Seem to be having an issue getting it to install on my laptop with windows 8. Anyone else have any issues?

At first I thought the one weapon type per class was stupid, then I remembered I always picked the best weapon for my spec in other games anyway.

It seems like an aesthetic thing. It's not going to be THE issue.

Man I'd like to give this a spin. I've heard nothing but /yawn from testers while the design principles seem so on-point.

Its /yawn for lots of reasons. Having one weapon is really really low on the list, if at all.

You dont get much more variety in weapons in new games anyway; Think WoW paladin/warrior tanks: its a 1h+shield...Not since everquest have you had much variety.

If it was like Cubeworld or like GW2 where weapons affect your attacks and you prefer certain weapons on certain classes, one per class makes sense.

I mean, prior to the last Cubeworld class if you were using the bugged crossbows on the Ranger class, you were looking for 1 exact weapon type out of 12. If it was 1/class it would have been 1 out of 4. Much better odds.

Then again, I believe this game is simply a DIKU with no custom attacks tied to weapons so it has no relevance here.

So for anyone who may or may not be in beta, is this game going to be worth a damn?

Shrugs who knows, This is the only Major MMO that is coming out this year in Nov or Dec 2013, Elder scrolls,eq3 next wont be till Nov or Dec 2014.

I hate the cartoony art style, and even hate worse NcSoft.
However if I get addicted to the gameplay and its fun, with tons of content then maybe there will be hope for this game.
I loved Blizzard long before wow, in warcraft,diablo 1 and 2, starcraft then wow beta happened hated the cartoony art style but loved the game tons of content, was addicting so we see.

Cheers.

I think GW2 is the only MMO that I've played where I've really focused on having a bunch of different types of weapons, but even then, I've figured out which two weapon sets I prefer the most and usually just stick to those.

Really, if they're going to cut corners somewhere, I'd rather they do it the way they are where they're sacrificing weapon diversity in favor of better animations and more unique looking races than having a ton of different types of weapons, but everyone mostly looking the same and crappy animations. It makes more sense to focus the diversity on things people are better going to be able to see.

GW2 sucked because it forced you to use multiple weapons

Games that force you to use only 1 also suck

Let me have a damn choice just once. You've already taken away any semblance of it everywhere else

(no but seriously its not that big of a deal)
