mmorpg's review

[darkstarpoet1]

You continue to harp on the fact that the rants listed in the review won't be changed by 1.18, but again, a review is (and should be) *not* just a list of complaints.

Without even going on the fact that combat is being changed, and combat is a major aspect of a mmorpg, 1.18 has the full potential to add very enjoyable aspects to the game (grand companies missions, dungeons, new quests etcetera), which means that it could easily add more *positive points* (that are already sorely lacking in this review) to a review.
Those tend to be rather relevant too, you know?

i continue to harp on the fact they aren't being addressed? please show that to me. i never once said that anything they said wasn't being addressed, but continue to flame away anyways.

all i stated is as of now they are legit, but it could be not so in a few days. i also stated in another post it would have been a good idea to wait until after the patch to have done so, but of course you overlooked that. you also overlook that i said that the updates should have been mentioned in the review. of course you failed to mention that and continue on by saying them.

That review reminds me of the old cartoon 'The Critic' In how she just basically said "It Stinks"

Really... one wharf rat kill and she thinks she knows the games future.

agreed it's kinda hard to review anything with a quick glance. you would think that actual review sites would have a group of people that played the game for a decent amount of time before making reviews on something. it's like if movie critics watched a preview and then wrote about the entire movie.

I understand time is limited to punch out a review, but the mere fact of not telling people how long you played a MMO review is tantamount of reviewing a retail game and saying.

"I never actually played the game all the way through. Hell I can't remember if I got past the title screen it's all a little hazy."

LOL It had some roman numbers or something on the title screen then I made a cat person. Here's why I hate it.

It's not like anyone is even debating the score, hell the game probably deserves a lower score considering how scathing her review is.

But the timing is so horrendous it's sparked ALL CAPS RAGE within some people, myself included.

@#$^% probably doesn't even know whats in the patch either.

Patch 1.18 wouldn't have made a difference.

The MMO community at large isn't exactly a fan of auto-attack anyway, so it might have only meant an even worse review.

So? At least it would have been a god damn informed review instead of stating such things as Auto attack are "Rumors"

oh i do agree the timing was horrid. i will not take up for that. the only thing i look at the timing on that review was they hated the game and wanted to get in a few extra kicks before the update came out. it was an obvious way to hit back as se and say look at 10 months after release this and this is wrong and briefly mention that in a few days that is changing. to me that person felt it was their last chance to really hit the game with a bad review.

it may be after the update there may be people that hit the game alot harder with them, but i think this one in particular hated the game so much they didn't want to take a chance the game was drastically changed for the better after.

if the update drastically makes me enjoy the game better i will be right along everyone else attacking it as it is incorrect, but right now i guess i am in a wait and see mode. i voiced my concerns i have had when things were stated about how i was worried they would be implemented. all i can do now is wait and see and hope the people that voiced concerns were heard and if any changes needed to be made with the way the new stuff was implemented it headed off troubles before people visit the game again after waiting for so long.

My mistake, i mistaken you for another poster that continued to harp on that.

all i stated is as of now they are legit, but it could be not so in a few days. i also stated in another post it would have been a good idea to wait until after the patch to have done so, but of course you overlooked that. you also overlook that i said that the updates should have been mentioned in the review. of course you failed to mention that and continue on by saying them.

The problem isn't that those arguments aren't legit, some are, some are somewhat footed in reality but extremely overdramatized and tainted by hyperbole (which is a big problem in itself). The problem is that the review is extremely lacking in adressing the game's positive points, and that the patch can easily introduce some relevant new ones.

The patch may or may not improve the game, no one knows. What *everyone* knows is that the patch will include some very sizeable changes and addition that will make the game objectively different. Which means that for better or for worse that review will be irrelevant and potentially misleading in four days.

The score is no matter, what matters are the contents, and that review describes a game that won't be fitting that description in four days (mind you, it doesn't really fit that description even now due to the lackluster adress of positive points and the widespread use of hyperbole on the negatives, but the difference will be even bigger in four days).
