Yfelsung Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Dragons Techno-Hobbits Elves Furries I played this game already All the gameplay innovation in the world don't mean much when you've put it in the most generic fantasy setting I've ever seen. Also, as a lifelong tank, I don't see any place for me in the fight. If I can't tank, I got no reason to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jederix Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I raid, therefore, it is the only thing that matters in MMOs. The above is all this ignorant thread was meant to get across. No one cares, OP, you aren't the "voice of the majority of MMO gamers" you seem to think you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But clearly you cannot defend it graphically so you had to fall back to something unrelated. Thank you for reinforcing my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxonLuxor Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Just b/c you like to raid does not mean that everyone does and it is not the definitive MMO characteristic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parthis Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 You've shown a level 18 world boss from TOR, an encounter from an unreleased GW2 demo designed to impress people (i.e. a "marketing video") and one of the final bosses in top tier raiding from the current expansion of WoW... and we're supposed to draw conclusions from this? You're delusional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sech Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) But when you reach level 50 there isn't much else to do. If this game doesn't have good raiding it will fail. If you think I'm wrong look at AOC. There was tons in that game to do, until you reached level cap. No raids, instances weren't done, didnt have gear. Game failed. You're right, maybe no everyone likes to raid. The majority do actually, and if the majority leaves your game will fail. Start caring about the whole picture, we all want the game to succeed and it won't if only 30k people are subbing. these videos mean nothing and he hasn't drawn any conclusions or even made a point. Some of the people complaining currently about the game have some points, but they are so like...not smart...that they can't really maintain or back those points up. That's fine though, a lot of those people are the people in WoW who liked to pretend like they were hardcore (they weren't) they ran the 10 man heroics that were easy mode (they did) and never ran the older hard content (40's) and (25's) back when it was hard. New WoW is dumb. Edited December 30, 2011 by Qishari removed insults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Art style is just WoW, shinier. Hence, graphically, it does nothing for me. Meanwhile, right now, my SWTOR character looks like a total grim-dark bad ***. Having more polygons in a model don't mean crap when you make a stupid looking model with those polygons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabloosh Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) I found out GW2 marketers are clickers. Click-ity(this is seriously censored?) click click! I'm fighting a boss like a pro!

Yfelsung Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I found out GW2 marketers are clickers. C******y click click! I'm fighting a boss like a pro! Click! The more I see GW2, the more it seems to be "The game for people that suck at MMOs". Can't tank? We have no tanks! Can't heal? We have no healing classes! Can't keep track of 10 abilities? It's okay, we only have 8! Of all my MMO friends, 2 are very excited for GW2. Those 2 are the ones we don't bring on raids because they're terrible.

Sindorin Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 They werent broken a minute ago.. hmm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1JfSbKjHHI&feature=related skip to 1:50 Looks like a shallow singleplayer combat engine and UI. One thing I hated about GW was the fact you cannot use all of your abilities. You have to pick and choose. GW2 is the same: Diet MMO. Half the options and features, and half the calories.

Actually that was multiplayer but w/e... though GW2 will have access to all abilities now. Again this was a topic about the graphical comparison.
