[dev1079] PVE and Battle System Suggestions

[AreeyaJaidee]

Agree with OP. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The ONLY game SE has to worry about is GW2. Everything else is just copies of what's already out there. Everything about GW2 looks promising. I'm not a big fan of the look of the UI or that its F2P, but those hardly matter considering the rest. If there's any "WoW killer" in development right now, this is likely it. If any game pulls me away from XIV, GW2 will be the one to do it.

I wish GW2 was the only one.

Check out this one:

Elements:
- Races other than the same old crap: even races that can seamlessly go from biped to all fours while running.
- Players can build ships together or solo... and then sail them... and then shoot cannons from them... at other ships... without requiring a PVE instance...
- Players can build their own homes
- Mostly all of the terrain is traversable (You can even climb the freaking mountains in the distance...)
- You can swim
- You can climb ropes and operate cannons in AND out of PVE events
- You can create VERY unique looking characters at character creation screen: You can even resize and move tattoos around as well as recolor them.
- Dynamic Battle events
- Very good looking high quality graphics
- Jobs which utilize some VERY cool looking effects: First that comes to mind is a mage that summons a giant rock hand from the ground to HOLD a mob in place while the mage attacks another target of that set of mobs.
- Music: The music is actually pretty nice. It is obviously Korean and seem to be very ethnic which is peaceful at times.
- so much more to name but it would be idiotic to list them all
BEST PART: Everything mentioned and SEEN in the videos on their site... ALL this awesome stuff... IS CLOSED BETA!

Wait: You mean to tell me a CLOSED BETA is this much better than FFXIV?

How is that even logical? FFXIV is a RELEASED game...

Trust me... after the several months since I started playing FFXIV (CE release) I STILL find myself asking that SAME question.

Message still stands: SE step it up. You got Koreans AND Americans developing MMOs which make your product look like a little kid ate a box of crayons and crapped it out onto a High Definition piece of paper.
