I was originally looking forward to this game because I love customization. The problem with it is the balance, perhaps at the outgo things are going to seem quite balanced, but as it stands new players are going to have a tough time because thats what it was like towards the end of the closed beta for new players, getting paired up against 4 people with upgrades at such high levels you didn't stand even an inkling of a chance. And when you make 8-9 different guns for a shooter and you only ever get killed by 2 or 3 different ones there is definately something off with balance. Perhaps they will fix this down the road, but my pocket change is light so I'll be holding off for something a little more engaging that doesn't have you doing the same thing over and over again for hours on end.
At the moment I enjoy the game very much and am having a lot of fun playing the game, and thus for the time being not paying it. I have faith, especially with the outcry and whatnot from other players, that they will fix the problems in the future, possibly before they cause any harm to my current play time. Thus I will play and not pay.... simple as that.
they did get some pretty good feedback, although some of the actually written comments may not be the nicest ways or the best ways of offering that feedback, it stays to place that on the forum poll 95% of people who voted (which is now over 300 people) have chosen that the prices are unreasonable. That is no tiny percent.
If the mechanic causes as many problems as so many expect it will no doubt be deleted, changed/fixed, or completely redesigned... it is still beta afterall.
Spending my time playing Dragon Age and leveling my scout a bit in allods online to hopefully be able to test out a few more areas and abilities before it closes... can't wait for open beta when everything I do will really matter.
Lots of games coming out this year, I'm looking forward to allods, FFXIV, FFXIII, Dantes Inferno mostly. Those are the games I'm keeping an eye on for this upcoming year.
Work is usually the core of my weekends, but between shifts more than likely I will continue what I started this week, allods beta. Although I don't want to get too far in the game just for it to be wiped I feel the need to atleast hit 15 so I can understand runes a little better.
