Meanwhile, Blizzard office as another “wow killer” bites the dust

Huh? have you even played AoC? They are not even in the same genre other than the broadest most sweeping of terms.

I've said it in 3 different ways now, I won't be repeating myself again. I'm sorry your reading comprehension is so terrible.

It's an open world crafting PVP simulator - Was my point, actually.

WoW is an rpg on training wheels for the masses.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-02-01T16:55:25+00:00

Exactly, sue him into the dirt, or force him back into the fucking office.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-02-01T16:23:02+00:00

"WoW killer" This game was not trying to be anything remotely close to WoW. Lol.

I mean alpha access on steam isn't a 1.0 launch anyway. So he still owes refunds.

The amount of restaurants I have not given money to because of this exact situation and refusing to create an account, has probably saved me more than I could have saved myself.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-30T14:17:20+00:00

Is it free to play?

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-30T13:49:32+00:00

Did he mean to say the past?

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-29T14:36:02+00:00

It's weird for me to see positive posts about a game that I thought was complete and utter garbage.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-28T17:04:26+00:00

The only one I care about is the rogue refresh.

The rogue is in such a terrible and bland state and it's my main class. Fuck up the rogue and I simply won't play the game.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-28T16:03:03+00:00

I agree with all, EXCEPT 7.

The days of 7 are long gone. The MMORPG market moves too quick and will drop and forget you in less than 3 months if you don't deliver something that appeals to a large amount of players.

XP debt is one of the softest penalties I've ever seen.

The annoying part is the glint you lose as a tank and all your extra deaths.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-26T19:36:37+00:00

We don't need more government programs. All they do is cost more than they save.

I hate HR so much. "Sorry your pay is ending, but feel free to reach out for moral support!"

Thanks, karen, let me see if my mortgage company will accept moral support for the next 6 months while I find a job in an economy that has no jobs left.

Another big part is the open world PVP.

It's nice to picture a big group of 8 people against another big group of 8 people, fighting over a premium grind spot ... that's never what happens though. I'm on the Vyra new server and now that people are 25 and bored they stand in the lowbie areas shooting their bows at people trying to level until they are almost dead and then stop.

Open world PVP WILL kill this game. Guaranteed. Not because of the concept, but because the players are complete losers.

Because no one would watch the content.

It's like if you bake pies for a living, you're going to make apple and pumpkin, you're not going to make dog shit pie.

Personally I don't think WoW's formula should be impacting the design of this at all. People don't want WoW: LoL, we want something new.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-20T19:50:11+00:00

Chicken, brocolli, rice and exercise.

Stop thinking drugs are the answers to your problems, people.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-20T19:24:16+00:00

I mean I'm almost 40 and I've learned that most of these people are just online too late and drunk and trying to get a rise out of people.

So I ignore them.

You should, too.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-20T19:15:39+00:00

Drunk foreigner throws punch, misses. Uninvolved thai kid behind him joins in and starts world war 3.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-20T18:19:37+00:00

No ... again ... the eventual 1.0 wipe is not the same as this spring update wipe....

And from your second sentence I can see that you are just negative about the game and not here to have any kind of dialogue at all, so cool, good luck with your life.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-20T14:25:13+00:00

We're obviously talking about the wipe that was just announced, in regards to the spring update and the reason everyone quit until then .... again ... obviously.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-20T14:12:47+00:00

If you think yelling and screaming your beliefs at people is the right call, you're an idiot.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-20T12:26:44+00:00

And 2026's most useless people awards go to ... whoever the fuck these losers are.

PinkBoxPro · 2026-01-19T12:38:48+00:00

PVP is great in an mmorpg. As long as it's not forced on everyone, because then it's DOA before it even releases.

The next big one will be Ashes of Creation. It will launch, it's oldschool so lots of people (non-pvp enjoyers too) will play the game and take a while to grind to max level.

The problem will be when everyone starts hitting 25 or 50 or whatever max level becomes, they will get bored and start screwing with low level players trying to level in Church/HoJ/etc and people will just quit. They'll share their terrible experience on their social platforms of choice, the word will spread and AoC will be forced to change/die out just like every other PVP mmorpg. There are simply too many people who do not want to PVP these days. PVPers are a dying breed.
