I never said ArenaNet wasn't American, but they develop mainly Asian stoe games.

As for the armor. Yes there are many sets, but they all use the same models. Seriously did you guys even play GW.

You really don't have a clue about ArenaNet at all.

Firstly, there are dozens of armour sets per class to choose from with max stats. So you're wrong there. Second, Anet are American, based in Seattle. They had nothing to do with CoH, Aion or any other NCSoft game. NCSoft have no creative input into Guild Wars 1 or 2.

There is nothing wrong with the animation in Guild Wars 1 at all - again I haven't played CoH so I don't know about that but it has nothing to do with Anet.

There are also conservative female armour types in Guild Wars 1 too..so yea, you're not doing too well.

Anet marketed Guild Wars for the globe - Competitive PVP had particular appeal for the Asian market and the rest of the game was made for everyone, not a particular region.

Again, NCSoft only publish Guild Wars, they don't have a say in how it turns out.

I'm begging you to research before ranting about something that you are utterly, completely and inconceivably clueless about. I don't mind if you have an opinion about gameplay, but what you have isn't an opinion, it's simple misinformation and jibberish.

The animations in GW is not as bad as the average ncsoft game, but it's far below the standard of games from the bigger AAA MMO developers.

Also publishers most definitely have a say in how a game turns out. In many ways more than the developer itself.

Also no, GW was developed and marketed for the Asian and Asian style fan. You won't find many western GW payers who d t also either watch anime and or play JRPGs.

And oh, really there's a couple of female armory that aren't thongs and bras.... Wow.. That so counters my point

ArenaNet has developed 1 game so far (not counting the different GW chapters as different games, they were all part of the same game), and it didn't feel like any Asian MMO (though I have no clue what stoe means, so maybe you mean something else).

As for armor, did you even play? There's tons of different armor models 17 by my count, and that's only the basic armor, none of the prestige or other armor pieces that don't have a full set. Oh yeah, and those 17 by my count, thats just the style of armor, not the individual models (which is 2 for each class, 6 core classes) which brings the armor model count up to 17 * 12, or 204. And that's not counting all the prestige and single armor pieces, or the classes added in the expansions.

Funny how you consider 204 DIFFERENT armor models as "the same models".

After SWTOR I am giving this game some thought.

I'm still active for the time being on SWToR, but it just isn't what I had hoped. Its another run-of-the-mill mmo that brings nothing new to the table. Lets not forget how bad all the armor looks for virtually every class. Smugglers look like they are stuck in the 70's with harrison ford.

I can't wait for the next beta for Tera. It was the first time I sat in a game for 4 hours and enjoyed every last minute of it.

So like most games TERA seems to be on the road to dying from people abusing the game. Anyone have a suggestion how they can fix it. I mean there are already tons of sites popping up getting read for the main released Taultunleashed (link removed) and MMOViper (link removed), are two examples of this crap going on. Personally i think they should be doing the following to stop botters and cheaters.

1 - Perma ban for being caught cheating or botting (making a quick example of a few will stop the many)
2 - Add a nice detection system or make it so players after x amount of time in an area will be spammed with a question they need to answer to prove they arent botting.
3 - In pvp make it so players can be voted out of a game to stop zone farmers.
4 - For the games first month hire triple the staff to look into people reporting exploits and botting to make all the new joiners enjoy the game.

Anyways those are the top ones i can think of. I was trying to get some cool things together then post it on the official site to see if anyone cares. Frankly i saw SWTOR die from this and i want TERA to do well damnit.

I'll probably give this a shot during open beta, but unless it blows me away i don't see myself getting it. I'm very skeptical about MMOs released now adays. Besides Rift, i can't think of a recent MMO that has lived up to my expectations. I've also heard talk that there's not much going on for Tera at max level. Unless it is shown to me that Tera has the longevity, developer support, and cash flow to be a worthwhile investment for me i will just give it a pass and play WoW as i wait for Guild Wars 2. MMOs are a huge risk for consumers now adays. It always sucks to drop $60 on an mmo, and invest time and money into it only for it to turn into a wasteland a few months later due to lack of sales, community, or developer support.

mmorpg.com still has like 5k left also.

[+McCordRm]

So I was downloading since yesterday and suddenly it froze up. I re-ran the program and logged in.
I found myself at a window stating insufficient privileges. Guess I won't be wasting my time with this one.

[trag3dy]

Yeah, the download and install process for this game is stupid. I've been downloading the god damn game for well over 16 hours. One minute I'll be downloading at 800kbs, the next 30kbs. And then after that it reports that it's "Installing patch - 2 hours left" What the hell???

[Got3n™]

bah no more keys...

You're not missing much, this game is just your typical quest grind korean mmo. I'm level 13 already and I've successfully collected flowers and killed lots of pigs because ???. I don't see this game lasting very long. I can't even say it's that good looking as well.
