You put in the time and actually play it to 60 and do that grind, present the good and the bad and use words in actual sentences instead of just spouting exaggerated and unbalanced shit and you get credibility.
Who would have thought it?
Priceless indeed that you think your trolling is on par with Peon's review.

Every MMO I've ever played has things I enjoy and things I don't. It's how prominent my likes and dislikes are that determine how long I stay.
I enjoyed it quite a bit in those 9/10 score range levels Peon talks about - and I liked his breakdown of his experience into 3 scores. There's lots to like and it made a very good impression on me.
Now that I'm in the watermark grind phase in a server with 500 peak on weekends it's not so much fun. Feels like a chore to play.
The game is not only just more fun in the early levels, it's also much more fun and engaging when the server is hopping with lots of people at different levels.
I pity anyone who picks it up now and wants to do low level group content. The game is in dire need, as Peon mentions, of scaled dungeons that give incentives (like loot and rewards that are level appropriate) for 60s to want to do Amrine, Starstone, etc. And that totally dumb orb key to enter dungeons system really needs to go. I've been bashing that system since it was first announced.

While all the NW defenders were still in the "Honey Moon" phase, I said EXACTLY what his first con was and that was NW has a lot of copy and paste assets. I got attacked, name-called and all types of stupidity because I was actually right and you knew it.
You don't understand. It's delicious watching people take that walk of shame and try to find reason in how vehemently they were defending this title. Screaming in the face of logic because you wanted this game to be everything for you so badly.
Like JSH said. There is a tendency whenever defending your hobby or your passion to overlook all the negatives and only focus on the positives.
All you people who got their blood pressure boiling over Archage 2.0..was it worth it?
Everything in the video is exactly what Scorch and others including myself have said but again the need to be right always wins and the weak, frail ego of so many of you cannot take the idea of being wrong about something. I will never understand, and I feel sorry for your wives.
Scorch you are better than me because I don't have the patience to go forever once I say it, I wait to see if I'm right and usually I am.
Take your win, sir...
To those who can wear the shoe, Yes, I'm being major petty.
Yes, it's well deserved.
Good day.

Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
Grats on winning whatever the fuck you think you've won lol.
Meanwhile I'm just starting to level up my 2nd character because that early part of the game is a 9/10 or did you miss that part of the video? You did watch the video didn't you?
You must have cringed in the early part when he talks about all the positives. Positives that kind to need to be acknowledged if you want to have any credibility when bitching about the negatives. That's how rational people discuss games.
Just another useless post from you stroking your own ego.

Crafting and gathering that are well done and very useful .."
So if you are behind the curve you will stay there
And most likely NEVER take part in the premier RvR features of this game
400-500 players (per Side) signing up for Wars now if you are not of the highest level and gear score you will not participate , 95% of the server will be locked out of this .. Terrible design decision .. to not have tiers like DAOC and War, that matter to the War effort .. This is going to send players to other games very quickily..

Give it time and they will turn things round, the level of negative hysteria about the game is as overly dramatic as the hype was. Which of course gaming media loves and caters for. As players we need to stand back from that, trying not to be caught up in the media cycle of acclaim and dismay that is a hallmark of the media today.
Unfortunately I don't think they will be able to turn it around. Some of the design decisions there's no coming back from without a radical overhaul.
Good bones my ass.

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
Gdemami absolutely not being an armchair developer
Like the orb dungeon thing. Only a AAA asshole would even try that. Literally everyone on this site would know better. Same for rampant gear switching and the whole gear score bullshit, pvp system. Soo many bad designs in one place.
these aren't the mistakes of an experienced and talented designer. These are the mistakes of a nepotistic no talent hack hire who has never read a mmo forum, played a game or even understand people.
its a pretty game though...have to give props to the art team.
