been doing some research and read the blogs and this game sounds like a true mmo. the team sounds like they actually understand how to make a mmo with longevity instead of the gear grind that gets kind of old and stale after a few months just to find your gear that you worked hard for get replaced. nothing wrong with those types of games for people that like them but I want something more out of an mmo.
just some simple suggestions i would like to make for the devs to consider.
1. make leveling actually hard and a bit time consuming. im currently playing swtor and while i enjoy the game the leveling was way too fast for me. i want slower advancement and i want the advancement to mean something when i get there. I know they have stated this is their plan but devs please stick to that plan and dont try to make the game for the me want it now crowd.
2. make a skill based game where levels are not as important as how many skills you have. I know this is your stated intent, just follow through with it.
3. allow us to make our own customizable character class instead of premade ones.
4. please no tab target with auto hit on abilities and spells. for some inspiration on how to do combat right take a look at asherons call combat. you can dodge spells in that game if you do it right or arrows and you have to be close to a target to hit it with a melee weapon. please bring that back to the mmo genre where pvp requires some player skill and not just character stats.
overall i like what im reading so far about the game. ive been waiting for a dnd type fantasy game that is a true sandbox since i was a kid playing table top rpg games. noone has really ever delivered that in a computer game so far except maybe ultima online which i never did get a chance to play. seems like you guys got it right if you stick to what you have stated in your blogs and I personally cant wait to see what you guys come up with as a final product. if this game turns out to be what your blog posts indicates then ill be here for a long long while even if it has a few bugs and problems. stick to the vision you guys have stated and I shall be a very happy mmo customer.
