Compounded with the fact they are dwelling on 12month old content which is no even the focus in the game anymore, failed to list any additions to the game, failed to mention endgame, failed to mention changes in leveling, failed to mention materia, no real mention of the companys, etc shows they did not do a review of this game at all.

They told someone who hates the game to review a game that is labeled "The worst mmo ever made", the game is still not as "Good as WoW" so there for it gets slammed.

All in all the review is biased and has no true merit for someone looking at this game for the first time.

It is just going to be awesome when a game with a score of 58/100 outlives both ToR and Rift and other wow clones in the end which got/will get scores above 85. I think a 60 would be equivalent to a score of 96/100 with mmorpg.

All in all they need to say the game is still not done being redesigned, post the changes, future changes in the works, major issues that still exist, then make thier I would not play this game yet statments. Not "hey they game sucked at launch... why the @@@@ are you still even looking at it Bioware is releasing something soon."

saying the game sucks with no backing to why and no mention of improvement, is just proving that site has little to no merit on their reviews.

I think you are the very biased person here, the review is pretty much spot on, the UI is still bad(Sure not as bad as before but that does not make it any better), there is NO END GAME!! NO END GAME DO YOU UNDERSTAND ? NO ENDGAME! The game is not better than any AAA MMORPG out in the market Period. The game is still not half the game vanilla wow was at release, wanna argue about it ? vanilla wow had 10+ dungeons, 3 end game ones and a raid, this game has 3 dungeons in total.... not one is end game :)

How dare you bring facts into this!! In before "but the next patch...!!!!!"

The game is still bad, don't let fanboi glasses cloud your sight. The UI needs to be scrapped, Linkshells need options, the market wards... oh boy.

BUT the game sure as hell is better than it was a year ago.

Really. this guy hasn't played the game. Everybody's HP's went up about 25%. Yeah everybodys dmg when down but so didn't mob hit points. I myself like the balence now.

don't try to pretend that every player's hp went up. go play a class below r35 and you have less than before. after that, yes, your hp does increase. it is alot more balanced for higher class players, but not for lowbies.

its hit and miss

while their life totals did go down, it was a balancing issue(i cant confirm wether or not it really ruins their gameplay or not or how hard it is to fight as i cant test it exactly cuz im all 50)
however, the main issue since patch isnt the life totals and its results, but the fact that people were dying not cuz of it, but because they were trying to fight as if it was pre patch when you were fighting +10 or more mobs instead of mobs closer to your level

the lower life made it seem like maybe it was the issue, but no, the fact was that people died cuz they werent fighting the appropriate mobs

oh i wasn't disputing that at all. i just was saying that i had tried it across my classes on my main and the hp has increased for them, but when i used my alt i noticed a drastic hp decrease. i wasn't saying that was the reason they died, but just stating that the across the board hp was not increased by 25%.

yes, people are dying alot because i still see people even in their mid 40's trying to solo mobs in their mid 50's and it's just not going to happen anymore. once people stop fighting mobs above them and start realizing sp at their rank is just as good we'll see less deaths.

"Really. this guy hasn't played the game. Everybody's HP's went up about 25%. Yeah everybodys dmg when down but so didn't mob hit points. I myself like the balence now."

that was the post i was quoting and responding to. there's plenty of issues we can pick out with the post from the author, but we don't need to make stuff up to try to justify them being wrong. starting a new character, which is what they do, their observation there was correct. if they played long enough and had a high level char then they would be lying.

Waaaaait a second... That's us right there! (4th image)

Leaves out a lot of important stuff, ignores the complete redirection as of January and the earthquake month by pointing out the fact that certain problems still exist after a year when under these circumstances it's more like 8-9 months, complaints about issues that are confirmed being worked on, and generally littered with non objective conjecture and ignorance.

But it does provide the perspective of someone who doesn't follow the game very well. So there's that.
