NCSoft and Amazon Games bring the F2P MMORPG to a global audience, but will they like it?
A Paragon-inspired project actually see the light of day, but can it compete with a crowded field of MOBAs?
Two bodies, one brain...but does it hold up?
Now:
STAY AWAY this will end up like all their other titles of pure garbage.
WOW, ok where to start: 1) ‘”We’re doing this acrobat routine without a net. We’re going full free. Ground up. We’re not starting as a subscription game and changing. This is a free game from day one. So, our current presale options do not include monthly stipends that usually accompany lifetime subscriptions (like STO). I’m not sure that there’ve been many Western MMORPG”s to do this from the beginning and I’m on the edge of my seat to see what happens. ” – DO you all understand what this means? IT IS EXACTLY LIKE PWE, and all their other titles. THERE ARE NO MONTHLY SUBS in PWE but we all know it is the most expensive “F2P” PAy to win POS on the markey. They are saying the removed the tier payment from STO like it is a good things THIS IS A BAD THING!
2) Star Trek is great because fans pay and ALLOW the market to be balanced with dilithium, in game coins, and cash shop coins. I can level up to level 10 and get over 2K dilithium in quests right now. Go to the market and turn it in for Zenny or put it up to gain in game cash. The prices are balanced because PEOPLE PAY MONTHLY for the tiered BENEFITS.
Now, log into all their other GAMES that have no TIER payments (PWE) and it is all over priced broke economy. The billions of ingame gold to get 1 of anything forces you to do dungeons and attempt to sell the same item to some poor sucker who still doesnt get it. Soon everyone stops bein that sucker, and realisez ‘I need X item to get into dungeon to get item to make money. BUT I cant do item without item so I do not have money…so how to get item to start the cycle?’ YOu pay REAL cash, by the thousans, to stay on this expanding comeptitve edge. Soon, enough suckers stop to exist, only guys with gambeling like addiction problems are there to pump time and or cash into this system and it is a game over scenario. Gamers usually just F2P there for the social aspect not the gameplay. This is something you cannot do in Never Winter as it is instanced world soooo…IT is really a crap chute for the wallet.
3) He sort of lies saying ‘ I’m not sure that there’ve been many Western MMORPG”s to do this from the beginning” HELLOOOO your PWE partnership…all their games started like this! YOURS from CRYPTIC (STO) IS THE ONLY ONE they signed on that has tiers. SO YES, they existed before and they are HORRIBLE!
4) God, brainless consumers wake up! BOYCOTT this garbage! Do not play it unless they install a better F2P model. Frankly, It is not surprising, and Star Trek is the ONLY PWE game I play because CRYPTIC still has a great model at a low price. Id play PWE if it had a sub and sub perks. But as it is , NO TIERS = MAss cash by the thousands to stay competitve.
In conclusion, I am enjoying and not leaving TERA and or AION, their club (tier) model keeps EVERYTHING balanced. I also play STO, and have used enough in game BALANCED play and progress to buy cash shop items (just ships and some crew). I only throw down 15 bucks MAX on these games and maybe once a year….so I am happy. I have been in PWE greedy NON TIERED models. This not only creates vicious cycles of piss poor economy, but does put a cap on game play progression. AVOID THIS TITLE!
Then you have this foundry thing that started in STar Trek and found it's way in every NEW PWE game (except its flag ship titles PW, and FW, and the older ones...LOL). RaiderZ was a joke with this model and a total flop.
So STar Trek as a FLIP, RaiderZ as a FLOP. Here we go PWE, what ya gonna do? May the force be with you CRYPTIC! We all know (those that understand the biz) that this project is paid for x5 over, so please stop begging for coke and hooker vegas cash from the community!
Thx in advance^^
