

     

    So ya, you let them run free and you get a shallow game with lots of little doodads, or you control them and force them to develop combat and content to have a fun base game, before they start adding extraneous features.  If tabula rasa was in a strictly controlled environment it wasnt managed very well, the game gave a lack of fun combat and skills, dumb hybrid aiming system, and a lack of interesting content.

• • Age of Conan Early RAPID GROWTH; 9 New Servers In last 3 days

  • Will the game be successfull is based on: A) theres enough hype to get a large playerbase to start and B) Whether the game is fun and remains fun.

     

    Anyways im glad they didnt get flagshipped and end up releasing a buggy boring product, perhaps other game companies will learn and follow suit.

• • Vista Questions

  • Try linux or something, vista is basically crap.

     

    Actually what features is it you actually want from vista?  Dont tell me you want it just for the theme.

• • PVP - the acceleration and the loss of strategy

  • It is nothing like chess man, most skills are designed with 1 purpose in mind and a 10 year old can figure out what that purpose is.  Freezing someone and kiting them is not "strategy", its more like common sense, I think a game like CS with unlimited variables has more strategy than any mmorpg ever could even if it relies on twitch.

• • Content patch 2.0/2.1 lowdown

  • I bet they have a whole stash of "good" skills they decided not to release when they released the game so they could spew them out as content patches, the spider mine is the first fun sounding skill hellgate has.
