Lol if you think that the group being disbanded / everyone being kicked doesn't happen in every game goons play together in. The kicking of GOON members in planetside 2 had wayyy more drama than this one.

Yeah this. It's almost like every experienced goon who understands How poo poo Works planned ahead and wasn't affected in the slightest.

I'm waiting to see the poo poo storm when Trion closes the low pop servers and forcibly relocates their populations to the ones that remain.

It'll take quite a bit longer yet for that to happen but its going to be good.

Unrelated but not worth a new post:



That only took me over 200 posts being utterly disparaging in every single one since alpha. Apparently their marketing director is Polly Prissypants and finally did something about it and it was probably one of my mildest ones.

No but there might be land or something in Black Desert so you should totally pre-order the early access edition at $150, $200 a right bargain $250. Quick order now, if not sooner.

I mean its not like there is precedent for another KMMO crashing and burning horribly after being a blatently incompetent cash grab on a completely unfixable busted open back end married to a complete lack of endgame content - right?

Logged in today. Used one of those custom image potions to copy a real life "for sale" sign and stuck it on my 16x16 cottage. Sold it to the first person who came by for a thousand gold. He was so excited to finally get land it was painful to see :stonk:

Bought a heroic epherium meadow staff that already won the stat re-roll lottery. Logged off without even bothering to cast a spell and try it out.

Yeah it all went downhill after Alpha didn't it? gently caress Trion Worlds and Scott Hartsman.

Anyway, went back to Secret World and it has fifty times the content this lovely game ever did. Funcom even release new content for it now! :toot:

Edit: I guess it's a tutorial, with some game footage and some cutscenes? Not sure.

Doesn't a game still have to be online to receive a content update though?

I mean, its the second week of December and Trion hasn't even bothered to do a Xmas promotion. I'm guessing the player metrics are gently caress-awful and they're just coasting along going "gently caress it".

A Christmas promotion usually involves a sale. Something tells me after the recent "gift" as an apology for the down time Trion has no interest in giving out any further discounts. They are probably also trying to just keep their heads down and not draw any further attention to the game for now. There has been a lot of incredibly negative publicity lately.

I can't imagine any functional business not taking advantage of Xmas hype to make extra money.

I suppose the key word is "functional".

Rift was a legitimately good MMO that then got trashed just as badly as this game. It's easily one of the worst on the market now after getting brutalized by the F2P model. Rest in peace Trion.

You aren't wrong. I was going to reload it and try out Nightmare Tide since it wasn't going to cost me anything just to dip my toes. Then I saw this: http://www.riftgame.com/en/nightmare-tide/collectors-editions/

Yes that's right, if you don't buy the $24.95 infusion edition you miss out on "2 New Equipment Slots" and the ability to even loving wear the new water gear. :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure that $150 pack is the only way to get an aquatic mount too, which is also required since apparently the new zone has pockets of air/water everywhere. Or I guess you can run a lot?

Anyway point being: gently caress Trion. Anything they touch turns to poo poo if it doesn't bomb at launch anyway.

The game is however doomed to just fart around in limbo with no real updates beyond what's live now in Korea since the developer has mostly moved on and is just keeping the lights on while pumping out the occasional cash shop item. It could go on like that for years, I just don't see it getting any better is my point.

Yeah this. Literally the only updates the game is ever going to receive are more cash shop items. That's it.

You can forget new races etc because the original developers have moved onto other projects.

I'm fairly sure my AA is working and I didn't do anything special. Maybe its just a config issue with your video card drivers or something?

Try uninstalling them and run whatever is the appropriate registry cleaner then give your catalyst/nvidia drivers another go. If that doesn't work you're probably best trawling a hardware site.

I think its worthy of a footnote but its destined to become one of those forgotten MMOs that crawls along for eternity in a back catalog running on a dusty server with a very small niche player base.

The hacker problem will go away once the player base finishes dying off to a bare skeleton because it just won't make them money at that point.

It was mandatory for everyone yet they claimed it counted as the final part of the season pass. It completely hosed what was left of the game at the time and even hold outs like myself left and never looked back. :toot:
