Your supposed to either move onto flaming AoC and Funcom or head over to the WAR forums and scream about how much it looks like WoW.
Come on man... get with the program.
While I mentioned this long long ago, this while a redeeming feature still is only one part of the many issues I had with TR. Making the Bane a playable race in the same facility as Monster Play is to LotRO would actually make much more sense than the way it is approached now.
Why would this be so hard to do? We have Bane models, Bane weapons, Bane animations, etc.... How hard would it be to allow a player the chance to select one of five "kinds" of Bane, and just let them go? As soon as you login, your placed in a que for the next dropship on the battlefield, or the closest Bane occupied OP.
Then what they need to do are add more OP specific missions that will inspire others to regain control of these OP's to return said mission or have the ability to even start that certain mission.
Aside from the PvP making absolutely no sense at all in respect to its Lore.... there are quite a few issues beyond just this. Content is so sparce from 30 and up I just couldn't bear it. If they truly were so deadset on making a linear mission driven game, they needed to follow through with it from start to finish.
What I will say until I hit this point, I was having a blast. Never had as much fun in a MMO as I did, it just stopped when the content stopped. There is so much potential with TR it really sickens me to see it in its current state even this far after its release.

It just shows how many people have been testing the game and have been voting for it.
Surprisingly it also shows that those for the most part, have enjoyed their time. I haven't given Ryzom a perfect 10 as it has it flaws like any other game, but it definitely rates up higher than most games I have played.
This has got to be one of the worst issues I have heard yet in regards to AoC. In most cases like bugs, gameplay and content can be fixed... but letting actions like this go abound with no regard for their own set policy... Absolutely mind-boggling.
This seals the deal for me, as well as others. AoC and Funcom are two entities to stay far far away from.

Kaiser, you seem like someone who enjoys arguing for arguments sake. In reality every issue you mentioned has been met with a definitive answer to prove otherwise. Facts most importantly have shown that you simply do not have to follow any set plan other than the one in which you have made for yourself.
If there is an issue with freedom, it is completely in your own hands. You don't have to wear heavy armor to me a melee fighter, nor do you have to use amplifiers to cast magic. The choice is yours, and no one is pressuring you to play in any different manor. If anything, the players as well as Ryzoms tutorials are merely showing you the various possibilities within. Its your choice on how effective you want to be... but let me reitterate for the umphteenth time.... it is still all your choice.
I have been with Ryzom for quite some time and truly I don't see the logic in your theory simply because you have taken choice and turned it against yourself.
I am sorry but for now I got almost no arguments on the topic, but I did get quite a few "I know better", "shut up and listen" and a character assassination posts.
That proves what actually? That discussing Ryzom on Ryzom forum with Ryzom veteran players is posible only if one lavishes praises on the game.
I simply stated Ryzom has its limitations, those limitations are game based. I can either be jack of all trades or run with a group, how is that freedom? WoW offers you freedom to grind instances or battlegounds, that is no freedom at all.
Now, I can understand that min-maxers enjoy grinding everything across the chart. I can understand that some people like to play jack of all trades or run around grouped. That is actually a very limited number of choices, most games have limited number of choices.
I subscribed to Ryzom because I beleived what veterans spread around, I tried it and my observation is of a different experince. While playing I noted that am not the only one with that impression. My post stands and I am happy if it provides a counter balance to the others that might shown interest in the game.
Oddly enough I have issues with the game but I do like it or I wouldn't bother with comments. I started as a fence sitter however after tonight it is unlikely I will subscribe to Ryzom when it goes pay to play. While I beleive that community is healthy and friendly I saw extremes tonight and I am not inclined to pay for that privilege.
My special thanks to gatheris and Zorvan for civilized replies
Well I apologize if it seemed as if I was coming off rude, but if you continue to refuse to listen what more can you expect?
Discussing Ryzom is one thing, but spreading mistruths about the games skill system and freedom is another. You have made attempt after attempt to convince us of Ryzom's lack of freedom, yet you can not free yourself from your own thoughts. It has been said time after time, there are alternative paths, and there are ways you can purchase items without even going into other skill trees. That and no one person whether NPC or PC is telling you how or what to do in the game.
The only pressure you are facing is your own self-induced pressures. If your post stands only to counter-balance the positive things in Ryzom, then its purpose it lost. Intentionally making up certain issues, even when faced with the facts truly does nothing to support your entire argument.
While you raise some key issues with Ranged Weaponry, I have yet to disagree with such. If you wish to point out more of its prevalent flaws please feel free to do so. This is the place to do so, but don't expect for others who know the "in's and outs" of Ryzom to call you out on something as blatently false as freedom.
Simply put, we have a disagreement, imagine that happening on the internet.
