sinking ship

[farls]

Yeah, real funny...
Well, people with accounts do log in and complain on the actual forums as well. It's just that those forums can not be read by visitors that might want some info on Ryzom. Another thing is that the actual forums are mostly inhabited by the fanbois. So if you've got something negative to say, even if it's a valid point, you will be crucified by the "Ryzomsect".

Oh, I get it. If you actually play the game, you're a fanboi.

The reason you see different kinds of post in the registered forums is because a good majority of the critical post actually have valid points and people discuss them. They might say "This game isn't for me because...” or "There needs to be a change in..." Now compare that to comments such as "sinking ship" and a list off things that have been discussed over and over, things that are being fixed, and things that are just flat out wrong.

So as long as someone says it, it's a valid point? If he would have said something about Tryker harvesting - OK, there's a point. Saying Ryzom is a sinking ship because their are not enough MOBs? That's an opinion or ignorance or both, take your pick.

My replys in bold

- lack of interesting quests

Was stated next patch, if you did not try to power level youd find a fair amount to do, im stil lvery much enjoying the exploration and social side

- boring harvesting, no visual clues or a smart thought out system

Best harvesting system i have seen, visual clues are there if you know where to look, explosions, depleations, kami resistance, skil lchoices, very good imo

- ranged combat useless

Not useless, just very exspensive. You can pay your own way if you do it right

- suckling yubo, weanling yubo, etc etc yubo, how spectacular, fighting the same yubo, only harder, over and over again.....not

i ran out into the next "zone" and found a whole new bunch of critters id not seen before

- spells are not very exciting, you're going to spend a lot of time with acid 1, acid 2, acid 3, cold 1, cold 2, cold 3, etc.

err... look at the spell lists, i need not say more

- mainland is too hard compared to the max. level 20 creatures from starter island

I went to mainland at 20 on 2 of my charecters. i was fine. Trykers is the only one i had trouble with but thats only because i did not tay long. Know what to fight and where and when and its pretty easy

- lack of proper explanation of the skills

I agree, but simple enouth to ask

- it's very much in the same state as it was in the beta

lol... err.. no

- some content still not in the game, no mounts, no encyclopedia etc.

welcome to the world of MMORPG's

All in all the visuals in the game are truly beautiful, but in the end it's gameplay that matters. Like the title said, this game really is a sinking ship.

im still partying on deck, the only sinking is the added weight of new players

As fpr being a "fanboi", other than being physicaly incorrect, by the "common" definition, that would mean i would support and praise this game what ever happend...

nope cant say im a "fanboi" just a fan

[evalisa]

there will be pvp in the form of guild battles for outposts
other than that i am unsure

Well, there IS a lack of interesting quests, ranged combat IS useless, there IS a lack of proper explanation of the skills and some content that should be in the game IS NOT in the game. That is not an opinion, it's fact. How would you like it if you bought a tv and you come home and find out it isn't working. You call the shop and they tell you, "oh sorry sir, the parts to make it work will be delivered some time in the future". Yeah right, but my guess is that you think that's just an opinion.....

A closer comparison would be:
I bought a TV that I think is great. Then I realized the HDTV hookup isn't showing true HDTV, there was a problem with the firmware of some chip. And it is only capable of showing 9478 channels. The TV company told me if I don't like the TV, I have 30 days to try it free. They also said that they will have a fix for my HDTV hookup soon. Because the company believes the channels to be adequate for now, there are no immediate plans for increasing it.

I have a choice. I love everything about my TV except the stupid hookup. If HDTV is that important to me, I turn it in and buy another brand. If I'm willing to wait and enjoy everything else on the set until then, I will.

Now, a valid complaint would be "This sucks. I'm getting rid of this TV. I wanted HDTV now."

A relative example of troll would be:
"This is the worst TV ever! This crapastic company will be gone in a month! There are hundreds of better TV's! You guys are idiots for ever even considering looking at this TV! 9478 channels is soooo boring. All of the channels are the same. Even with HDTV this TV will suck. Goodbye forever losers!"
