Buckshot

Unfortunately this is a niche game for sure, pretty much any game that PVP is the core and has what the average gamer considers severe penalties will always be a niche game. Kids dont like losing their pixels. If you played SB then you know that game was never mainstream, never had that many playing the game and except for the ones you told about it to give it a shot, you never heard anyone talking about it in the real world. Of coarse I never cared if nobody else heard of it or played it as I liked it and thought it was close to perfect in concept, if you dont count the bugs and crap that was always present. But if you cant make real money off of it, it will never be mainstream or sustainable and will never be as polished and complete as a game like WOW. How many vaporware games have we seen worked on that never got off the ground or cancled before it even made it to beta? Too many to count and lots of them had what looked like a good idea. UO2 anyone??I sure hope these guys can pull it off and I will be watching closely. We are a rarer breed and the minority in the gaming world, and that means we will always be hoping and wishing somebody comes along with the perfect solution and it makes it big. But if your honest, the odds are agaist this if you go by history of the last 20yrs.

Lot of assumtions , but its all we got... Leaning Stalker right now, only because it says straight up ranged DPS, but so many others dont tell enough...I like the Duelist, Ranger and Confessor as well with only seeing a picture and hoping they are what they appear to be....

Personally I hate leveling, its a big factor in why I quit games for sure. Shadowbane was just enough leveling to learn your toon and be ready to go in a week at most. I work, have a wife and kids and the last thing i want to is to work on the game just to be able to do anything worth while for hours on end. I want to jump on and go kill some folks and be in the mix as soon as possible. Getting PLed by a druid is a waste of time. If I log in for an hour I want to be able to fight, pillage etc right away and enjoy my time. Of Coarse its a race to the end in PVP games, otherwise your going to die too often and not get things done. If you like taking your time and killing ogres all day, PVP games are not where its at. There are plenty of games that will let you level to your hearts content and about the time you get close to the cap they raise it 10 more levels.

I agree, I hope that was a general statement and not a set in stone race/class combo only. People are not going to like that. Plus it kills the mystery a bit, is that a fairy (insert class here) or another class. If you see a fairy its an assasin period just isnt as exciting...I can see some class restrictions of coarse.

Ok Im here, so you can start beta now.... Yo Kal where ya at?
