[QUOTE=DeandreT;35122189]Do you just hate everything that isn't WoW? It almost seems like you hate WoW from your posts there too. I just don't understand why you hate it so much. It's supposed to be innovating on the aged model of MMOs today.[/QUOTE] Everyone who like WoW on facepunch hates him so take his opinion lightheartedly

[QUOTE=Chirno;35122049]ha preorders give beta access... talk about desperate[/QUOTE] Yeah because they didn't totally get 1 million beta signups in 48 hours.

[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;35125648]good, now [B]people can play good mmos that aren't grindfesty due to monthly subs[/B][/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=RetaDepa;35122615]Everyone who like WoW on facepunch hates him so take his opinion lightheartedly[/QUOTE] I like WoW and I don't hate anyone on FP.

I remember finding a Beta access key to the first Guild Wars in a magazine I was flipping through, and managed to grab it and use it for the last Beta Weekend Event. Ever since then Guild Wars has had a place in my heart Now with GW2... Persistent worlds... No subscriptions, glorious eye candy and lore, balanced PvP that isn't gear based Yes please
[QUOTE=Chirno;35122049]ha preorders give beta access... talk about desperate[/QUOTE] Im curious, have you bought Minecraft?
[QUOTE=mopman999;35130253]Im curious, have you bought Minecraft?[/QUOTE] i "bought" minecraft before there was anything to buy it was just his ideas
[QUOTE=Chirno;35122049]ha preorders give beta access... talk about desperate[/QUOTE] [quote][b]Recruit players back to WoW and get a special mount[/b] The "resurrected" player also gets a few nifty benefits: Any one character will be boosted to level 80, the max level before Cataclysm raised the cap to 85. An automatic upgrade to Cataclysm without having to purchase the game. A free optional character transfer to the realm and faction of the player that sent the scroll of resurrection so the two can play together. An finally, seven free days of game time.[/quote] ha... talk about desperate
It's also worth mentioning that Chirno plays Tribes Ascend. Which before it went into open beta had the exact same model of "buy this pre-purchase pack and get early Beta access"
[QUOTE=Dantai;35132726]ha... talk about desperate[/QUOTE] just doin the same thing 90% of fp do to every wow thread posted [editline]14th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=thisguy123;35132806]It's also worth mentioning that Chirno plays Tribes Ascend. Which before it went into open beta had the exact same model of "buy this pre-purchase pack and get early Beta access"[/QUOTE] also worth mentioning i was playing before they had a preorder deal
[QUOTE=RichyZ;35133014]except what wow is doing is basically "please come back baby! i didnt mean to hurt you! i didnt mean to make you cry but tonight, im cleaning out my closet!"[/QUOTE] except gw2 is doing "buy our game well give you beta access you might like it pleeeeeaaaaasssseeee!!"
I thought it was more like "if you pre-order our game we'll give you early access cos it's gonna be fuckin ages till release and we need testers" no it definitely is
[QUOTE=Chirno;35133053]except gw2 is doing "buy our game well give you beta access you might like it pleeeeeaaaaasssseeee!!"[/QUOTE] Wow beta access. Holy shit out of anything you could whine about, you whine about people being able to play beta for a game THEY paid for. You act like they're paying for beta keys. They are still paying for the game, but they also get to play the beta weekends/events while they wait for it.
It's like it's the first time you've ever seen a game advertise itself before release. [editline]14th March 2012[/editline] fukin merge breakers
[QUOTE=DeandreT;35133064]Wow beta access. Holy shit out of anything you could whine about, you whine about people being able to play beta for a game THEY paid for. No comment.[/QUOTE] youre one of those people who think theyre entitled to every bit of the game just because they own the cd arent you?
[QUOTE=Chirno;35133092]youre one of those people who think theyre entitled to every bit of the game just because they own the cd arent you?[/QUOTE] Yeah that's kinda how owning a game works did you seriously just ask that
[QUOTE=TheTalon;35130123] balanced PvP that isn't gear based[/QUOTE] How does that work?
[QUOTE=Viper202;35133104]Yeah that's kinda how owning a game works did you seriously just ask that[/QUOTE] umm no it isnt just because you own the disc doesnt mean you own the game you just have a license to play it just sayin
[QUOTE=Chirno;35133092]youre one of those people who think theyre entitled to every bit of the game just because they own the cd arent you?[/QUOTE] No I'm not. I'm a huge supporter of Steam and other PC platform-type things if they can be done correctly. The reason I support them is because Steam can keep my games far safer than my shelf can. I don't need to completely own the games, I didn't develop them or distribute them. What does that have to do with anything anyways? It also really depends on the game. With MMOs you are normally held in by subscriptions/a license that only lasts about a month until you have to renew it. With other games you still have a similar situation except you own the contents of the game package and only that. They physical object can't be taken, but the right to play it can be revoked.

[QUOTE=Chirno;35133131]id love to know of a good mmo where someone in shitty "low tier" gear can beat someone in amazing "high tier" gear because the game is so "balanced"[/QUOTE] You should really start reading up on the game before you bash it's brains out. Anyways, instead of having an arena type thing you have 2v2 (I think) 4v4 and 8v8. You can enter at any level and everyone is given the same gear essentially. The gear is blue or red based on your team color and while you are in The Mists/PVP Area your skills and gear are automatically swapped out for level 80 gear and skills. You can then adjust your traits/talents and Utility bar to the way you want to play. So basically in WoW type scenario it would give everyone the best PVP gear of their specific class for that season. No one can change their gear out for better gear which completely removes anyway someone could have an direct advantage over another player. All gear is completely balanced and can be balanced based on what class they need to rework. World v World v World is a bit different. Instead of giving everyone the best gear at 80 for PVP, it leaves your gear the same, but you are still scaled to level 80. This allows players to level in World v World and you can also kill other players and loot gear off of them. Not as balanced, but WvW is for huge battles and not for complete balance.
