Right, what about the price of the actual game itself?

Or can you just keep on using your Open Beta account and only pay the monthly fee?

 

I think that would make a heck of a lot more sence to do it that way. Thats how WoW did it and I liked that, it helps on the cost, instead of going out to purchase a $40 disk you can just upgrade the account; hope that will be the case.

WoW didn't just have everyone upgrade their account. You could continue to use the Open Beta client if you wanted, without having to update again, but you still had to buy the game and upgrade your account with the serial number in order to log in to the game.

This is nothing new, and I don't even recall ever seeing an option for not renewing automatically.

I think mainly the problem is that the OP dislikes the game so much that he'll use anything to try and make Mythic out to be worse than they are and try to devalue the game.

While I don't play and do find the game boring, it's kinda stupid to be complaining about this. I dare say mentally challenged.

CoX has only gotten better in the time since the NCSoft takeover. There have always been problems here and there, but there is definitely nothing happening really to warrant such a negative outlook. The positives far outweigh any negatives so far.

a player can generally get about a piece of the Savage Gladiator set with the points from one week (10 games), which is generally about a time investment of less than an hour of arena play per week..... It's certainly valid to express one's dislike for the arena playstyle, although is it entirely different than requiring players that love the arenas to play in the battlegrounds to get their boots, belt, bracer, rings, neck, trinkets, and cape? One could also make the argument that it's somewhat similar to the fact that we "require" all players to level-up in order to participate in end-game content, or perhaps that engaging in tradeskills is "required" to be maximally competitive in raiding or pvp gameplay.

To me I read "We know you hate arena as much as you hate the xp grind"

Just because someone makes a valid point and you can't generate a valid counter-argument doesn't mean they're trolling :P

That says that in the minimum amount of games, if you do well, it's possible that you can get enough arena points to purchase a good piece of gear each week. If you do horribly, it'll take you a while to get anything, though.
 

They go on to say that it's fine if you don't like the arenas, as there are other options for progression available to you - but it would wrong to force those progression paths on those that DO enjoy the arena, and they should be able to get all their gear from it if they choose to.

The guy also compares it to other parts of the game such as leveling, saying that it's similar in the fact that you actually have to invest some time and effort into improving your character enough to get to end-game, just as you have to invest some time and effort to actually get this gear.

In my opinion, Arena should definitely be another form of progression, and it's alright - it definitely rewards skill better than most things out there. That reason, however, is why most people hate the arenas: because they don't HAVE any skill.  They lose, they get frustrated, they complain the other classes are OP, they go back to grinding their shittier gear in the BGs, and continue to lose most of their matches in the arena anyway .... but guess what, after enough time of losses passes, you still manage to get a new piece of gear, which is great, right?

No, because you want the whole set, and it takes too damn long, because you suck. That's too bad.

NOTE: Yes, I suck at them, too, but I am not planning on using them as my path of progression. They're making everything a bit easier, with 10-man raids, and all that crap, that I'll be able to actually join in on the PvE, and play some BGs, and do the arenas now and then if I feel like it, because it's just another option available.

3. Your website AND  forums are both inaccessible! So how do we find out what's wrong with the game??

With the 1.2 BILLION dollars you made last year, funny how none of that went into make the technology of the game better. Oh well, fortunately I have a WAR account. Guess I'll go play a game that's up AND running.

 

 

 

Dude your so stupid. Just uggggg why even post dumb ass? World of Warcraft is just fine....yeah servers are down they did alot. War and WoW aren't even competing....because warcraft is on a different level from every other game it just is and deep down everyone knows that. I think it will be awhile before anything comes around that will take my interest completly from warcraft and I don't even play much anymore. So yeah just go away no one wants you in the wow forums.
 

 

To clear things up; I'm not advertising for WAR, just making a point that Blizzard (and yes I'm a fan) could have done a way better job of implementing this patch. Sorry, but 17 hours deep into a patch means that something is not working right on their end.

Say what you what you will, flame me I don't care; bottom line is that this patch is a major screw up. And really, Blizzard couldn't wait a few more weeks to ship this content with the box? There's only one reason why, and you all know what it is....

WoW is an awesome game, but when you have competition breathing down your neck, you only get so many chances to do it right.

 

Get over it. They've implemented a major patch full of refreshing changes that make the game way more fun than it was before, and it's worth the downtime for them to get it right.  They can't predict every single possible error that can happen, they can only do their best to fix it as quickly as possible.

Get over it. There are plenty of reasons they would launch this content today. First, these changes have nothing to do with the expansion, they're what everyone even with only the original game are able to use, so might as well give it out. Second, it's better to have this initial content, and the bugs with it, sorted out before the official expansion launch, so that they can deal with any problems that might arise from the new continent itself, and not have to worry about everything all at once.

Get over it. Whether or not they're making billions of dollars, they're still only human, and mistakes happen. When you talk like this (all posts from thread), you sound like you're incredibly arrogant and believe yourself to have no faults.

Which, of course, may just be the biggest fault of all.

 

Sorry I don't understand your post. It's my right to post my opinion about a game that I pay for and play. And not once in my post did I make any personal attacks against anyone. Get over it.

 

Your posts have been nothing but spiteful towards Blizzard. You claim you're a fan, but you'll take anything - something as simple as a patch day malfunction - to shit all over them, and then talk about how great another game is. You're using the patch day as a reason to bring up how you believe WAR is a better game, whether or not you'll admit it.

So, you're a liar, and you're butthurt that you couldn't play a game - that you apparently could give two shits about playing because you're happy with WAR - because of unforeseen problems that are bound to happen to any company.

You have the right to post your opinion - yes, no matter how biased, you'll put that to use. You have the right to go outside, too... shame that one doesn't get put to use quite so often. There are plenty of things to do out there.

 

Can anyone on these forums make a post without personal attacks? I mean really? I guess you feel like a man because you joined the crowd in trying trash me. You have no clue who I am, yet you've done nothing but make assumptions. If you can't post without getting personal, then maybe you are the one who needs to get out side more.

Assumptions based on what you said. Re-read your original post. Nothing but bashing WoW, and bring up WAR.  Nice.

Listen, man, the point is, it's one day, and you complained about it like it was the end of the world. So, I told it how it is.

Also, you never denied any of what I said. Alright, I'm out.

anyone scared the so great MMO company EA wich destroyed ultima online to please wall street but turned up they destroyed the game ,, trashed uo 2 , shut down motor city online 6 months after it was out and trashed earth and beyond .

 

Do you expect them to screw up this game also ?

I Do

i give it a Year and a Half before the Tie accountant at EA starts giving out blue dressed orc robes as gift

In my opinion, I think Mythic is a great company, and EA won't have to get involved enough to ruin the game - or do anything for that matter. However, I do think WAR was overhyped, and I don't believe they will retain the number of subscriptions they likely hoped for over the years to come, but it'll still do well.

My character will be entering the world for the first time in a year to see how the game has improved.

 Eeek that sucks. :(

Especially having to accept the EUALA again just from having disconnected..

 

I wish they'd remove that EUALA already, just re-approve it everytime they patch or something. I thought they did a few patches ago but it's still there for me.

They made it so you don't have to scroll down the page before you can accept. They didn't say anything about removing it.

Though I thought they were removing it too. Reading comprehension is for suckers.

I'm with the guy that made the first reply... what the hell does that mean, a SW game delivered on a plate?

I don't even think that makes any sense. Maybe the OP has some mental issues that are causing him to see the future and tell it via inane ramblings.

How about; I don't play Destruction because being Evil just doesn't interest me at all. Chaos and Dark elves are just too "Murder and massacre because it's fun and it gets us all smiley" for me... Although I might consider playing Greens eventually because I always liked there Codex lore

 

I know i'm crazy arn't I? I must be the only one ever.

That's EXACTLY why I can't seem to get into Destruction. I don't like the killing and destruction for pleasure bit.

No.. they are down for a patch, which includes some fixes and some new features:

- bonus to influence/xp for certain under populated realms on some servers, to attract new players
- more code to fight gold spammers
- a join-all-queues for scenarios button
- siege engine interface fixes
- no more afk'ing in scenarios.. you get kicked out after 2 mins and can get no xp/rp while in the spawn area
- no more needing on stuff thats not usable by your class in scenarios (forced), elsewhere the group leader can turn the feature on
- pet improvements

plus much more

 

As said above... the game was down from 7:30am EDT or so until 12:30pm EDT or so for the patch. Now it's down for login issues that arose from that downtime.

i love it too. wotlk is just the same old shit. played some of the alpha and beta. got bored after my deathknight hit 56 (and they start at 55).

Yeah I'm expecting to get bored pretty quick myself. Probably gonna end up going through the Death Knight starter area, then wonder what the point of continuing is.

It certainly wasn't hard to figure out.  Every dev podcast/interview/post wouldn't shut up about destruction and most preview articles were the same.  Every 'what class will you be' poll showed destruction waaaaaay ahead. 

And here we are, with almost every server balanced heavily against order.  The most recent realm population bonuses to try to correct the problem are a joke. 

So flame away.  I know the people who rolled destruction (likely fully knowing what was going to happen) are going to be the quickest to get angry and try to defend themselves.  We all know the people who are best at PvP gravitate toward destruction and I'm sure they know that tips the scale as it is.

Don't you guys get bored over there?  You can take the most fun game in the world -take away the possibility to win (or take away the possibility to lose) and that game gets old real quick.

It's really not as bad as you are making it out to be. Most servers are fairly balanced, though some do have a good bit more Destruction than Order... though I have seen one that has more Order than Destruction... I believe an RP server.
 

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I wish I was enjoying it that much, but there are a lot of problems with it that I am sure will eventually be fixed that keeps me from wanting to play long-term at the moment. Gonna head back to WoW come the expansion, and then when I get bored of that again, I'll check WAR out again.

It's down because they're fixing some login issues.

So, from what I understand, the OP is lazy and would rather click one "heal all" button, as opposed to actually having to do something aside from pressing that one button. Healing is fine in-game - it makes killing those tanks insanely hard, and it can be frustrating sometimes. I can get someone down to one hit left, and I'll keep getting that person down to that one hit worth of health, but they'll keep getting healed and I'll be the one that ends up dying.

Healing completely turns the tide of battle as it is.

I agree with the OP. They need to upgrade their code/servers. There is a lot of lag at prime time a good bit of the time. PvE problems where I'll have my bar from my last attack stay up and not let me fire off any more, while the enemy continues to attack me, and similar happening in RvR, though it's to everyone, as I never die during it. I've also had the morale problem stated above, where I'll just keep clicking it, and it'll keep counting down from 1, until it finally fires off too little too late.
