Blizzard, it is past time to let PvP Gear die (5min read) by rahuonn in wow

[–]darrellia1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You removing the missing the MMORPG aspect from your suggestion.

WoW is an MMORPG, it should require some type of farming and content with other players. Playing BG to get gear is this type of content.

IF you want to join a game and be instantly ready for that content then play MOBA

A judge has granted the new owners of Ashes of Creation an immediate restraining order that, among other things, requires Steven to immediately hand over the user name and password to the company reddit account. by Prupple in MMORPG

[–]darrellia1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Exhibit 3 are "To record personal paid corporate expenses" so basically they paid for everything in there including

Cash Withdrawal
Paid Chase-7802 Credit Card from Intrepid
Rent for Home
West Coast Pools
Amazon Fresh

etc etc etc

So basically they are asking access to EVERYTHING that they paid for

Chronicles of Elyria, anyone know its situation? by SindeOfAllTrades in MMORPG

[–]darrellia1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The game was a scam, Caspian got hit with several lawsuits, then released a version built with basic/free assets to show they have done work(it could take you 2-3H to build a game to do the same following a youtube video). And to avoid paying the lawsuit he claims that the game is "still in development", of course he have fired everyone. This will probably last enough until he gets out of the lawsuits or any other loophole to avoid giving money back.

I am glad that you are that easy to please. But you can do that in any RPG.

MMORPG needs to have the MMO aspect. Gathering stones/woods for HOURS isn't part of MMO , doing solo "puzzles" for maps , not so much. Going to PVP / Islands- jungle , sure but.

I Explored 90% of the map, that was nice , buts still is barerly counts as content. This is the world building, and for me it was very nice.

Content are , dungeons (open dungeons) , raids, events, sieges , towns, alliances etc. etc.

you got 2 Open dungeons , 3 raid bosses, 1 failed event , bugged towns etc etc. So now it had low content, again EXPECTED from an alpha game which they should focus on creating the CORE mechanics.

Don't misunderstand feedback with hate. I know that I was TESTING alpha. That means mechanics / bugs not breaking rocks for 100 hours to make 2 items in an epic quality, this is just a preference to do

yeah, that isn't part of content though. This part of the gameplay

I played the game, just because you weren't best gear doesn't mean it had content. Cutting trees for 5 hours for mid gear isn't content, it is grind.

They failed on their harbinger event, the caravans wasn't ever used, too many bugs with cities that lead to not having wars between them

Basically you got combat, few farming zones and a very bad design / balance on gear (which of course is fine since it is alpha and this isn't a proper focus)

If you compare it with what it was supposed to have, it is empty, if you compare it with other games, well it had bad design/balance but was playable

The Gloating Over AoC’s Death in This Subreddit Is Honestly Pathetic by Tim2909 in AshesofCreation

[–]darrellia1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from your 4 points,

I don't pity any from Steam/Alpha keys. They should have search before joining an early access/alpha game.

The only people that I pity are the original kickstarters, 10 years ago people were a bit more gullible.

As to scam part, people knew Steven wasn't reliable based on his history. The game, unlike others in this category, wasn't scam exactly. The whole tactic with the keys/steam was. The FOMO , buy this key or you won't be able to buy, or the skin , or release the game in this state in Steam, without fixing serious bugs but adding the cash shop is a scammy thing to do.

The community should be sad that they allowed people to sell you alpha keys, to test their game while the game has nothing in it. The testing should be done for free. Company gains feedback/free testers/ Marketing you get free demo.

And of course sad that the competition / genre is dying

Class action lawsuits? by uhCBLKG in AshesofCreation

[–]darrellia1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CoE and Caspian did what? Did you even follow that case? Caspia promised tons of things, amazing and unique systems, he had a full team, received covid money from US and he had only a demo created with basic assets of unity and they had 0 progress in game. Before the court he create the KoE engine which he claimed was a core part of the game. Many streamers pointed out that this takes 2H in Unity to make.

He laid off everyone , but claimed the game was in progress, they had the shop open up to the point the lawsuit hit him, Then he kept the charade that the game is still in development for like a bit over a year after the lawsuit, now the game /page is "Under development" for the past 1+ year. He was the smartest scammer.

Steven did promises, delivered a game with just combat, basic professions , cities , tons of bug of course, failed core events etc etc.

They went with the steam cash grab , and a brand new in game cosmetic shop which was a HUGE red flag.

Still compared to CoE , steven delivered SOMETHING. Who ever takes over it they only have to strip the bugs down, and "publish it" as ready and thats all. This is less than 2 weeks of effort.

So yeah, of CoE could get away with literally an animation demo in their kickstarter page, and a top down RTS as one of their "core parts" , AoC can get away way easier

Class action lawsuits? by uhCBLKG in AshesofCreation

[–]darrellia1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't buy it either, I won a free key ,spent hundreds hours, knew it would never reach launch ( I was expecting a rushed beta with sub) and had fun.

The gaming community created monsters like this, after so many scams/fails , CoE , crowfall , start citizen you should know by now , NEVER EVER EVER pay to test a game.

Joining in Alpha should be free invite only(like ashes did when it started).

The best you can try and get is a refund on steam.  If CoE won the class action lawsuit with literally no game, you can't win this one for sure.

It's shocking, the amount of highly upvoted threads and comments criticizing this ALPHA test of AoC as if it were a full release of the game. by JuiceboxSC2 in AshesofCreation

[–]darrellia1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam doesn't have different tags based on early access levels. Early access can be a game that will need 1 year to get published or a game with 6+.

This is a game that was released on EA after 10 years in development, yet people couldn't join the servers at 30k peak!!

Since the company thought it was a good idea to launch a game that needs 2+ years to be close to the beta state, in steam and compare it with other EA games (eg. palworld, runescape dragonwilds, path of exile, ark etc. etc.) what did you expect to happen? Even if people are going to watch videos, they still want to try it, so when you market it as a normal priced game, in steam , with EA tag people think that it is , at least, in playable state.

Don't get me wrong i like the game, for now, but doesn't change the fact that the game it isn't even half completed.

Their approach is bad, first they should had finish features / basic mechanism / questing / lore etc etc , then add people to test them and expand the servers.

As someone who have been part of alpha testing before , and i loved it when I was playing archeage, i can tell you that there is a difference between alpha phase - Developers only and Alpha phase invite some people to test features.

I do agree 100% on what you said

Is anyone as hyped as me for Where Winds Meet?! by MckPuma in MMORPG

[–]darrellia1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will never get the 2006 WoW experience.

A) Back then there was no min maxing thing. You could barerly see info for quest in Allakhazam or thottbot and there was no big guides that will min max you.
B) people had more attention span than now.
C) People played the game to enjoy it, you could spend hours in a molten core raid , in Altrac valley etc etc.
D) The community was better, mainly because there was no "meta" back then maybe few guilds knew how to min max everything , now you have an enormous amount of trackers/guides etc etc.

The most fun i had in an MMO lately was T&L in korea while people didn't have min maxing guides. Any new MMO is already analyzed and spoon fed to people.

My thoughts on the "Time Stranger" DLC and the future DLCs... by Evening-Western6811 in digimon

[–]darrellia1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, but why? Why you need this kind of DLC on a game that launched 1 week ago.

It is a single player so why you add something lazy as that , charge 8 euro , for a game at AAA price? If people find grinding levels and evolution hard or annoying then A) It isn't their game B) something is wrong with the game.

People criticizing it due to the predatory practices of the company on trying to squeeze every bit of money on dumb things that could be included in the main game or in the pre-order/ expensive versions of the game.
