Yeah they're just so fortunate to witness every silly thought better left to the domain of the imagination be realized to generate some more shitty crossover consoomer content.

Because they're too risk-averse to change what they don't understand in the first place.

Jokes aside, they did that years ago with shitty mobile puzzle games like Candy Crush.

Because that strategy is working so well for us in every other area touched by this contagion, huh.

Yeah, a team of zeroes.

Because mutual self-congratulation is the order of the day among our modern "creatives"; no back is left unpatted and by god it won't go unnoticed either. The fact that half of them also made dedications to their dogs further illustrates the sad sort of people in the game dev business.

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...
