Yeah, there are two problems with the dev cycle taking forever: 1. There's a window and you can miss it. The UE5 upgrade was to give them cutting edge graphics. If they take another 2 (more?) years it wont be. All the 15 and 20 year old zoomers who watch Asmongold and had this put on their...

To give an idea of how long this game is going to be in development, FF14 started development in 2005. It released in 2010, was a disaster, then shut down in 2012 while it was being remade into a game that didn't suck shit. That game (ARR), basically a complete remake aside from the engine and...

This biggest concern is theyve stalled in progress for two years. The MLM scam guy making a game tailored specifically for his interests with zero people who can tell him no is a problem for sure but not necessarily game destroying. At the least, everyone's known this going in for years now...

Simple solution: You dont let the current devs do it. I'm not into this Hardcore shit but it's the perfect example. Outsource it to community members who actually care and are actually talented. The Liquid general manager for MMOs brought this up - just give people the client and let them...

Asmongold went over basically all the recent PVP and PVE arguments while watching a LazyPeon video and I still find the PVE argument wanting. Comes back to my point - game is designed a certain way and you want to tear it up and make it something different. World bosses are not hard, in fact...

There are 1mil+ people who think they want it. What you're suggesting is there aren't 1mil+ people who will hang around after they find out theyre the losers. And youre probably right there You're not turning Ashes of Creation into a game that it isnt at this stage, though. It's already...

This game is built on the archetype of a Lineage/Archeage kMMO PK grinder with a side appeal to western DAOC/Guild Wars RvR types. It's not going to be a game for pure PvErs in the dynamic that we think of them. There are some PvE types who really enjoy crafting and being the person behind...

Respect for Cavill to peace out after they destroyed his show I'm kind of surprised they didnt replaced him with a black guy

Warhammers engine was a pile of shit but it was still a lot of fun for about 2 months. If I can get that out of this game it'll be a win for me and that might be the best hope if they keep putting off showing combat

It needed a lot, A LOT of work coming out of A1. It wasnt impossible that could occur but we've all seen this happen a hundred times where something looks subpar early in development and then never gets better. This...actually seems to be getting better? One thing I felt a year ago was they...

I actually cant get over how much the drannies look like EQ2 models to me. Where they were just ugly and super uncanny valley contrasted to what Blizzard was releasing back then. They've fully transitioned into the out of touch, ossified husk they once replaced.

No thanks

Just from tuning in to streams there's definitely a UI designer or art guy from Aion who worked on this. Way too many things that look similar

Activision was already in the same stage of corporate vulture feeding that Msoft would bring, this is just a consolidation move probably brought on by the need to get rid of Kotick

I worked a contract at a place that could not function unless you came into the office in person and physically walked over to people to remind them to do their fucking job It's a sign of an extremely dysfunctional place where no one gives a fuck

yeah I saw they iced the like 3 guys still left from the infamous picture and he was one of them From the Activision suite perspective that makes sense to me. Just clean house. It's not like any of these fucks are worth their salary anymore. I dont get the renaming the character shit unless...

Have noticed there has been zero actual allegations of what this guy did outside of being friends with Furor

People are mostly just laughing at this and bucketing it with the other shitty recent hires theyve made but I think it's a true picture of where the game is heading. They didnt hire him because he was a shitty MMO dev and that's all they can hire now - they hired him because he's a shitty MMO...

New World has gotten a lot better since Alpha, but it still sucks AoC seems in that same pot for me

Have noticed Kalaran hasnt been nuked off wowhead and presumably the game yet Noobs running Blizzard these days dont even know their history

These people are so fucking pathetic. I cannot believe they think airing this laundry is a good look or that anyone should give a shit about it. Like sure, this girl theyre talking about fits 100% the archetype I mentioned before with the girl who used to work at Riot. You can tell after one...

I know people who are playing it just like I knew people who were playing it for years when I had access to the alpha but never downloaded it because it was a bad version of a game in a genre I had no interest in (BUT HOW DID I KNOW?!?!). I checked it out and had it on as background with...

Point is Furor and the toxic males made a damn good game once upon a time. Them playing grab ass probably contributed to it turning to shit but the they/thems in that picture have never and will never make something worth a damn. Ghostcrawlers new MMO is DOA whether he makes it as an apology...

I wasnt making a prediction. This game has been in "beta" for like half a decade. Its problems have been known for some time and nearly everyone who has played an MMO in their life has had access to one of its builds. Correct. There is no point to playing the game after you push max level...

Tried to tell you guys this thing had a 4 day shelf life (maybe more like 5 or 6 if they manage to remove all the obviously exploitable powerlevelling shit) but I guess you kinda gotta live that out to see it in action. To the game's credit there's a very nice honeymoon period somewhere around...

I mean there's some element of that but on the male end of the spectrum you have the nerdy guys who mean well but are just socially maladjusted and dont understand that there's a time and a place to talk about how much you like giant anime titty and your workplace isnt one of them and then there...

Mist's lesbian delusions aside, I think she's pretty spot on regarding where Blizzard went wrong with their hiring decisions based on the interactions I've had with a girl who used to work at Riot. You go out of your way to hire young, hyperactive, attention-whore types who maybe put up with...

Streamers were abusing crafting quests by taking only those, abandoning the ones that werent crafting quests and waiting for refresh to get new crafting quests. Then theyd run around outside their town for a couple minutes chopping trees down and spend the rest of the 5 minute CD waiting for...

Nah, the problem is theyve made the "M" too Massive as technology allowed them to do so What drew most of us to MMOs in the first place was that status in a community. You go out and level or quest or whatever it is you did in your first MMO, and in the early levels you'd play with or see...

I actually think one of the few things that makes the game work is its limitations. The world feels large not because it is but because it's a pain in the ass to get anywhere. You have limited resources, at least when you start out, and have to make do with what you have. There is a lack of...

Blizzard's a shit company and I hope they burn, Furor is definitely a huge asshole and it's probably not unrealistic that he's more than that but I'm less inclined to take this seriously when every accuser is a tranny or a pronoun or both

The big issue, and I'm waiting to see how much if at all they've done regarding this, is that once you got to end game (last year) all the bit parts added up to a big nothing and the content wasn't just bad, it was nonexistent Like you saw they had the intent that OP low level zerg vs 1 weapons...

I've been watching a dude whose lv40+ because he got fed crafting mats for faction quests and the game seems basically unchanged from last year except they added a few extra weapons, removed some broken things (PHOOOOO! and stagger) but left others in. Like, they removed the broken XP from...

The good to take away is that it seems like every person who has ever touched a MMO in the last two decades has given this a whirl in one of its million beta tests. There is still a sizeable market interested in the white whale that is the Next Good MMO, it's more a question of if anyone can...

The game had a 2 day honeymoon period last year, and about 4 days before you realize it's shit. I'm curious if that's changed, but not that curious

Yeah, those sorts of very basic design elements being bad even this early is not encouraging but theres enough encouraging things to hope that theyre responsive to feedback and fix them

The "action combat" thing seems DOA and they probably should just ditch it and incorporate the elements they want into tab target. Also, promote the environment design guy and put him in charge of the UI

Watched some streams yesterday and honestly, after the initial shock where everyone realized this wasnt going to shit unicorns in Alpha I think this looks like it has promise. There's a soul to the game. It needs a TON of work, a TON of polish and probably a fair amount of system redesigns to...
