• • What exactly in a MMOPRG feature list make you interested?

  • Hmmm.....

    Twitch combat - not being able to dodge things manually or being hit through walls annoys me

    No open world PvP (arena is fine) - unwanted distraction

    Freedom of Movement - Got to be able to jump gaps, climb walls and swim under water

    No pointless large areas - can't stand tromping through scenery with random spawns

    Complex builds - plenty of meaningful stats and skills so you don't get clones. I would probably include character look and items in here but of less importance

    Quests - not the simple collect, fetch, deliver, kill type and preferably instanced to a group, queueing for a rare spawn breaks any sense of immersion for me

    Story - a good storyline with hopefully multiple decision based paths. Kill everything being the only objective is not desirable

    Group play - I like to group to do quests to me it is the best form of socialising. Lots of people running around an open area with minimal interaction doesnt work for me

    Narration - Something nice about good narration

    Good community - this from experience tends to actually better if the game isnt too popular and a bit more niche

• • What would sell better? A pure PVE mmo or pure PvP?

  • I voted PvE, just because I find PvP dull.

    A little team vs team arena style PvP isn't too bad, if the teams are balanced, but open world PvP seems pointless to me.

Your inability to digest even simple concepts is proof that you really don't want answers you want ammunition. To which I politely say, no and thanks.

    It is neither a simple concept or clear, for someone to both spend time and money playing a MMO with no redeeming qualities is pure madness. The fact you are trying to throw up a smoke screen and getting so emotional about the issue, speaks volumes for both you and your opinions.

    Well firstly kindly point out where I have made any attack, I am just pointing out the obvious, if you post then expect replies, if you are going to get personally offended when people question your post, maybe forums are not for you. Are you use to people just blindly accepting your opinion?

    Secondly you don't have to defend your opinions. Except you did invite questions, with the implication you would be glad to answer them, when you are clearly not. If you say one thing and do another, then little point in acting wounded when people think you lack credibility, because you clearly do.

    Finally if I were to say I hate football and I would advise people never to go see a game, like I did for 3 years. You wouldn't think that was in anyway strange? The answer to that question would give me a clear insight in to whether your opinion should be considered suspect.

    p.s. For clarity by saying you will not feed the trolls, you are implying people are trolling you, which is actually an insult.

  • Why bother to post if you don't want anyone to discuss what you posted?

    Nearly everything on a forum is an opinion, but from the thread title you wanted people to take a definite action based purely on your opinion. When validly challenged and asked questions on pretty obvious inconsistencies, you try and pretend you are being victimised for having an opinion.

    If it is a true opinion, defend it and answer some of the quite reasonable questions people have asked. Like why did you play for so long if the game was so awful?

    People are not going to just agree with you when their own personal experience is so at odds with yours.
