Subscription deadline is coming up and the question is: will you subscribe?

[DanteMog]

Yes i foolishly subbed an extra 60 days so i'll play them, afterwards if a lot isn't changed and fixed by then no i wont resub its honestly not worth the slog and grind..

Also which dev decided gating the story line with stupidly annoying dungeons then adding a ridiculous delay on AoEs, there is a certain place in hell left for him i'm sure.

Um I don't know if you know this or not but hard mode primals isn't end game LOL! End game doesn't even start till you beat titan and get to the coil and crystal tower which will be the first real end game content we get isn't even out yet lol. I hope you don't subscribe their is already enough retarded ppl playing this game!

How exactly is end game defined anyway?

[Callidous]

This game is already 100x what SWTOR was

At least it's a 100 times grindier than SWTOR...

So, it's what? 2 days to go till my free month is up and I'm still mixed on whether to continue to subscribe or not. I'm leaning heavily towards 'no', for the following reasons:

- I believe that the basic game engine is not advanced enough in this day and age and that since it forms the backbone for all game content, this is a huge problem. For the game to only register character position every .3 seconds and then to base the entire melee DPS play style on requiring strict positional needs to be met is just backwards. I suspect if I hadn't rolled a melee character first, I'd be enjoying the game more, but the amount of time I spend trying to land a hit on the back of an enemy when it's turning to cast at a ranged party mate nuking away or chasing down a moving mob while constantly 'whiffing' is just plain frustrating.

When melee is fun, it is very fun - but since a large chunk of 'early/mid end game' content in Ampador Keep involves: 1st boss who turns to cast constantly and who needs to be moved out of aoe, 2nd boss who can't be attacked from the back, rendering a large chunk of my attacks completely useless and a 3rd boss who's just plain dull (but again, punishes melee with a rear cone attack for attacking from the rear) it's just plain dull.

- Off global attacks not really being off global, but more 'slightly less global'. Yes, I get that the animations in the game are stunning and we all want to see them (hell, the whole game is beautiful), but this part of the combat system just feels clunky. Why is there no normalisation in animation lengths? I kind of like that some of the theory crafting of when to use a Dragoon Jump is based on which skill animations run for which length, so as to fit the supposed off GCD ability into the ideal frames - but it's definitely a bit weird and backwards! The lack of a skill queue system does not help at all here either - it's too easy to hammer an off GCD ability 3-4 times and for it to still fail to trigger due to animation lock.

- Crafting. My god, crafting in this game is FUN. Like, really fun, with so much potential. Since I got bored with Ampador Keep, I've been more or less exclusively crafting, and it's a really well made system. What isn't so fun is that while the act of crafting and cross class crafting skills are great, the actual rewards from the system aren't so much. I don't mind that end game crafting requires 'some' dungeon farmed tokens, but the balance is well off at the moment, considering the grind in levelling up a DoL/DoH(s) to the point where you can make them reliably. I'd much rather make crafting those items more challenging (as in needing us crafters to have access to a wide range of cross class skills in order to guarantee high quality) than just bunging a steep requirement to run more AK/CM/Prae. It's not skill based, it's just a grind that is made frustrating by my issues with melee DPS above.

On the crafting/gathering side of things as well - why I do have to solo queue with randoms through the Duty Finder if I want to do gathering/crafting leves while I wait? I'd like to run dungeons with my free company mates, but due to that the basic game system seems to be broken with regards to allocating the high level dungeons (ie 30 minute+ wait for an instance when we have a pre-formed party?!) and that you can't do gathering/crafting leves in a party, I've been left out. Either the duty finder server needs to be changed to allocate much more resource to the commonly run high level instances to remove these queues, or we need to be able to make productive use of our time while waiting that timer out. Again, I feel like I'm playing against the game when trying to gear up a DoW and level crafting.

I will not sub for now as I wait for the delay issues to be fixed (if that will ever happen..).
Went back to WoW and, enjoying it again after a very long break.

Subscribed. Because it makes fun and that is what matters. But I really hope that a lot people stop gaming. the manners in this community is the worst I've ever seen. I hope the game get's much friendlier atmosphere after all that badasses leave.
