Returning player (BETA & Initial release) Impressions and concerns.

[Arel203]

I'm not going to bother quoting people, but;

The point was not to just merely say "I HATE EVERYTHING". It was to define what I did not like, why it doesn't work, and what I personally find wrong with it. I apologize for the 2 things I said in that whole post that so many of you are getting riled up over (the "gay", and "what idiot thought of this"). But, unfortunetly it's a common slang that even though i'm not refering to a person or directly trying to flame someone, I'd hate to break it to you but this is the internet and how people talk, sometimes when i'm typing what's on my mind in, mindless order, slang slips out when I'm not thinking professionally. Honestly get over it.

But anyways, as I said. The "It's changing in 2.0 thing" is all good. But I've already read everything, and stand by my original statements and complaints. Yes it's changing, but in nowhere does it state specific design qualitys, just promises without definition. Part of what makes games great is the developers having things to consider when developing. You think if every person just said "It sucks" and left it at that, they'll just automatically create the best possible solution in 2.0?

I find it funny that most people will say they enjoy the game the way it is and tell people to leave when they voice concerns, yet can't wait for the upcoming patch they're so quick to give to people as an answer.

So which is it? Are you blinded fanboys that will take what you can get or paying customers that request only the top quality for ungoing subscriptions? MMO's start with the voice of the customers, and they're a key aspect in making the game grow and florish. If you are so quick to accept everything, you'll get the product you desire; a game in its current state that will never attract new players and continue to sit under 100K subscriptions worldwide until they've lost so much money that they'll likely never consider another MMO.

If you really thought this thread was an unconstructive complaint without definition then you are part of the problem, not the solution.

No offense to anyone specifically as obviously people try here try to directly associate indirect quotes and comments with flaming and e-policing mentality.

And as an EDIT: Just to add, a lot of what I specified, could be fixed pretty easily. Mainly the server>client base UI and menus.

Another EDIT: I will agree TERA is so far a pretty bad MMO in general, it had potential but they opted to make it more like an FPS game then a dynamic one. But aside from that, all MMO's have great qualities and to just write them off as bad because they're not XIV (one of the lowest rated in the industry) just reeks of bias. I'm no anti-XIV, I enjoy it for the most part but I'm completely shocked by the hostile fanboyism in this forum. I'm suprised the game has been changed at all with a lot of this mentality.
