This isn't surprising from a guy who mistakes criticism for whining.

Apologists supporting shitty conventions are why we can't have nice things.

It won't. It's built upon a foundation of the genre's worst elements: instants, cooldowns, CC and movement-affecting abilities, and AoE. You're limited to 6 abilities in a fight (tied to the equipment you're wearing, so can't be changed while in combat), and all "balancing" is done with only...

If only there were some vast middle ground spanning those two extremes....

Just another well-adjusted Disney alum.

Christ Roberts lol

Did you just assume their gratitude, shitlord?

That'd be appropriate, since stream of consciousness appears to be the dev methodology behind this game. "Yeah EVE Online does that, let's do the same... ...UO had this so we can't go wrong with it... ...those work good in LoL so they will here too..." Because these chefs think that combining...

There's open world PvP too. If you can call a graph of randomly generated, clonestamped zones with static entrances only at the cardinal points of each map a world, that is. Yes, because incompetence.

It's his petty retaliation against having his exit regularly used as an entrance.

Unless something has changed since the last test, these are still just mats that must be combined with others in order to be crafted into the actual item before it can be used. I mention it not so much because it's nonsensical but because it reveals the rationale behind their design decisions...

Then I take back what I said, owing to your clarification: you're wrong as usual. UO had items crafted by players. So what? So does practically every MMO. But UO also had item drops; Albion doesn't: every usable item is obtained solely through crafting because the devs read somewhere that mob...

What you've just described is what Albion lacks; the problem is that Albion doesn't offer anything different to make up for it. It's still the same tired premise of the typical MMO but with none of the frills that aid the illusion that what you're doing has any value. Your hypothetical armor...

Comparing this game to something like (old) UO is just insulting to the latter. Sandbox games have non-linear content and the tools to engage with it. AO is more like a scoopless litter box that lacks even a solitary cat turd as point of interest. What little content it does have is bland and...

This game is over 4 years in dev now and they're still posting concept art updates. Another stillbirth in the making.

I check their patchnotes and see things about recipes and nodes and cooldowns and my eyes glaze over. Send these old horses to the glue factory. Maybe some up-and-coming game devs will sniff it and come up with something interesting instead of the same stale horseshit.

Not in the fucking least. It's as generic and timeworn a fantasy as the game's lore itself.

Dev team photo following today's announcement: Waiting for mere "changes" to fix this game is like waiting for that grass plane to take flight.

Sure, but only a Blizzard would throw its weight around to lobby console manufacturers to "disallow mouse and keyboard and input conversion devices" in scorched-earth fashion. Because what possible use would anyone have for a keyboard and mouse on console other than to "cheat" at Blizzard...

Overwatch director 'objects to the use of mouse & keyboard on console' You will use only the peripherals Blizzard deems acceptable, by god. When will this shit company implode under the weight of its own impudence?

This train just came off the tracks. Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12) • View topic - To the WoW Legacy fans, and Nostalrius community Elysium capitulating by removing all Nost-related data: Our official response to Nostalrius — Elysium will prevail! Even in the best case...

That explains why you're trying to fleece us with lack of content as a selling point.

If you consider how many nerds are gay for Blizzard, it makes sense.

Never seen a pig fly, but apparently that one swims.

Don't forget Walton's brainchild Trammel, the lobotomization of UO. Would've been more humane for EA to euthanize it rather than allow the game to grow into the retarded abomination he's proud of today.

I'd say it's an indication that devs who put an emphasis on "spectacle" are also the ones most likely to forget about substance.

Seems like every "indie" studio these days is lauded for how great they are at communication in direct proportion to how unimpressive their product is.

After seeing @Olscratch's posts, I thought I was in the Terrible Jokes Thread too.

In other words, settle for and continue subsidizing bad games. Nah.

Hard to be excited for 4-year old Korean grinder that's already failed once and will again in under 6 months.

Probably because it's been handled so poorly in so many games that even the godawfulness of arenas/battlegrounds is preferable to it. Or yes, your balls might have stopped working.

Only 99% chance it will be shit compared to 100% if it were being made by a Euro/Asian studio.

Some people just find nearly two irreverent hours of irreverently irreverent non sequiturs too irreverent for their taste.

If they're aiming for niche then someone should let them know they don't need the shitty non-threatening plastic baby character art design.

"Joie de vivre" in this instance translating to "unrestrained faggotry". Milo degenerated into a parody of himself in lockstep with his rise in popularity. One need only look at the director's body of work or read some of his comments to recognize that Gavin's assessment isn't that far off.

Development Recap: Entering 4th year of "beta" testing because we're creatively bereft millenials who're at a loss when our copypasted game mechanics don't work out the way they do in the games we've copied them from

Second-rate asian grinder combat. Thanks globalization.
