I never considered Diablo 2 to be 'high' fantasy.

Beware. NCSoft is having a massive problem with Guild Wars 2 hacks (11,000 so far that they've acknowledged) and are blaming the players.
They're also having serious launcher problems.
The launcher problems aren't something I've seen at all, even with the early security issues. -

EDIT: JayboH, if you can get past a ridiculous learning curve and extremely simplistic graphics, I highly recommend Dwarf Fortress.

I admit, I do get a weird craving now and then... for a good 'god' title like a SimCity/Black & White type.
It was more about the building and crafting on top of automation for me - and no, Minecraft doesn't fit what I am talking about.
Theme Hospital + Dungeon Keeper 2 by old Bullfrog was a hoot. -
I wouldn't be surprised if they add a toggle to 'Deposit all collectibles' in GW2 Slaunyeh. Then you can play and play and only look at replacement gear drops and then when you are ending your play session just tp to your favorite crafting area and go nuts.

Firefly MMO!

Quote:...like a Cowboys vs Aliens MMO?Originally Posted by Synfoola
If you mixed it with a little Sci-Fi, I'd be for it.
I'd buy a Borderlands MMO in a heartbeat.
I never did see that movie - any good? -
Quote:Yes it does. The reason it is being brought up so much here is two-fold: it is the hottest most recently released MMO that also happens to be under our same publishing house: NCSoft. I don't know what the community is like on the forums, but in the game so far they are very helpful and nice - as there is no such thing as kill-stealing and everyone is auto-exemplared based on the area they happen to be standing in, if they are on a team or not.Originally Posted by Slazenger
Does GW2 not have an official forum?, just wondered why I'm seeing so many threads about it on the COH forum. Will take a shot in the dark here and say as good as the game is, the community sucks.

What is Planetside 2 like? It's FPS, I assume?

Quote:The Well also inspired all the technology in CoH.Originally Posted by Ironik
Yes, a later addition that I argued against since its original inclusion in the game. The first background of CoH was much more open and vague, allowing players to determine the source of their abilities. Over the years it has become more and more constrained and follows the lead of games such as WoW and GW with their magical source for everything.
Annoying. -
Dimension Shift
I have more, but they are more recent and I'm sure Castle doesn't care anymore after all the time that's passed since this PM. -

Doesn't everything in GW2 ultimately descend from the various dragons? That right there is your "magical wellspring."
-
To be fair, if you are talking about the original Planetside, it is vastly different from Tribes Ascend and Global Agenda. Actually Tribes Ascend and Global Agenda aren't anything alike and I think they were made by the same dev house. Planetside 2 is almost nothing like the original Planetside when it comes to gameplay.

Quote:Yeah exactly.Originally Posted by Feycat
Just that it doesn't fit into the generic shoebox the haters are trying to put it in.

I'm man enough to admit I was one of those that was in tears when I got the news.

Maybe this should go in a separate thread, but I'm also really enjoying the Planetside 2 beta. It's missing elements in its current state but the earliest I've heard for a release date is New Year's Eve.
It's a sci-fi MMO - but it's nothing like Eve either. ...actually it's nothing like any other MMO, just like the original Planetside. It IS however somewhat similar to the Battlefield FPS games in its current state - with no game fee or monthly fee. -
Quote:Yes this is true, but I must admit I can understand the resentment. The genre certainly is more popular than others.Originally Posted by Slaunyeh
Ah all right, yeah that's fair. And it's not a bad setting as it is.
EDIT: you know what we need more of? Country-western themed titles - I never did buy Red Dead Redemption but I was excited at someone taking another go at the genre. I think there is an FPS that came out a little while ago that was too, although I forget the name. Would there be any interest in an MMO of that type? -
If anything, it's a good thing, because there is an obvious difference when reviewing assumptions about the title vs the people who actually have it and have played it.

Quote:Actually... no, it doesn't. The game still rips you off if you take SOs to a vendor it isn't intended for.Originally Posted by Slaunyeh
CoH does it best. *sniff*

Quote:Yes, very true - WoW does this right and GW2 doesn't. Diablo 3 also gets this right. I forget what other games use at the moment.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
For me it depends on how convenient they make it. If I have to go find some special NPC to do it, I get really annoyed, but when every vendor can do it, it's fine.
-
It's a little different there, as there is no sub fee to speak of.
-
That's one thing I dislike in other games: having to repair gear. Replacing is one thing but repairing is a pain.

Quote:Actually... no, that's the funny part.Originally Posted by asgard_NA
Ok. then orcs, goblins and dwarves with bad breath? C'mon, you've had to have encountered at least one of these?

Quote:That's the thing, I was explaining how GW2 isn't a fantasy MMO. You argued it was, stated how those who dislike it are considered retarded in my eyes without me even hinting at that, and then stated you are one of those types that dislike the fantasy genre.Originally Posted by Starsman
You accused people of dismissing fantasy for seeing an animal or seeing a tree.
Yea... I guess you didnt use the words... just trolled.
I didn't even put the shovel outside in preparation for the hole to be dug.
Maybe this is where we can call a truce and step away from all this silliness.
