It's just people thinking they are funny I think. Though I never understood the gamers naming conventions in any online game. I mean why would you call yourself Angel156861, or Aws01me16896. Do the number represent you in some way? Do they have meaning? Do your friends address you by that particular sequence?
For me the state of the game now is a pretty big issue. Recently I have been playing with the notion that a wipe is looming somewhere around the corner, which isn't the biggest motivator. While I don't really want to defend the people who explain exploits to the public, through MMO sites and Youtube, the issue here isn't…
"And if it's a beta anyways, shouldn't we have, not only the right but, the duty to criticize it? " Exactly, I get that person who made this thread had good intentions, but my view is that if a game is good and you want to thank the developers, buy stuff in the cash shop. Thread such as "Thanks Devs" and so on, accomplish…
I am sorry but I can't agree with your idea that most of the criticism is coming from people who are not interested in the game. Though I can't speak for everyone, I can say that I would not post anything if I were not interested and invested in the game. I would not be so frustrated by how this game is being handled if I…
Beta, or in this case Open Beta does not mean anything today. This is a soft launch. I am a game tester I know what a game in true Alpha or Beta states looks like. A gamer will never for the most part take part in anything that is truly an Alpha or a Beta. What you get these days with MMO's are promotional Beta's and…
That's your opinion. To me the dev's deserve no praise and deserve none of my money. Exploit after exploit, some that have been around for a month. Poor class balance, poor skirmish/dung finder, refusal to put up European servers, poor communication. I like to support devs of the games I play, in this game though even…
Cryptic is a joke, as am I for once again being made a fool by them. Both CO and STO were nigh unplayable when they were released into the wild. Why I thought this game would be different I have no idea. A string of game breaking exploits, terrible communication with the community, terrible pricing in the shop, Dollar=Euro…
I would agree that it has a great combat system, but level design? How so? I've always felt that while the world in TERA looks great, it does not feel like a world, rather like maps.
Dragon's Prophet is still in closed beta, but really fun. It along with Wildstar are probably my most anticipated mmo's. Other than that I would suggest people check out the game Panzar because it's amazing and I am not talking only of the CryEngine3 graphics.
I do not think you can compare traditional games with mmo's. Especially cash shop mmo's. MMO's are a service. The situation as it is now, is basically PWE would like me to pay more for less, pay more even though the service I recieve is far below what Americans get. Right now lag in every area of the game is a problem, not…
Except that many Steam games have their price adjusted, as in $10 is 8 euro or so. Not only that but Steam has two price tiers for Europe. It is ridiculous having the same price for for example Germans and Poles. The Polish minimum wage is below 400 euro, while our neighbours make I belive 4 or 5 times that. I don't live…
