Riiight, cuz all those people I saw ranting about kung-fu pandas, extreme focus on PVP and a no auto attack class in an auto attack game were just my imagination. And thats just MoP

In D3 we have almost all incentive to actually play with other people removed and even if you want to, you can only have FOUR people in one game.

GW2 once again has a massive focus on PvP, or is this the game that calls it RvR? Regardless it's an almost completely different fanbase than the traditional MMO has, and like TOR its been hyped to hell and back and i guarantee will disappoint ALOT of people.

I am no way defending GW2, but that game really stands out or at least to me. The first one was heavily focused on PVP but the 2nd one is not just PVP. It's more than PVP if you watch the videos at guildwars2guru website

I actually haven't heard much about GW2, not that I've paid attention. That said, I doubt this game will fail anytime soon.
This just in: Expanding on an ending no one likes is not improving said ending. A polished turd is still a turd.

Never understood some folks' inability to play more than one game. How about playing SWTOR AND Diablo III?

Why all the need to be in just one game? I guess if you feel you have to be playing the same thing all the time to stay "competitive" or some other such stuff, then I get it.

But I don't get it

I don't see Diablo really drawing people away, unless there's a major element that needs a sub. Nor do I think GW2 will. It'll draw some, sure, but that's to be expected. I think the fact that you pay for the client, then MTs at your disposal is going to provide people a lot of incentive to not drop their sub. As for MoP, well, read my sig.

If you're more of a casual gamer, you might not have time to play both, so you might choose one over the other.

Too much hype on any game will make it a disappointment.

No MMO is perfect at launch and most don't get good until the 1 year mark.


People quit and when stuff gets fixed they end up coming back. Nature of the MMO market.

What amazes me is that every new MMO release is hailed as if it's the Second Coming of Lord British, but almost every single one of these games end up to be disappoints. Some on a more massive scale than others.

Gamers never seem to learn.

Who's Lord British? Is he one of the OD's? (Original Darths)
