There's a lot of cash shop & sub crying going on, but looking at it in the beta it all just seemed to be cosmetic items. People just like to bash Funcom, EA, subs and cash shops. It's the perfect troll-storm

Initial purchase + sub + cash shop, i cried. For that it's got to be better than all the current MMO's.

Life time subs at launch says it all for me, cash grab then skeleton crew of Dev's to fix the game.

On the upside...

The quests are probably the best we've seen in MMO's to date

pre-ordered this week for a number of reasons, one of the biggest is the skill system which gives even the biggest theorycrafters a headache when finding the best possible combinations. Secondly, a lot of big game review names (pcg/ign/TTH/etc...) are ranting and raving about how good the PvE content is, the dungeons and endgame challenges. The tier3 dungeons are meant to be incredibly difficult and provide a challenge for the best raiders out there.

Sure the sub is a bit expensive but i'll decide after the 1st month whether i'm going to pay it, the skill system / pve / story detail / setting is enough to make me get the game, especially after watching various beta testers stream parts of the game that wasnt just the first 30min intro.

I think it's cool. The game isn't too overhyped, and so far all the overhyped games have been disappointing, so maybe it's a good thing.

Still in 2 minds but would have liked the preorder items even though no doubt they'll be useless. Meh don't know!

Sleepery · 29 Jun 2012 at 18:05

Anyone see the pre-order cheaper than €50 anywhere?

Edit - hmm, CJS Keys. Do I dare...

Edit 2 - worked fine, although registered direct on the funcom site rather than through Origin as the site claims. £26 is about right for the game I think.

Nemeses · 29 Jun 2012 at 18:29

Right our Cabal is up and running I'm out for dinner but if you fancy joining us The Immortals send a tell to Durandal in game!

We on Cerberus server.

Why don't they say... from the creators of Age of Conan. Oh that's right, that game tanked harder than a deep space meteor hitting the pacific ocean.

I must say this game is pretty damn good, funny enough I did not enjoy it that much in beta, but am so now, quests are better than I have seen in any mmo of recent, play style is decent, just not sold on the pvp as of yet.

Sleepery · 30 Jun 2012 at 12:57

I'm really enjoying it too, seems a lot more solid than it did in beta. Pity every toon you do is going to have to run through Kingsmouth though, it's Tortage all over again.

spengos · 30 Jun 2012 at 13:00

Thinking about buying this from CJS Keys, can anyone tell me how big the download is for this?

LOL funny thats exactly what I was thinking!

Enjoying this more than I thought I would using a pistol/elementalist build, aiming towards gunslinger. Perfomance seems to be a bit hit and miss at the moment so hopefully improve soon.

Sleepery · 1 Jul 2012 at 18:42

Yeah, my opinion has gone from 'maybe it'll be ok after a few months' to 'wow, this is brilliant". Fair play to Funcom, didn't expect this level of polish at release at all. Like, not in my wildest dreams

I've gone elementalist / blades. Getting some nice synergy between the two, but honestly haven't a clue if it'll work long term.
