Because buying a game he will probably never play leaves him $60 out of pocket?
TSW - AoC - Aion - WOW - EVE - Fallen Earth - Co - Rift - || XNA C# Java Development
Which is fair since by then we'll all know what the content is like and not guess on it.
The only beta testers are people who have ALREADY bought the game. (Pre-purchase, not pre-order.)
So nothing to cancel. Congrats.
Yes, and like all games, ppl will quit , or cancel, I hope every single 12 million ppl that played wow, makes a thread on why they did so.
I would aslo like to see a 7 billion people on earth who will not play this game, tell us why , be quite exciting.
We get it , the game is not for everyone, in fact theres a good chance the game is not for me, but ill try it, if im having fun , ill keep playing if not ill quit , and not make a thread on why i quit.....
So much irony in that last sentence.
Also, I'm going to go ahead and call you out on not having actually played the game. Going to go so far as to say your first sentence is complete bullshit as well.
Did I miss something w/ PlanetSide 2?
No. You just made that up. Bottom line is, some of us like both games. So we see who goes to what forums and how they behave much differently there than they talk here... And we know what the conversations are... And, by-and-large, there is no huge fear (though some trolling about it) regarding F2P.
I've also seen quite a few people in this thread who are currently on their high horse who go to the TSW forums and troll them. I didn't respond to any of them, but seeing such hypocritical behavior is amusing.
So, at best it's a pot/kettle situation.
thread should've ended here. can anyone actually take the OP seriously after that old thread?
"I really wanted this game to succeed and be great but I cant lie to myself"
this has got to be the biggest horsedung i've ever seen someone post on here and that's saying something.
It's already been pointed out multiple times in this thread. Instead of attacking people, why do you just skim through the thread instead?
The OP said that he's going to play TSW instead. That's why all of the "have fun in TSW" posts. Did you even read the OP or did you simply jumped at the chance to insult the community?
He kneejerked it. Apparently the popular thing is to belittle a community while making yourself sound above it all. I see a lot of that going around.
RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan and Paul Gray.
Which is sadly true. Even LOTRO is moving away from story to raiding and dailies.
I like both games. LIke it or not, combat is far more similar than different. So, no high-horses please.
I would say all MMOs. People are people and some of them are jerks. At times, all of us will fall into someone else's 'jerk' category no matter how 'reasonable' or 'honest' we may think we are...
It's part of the human condition. Sometimes you just act the fool...
There's no other MMO worthy to play but GW2. So the OP is essentially wasting his time.
No. I didnt see that part (multitasking) but my previous readings of the GW2 "my preciuous" threads was what I was really leaning towards.
And I dont think I have ever witnesed a "community" like the Gw2 one (MAYBE TOR back last year) but GW2 is not really an MMORPG contentwise.
Oh, and I will be playing too. Just like GW 1 its a nice break from my regular MMO for a casual few hours a week. I like the concept but it isnt anything as its being painted as (the savior, etc.) its actually kinda shallow....Which is okay.
It is so strange, I can't remember the last time I saw a post from a GW2 "fan" using this term. In fact, the only time I see it used regularly is when people are making pot-shots at the GW2 community.
"Loading screens" are not "instances".
Your personal efforts to troll any game will not, in fact, impact the success or failure of said game.
I am paraphrasing (as I said I am miulti-tasking) but words such as "revolutionize MMOs" and such - "new model" etc. ... Its the gist of their words. Again, if you havnt seen this attitude I know not what to say.
Also, AGAIN- We will have to necro some threads a few months down the line. GW2 isnt a bad game, its a very casual game that will not hold interest long term like a standard MMO SHOULD. No monthly (as the OP said) is because they could possibly charge on for whats offered. That doesnt make it "bad" but in a few months people will be bitching they paid a Bocx Price for what should be a F2P game. This is based on this crazy hype.
I am fine as I KNOW what to evxpect. Something to play in small spurts. Others think they are getting a full fledged MMO andits not going to be prety.
Opinion is an opinion.
But it doesn't mean they can't be wrong...as in the case of the OP.
1 - ArenaNet has always maintained their stance that dynamic events is what will flagship GW2. I can't ever recall them talking about raids. And when questions were asked about it, it was always replied with something to do with dynamic events. [mod edit]
2 - I don't know which cash shop you were looking at, but it obviously wasn't GW2. I'm wracking my brain here, but for the life of me....I don't recall seeing a legendary weapon for sale on there.
Now, they could add things that are considered P2W in the future, who knows, [mod edit]
3 - Pointless zerg? /looks at WoW, WAR..../laughs.
No ladder? No rankings? Uhhhh...pretty damn sure GW and ArenaNet were the first to host actual rewarding tournaments and tourneys. You don't think that won't carry over to GW2?
4 - End game content. Hmmm. So you're telling me you've played all the way to level 80? How were the other dungeons? Did you finish the legendaries? How many acheivements did you complete? What was your highest sPvP ranking? And most of all......how was Orr?
[mod edit]
I'm curious as to why you think this. I rather liked the fact that in one weekend of playing I got to level 13 in a 1-15 zone I almost finished, did no crafting or storyline and had 3% of the total map discovered. Of course we cannot see the deeper content other than knowing the mechanics (hearts become less and then go away for DEs, etc.) so that is indeed a ?.
Maybe you like raid or PvP content so you don't see GW2 offering much to you but these statements were kind of vague.
I feel like the person who you quoted =P
It IS mediocre- But with no sub its a fun diversion for a few hours a week or during downtime. The people who are buying the hype and thinking this will be like a standarfd MMO are going to be upset- It isnt. Its a casual, few hours a week, mess around with kinda game. Its shallow and made to play in short spurts.
This is the TRUTH.
If you look past this insane hype and know what you are really getting- You will be happy with it.
I have purchased a mediocre game- But with no sub I am cool with that .
And what is your definition of a full fledged MMO? Every person I've seen say something like that come up with half empty answers.
And please remember, games like WoW took years to get to where it is now in terms of content and systems.
In your opinion what is a full fledged mmo? Since there are a whole crud full of people I think it would classify as one. Perhaps you just meant an mmorpg? If so, to me a full fledged MMORPG has true adventure and this is the first of it's kind. Perhaps you think that without raids or gear grinding it isn't an mmorpg? I think that most all rpgs hold their roots from P&P games and I can't recall any that I played having either of those.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
