To b or not to b, that is the question
Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The cs and ds of outrageous fortune,
Or to take up arms against an e of troubles
And, by opposing, f them?
I'm surprised that TSW didn't make this list TBH - it has some really nice story elements and lots of puzzle-type play.
Overall, I personally think that it could have been better to have developed it as a solo game rather than an MMO.
I also think…
I wholeheartedly agree with you. When magic becomes normal it leaves the realm of the mysterious and becomes simply another technology.
I'd love a game that had magic as a rare, perhaps even alien, thing. I like Game of Thrones for this, as well …

Why the hell does Rift have 50% more hours played than WoW? I would think if Rift was the #1 game over WoW they'd be crowing about it more.

Neither, really - I prefer low fantasy.
A well-crafted, immersive, coherent ,self-consistent world that doesn't rely on too many cliches is probably more important to me, however.
E.g. I liked Dishonored's world (both the low magic and the steampu…
My favourite system is the AoC one, which is more AoE/aimed. I find the GW2 system ok, but never really feel like a "healer" per se. That said, I really dislike the "traditional" select-target-and-heal that so many others appear to enjoy.
Graphics-wise, my favourite options have to be AoC and GW2, though honorable mention goes to TSW (narrative matters!)
More important than graphical quality, however, is what graphical style you're interested in, and also what you want the graphics …
I've always thought that TSW would have have been better as a single-player RPG...the atmosphere and story type stuff were the best part of the game IMO.
For me,the MMO tropes in the game clashed with that at times.
If TSW had released as a single…
Always good to see someone look at the positives as well as negatives.
That said, I don't agree with some of the points -
Roles are horribly underexplained and unclear - this is kind of true, but then again, being a "jack of all trades" seems a l…
I'd say to myself "Hey man, you know that crazy idea you have about a Sylvari engineer. Don't do it, m'kay? Go for a charr - you'll enjoy it more - trust me on this"
Ah well....at least I like 4 out of the 5 races...
We get that you don't like the game, but you offer little justification for your opinion...and much of what you do offer is either subjective or wrong. Only thing I agree with is the lack of ability to choose a 2ndary prof.
Thus far, you've offere…

Shouldn't really be a surprise IMO - Ragnar's strength is storytelling, and I imagine it's a part of the game design process that he both likes and can (hopefully) turn to a profit.

Trion's update speed and quality control is fantastic, and has set a high bar in this area for other MMOs to match - other companies could learn from Trion's example here.
However, I found the combat rather dull as a whole. Macros were a really ba…
Well, I'm enjoying it. I end up getting Bartle-typed as an explorer, and don't give 2 hoots about gear progression beyond any basic level required to overcome challenges, so no suprise there.
I've found that I enjoy situations more when I get more…
