Watched a few different Beta videos and it looks like another dumbed down game made for people who can't tie their shoes and breathe at the same time. One guy kept on going on about how hard the Elementalist is to play because of all it's abilities, doesn't look any more complex than palying a Chanter to me. Every class can heal??? Bleh, ok for PvE I guess. I'll probably give it a try as usual and get tired of it by the time I cap.

I think like most people I got really excited for this game. Then my excitement died down as I read a bit into it.

The more I watch, the more I read, the less I want to play. Oh man.

Lol another button smashing game with no tactics... and 3 factions? Hah looks like they made it cry baby proof for ppl that whine about other realms classes cuz there all the same... Screw trying to satisfy the little kids and make a mmo that requires a little thought. That is all

no stupidly op'd gear. I can see why some people hate GW2. LOL.

Doesn't your ass get sore talking out of it so much? Gear is DAoC isn't particularily powerful compared to most games, it's not going to win you a fight if you can't play your toon. WoW on the toher hand.... And how do you know there's no OP'd gear in GW2?

lol because I read. No, TOA artifacts wont affect rvr! Jacobs' old song and dance.

Lol!^^^ Do you even play daoc?

He dont, and neither do i, but i still think he is a tool. He never managed to get the ML's or Artifacts on his ranger becuse no one liked him so thats why he cried about ToA so much.

EDIT: but tbh i dont understand why he needed ML's or Artifacts as he towerhumped to RR10 anyway.

Lol my favorite stalker! I hope GW2 does well, but I wish no harm to Daoc. I simply think that GW2 will lift many good things from Daoc and ignore a few bad parts.

I had artifacts btw. Yet, you are correct. No one like me. Bad hygiene!

Unless it has great PvE, its market is severely limited no matter how brilliant the design. And lets be honest, the chances of brilliant design are 1 in never.

PvP games are doomed to a cycle of:


1. OMG PvP is so awesome I can't wait to try this next game 500k-1 million+ boxes sold

2. People realize that in PvP you lose 50% of the time, losing sucks

3. Subs die steadily.

4. Expansion announced. People come back OMG PvP is so awesome I remember this one fight I had it was epic!

5. People realize (again) that in PvP you lose 50% of the time. Awesome fights are 1 in 100.

6. Subs die again.


WoW is a unique phenomenon and most importantly A PVE GAME and once people get that through their heads and start setting realistic expectations of success we'll stop seeing the "next big MMO" super-hyped failures that we get every 6-12 months.
