Re: rose-colored glasses (Q-Q--) said by Krisnatharok:said by TheThing:said by Archivis:I think we'll see our group continue to subscribe, but I can definitely see that people need something else to supplement their game time with than just playing WoW every second of their spare time.
I'd like for it to be something like an FPS, but not some insta-gib nonsense. I think some co-op would be fun.
firefall Firefall is a great idea, as are GW2/SWTOR/TSW. I may go back and check out all four at some point, but right now I've been consumed by my Crysis 2 playthrough--shit is maxed at ultra with all DX11 goodies on at 2560x1440, it's gorgeous, and the storyline rocks. I get the feeling hardcore WoWers would never ever transition to GW2.
SWTOR has such a bad rep, I think that would be a stretch too.
TSW doesn't that have beast mode system requirements?
my impression of firefall so far is a FPS WoW... i can see it getting huge. When you guys start a guild there be sure not to forget me! It's supposed to have WoW-like raids and everything. From what I've played of it, and from what it's supposed to be I'm pumped! *drooling* I can see this being a huge hit with WoWers... and be fun to get everyone on vent/skype/mumble |

What about the online D&D game? Anyone know anything about that? I remember being on the wizards.com site and seeing an ad for it. |

The game, despite a plethora of faults, did some things right. And by right I mean really well. It was a good effort but too little to late. I have fond memories of my short time with it, just like Rift and Age of Conan and every other MMO that has come and gone (or remains in some semblance of what it was).

I cant disagree with you more. It was bad out of the gate, from concept to implementation, it was bad. Bioware does single player console games great, MMOS.....um, not so much. The only thing it got right was the cinematics. |

Balance and Progression > Story and Cinematics - who woulda thought?
Pure foolishness in my opinion. Game was dropped at the perfect time between expansions, they copied WoW almost word for word and had potential to keep a lot of WoW's subscriptions, that's where the "did some things right" ends however.
It's one of the largest gaming flops I've seen, keeping their budget in mind. |

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. |

Balance was my biggest issue. The end game content that existed at launch and what was released not long after was actually enjoyable in my opinion though the standard "not enough to do at launch" argument obviously applied.
I thought questing was the most enjoyable of any MMO I've played, both solo and group, Flash Points and Operations were enjoyable, especially story heavy ones, the three launch Warzones weren't bad but man, that fucking PvP balance. Sweet shit Bioware had no god damn idea what the fuck they were doing. And yeah, the engine that game ran on was a bloody abortion. But, once again, I'll continue to lament over what could have been.

My kids and I played it. i just never got in it, though the kids go back to it ever so often. It's free to play. Though you have to pay to unlock new lands/dungeons/certain items/character types.
But over all not bad for a free to play game.
Give it a try, it costs nothing.
