Did this game deliver on the hype?

So how exactly does it fail as an MMO?

It has

More raids than wow did it launch.

More PVE content than most fresh MMO's

More PVP than most End game MMO's

And more content in general.



The people that are complaining about the game are spoiled from wow, because they started 3 years into the game.


This game is getting its THIRD raid 3 months into the game, imagine what it will be like in a year from now.



The people that will quit now are the people that never wanted to play in the first place.


Swtor is doing fine, its just people these days are too stupid to understand how MMO's work.

that game was terrible through and through.
I meant my comment in a negative way , both this and Warhammers hype failed to deliver big time.
Well done Patch 1.2, lots of additions that i was looking for.

I'll totally agree on the world PvP thing, but there IS fluid combat and you can roll an alt of the opposite faction for a totally unique experience. PvP, they blew. But they're working on it.
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

More =/= quality, properly working content.

Measuring a ratio between hype and what was delivered i can honestly say that this game would get the lowest score i have ever given.

Major issue for an MMO/RPG the gear textures are absolute sh*t for a game in 2012.

Much better is within the game as we saw in beta, a beta that the graphics sold the game to me.

Dont come with the bull that is "oh that was beta" , beta doesnt mean taking out graphics options imo.

For me personally its failure has nothing to do with content.

Levelling is too fast.
Gearing is too easy.
Space is a pile of ****.
Everything is easy.
Soulless.

The list goes on for me as an old school player.

This exactly.

Id wager if everyone who would like a refund got one, Bioware would be almost broke.

I want to play an MMO where present day hardware is needed and can be utilized.

I hate to say it but i bet there will be no texture improvements by the end of March and another load of cash will be wasted, and ill end up taking a look at Guild Wars 2 or the like.
Ok. Next time I meet someone wanting to upgrade their PC for this game, would you like me to tell them they dont need to? I dont see the point of your response IN REGARDS to MY post.
