[QUOTE=Andokool12;28039775]You really feel that way about GW's art style? I love the Guild Wars style, personally.[/QUOTE] Yes, it looks like the whole world is dried up and turned into some low-quality compressed shit where everything stands out and somebody threw lots of light at it. Looks like absolute shit. At least in WoW the graphics really flow well together and it goes for one consistent artstyle, rather than a bunch of photos and photoediting mushed in together that doesn't really match up all that well.
I like Blizzard, but do they really need anymore money? They could probably purchase North Korea and still have enough for 500 yachts just from their WoW profits.
I really hope they make an MMO with game mechanics that aren't extremely boring. I don't understand how people find "click on Y, watch player do X" fun at all, there's very little interactivity.
[QUOTE=Andokool12;28039775]You really feel that way about GW's art style? I love the Guild Wars style, personally. If a company based out of Iceland that's younger and much less known than Blizzard can do it (CCP. In case you didn't know, EVE is based on one server. It goes down for one hour of maintenance every day, but at a time when the least people are playing. EVE certainly doesn't have a small playerbase by any means, either), then the argument that it would be a challenge for Blizzard is invalid.[/QUOTE] EVE still doesn't have the playerbase WoW does, and in EVE, you are warping into other zones with players, so you aren't even seeing that many players until you use a warpgate, etc.
[QUOTE=dgg;28039036]I've played a handful. Countless of people found Age of Conan to lagg like a bitch. And those graphics aren't very impressive. And Guild Wars for example looks worse than WoW even if it's more hi-res. Because shit just doesn't flow well because it tries to be realistic to the extent that it forgets to create a style (same with Conan, really). And of course, it lagged like a bitch back in those days. The days of Geforce 6600.[/QUOTE] You have no idea what you're talking about.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;28045415]You have no idea what you're talking about. Well don't play it on an Amiga then.[/QUOTE] It seems to me that you are the one that has no idea what he is talking about. Not everyone in the world actually continuously upgrades their pcs, most people sit with 5-7 year old PCs because they can't afford to upgrade, or don't give a shit.
[QUOTE=Mr.Dounut;28013814]I'd like an mmorpg that didn't focus on the "massive" part. More of people in the hundreds in one area, so they can focus a little more on quality and graphics. some kind of fps mmorpg or osmething[/QUOTE] Guild Wars would be the closest thing to that I suppose.

If you don't think its worth it to get a new computer every 5 years in today's age you have another thing coming.

Blizzard has already said it will be radically different from WoW multiple times.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;28070408]That's their problem and has nothing to do with the the devs making the game look good.[/QUOTE] Yes it has, because it is a MMORPG. It means it NEEDS a lot of players to even work. How do you intend to have enough players to keep the game alive if 85% of all owners of a computer can't play it and only 25% of those remaining 15% will even bother buying it?

[editline]15th February 2011[/editline] "lol mmo needs lots of peeps so it can't look good too!"
I just hope it's not "generic Magic and Wands and swords and stuff xD" MMO number fucking ten million.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;28075170]It's called playing on low. "lol mmo needs lots of peeps so it can't look good too!"[/QUOTE] I don't know why that option never occured to me. It'll look like complete bollocks though instead of having well done low-res textures you just get a pile of shit thrown at you. Yes it can look good, look at WoW. If that doesn't look good then I don't know what's wrong with your eyes. There is no need for HAIR RESUS GRAPHICXUZ when you can just have really well detailed or stylized graphics instead with a good atmosphere and flow in it. Just like WoW and TF2.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;28077496]I just hope it's not "generic Magic and Wands and swords and stuff xD" MMO number fucking ten million.[/QUOTE] WoW is based off of the RTS game which goes back to 1995, and Warcraft has a massive amount of lore and story behind it so if anything WoW is one of the only non generic fantasy MMOs out there. I would also love a Starcraft MMO but I think a new IP is always good so the devs can step away from something and stretch their creative legs.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;28079061]I don't recall ever saying that WoW looked bad.[/QUOTE] I never said you said that either. I said IF you thought it looked bad, then there would be something wrong with your eyes. I never implied that you did think it looked bad.
[QUOTE=cathal6606;28004658]I hope its not a MMO[b]RPG[/b] A MMOFPS/RTS would be interesting.[/QUOTE]Titan or whatever is heavily rumored to be an MMOFPS MMORTS wouldn't work at all, though, i think
[QUOTE=dgg;28079358]I never said you said that either. I said IF you thought it looked bad, then there would be something wrong with your eyes. I never implied that you did think it looked bad.[/QUOTE] Yes, well, ok then.
