Gridania Copy and Paste--Uldah Copy and Paste

[Wynn]

The truth is people played all through the alpha/beta and not once on the beta forums (The most troll infested place on earth) was copy paste mentioned and none of the terrains changed since then. Then Mike B from Zam made that Copy/pasta video and instantly it became game breaking for the majority.

It is no where as bad as ppl make it seems. Now if you focus on it and look for it yea it can piss you off, which I think is what everyone is experiencing right now.

The copy paste is noticeable because there is not enough landmarks and points of interest and the fact the game is not finished makes everything wrong 10xs worse for some reason.

Not. True. At. All. I was in the game from Alpha and I know for a fact it was complained about on the beta boards. Heavily.

and putting more landmarks would be a pretty good bandaid till they can get some major terrain fixes in.

Finaly someone mentions that!

Am i the only one who still things that an RPG (even MMO) is all about the "Fantasy Experience" (and not a race to get to rank 50).

I played through Alpha/Beta an thought "copy and paste" would be no big issue because we will get different areas in the final game.
I was realy surprised after i saw, that there are no different areas but 2, with very few things to do there.
And the 3 City-Areas seem very "crafted" and also lack a lot of uniqueness and charakter.

And yes: it is indeed an important issue NOW.

1. The hame needs more veriety in general (new Areas, specific landmarks in existing areas etc)!
2. New areas have to get unique spots or have to be somehow more interesting.
