That's not what I meant at all. Shits not getting better because TESO is currently at the top of the pile IMO. For me, looking back on major MMORPG releases of the last 5 years, TESO is a far superior experience. Maybe An argument could be made for Rift from a PVE perspective... But that's about it.
Equating how good a games launch is to how fun it is - is bad trend to set. To you TESO may be at the top but per this thread its not like that for everyone. WoW will remain top dog for the foreseeable future. The only really interesting MMO in development is EQN, and Wildstar doesnt do enough to set it apart from whats already out there in my opinion.
If you are talking accounts, yeah WOW will remain top dog. If you are talking overall MMO, TESO is better by most measurements except subs, old school combat, and raids. Graphics, Class Design, PVP, and world are far, far better in TESO. WOW is selling based on it's name more than anything fun.
So long as you keep in mind your post is based off your own opinion and thoughts of preferences then sure.
Same as yours, except yours is based on a 10 year old game that looks and plays it, and relies more on reputation and fanboys than actual content.
Shrug - games are still trying to mimic the good pvp days of UO Or DAoC and failing - nothing wrong with old - old memories are why we keep hoping for something to bring back that old magic!Same as yours, except yours is based on a 10 year old game that looks and plays it, and relies more on reputation and fanboys than actual content.
Mine is a new boring game with better mechanics, at least.
If everything is better. why is it boring?!
Because the genre and design can't hold my attention the way it did 15 or even 10 years ago. The games have gotten better but my interest level at my current age isn't nearly the same as it was in my 20s.Shrug - games are still trying to mimic the good pvp days of UO Or DAoC and failing - nothing wrong with old - old memories are why we keep hoping for something to bring back that old magic!
Alsooooooooo you said new boring game with better mechanics - something just sounds wrong there
Im inclined to agree - things arent the same and my attention span for anything has dwindled greatly. The only "persistent" type game i have real hype and anticipation for is Destiny and maybe The Division. I am almost over MMOs in its entirety at this point.
Class design is in my opinion good because you can basically do whatever the hell you want. Archer with Heavy armor and Magic ? Yes. Dual Wield Light Armor Tank ? Yes. Stealth ninja with 2 handed and heal ? Yes. Fucking Destro Staff Ranged Warrior ? Fucking yes. It reminds me of SWG pre-CU class system where you could dabble your templates like a mad cunt. It feels refreshing in a market where everyone plays a cliche class. PvP on the other hand is fucked up right now, most (Eu) campaigns are awfully balanced, maps are one-colored (?) most of the time due to people fearing getting spawn fucked and bandwagoning to the most populated faction. Most people aren't 50 and didn't do PvP so maybe it will get better, but right now it's spawn camp or getting spawn camped most of the time.
