Yes. The closer we get to the reveal, the more I think there'll be actiony/DCUO like combat in Norrath. I should probably just come to peace with the inevitable and the fact that Ut or Draegen will chuckle as they hurl the monkey poop at me because of my well known loathing of actiony combat. DCUO was fun for a month, sure, but I couldn't play it for 2 years...
That's what I said. I've talked to him by email on occasion, about none SOE related things. I'm sure I could do the same to smedley if I wanted. But you used that as proof that you have some kind of inside source. You don't. You are just a pathetic nerd.
That's the problem, your track record says nothing, you are just a negative nancy. Your 'predictions' are no more accurate than the billion other spotty 13 year olds who said, "Thiz gaem is going 2 sux".
So funny how you get so mad when someone calls you out on your laughable mystical projections. You are a giant tool. I am laughing at you right now, in real life. Although I do feel guilty.

Predicting a game is gonna suck has just slightly less odds of it happening then predicting the sun will come up tomorrow. Being a doomsayer is an easy business and the only real reason more do not do it is because so many of us are desperate for a good game to come out. I pray this game is decent because I really want a MMO to enjoy for longer than a month or two....
it's only been stated a hundred times by everyone involved with the game. i actually believe them about this one point. whether or not it will be a GOOD non WoW clone is another matter entirely.

Yep; they've laid the 'sandbox' stuff on so thick, they can't possibly think they could get away with the game being a themepark with just a couple sandboxy features, and expect people to go along with it. So yeah, I'm sure it'll be different, I'm just worried it'll be a shitty kind of different.
They've also said you'll be getting all the content you know and love because players want that, and if they are giving me a progression of dungeons from 10 to be max and some raids after that it sounds like I won't be playing this game in any kind of a sandbox way. Ill be camping dungeons from ten to max and worrying about making my house all cool after that.
Edit: which is fine I'd be sad if I couldn't explore dungeons for xp I guess I imagined sand box meaning something other than a clear progression of group zones to level In.

But previous historicals are the best indicator of future performance. Even if SOE created a perfect game, what do you think the monetization would look like? Do you have any confidence that SOE wouldn't shit all over their customers like they have in the past?
Contrast SOE's customer service history with their entire game catalog against what Square-Enix has done with FFXIV. Here's a game that was a complete pile of shit at release. Did they follow the age old SOE model of moving their resources (and management) to their next crack project while dressing it up with a "Play Your Way" model only to exploit the remaining player-base while riding their world famous IP? Nope.
What Square-Enix decided to do was pretty remarkable from a customer perspective. They shored up their game by firing/demoting the team responsible and bringing in fresh blood. They then didn't charge anyone to play it for a year, while they tried to make it bearable. During that time, they said "fuck it" and decided to completely rebuild the game from the ground up, create a story-line the detailed the game's transition, decided not to charge the people who bought the original game the box cost for the re-release, gave the legacy players a discounted sub rate of $9.99, AND transitioned their old character to the new game.
Regardless of what you think of the game, that has my respect as a gamer. Personally, I was cold to FFXIV until I played it. Then I read about the steps they've taken to improve the game and its relationship with its customers. Any company that's willing to take it in the shorts to put out a more polished product, is a game that I can look forward to, support, and "predict to win". After seeing that type of customer attention, I question why, after being let down so many times, that so many people come back to the SOE well. What is going to be different this time?

This hornets best has been properly stirred.
The last 2 pages have been awesome.
Anyone want to do some jumping puzzles with me in Guild Wars 2?
(I will say this though. The online content system is going to piss some people off... I cannot wait to see the reactions when you fish in a barrel morons (Qwerty and Tad10) find out you can sell content you create... For station coins to purchase other store stuff with)

Its called pride and shame. Something that the Japanese still have and is missing from the western world.
