Really don't get the hate for this game. Yes it's kind of meh, but it's more interesting to me than anything in the last three years. Why the scorn for this when so much else was blatantly trash(TESO, SWTOR, etc)? The humor in this is good, the combat is fun, and the art style is at least new. I'll get my $48 worth.

Yeah, the 40% medics thing on the Google doc has me leaning toward Stalker, which is the class I expected to the most popular. I played Rogue for a couple years in Wow and enjoyed it, so why not, plus, it has the advantage of being a very convenient class to play at work

Someone walks into my office and I just stealth and alt tab, vs the alt tab and come back dead as every other class.

Ultimately though, everything looks interesting enough, so whatever.

Free mount, a title and an ugly costume!

Btw, I can't stand playing as a warrior. Never got one past lvl3 I think. The chunky animation for its builder attack just ruins the whole experience.
When I played one a while ago, it was always some slow builder attack, toss on a bleed and the leap skill had a cooldown that only allowed me to use it every other mob. Was annoying. By my MMO knowledge, the Warrior is typically always the OP class. However, this is crossed with the fact I always pick the worst class in the game.

We'll see how shit goes.

I think I'll give the dubstep medic another go this weekend, we'll see. Draegan are you going exile if you play?

@30/70(like/dislike), his words, I sure hope he doesn't. Talk about weird if you buy something you have that much dislike for.

Draegan has an extra house just filled with bags of money, 30/70 is within cash investment range.

It depends on my free time this weekend. If I don't decide to take down another wall in my house and I'm bored on Saturday I'll probably end up downloading this. The 70% dislike comes from boring classes and class mechanics. Beyond that, the game is extremely well done for a quest treadmill game.

What's funny is I see these people all the time. They dislike a game but still buy it , then get in the game and bitch constantly about the same things they disliked before they bought it, then quit 1-2 weeks in and come to the forums to bitch more :p Not saying draegan will do it, but I have seen it time and time again.

It's such a weird behavior. I almost think most gamers can't handle not playing something that another large chunk of players are playing and despite their own feelings on the matter they go and buy it anyway.

I do it for every game Cinge. The MMO appeal for me is largely influenced by the potential community I can be a part of, not the game itself.

The ESO purchase for me was just because Tuco hyped it, I met some rad dudes etc. Game turned out to be a bit weird, and was weird in beta too. IDK.

Did I miss the page in this thread where homies were setting something up for this games release? Is there a voice chat server or something? Or am I too far out of the loop?

The forum nerds here seem pretty divided as far as factions go. *shrug*
Looks like whoever set up the spreadsheet for the forum guild is going Dominion PVE. Everyone else is doing whatever they want. *Shrug*

I put my name on a spreadsheet. That's how I roll.

The tide for this game is definitely shifting. I remember seeing like 5 of us reasonably enjoying it and 95 naysayers. Now it's like 50% "its kinda fun I'll try it" 20% "pretty cool" 5% "FUCK YEAH" 15% "FUCK WOW CLONES" and 10% "I WILL PLAY IT BUT I WONT LIKE IT".

If I can get 1-2 weeks of video game fun for $60 then I consider that a great investment. I don't play or buy into MMOs because I think I can get a solid years worth of playtime.

I always found it funny when watching run around in circles when fighting a mob, its as if they think they are avoiding damage. I felt like screaming at them...you can't avoid normal attacks! Normal attacks are hitscan, they either hit or miss, regardless of your position relative to the mob at the time it attacks.
If you have any latency then this is actually a pretty effective way of avoiding telegraphs, rather than waiting to see it and then moving.

You mean like a *gasp* forum? Or maybe VOIP/chat-rooms? I don't think I would ever pay $60 bucks for a chat-room(because you said "not the game itself). The game itself needs to be fun for me to buy it since anything else if offers, like community, can be had without that cost.

Pretty much, its mainly the lemmings just following the crowd as it gets closer to launch.

You mean like any MMO? I've been pretty consistent with my view of this game. It has shitty class mechanics. The combat is really meh. The rest of the game is pretty awesome and well made.

Online dating is more expensive than $60 to bro out for a couple weeks.

I'm just here to meet people babe.
