Pretty much everything Hometeam said. It's just another standard mmo with nothing to really grab you.
I agree that it will be f2p soon, probably within the first year. Sad, so much to work with but so much that is just not interesting. I thought the starting area and story was excruciating and it seemed to have borrowed the story from another mmo. |

Reading the beta forums, it seems like the general consensus is that this game is a giant pile of pig shit wrapped up in the guise of some peoples most loved game world.
They really screwed the pooch on this one. |

They have almost half a year to keep working on this. Chill out. Also the abilities having really no limit is something you don't see. Wait and see and stop writing off a game that won't be out until women start wearing short shorts again. Lord.

I uninstalled this game after the Chiefs game yesterday. I think the point Setsuna is that this game is just genericMMO_001. There is nothing to grab the player, nothing that makes you feel like you're actually in an Elder Scrolls environment. The combat is maybe a touch more polished than DDO, but still fail, the classes are undefined on one hand, yet completely linear in another. The graphics were nice, but not impressive, and like HT, I was playing on max settings. In a game that was promised to hugely sandbox, there is nothing but rails guiding you from one step to the next.
Between now and release they can fix bugs, maybe add a dungeon or two, tweak crafting a little bit, and hopefully add a super awesome end game, cause to be honest, that will be the only thing that saves that game. The problem is the game is what it is, which is a boring generic mmo, it already has it's style and theme, and that can't/won't be changed by release. |

But what they do excel at is providing challenging team-oriented PVE scenarios. PVP games can offer more dynamic encounters but are ultimately restricted by the pervasive assumption that both sides must be balanced for a "fair" fight, whereas a PVE game can continually ratchet up the difficulty of an encounter by making the enemy cheat. Some MMOs choose instead to provide mobs that are just giant bags of hit points, but the MMO developers who design more tactical scenarios provide the most challenging and complex group content gaming can offer.

In other words, they released an MMO that failed at the biggest strength of MMOs, and going forward they're focusing on the biggest weakness of MMOs. Sun Tzu would not be impressed. I'm happy they're trying to blaze a new trail, and I hope some of their innovations are carried over into new MMOs. But the changes I liked the best were the smaller iterations they made on genre, and the two biggest risks they took were failures.

Yeah, bummer. That's the most boring part of an MMO; the questing. It's so mundane and boring and it's been that way in every MMO i've played.
Questing needs to be more dynamic and feel more epic. When you hit level cap, you should feel like a legend, not just a sigh of relief that you don't have to do that again. After reading developer interviews from Blizzard, it seems like those guys have given up on questing all together and focus their time on developing end game content. Hell, their next Xpac they're giving everyone a free Level 90 (out of 100) to everyone who buys the xpac. Blizzard does everything they can to speed up the leveling process to get people into end game content as quick as possible. |
