That's because we're all jaded old school fucks that don't want to play the same terrible game that is made over and over again for the past 8 years.

There is nothing new here and what is old and boring seems to be done worse than normal.

Maybe I'll eat my words later on, it is just those early levels are excruciating.
I can understand that, I played since the original UO ffs. But only a hand full of games have made me feel like the game was an actual world. I really like that a lot, and even fewer introduce a story that isn't 100% theme park feel.

All of these characters will be wiped when the game goes live, right? Because I kind of just randomly picked a server/world.

Yeah Phase 3 will be wiped, Phase 4 (open beta) will not be wiped unless its required due to a bug or something.

Well the game runs infinitly better on my PS3 than it does on my PC,.. but the gamepad is just messy. I couldn't even figure out how to get my other actions onto my bar with a controller

So I noticed a small patch a bit ago, and I created a new character and was able to skip the opening cutscene. They must have patched this in tonight.

Is there a way to check the map to see where I'm supposed to go? The starter city is bigger than I thought it'd be.

Some of the npc dialogue is really risque by most mmo standards. My favorite so far has been being told "once you go black, you never go back" and that I have my "thumb up my arse".

Pretty good so far. Like 1000 times better then that shit they tried to release before. Still some obvious consolitis in the UI but its not enough to be annoying. Some nitpicks with cutscenes(focus on face/character with mouth moving but no text, animations to hand things you your character but there's nothing there etc), but nothing to really distract from playing.

Ran into one thing I am stuck on now. Level 14 quest called "to Guard a Guardian"(think its like end of the story quest for the first part). First part is pretty easy, but the 2nd part holy cow. The one "summoned pet" hits me for 1/4 of my life in a ranged attack, and the shadow mage guy hits for 1/3 of my life with a ranged spell. And you can't group up for the quest at all, has to be solo'd.

If you are talking about the quest i think you are yeah the quest is a bitch, On the second part don't attack the mage and buy some antidotes, the demon will hit you with a poison attack that you have to cure with antidote, then you just have to keep fighting and hang on, because at a certain point a NPC will show up and kill both mobs for you.

Targeting mobs while lots of people around, like doing a fate, on the ps3 is a major pita. You cycle through like 20 people, get to the mob, try to hit it once but it is usually dead by then since it took you so long to cycle to it through all the players around you.

They really need to fix that.

Hmm ok. I was just fighting summoned thing but at 64 dmg a ranged attack he would kill me. Though might of been from poison, will try that.

Little 3-foot tall wench in the desert city in charge of the adventurer's guild wants to discuss manhoods with you.

It's mildly creepy coming from what looks like a child.
