Thinking back on communities I've been a part of, I don't recollect any specific attitude based on sub. AoC was chock full of douchebags while GW2 has had some of the friendliest players I've met and I've played on about 5 different servers over the past few months before settling down. WoT? Plenty of asshats thankfully limited by the chat functionality, or lack thereof at least when I played. I could probably keep going, but that would get tiresome. I'll just say I haven't seen the same delineation between sub or no sub when it comes to player attitude.


I'm not sure where you heard that, but you heard wrong. LOL's community is still full of people I'd like to infect with smallpox.

LoL is its own beast forged in the depths of community hell and shouldn't be a part of any comparison to other online communities. Also I spit a little coffee when I read the second sentence.

If anything, the internet is less anonymous then it's ever been, with all the facebooks and etc. People are still enormous retarded assholes though!

Great post. I don't get how you are being forced to even notice the overall community of a game these days. Get some friends and play with them or play solo. MOBA's are a cesspool because you can't avoid having your fun be dependent on others. There is no reason for MMO's to be like that. I've been playing Tera and literally give zero fucks what anyone else is doing in that game because its free and I play with the people I want to play with. Fuck the rest if I see them and I can I just kill them. If I can't kill them I just change channels.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

If community isn't really designed into the game to begin with than complaining about community is slightly mad methinks.

I agree.  But their UI, last time I saw it, was pretty normal.  Nothing too exciting and what you'd expect from any other MMORPG with hotbar combat.

The over the top narration and seemingly intentional hyperbole make this latest video great:

I expect TESO to take itself very seriously, which is great. I expect this game to be the opposite, which is also great.

Talkin' 'bout raids.

Quote
The last point on this topic, is to not assume that raids will be "the endgame" as is the case in many MMOs. It is simply "an endgame." For players who don't love this sort of content, there will be many other avenues and heaps of other Elder game content that will not require a player to set a foot inside a 20- or 40-man instance. But I'm a raider at heart, so I'm really looking forward to gifting you all with the most enjoyable wipes I can manage!

Seriously.  NCSoft must have finally captured the WoW genie.  The question is if it'll be enough to topple the current 800lbs gorilla.

Uhm, am I missing something? This is just WoW. Not that there's anything wrong with that, if that's your thing, but I don't get the excitement.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

"WoW in Space" is something people (including myself) have been whining for... over a decade.  Blizz didnt do World of Starcraft, so former Blizz devs make Wildstar.   Niche filled.

But its so transparently NOT WoW in space. Its WoW, with guns that are just magic missile, cannons that are just catapults, player housing yoinked from SWG and the requisite giant shoulder pads. Seriously, wtf people, you're meant to be smarter than this.

Since I love the housing in SWG, that's not a bad thing...

My playing this depends on two things:  Not having dozens of buttons and being no-sub.

Not, it's not exactly what I want, but I'm finally starting to get those games, so there's room for a distraction in there.

It's not WoW in space YET.  So they start on one planet...expansions and patches could very well add space travel and other planets.

I'm with Engels, any hype for this is pretty strange. The best things they are doing so far seem to be the things they aren't doing which is another fantasy game or another old IP cash grab game.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

The only thing I'm interested in for this game is the combat.  It seems like they may be taking the GW2 approach which I really liked. Other than that, the "settlement building" with one of the paths looks really fun.

But as far as a I know it's a quest driven progression game with raids and pvp battlegrounds.  Not earth shattering, but it will be interesting to see if they iterate it well enough. I thought I heard there is a LFD at launch.  Amazing if true!

Well they're saying that raiding isn't going to be the end-all/be-all of the "elder game", though how they'll get away with solo/small group stuff beyond daily quests will be quite the challenge, me thinks.

Housing Video

If you're on the fence about this game, after watching that video you likely won't be.  Has to be the baddest ass housing implementation on a viable AAA MMO I've ever seen.  errr, maybe tied with SWG.
