Crafting and an economy isnt the only thing CoH/V lacks, they also have no content. By level 14 you have experienced the whole game.
Which "Game of the year award" are you talking about? The only one I saw started with something very similar to "there was almost no competition this year so this award defaults to COV".
The worst is when you buy a game which doesnt have ads and then you are more or less forced to upgrade to a patch which has them. If you are computer saavy yhey are very easy to turn off, which is great, but I wish I never gave my money to the developers in the first place.
The next generation is going to have the same exact problem. Imagine SoTC being ported to the Doom 3 engine, it would look great right? Well not great, the main character would be a conehead. So maybe the generation after?
I think art also has a lot to do with realizing your vision with the tools you have. I have a high end pc, and have seen some great visuals in the latest and greatest games, yet I think SoTC looks great. The fur looks great, I was actually suprised the PS2 could be made to do that so well.
If they change either am I allowed to change my mind? Or do they get to use that catch all that they can change their mind whenever they want?
Since they are allowed to change the agreement and ban us whenever they want should we be allowed to go back on our agreement and be refunded whenever we want?
Was that confusing? Maybe it makes more sense by saying if they can sell us a game and take our money then take the game back without giving us our money back shouldnt we be allowed to buy their game and take a copy then get our money back without returning the game?
For most games that use Punkbuster I believe you are able to enable or disable it. For Half Life I dont believe VAC runs unless you go to a server which requires it.
The Warden runs in enemy territory so it can be altered just like WoW can be altered. It will not solve anything. All hacks I know of are warp and dupe which can only truly be fixed on the server. Log scanning can indentify bots.
Blizzard is making tons of money, the least they can do is come up with a real solution. The Warden just provides piece of mind for those who dont realize it too can be hacked. So in the end all the are really doing is installing spyware.
I WOULD QUIT BUT I ALREADY PAID FOR THE GAME!
They dont give a crap if I quit now I've already given them well over 100$. This is a *REAL* problem, if they want to change their license to something I cant agree with I should be refunded my money.
Even sides wont fix zergs/ganks, some people just dont care to help. You seem to think these zergs/ganks may be caused by people being unable to enter BG though which would insinuate if they could get into BG they would go there instead of zerging/ganking. Wouldnt cross server BG's do this?
Dont you see that right now you have a choice? Right now you can join the underdogs and enjoy a quick entrance in the BG's or role alliance and have a better chance in open pvp.
Also remember, this wont mean anything for 4-6 months after the release of the expansion. Its going to take all these Belves time to level! Cross server BG's on the other hand will help right away!
I think it's a good move to give the Horde a "pretty" race.
Thats exactly why I dont want them. You insinuate that the sides need to be evened but I dont think this is true. Your problem will be solved with cross server battlegrounds, not giving the Horde belves.
By allowing users to choose between a "pretty" weak race and an "ugly" strong race I think it really has allowed people to make a decision as important as class. I think for the most part similar personalilties will gravitate towards a common side making it possible to meet a lot of people you like to party with. I hardly ever see people dancing naked in Org, which I think is great. If I decided naked dancing was important to my gameplay experience I could make an alliance and go to ironforge.
I would have rathered Ogres with a two headed model. Then I could "/say" and each time a different head could speak. Or give us goblins so we have a hard to click race!
(i consider the horde stronger because they get shamans, will of the forsaken, orc stun resist and warstomp)
Maybe by complaining we hope we can get some changes before release. I personally have always played Horde and think BElves are an unimaginative addition. Really just a god awful idea.
I like the idea of the level cap increase but I completely understand why others do not. They have spent a lot of time getting epic items which would not be considered good to a 70.
So what you think is what everyone should do is just shut up and not have opinions because you like the info you have seen so far?
Yeah but the only good that will come of it is *YOU* will get back your name. This wont help anyone else who is abused by the GM system or by Blizzard in general.
You obviously have the power to get your words out and you choose to complain about your name in an MMORPG?! Why not bring up the EULA changes which allow them to scan out of process memory? Thats an industry wide problem which might require legislation to fix and could use the publicity.
I haven't paid more than 20$ for a game in a long time. Games sales seem to burst and then dwindle forcing retailers to drop the prices rather quickly. Of course there are exceptions like WoW which I didnt get until 2 months ago when Circuit City had a sale. Plus systems have to have their million seller discounted games so people will buy their systems.
People who cant afford or dont want to pay full price for games simply need to wait. This raise would only effect those who cant or dont want to wait.
I think they are thinking beyond this generation as far as money making goes but Sony also loses money on system sales.
The point was that people do care about backwards compatibility, the previous poster insinuated they didnt.
20+ million XBOX's sold is not a success? How many hundreds of thousands of people have subscribed to XBOX Live? When I go into my local game store I see a wall of PS2 titles and a wall of XBOX titles but have to squint to find the Gamecube. How do you define success?
"The Xbox cost MS five billion to end up in last place in worldwide installed base."
Gotta spend money to make money.
"The library of Xbox games is so bad that the fact that the 360's lack of backward compatibility is seen as no big loss to Xbox fans."
Did you recently do a survey of yourself to come to this conclusion? Would it ever have been an issue if *NO ONE* cared.
I dont think you can so easily say that games are what gave the PS2 its big win. I had a PS2 and a Gamecube on their release date, why would I buy an XBOX? I feel many people probably felt this way. Microsoft had yet to prove they were really going into the game business so who knew if in 2 years the XBOX would be discontinued and would be shelved next to the 3D0. I will also admit that I didnt want to support Microsoft, they get enough of my business. Microsoft had not only to impress Sony/Nintendo fanboys but also impress the anti Microsoft/OSS/Linux crowd. Once my friends got their XBOX's I slowly started to see how great they really were. I havent touched my PS2 since I got my XBOX. The reason I got my XBOX is the games , thats also the reason I think its so succesful, I just dont agree that the PS2 won on its games.

Of course there is 1 person who likes the changes its finding 2 that would suprise me!
Im at a loss, what did they do right?

Is this a stealth advertisement?

Using Sharmans logic its fine to download music, everyone else is doing it too!
The plan probably goes more like: Its better to have 40 people pay 1.50 then have 50 people pay 1.00.
When can you we stop pretending GTA was so innovative?
I'm still working on a full WildHeart set, let alone starting on my Cenarion, how the heck am I going to find time for the Xbox 360?!

If you are waiting for Snuff Video Director:Online, I think its slated for 2007 but Rockstar's site still has it listed as TBA.
They are given shelf space for Nintendo's Revolution.

WoW does not give you a choice.
