then why has sega never released PSO2 in the US market. BECAUSE IT WILL FAIL here is why!. People who pay for a game dont like to be bonked in the rear. Asian MMOs and microtransactions dont work in the US market. Paid subscribtions and quality content and competent developers do. Thats why Final Fantasy 11/14 and Warcraft thrive and thrived for years and still are.
Honestly, White knights kill a game faster than trolls.
Well we always have Kim Hakkyuâs Ragnarok/Granado cult to support us⌠But⌠They do need to fix some of the zones people are flooding into because they donât know better⌠Tenet Gardens and the chapel is the worst choke pointâŚ
Giving players a quest to visit one of the parallel zones in Orsha⌠or just beefing up the channels would work.
Or rather, they prevent everyone to care for the dying.
To be fair steam reviews can be dumb as hell half of the time. The division got trashed in reviews by thousands of angry little boys because the servers went down for a whole three hours (or less) on release. The dlcâs got trashed in review because over half the people buying them lacked the level of intelligence required to know that you had to redeem the codes on uplay.
I mean thatâs just a recent example but you see what Iâm getting atâŚ
TOS has some issues that need fixing if the game wants to grow instead of die slowly but TOS is a fun game.
I think itâs a bit more then that⌠Lets be honest here⌠If youâre playing the game you know the quests all break or donât work when itâs laggingâŚ
There is also no indication to the player on how they should be using XP cards in such a way to avoid XP penaltiesâŚ
Or giving them a heads up about the XP curve resets. So they think theyâre grinding so hard to get to 46! Then they get past it and theyâre like⌠why did one XP card just give me 60% of a level? Most people are too stupid to notice those things⌠or bother connecting to the community or looking at a guide⌠Thatâs more reserved to the cultists of Kim. Not the average Joe.
Iâd rather come to a games forum for the first time and see âThe game isnât as bad as itâs being made out to be, people are exaggerating. Just log into it and see for yourselfâ and see if itâs true, than âThis game is â â â â and a complete waste of time with all the issues it has, it wonât last long.â in which case I wonât even download the game and go find something else to do.
That aside, that Steam overall review made me laugh. Not because the game getting bad rep is funny, but because IMC already went through a similar outrage situation in kTOS for a month yet they still havenât learned their lesson in regards to the Trading and bug issues.
At least theyâre making an attempt though. Letâs hope those attempts are enough to fix things before the game hits F2P, because if the Review Rating moves from Mixed to Mostly Negative before then, then the game will have lost its chance to ever maintain good playerbase numbers for the long run.
The game is great. All the drama can pretty much be summed up with one simple question;
Will IMC re-evaluate the premium bonuses or not?
Two things would make this game absolutely fantastic;
Re-work trading. (allow non-prem. users to trade, allow silver trading, remove silly -1 item potential penalty on all methods of trade) / level requirement on megaphones and/or instance yellchat by level (meaning after say level 1-10 you will never see what anyone level 1-10 yells ever again) Have fun advertising your silver to other bots!
Thereâs also one simple question we need to ask ourselves as a community;
What sort of company is IMC?
Either they will make their money through cosmetically-appealing micro-transactions (aka GGG / Path of Exile). Or they will continue to do as they do and TOS will sink much quicker than it deserves to.
Well , they should look at this:
Some fine tune here and there and itâs good to go.
Not a surprise.
PD: I forgot my negative review. (writing)
Iâm just a bit surprised after all this time they didnât put in dynamic channel allocation⌠Most of the NPC bugs are from lag⌠And from a programming stand point⌠Wouldnât it be trivial to setup? Maybe there is some server nuances I donât know about⌠But couldnât it even be adjusted every few days with a short maintenance if it took that? We got 50 channels for the tutorial zone still and theyâre always all white.
Thatâs ok , cause when it hits f2p, they will need it.
It seems like. The game certainly has major issues, but who actually plays games based on their steam score?
Ironically yes, even tho the trade and market limitations are pretty bad.
Funny because I was sort of aware of that and went to City asap, and still, the god dann Gem disappeared.
My friend nearly smacked his screen and said was gonna ask a refund to steam thought.
Children complaining because an mmo is not running like a 5 year old bugfree service.
Get out.
No, just no.
WoW ââthrived for yearsââ because they changed their audience to people that dont usually play games to begin with, they made it a ââmainstream gameââ. These people dont demand the same level of quality in a game, so the game was made ââdumbed downââ year after year.
FFXIV had a great base design at launch (crafting was amazing, the game felt like a real FF online), but it was rushed and instead of giving it time people bashed it so it was ââremadeââ.
The remade turned FFXIV into the same mainstream beast that WoW is, so the game (while it added a lot of content) become dumbed down.
Just because WoW and FFXIV bring in money for their respective companies doesnt mean the games thrive from the players POV.
Yes subscription based MMOs can be high quality, but ultimately its all down to the developers, not the method of payment.(if any)
They shouldâve just marketed this game as P2P, really. Things always go downhill when games are marketed as F2P, especially with some players expecting a completely free game. No such thing as free lunch, boys.
I seem to recall a time when Tera Online had mixed reviews. It did manage to right itself over time.
Mostly from people crying about not being able to boost multiple characters. I can understand why you WOULD want trading and the reasons why you WOULDNâT want it. Try to see both angles here. But yes fix your servers (EU at least), this is kind of foolish being offline for one of your biggest weekends.
Cant believe the amount of hc fanboys defending, bringing arguments which make no sense that they actually believe themselves.
YES THIS IS AN AWESOME GAME, just sucks donkey balls how they handle the bussiness, remove many of the basic elements to have fun with friends and dont give a rats ass about our opinion.
Those ppl dont care about this but complain about instable servers, tbh thats the last thing that comes to my mind, been playing from day 1 WITHOUT lag and barely had to queue.
