Scan-
Yeah, I actually agree with you there Scan. By their very nature, MMO's should give you as much freedom as possible. It's supposed to be an open, persistent world, right? I guess when it comes to this, I'm the hypocrite that cries for complete freedom and then gets pissed off when people "play the game wrong" (goldfarmers, people that are "too" hardcore, player killers, etc.). I think you're also right about there always being something to complain about. I guess game companies just have to find some kind of delicate balance of issues that the least amount of people hate. Or, they could do what Square Enix is doing in the case of the surplus, and do whatever the hell you want despite player opinion, lol. It seems like the best way to design an MMO would be to just leave it extremely open and mold the world to the players as you go, due to the unpredictability factor that you mentioned. If I had a bit more time on my hands to be MMO-ing I'd probably hate this surplus thing. But for the time being I have very little game time (at least until my contract is up at work D: ), and it probably won't affect me. Can we get some kind of official role-call of who who is going to be playing for sure? -------------------- dueling, remade for modern audiences |

I just found a computer that fell off the back of a turnip truck. I'm playing. Preorder for the LE is fully paid off.

Well, I'm not much a fan of this fatigue idea myself, but me playing was based on if friends were playing it in the first place. I started playing FF XI because a few Monster Hunter friends I had began playing it, so I did too. My enjoyment in FF XI was based on several things, but having good friends to kick it with often was the best of it. It's starting to look like there's going to be at least a handful of us, so I'm still on board to play. Um... this is a stupid dope mix?

I'm still in, and I'm calling it now - if you let this fatigue system stop your way of MMO, then the Japanese win.

Open beta I will be playing. After launch I will just observe, and see if I am interested in playing it by December. Launch is a no go for me because I will still be raiding hardcore on WoW to complete the expansion and my Shadowmourne (Boooo to Blizzard for making the last part of the quest long and grindy). Also, I am little more interested in picking DC Universe Online (has reasonable specs too). And of course Cataclysm comes out too.
But you know I am always interested in super-awesome-fun content that must be played immediately that may be found somewhere in the game. So if people say they found something like that in the later parts of the game I will pick it up. Not a fan of leveling content overall. I like MMOs for endgame content. But if I had to choose, Guildleves is my favorite questing system so far (still need to experience Cataclysm's revamped streamlined questing and as well as The Old Republic's). Just sucks with the 48 hour cooldown. This post has been edited by Scan_Man: Aug 28 2010, 03:44 PM -------------------- |

I'm in, of course.
And I'm kind of thankful I'm going to college full time right now, or else that Surplus business would blow. -------------------- Skype: Afroforce |

I'll be giving it a go, got my LE preordered as well, I'm still in a 3 day a week raiding guild in wow, so the fatigue system shouldn't hurt to much, yet it still is a piss poor idea by SE. Edit- This post is 1337 lol

Just got an email for the open beta. I'll hop on that see how it run on my PC. Still I'm gonna take a wait see approach with this game. Seems like now a days thats the best way to approach MMO's. Since it seems like there's bound to be bugs, glitches, exploits, oversights and plain old foul ups that devs miss in their rush to get games out the door. I'm sure they're gonna address the issues I have with the game, namely fatigue system but until now, I'll enjoy my console games like a cool guy.

Yeah not surprised it was delayed. Been the story of beta. They are really rushing this game. And what the fuck, it won't let me into the beta forums anymore.
