Feedback from a veteran MMO player

edited May 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
I played WOW for 6 years, Rift for 2, and GW2 since day 1. I played competitive PvP,
and was a hardcore raider. Based on my years of experience, I wanted to add some input
on my experience in NW. First of all, I have really enjoyed the game, but wanted to input
some thoughts:

1) The lack of teleport back to the city makes no sense. Worse yet, a scroll cost 4k AD.

2) The lack of gold generation Im fine with. What I am not fine with, is going through 50+
pots in Castle Never. In order to run this on a regular basis, your gold gets completed quickly.

3) I love the PvP and combat. In order to promote more people playing, there should be a
small silver reward for playing, along with a minor amount of AD. This would allow a way
to at least get some income, while at the same enjoying the PvP aspect.

4) The LFG function for dungeons is silly. More times than not, the game starts with no tank and
no cleric.

5) You should be able to pay and reselect race. This has been brought up before.

6) The character graphics, along with most items are lackluster. There should be more effort put
into this. If you look at the greatswords in GW for instance, many were awesome and gave that look
of power.

Just my 2 coppers for now. Love the game so far though!

    Why is it, that this game is making me consider getting mists of pandaria? XD I hate WoW and left it for a good reason, but dayum... they're changing my perspective one monumental mess at a time.

    That's okay, what's 4k AD worth now? :rolleyes:

    Ill take the bait Midnight. Im over 40 and Ive been playing since Bard Tales 1 was
    on an Apple IIe. Outside of the mentioned ones above, Ive played every game worth
    playing on the PC.

    How about you? If you want to nickpick my term, I guess it was worth my 10 seconds
    to post my credentials.

    Title states Veteran MMO PLAYER. OP starts off with WoW as his first MMO *Facepalm more likely slightly used mmo player

    FYI do some D8D background knowledge. Gold was always lacked in DD. 50 pots aint much. better than casual nerfing then entire expierence. I enjoy the difficulty. even if i have to get 1 gold to buy a handleful of pots

    DnD? Lol, I played that game back in the 80s so no need to research. Im not sure where you claim
    that gold was an issue. Unless you are NOT referring to the paper and pencil.

    You get some of the worst bunch when a game is f2p with all of the belittling, snide comments. The OP obviously has a lot of MMO experience and history and instead of discussing his thoughts, some people feel the need to criticize.

    Someone define Veteran for me please? Is it the amount of games you have played? Is it the time spent playing 1 game?
    Us older folks sure do get a chuckle out of reading these forums full of ego.

    A veteran.... started with wow... you are not a veteran .... Ultima online was and will always be the best mmorpg (not going to list all i've played). Other than that I love the game so far too to bad it lacks of a real open world PvP.. I love to quest scouting around for other players thjat may want to kill me....or to kill ofc ^^)

    Your credentials do not make you a veteran. Sorry to burst your bubble. I don't even consider myself a veteran. I'm not a huge min/max person and I've played Meridian 59, The Realm [Online], beta tested Ultima Online, Everquest, Everquest 2, Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, every expansion of World of Warcraft including some beta in most of them, City of Heroes, Rift, DCUO, FFXI, FFXIV, and many other various I probably forgot to mention... Just play to have fun.

    Besides, all your points are blatantly obvious and there are much more detrimental issues to be addressed.

    What is the requirement to being a veteran? Oh...there isn't one. Everyone's opinion is just as valued and important as the next. Stop trying to show how many games you've played and keep to the topic.

    Ninjamonkee1. how did you enjoy EQ2, was it any good? I started my gaming career with Everquest. Shortly after beta and I took that game to the extreme raiding 7 hour days With Forsaken Realm guild. Never did try EQ2. I went back to EQ last year. Man o man is it nothing like it used to be.

    Well said Unim. I would bet my considerable career that 99% of these posters are kids
    who like to troll over actually answer the original content of the OP.

    OK kiddies, you win. Im not a veteran. My bad. I thought playing games on PC for over
    20 years meant something. Im wrong, you are totally right. You win. Your my hero bro!

    Now I can spend more time seeing whats going to happen with this exploit issue.
