LOLPATCH 1.16a

[Cairdeas]

TERA US open beta I heard would hit around August. No clue about GW2 release schedule, but it has good hype as well.

Diablo III will be MASSIVE. It will crush the market when it finally does release- everything else will be a ghost town. No matter how good any game is, D3 will command attention from fans for months. I don't care who you are, you are a Diablo fan. I think I might buy some Blizzard stock before then.

lol Diablo is not THAT popular. Hell I never played either of them and I have no urge to play the next one either.

Plus how many times do we have to see a game series get made by a different developer then the originals before people understand it usually ends up in disaster. COD, Medal of Honor, Fall Out New Vegas, and many others want to teach you a lesson.

I have zero of an inclinging to play a Blizzard game ever again. Its not my taste and no I am not a D3 fan.

I tried Diablo 2 back when it came out at the request of a friend who wanted me to play it with him. I disliked that game so much. It's quite possibly the most boring game I've ever played.

Diablo 3 will cut in the subs of one MMO mainly. And that's WoW's. Blizzard themselves said that. Most rabid blizzard fans that drool at the idea to play another rehashed diablo game are, guess what, playing WoW MMORPG-wise.

Do you guys realize that we are back in beta and the game will have another oficial launch on PS3 release? Until they don't finish tweaking and adding the planned stuff there's no reason to renegade yet. They are already working on it, having every 2 weeks a patch. Despite the earthquake everything is going well, I don't understand sometimes the haste some of the people have. Even the forums were made to comunicate with the devs so they know what we need and want from this game besides the polls.
It is not finished, and we shouldn't value it as if it were. Mistakes were made, release was one year too soon, but it's getting fixed, and we can presence the changes for free. I'm no fangirl trying to defend SE, I made many critics, but I do realize they are trying to do their best. Not only to us as players who bought their game when it came out, but also as business, such a company can't really allow such money loss.

Not that I fully agree with the OP but people who think that because a game is not an MMO it is not competing with FFXIV are wrong. Most people play GAMES in there spare time for fun, FFXIV is a game and so does have to compete with every other game for people to decide what to spend there time playing. Just because something is not in the same genre does not mean it is not competition. I dare say that a fair few people who play MMO's also play other games including offline games in other genres.

So if there is a huge line up of games that you want to play like the OP wants to then he would have to choose what to spend his time playing and if FFXIV does not have enough to keep you entertained then you will play something else. If it turns out that they end up spending more time playing these other games then they will most likely cancel their account once it goes pay to play. Then that is a problem for SE as they will lose subs if they don't have enough to keep people playing. It's ok at the min with it being free as people aren't as bothered and can go play other things without paying a sub, but if they were paying it would be a different story.

Guys. There was already a heads up on the battle changes/class changes content being pushed back to next month due to the natural disaster. Or are we just ignoring that fact atm?

NO one is ignoring that but what they have planned is not at all what the fans have been pleading for. and its easy to see that you can say that becasue you love this game and play alot ppl are pissed because they are not happy with the product but of course there are a few multi rnk 50 O.o that play this game like crazy and are happy with this broken product

It's not about being happy with a broken product. It's about being understanding and not a irrational fool who has no idea what it takes to develop an MMO and create new systems/formulas from the ground up.

I wish people would stop acting like they understand how development works. If you are searching for something to happen ASAP, even after a natural disaster, you clearly don't know and should stop contributing.

First of all. You have the usual quite elastic idea of the term "broken". All the systems of the game work, ergo, there's nothing broken. It needs evolution, polish and more content, but the term broken doesn't really apply.

Secondly, but more important, you aren't "the fans", so I would avoid to associate what you personally want with "the fans". What "fans" are you talking about?
You say "screw companies", but "the fans" (or at least the fans as represented by the player's poll, which is the only statistical representation we have) actually stated as a majority that the issue they want to adressed first is lack of content (very understandably). And guess what? The companies are *content*, which means they are (or they have the potential to be) exactly what "the fans" want.

You != the fans.
You != the majority.

Looks like it's a common mistake around the forums here
