    Re: Official OS General MMO Information Thread

    I'll probably give it another shot this weekend, really gave it just the sitting last weekend and never really got far... just to the first ship and into the next area, but not sure anything will really change.

      Once you get out of that area, it got way better for me. I would say to try to get to 20 to try out the first dungeon. Before that, there's the shiphand which is a mini-dungeon of sorts.

          Do I need a new key if I was in last weekend?

            Yep, I believe this one is a separate test.

            Just grab one from one of the sites I posted in that link (I used ZAM, since that was easiest for myself.)

              There's a disconnection issue (not sure if its still current as I just logged in for the day) that the build is seeing. I kind of like the announcement thing that they have with dev's, feels a bit more personal with the message rather than "We're fixing things, ETA is sometime in 2014"

                Yup, sounds like they said something with the AI was programming it?

                Regardless, I'm really enjoying playing Engineer so far. I've been playing for 2 or so hours? Got 3 d/c's so far... 2 recently. Outside of that I'm having much more fun this go round.

                Only up to level 7 now of course, but still having fun. It seems that when I get D/C'ed though I need to reset some of my settings - which I hate doing.

                  What do you guys think after trying another weekend?

                    This was my first time playing, and I didn't really dig it.

                      Probably not going to find the time this weekend.

                        I want to try ArcheAge but there's no way I'm paying $150 to play the alpha of a Free-to-Play game.

                          I played the Korean version for 2-3 months before it went F2P.

                          Was interesting, but nothing stood out to me in particular. Wasn't a bad game by any means, I had fun in it. Didn't like the shift to F2P at all, though, and gave my account away after that. Interested in seeing how Trion handles it for the West. I'll probably download it and futz around in it from time to time, but the second they announced it was F2P (their restrictions seem to suck as well, from what I understand) it became nothing more than a "hey I'm bored of grinding in this game, I'll hop on this for 10-20 minutes to do nothing."

                          RE: WildStar. This weekend was a mixed bag. I love the game. It's a blast as an engineer. However, technically speaking, it sucked this weekend. Friday was full of disconnects. After they got the D/C problem fixed, the AI/combat response is super laggy. It's all server side too. Can attack and the health bar doesn't update until the enemy is at 0.

                          I have no doubts they'll get it fixed (it wasn't broken like this before this weekend) but there is work to be done. It was probably a terrible weekend to have a first experience.

                          I've enjoyed the Settler path, I've actually done tradeskills (I like the way their "discovery" on them is.) Housing seems like it will be a pretty sweet addition, with the way the plots are set up and everything else. It's one of the very few MMOs I've had this much fun with pre-end-game stuff, which is supposedly the games strong point... which makes me a happy camper.

                            What kind of F2P model were they using? Trion's approach with Rift going free-to-play was one of the more tolerable for me, especially when you compare it to SWTOR.

                            That reminds me, Defiance will be going free-to-play on June 4th. July 15th for PS and Xbox users will have to wait longer with no date set.

                            This weekend seems to be bad for Wildstar. Last weekend there were none of these issues with the disconnects and lag response. Last week's major issue revolved around the NPCs who decided to float about 100 ft. above the ground where you couldn't click them.

                              Korea was a different beast for gaming, since A LOT of their gaming revolves around internet cafes - and XLGames supports some of them (so for say... every dollar that the PC Bang ones bring in, XLGames would receive like 10-20 cents from that.)

                              I copied/pasted this from ArcheAge Source, it's fairly long so I'll put it in spoilers. They were a great resource for me when I was playing it still. Only changes I made to it were minor formatting changes.
