The way the game starts out really is bad. There was like a 20 min cut scene to start things off. Then once I got to the city and was able to move around there was nothing but fetch and talk quests. It took close to an hour before I was actually able to engage in combat, and even then it was killing lady bugs and squirrels. Things picked up a bit around level 4 or 5. I wouldn't say this is the worst MMO I've played, but its certainly the worst beginning experience. Even Scarlet Blade's early game was better.
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
I have choice words but would be accused of trolling I will simply say:
If their other mmorpg is still going for over 10 years (I think) and is still subscription based. Who on earth are you to come here and have an opinion like that without having experienced the whole game, you couldnt have for 1 days pre-launch/beta.

Start in that muddled mess of a t own called guardania and show me the exit. There were no clear signs on the map and asking numerous times in-chat no one could help. It was all trial by error. Meh

If you zoom into the map it names the exits.
Sheesh!
Normal adults I beg you please if you want to try the game go ahead please don't listen to the trash talk that falls to every new game on this forum.

I was letting my 4 year old daughter play around on some toons i was messing with and she found her own way out of 2 different starting cities. LOL! maybe you should try a little harder.
Also graphics are good. Not the best, but, all the games i know with the best graphics aren't worth you know what because gameplay beats all.
It is ok for you to have an opinion of the game but i think instead of raging because it is not your cup of tea or you are just having a hard time learning maybe just move on bro. Not all MMOs are for everyone. I think most people knew this was going to be for fans of final fantasy and made for our liking, not to please everyone and i am happy certain people are already being winged out.
The game to me is too good for it to be influenced by bad attitudes.
I wish you the best of luck on a MMO you do enjoy though friend.
What a dumb post, the game went live for EA 12 hours ago.....
FFXIV Crafting is actually really good, but you wont get that far to see how unique yoru character can be, or how good the story is or how everything gets a ton better once you complete a few missions.
For you to state its the worst MMO experience to date...well what was your best then? I find it har dto think that you enjoyed anything...because pretty much everything else atm is trash.
Logged in. Character creation is nothing new. Then the dreaded cinematics of 'you are the hero' guff. After this the game went from bad to worse. The area is started in Old Guildania was just running from quest to quest in a heavily instanced home area. Badly designed cities made it all repetitive and confusing. After an hour i was dying of boredom. Even age of conan was more interesting.
Everyone looks like clones of each other. SWTOR deja vu!!!!
I have a high end system and wasn't amazed by the graphics even on high detail. To make matters worse the day/night cycles are so short like an hour . And i hate playing a game in such short cycles. Nighttime just feels so bland.
The map is dreadful so don't rely on it. The music score was plain awful. Was like being a a folk festival where you hate the singer. Like a bad version of LOTRO.
All in all ill give it 6 months before it crashes. Lucky i got my pre-order refunded. Another hype turkey bites the dust. Meh
Great that you got a refund so we don't have to listen to your whining.

Your opinion is yours but, few will share it.
I don't care about a story. Heard enough drivel from SWTOR thanks. At least they had a skip button lol.

Originally posted by StarI I have to agree, after 15 years of MMOs and seeing loads of bad releases, this is the first time I didn't even receive early acces code from SE, so I can't even TRY to log in. Support is unresponsive past 2 days too. I guess the que is abnormal which tells a lot about scale of problems.
just logged in just fine scale of problems my butt

Not saying it is Calculus, but I found it really retarded that as soon as I get past those horrible cut scenes I was dropped right into a city with 100's of other players...
Horrible idea.

If you zoom into the map it names the exits.

Exactly, if the game is SO good why are you here on your Saturday talking about it instead of PLAYING IT?

One could counter that by asking, "If you don't like the game that much, why bother even joining a thread to talk about it/bash it?" Just saying if we are doing that horrible argument.

Plus I have 2 screens so while I auto run I can tab and type to make posts.
I love players like the OP. They state their opinion as though it's fact, and when someone calls him out for it, he insists that's how he meant it. "This IS" not "I THINK".....see the difference, fail troll? Game is great, and I'm not a huge FF fan. You don't like it. Grats. No one cares. Have fun going back to WoW with the rest of the terrible community who sits around and complains about every game everyday.
Indeed all hype turkeys are great till after a month. Then the cracks start to show. This game was re-born and it beggars belief how bad the starter zones are. First impressions last. Meh
People have become too used to arrows pointing them in the direction they need to be going. The map, while not the best of maps in MMORPGs, took me 5 minutes to figure out. 5 minutes people. I understand that the new generation of impatient gamers don't want to take 2 seconds to learn anything, but the map in this game is very simple.
Guess future MMORPG's need to have running lights to each quest. Maybe they need to just add bots so you don't even have to play your character. You can just watch the character play by itself.

Umm, in two of the three cities, you start right next to an exit.
