If you're not interested, get out. If you claim you know what you're talking about, rebut their arguments intelligently. "PvP is terrible" is phrased as an opinion, it's phrased a statement of fact so you need to support it, otherwise you are, indeed, merely trolling. The PvP is deep, complex, input-intensive and skill-reliant, and if you disagree I suggest you watch that video.

No it was not a statement of fact, anything I write with the name "Jihad" will be an opinion, I'm not going to tag my posts stating that everytime, this is a forum.

Got to lvl 25 on the necro, but to be honest, i feel like im running about solo. Most of my mates play EVE or WOW. so removed the game from my PC.

There are bugs, but nothing too bad it stops you as a single player running about doing things. After lvl 20 it ges easier as the amount of quests you can do tripples! and a lot are just, go kill X creature and come back, get about 5 of them going and thats a lvl done. Its a easy game to play, but i am going to wait about 6 months and see if they make it better.

Back to eve for me.

Have a feeling that my 30 days is probably up too.
Not touched the game in about 2 weeks, so won't be renewing. Just hasn't captured my interest like WoW did on release. Might try it again in a few months.
 
For me it was a combination of things all coming together - getting to the top of black castle, which was a woeful excuse for a dungeon, finding the 'get the potion book' quest near the top bugged so I couldn't complete it after fighting my way up there, hitting level 31 and realising I'd had no new skills (only upgrades) for about 8 levels, and in the same dungeon getting a level 30ish armour drop with significantly worse stats than the level 20 piece I had on.

The core gameplay mechanic is fun, and some of the zones are very well put together, but I realised there was just too much unfinished, I'll check it out again in a year.
 
Just to cheer up anyone who's having 50-70 level range blues, personally I'm finding it much more enjoyable 75-77.

Lots of group quests and actually the dungeons are much better than they have been in the lower levels, bigger with multiple paths through and some very tough boss fights.

Guild towns are broken. Ours had almost all the tier 1 buildings up and running and they do NOTHING. The devs put the mechanism in to actually place the buildings, but nothing else. It's just not finished. It might as well be a half finished Unreal 3 level for all the good it does.

Sieges?? Have you seen the uproar about the one siege that's taken place so far? It was so bad that there's a producers letter at logon promising to fix it all.

I agree it's good to have to work for something, but it's a pain to work for something only to find it's either broken or not in the game at all.

What happened? I didn't know a siege had been done already o.O

Ahhhhh, ok...

I turn shaddows off as i dont need them, they only add atmosphere to the game and with them off you get a huge boost in FPS if running high...

The game is very much like ARMA & Crysis in the fact that we are running in DX9 because if DX10 was available it would look better but run even worst...

Also the fact that a patch needs to come out so the game takes use of all hardware and actually runs smooth then as atm on high it doesnt run as its should...

But its a new game and i reckon its superb!

Took along time to get these notes out.
Still no fix for the Trader :( But bigger bags and male or female pets for Demo's!

The bags thing is well overdue. Excessively limited bag space just makes things boring, rather than improving realism or anything else.

No new quests for my level (45) but they've said they're working on these, but it would be nice to see a few things now.

No changes for the Guardian either, not that I'm complaining since I personally have no major issues with the class so far.

That’s good to know, when I was early/mid 50's everything dried up and I ended up doing the houses in the Nobel district more times than id like to admit just to get a few levels :)
Late 50's were better but now I’m hitting mid 60's it’s starting to dry up again :(
Do you guys get memory errors or loading errors when changing areas? these are my 2 biggest problems with the game and I never had any problems until a patch about 2 weeks ago :(
