A person's opinion on something isn't dependent on their performance at it, dummy. If you want to hold another generic asian grinder in high esteem because you think you're a pro at pressing buttons in it that's fine, but don't assume the inverse holds true.

More like they're realizing games are shit now, and this one is no exception.

Then wonder why in a world where nearly all entertainment media ever made is at one's fingertips, anybody would waste their time watching the trash that Disney produces in the first place.

The difference is that many of those were still good in spite of (and in some cases even because of) their flaws. They had a charm that can't be explained by novelty or nostalgia alone. Nowadays with all the lessons of the past to guide them, designers are so confident they "know" exactly what...

yeah, looks like a George Floyd monument to me also

He probably asked one on a date; that constitutes violence against women these days.

Probably because the game is shit and encourages it at every turn.

Don't excuse this bomb on those grounds. What kills these "little" developers more often than not is the fact they plain suck fucking eggs at making good games.

Disease-causing organisms thrive in stagnant water. The same holds true in decades-old MMOs as it does in nature.

Live-action is dogshit by definition. Can anyone name a single example that isn't? I can understand fans being desperate for a continuation of a favorite story but...notlikethis.gif

They've been too busy addressing the real issues: https://tbc.wowhead.com/news/spit-emote-removed-on-burning-crusade-classic-ptr-323613

Game is barely in alpha after at least 5 years of development. MMOs no less complex built by smaller teams on smaller budgets and without the benefit of off-the-shelf engines and middleware were already released in less time than this. Eternal crowdfunding sure as hell doesn't light fires under...

Pretty bold strategy to go all-in on crafting, by its very nature the least fun, most tedious, and ultimately unsatisfying aspect of any MMO ever made.

fucking enabler

When you're running an eternal paid beta test, launch is really just another day of the week.

This is a bad sign, not a good one. When the captain is so rudderless he's consulting the dumbass swabbies to plot a course through the treacherous Sea of Failed Designs you know this ship is bound for the whirlpool at the center of the toilet bowl.

Looks like more run-of-the-mill F2P trash but I give them credit for not adopting the usual babyshit aesthetic.

As usual the only ones complaining are the degenerate sociopaths who purportedly rolled Alliance just for faster queues but can't enjoy an advantage unless others are suffering the lack of it.

Hardcoded factions suck ass so this is an improvement to one facet of the game anyway.

Listen to this man. He's played EQ emus for years, he knows degeneracy when he sees it.

This is a contender for worst shit I've ever seen in a videogame.

The devs watched a video of an ARPG from 20 years ago and concluded that running around scooping up shit off the ground was the fun part.

I can't decide who's more responsible for preventing us from having nice things: these degenerates or the bluebie/carebear crybabies, but all of them should have their fingers amputated.

People always invoke this bullshit "diamond in the rough" notion to decouple visuals from gameplay as if it can be commonly applied. Far more often than not, games that have objectively (yes, art is objective) bad graphics/animation are bad games overall.

"Gritty" is just a catch-all that describes anything that isn't this faggot shit: As cartoonish and highly stylized as EQ and especially WoW are, they're still gritty compared to that. While the above seems superficially pleasant it has a quality to it that's cheap and plastic, a...

EQ Next was destined to be this exact sort of trash so it's better it was binned. And that old look vanished forever when the market opened up to kids and the aforementioned middle-aged cat ladies en masse. Budget cartoon worlds populated by non-threatening retarded babyface characters are here...

Just give it another 6 years and I'm sure it'll turn out great. :rolleyes: Also release is such a meaningless concept in the context of these crowdfunded forever alpha early-access perpetual beta shitshows.

you can tell because the art has that veneer of f2p mobile trash

So bank on it being even worse then.

They're amateurs who believe the underlying technical concept (zones) has to be perfectly reflected in the world design.

If "skips" like boosts and fast travel are desirable things what does that really say about the design in the first place? This tired vertical-only progression end/elder game shit and related tropes have been stagnating MMOs for decades now and they've gotta go...but probably won't because devs...

The term "quality-of-life" has really earned its place in the lexicon of soulless buzzwords describing games in the last decade or so. I see it as an admission of greed/sadism for witholding a feature or just plain ignorance of its necessity, take your pick.

https://www.wowhead.com/news/show-your-pride-with-blizzard-pride-apparel-now-on-gear-store-322291 I'm more inclined to believe the TBC launch date is meant to coincide with the start of faggot worshipping month than anything at this point.

Explicitly designing for PvP paradoxically results in not only bad PvP, but typically a bad game overall. Too many games turn out like an overmixed cake because devs are so terrified of any lumps in the batter they'll beat it into a fine, homogeneous state and then wonder why it crumbles after...

^ Guys in here worried about graphics when the game itself isn't compelling enough to warrant playing more than a month. Damn, do we ever get what we deserve. :trump:

Imagine a major western MMO that wasn't a stylistic knockoff of a generic Asian game these days. You'd have to since it doesn't exist.

Where did this queer "drag-weapon- on-ground" technique come from? It's gotta be weeb shit, right?

Think I've said it before but WoW peaked on pservers and Classic was objectively a regression. It played like shit (wonky leeway, absurd spellbatching window, broken class mechanics...), neutered mobs and full-retarded pathing/reset exploits made the PvE easy as shit, the leveling meta (dungeon...

Everyone loves the idea of an MMOMGPLAYERDRIVENOPENWORLDSANDBOX game...until it comes time to actually implement mechanics that support the label, such as the ability to simply manipulate items outside your inventory. Then real visionaries like Steve Sharif and apologists like yourself discuss...
