Most people don't play huttball anymore. They play get my 4 dps medals/4 healing or tank medals.

Most people just don't understand what they are fighting. They assume everything they are fighting is a Sorc because of the lightning. You get attacked by one that popped out of stealth and get your butt handed to you in melee. You fighting another and can't damage him, he slowly wears you down. You fight one and his lightning is hitting you for mega damage. You think it is all one class and cry nerf. When in fact, one was an assassin. Yeah, he lightninged you. One was a healer. The other was a dps that stepped on a red buff, used an expertise buff with his 60% crit skill. If he is glowing red, LOS him or CC him till it wears off, don't try to fight him because he is taking 20% less damage and doing 20% more. Figure out what you are fighting first, then use your strengths vs their weakness. You fight a dps a lot different than a healer. A Healer you need to time your CC and burst better.

No way the engine can handle that.

There is no such thing as open pvp so I know you are lying.

As soon as GW2 is released...90% of the people playing will leave. This is a gap-filler.

Except EA knows nothing about making a good MMO....Trying to copy WoW is a failed attempt. In case you haven't noticed, people are really really sick of WoW style MMOs. Why do you think every WoW clone has failed?

Whatever happen to MMOs when they had 3000 people per server

Going to be funny when the ranked people that got all their gear play in un-ranked and grief people.

There is no social aspect to destroy. We don't even have server forums.

Who really buys credits? Not sure how they stay in business.

How can you have open pvp when one side has 500 people and the other 20 people? It just doesn't work in a two faction system. Unless they limit the amount of people in the pvp zone, it won't work. If they do that, you will have 480 people waiting to get in while 20 are botting inside not to lose their spot. Third faction might help, but I don't know if they want to have an sand-people expansion or robot army one.

After 5000000000 times of the same WF, people tend not to care. Don't hate the player, hate the game......TORTANIC

You really can't have open pvp with a two faction system where one side has huge numbers over the other. Warhammer and Rift kinda proved that. Servers in warhammer usually died within weeks of one side dominating. Open pvp in rift is even worse, usually one side with 40 people beating on one guy trying to do is his daily. Best they could do it limit the amount of people per side in pvp zones, but to many people would complain about the long que's and it really wouldn't be open pvp.

Think most people would agree...pvp in this game is crap.

For about a week, then he will be bored again

All I know is my 12 year old played Minecraft before Tortanic. He tried Tortanic and found it was lame. Plays Minecraft. So Minecraft must be better.

You could look at every MMO ever released after WoW and see the trend. Pretty much, game makes all these promises. Dev's never listen to beta testers. They have very limited open beta, they don't want anyone getting to max level just the newbies areas, game goes live, people play, people find all the bugs, imbalances, no endgame. People voice, dev's don't listen, people quit, more people quit because servers suck, more people quit because another MMO comes out. Tortanic becomes running joke because it actually worse than Craphammer.

Never played a Bugware game before Tortanic...never will again.

Nice Bugware made Tortanic....I like that.

don't worry, once gw2 is released the few that are left can have your ghost-town. The rest will move on and if GW2 doesn't deliver....they will get the Tortanic wrath.

They made the Tortanic....the only game in history to not deliver more than warhammer.

Pretty much what someone needs to come up with is a big ole game of Age of Empires. People gather resources, build factories, build bases, launch strikes, destory bases, rebuild, fight real or NPC players (you never know if someone is a player or NPC), raid dungeons, crafting seige engines, etc. Pretty much everything at level 50 is tied into the war effort in one form or another. For balance, you can either adjust the amount of resources need to do stuff or add a third computer faction. A droid army that fights everyone and attacks the stronger of the two factions to keep things fair. Maybe have some relic or something in a huge base that can be taken if the server coordinates a well-planned strike. Of course the droid army will want it once it is taken and throw endless waves of attacks. Give some sort of rating based on the number of days the item is held.

Tortanic is still running full speed ahead.

It wouldn't be so bad if the map was bigger and had more people. One leap and sprint can cover the entire map, kinda lame. I like the matches where people just fight. Be nice to have a pvp map once in awhile in a MMO.

A little Godfather 2 there?
