The sad part to me is that Marvel missed the best storyline for this by about 4 years

Civil War would have made the perfect 2 faction story line.

Whatever this game is it looks like a ps2 game done mmo style in the making.

The failing here was one of expectations and communication (for those of us who actually got to play it). This event was meant to be a ribbon cutting to the new 20 man dungeon, nothing more. People got overly excited and dissappointed when their (my) barely 50 noobkins went in the portal and proceded to get their butts handed to them by 52 elites(that was the trash that one shotted ya).

I see 2 senarios where this event would have been much better recieved

1) Had this been the opening to a 5 man dungeon that was tuned for starting 50's (yes lowbies would have complained about that too but right now there are a lot of new 50's so timing would have been better)

2) Having released this event 2 months from now when a more signifigant % of the 50 pop has gotten geared through first Raid environment.

The fizzle came from the fact that 95% of the people who showed up for the event not even remotely equipped to handle the Raid...

Back in Burning Crusade a similar thing happened when Isle of Quel was released and every 70 around wanted to test out Magister's Terrace on day1.

I talked to a few people that are in the upper guilds and they thought the event was great....why...because they jumped into the portal as a Raid ready to get to business and did so.

GREAT TRY TRION just remember that too much too soon can be as bad as not enough. Please don't let this discourage you guys in the slightest...Some stuff will suck some will rock .. At least we know ya care!

If you haven't tried this game yet this weekend would be an excellent opportunity to do so. Smooth game play and when there are issues they aren't let loose on the live server. If this is your first visit this weekend..don't let the starting area dissuade you...the 1st 7-8 levels are pretty much a tutorial and the game in earnest begins after you do this area.

Pocket legends has the feel of a real MMO for an android platform

That makes it sound like this engine is what should be used for the next Neverwinter Nights type of outing rather than w/e nightmare cryptic will give us,

Micro Subs would be perfect... Let me pay $5 for a 96 hr block of time once a month or so. EQ2 started something similar and I truly believe the micro sub will be the next big thing for pay modules.

I actually resubbed this month because of an email telling me the foundry had gone live (Been waiting to try it out for ages as I am sure its the basis of the new NWN game cryptic is doing).

So here we are then at the pre pre pre alpha for neverwinter online then since the foundry is the heart and soul of what neverwinter online 2011 is supposed to be...hopefully this means that we see that beta soon

I generally am willing to have 2 open subs at a time For many years was WoW and flavor of the month but recently did the 3 month commitment for RIFT for a total of 4 mths game time from launch that should be enough time to go through content 2x and see what kind of release an mmo has..

personally I would love to see the rise of Microsubs....ie $5 weekly or even $1 daily subs.........I would prob have endgame toons in almost every mmo of I had an option like that available to me

. A week at a time may not generate the tight knit guild feeling but would be a lot easier to jump into say AoC or WAR again for $5 to check it out for a week of my choosing rather than a weekend of overcrowded returnees and neyseyers doing the free weekend

well i guess i spoke to soon on the ptr (ie alpha client) lol.


I agree that alt rolling on here is not so good yet I hope they add a 2nd continent eventually (seeing how races appear to be glorified skins here the idea of adding racing with new starting zones for them seems likely for an expansion)

Im actually more interested in some beta type news on the syfy crossover game. That sounds like it could be either awesomeness or truly epic fail..either way will be fun to witness.
