Lol, fanboy nubs. “Wah! Wah! The mean man insulted my crappy game.”

Nah, that’s completely inaccurate. No one in their right mind would “kneel deferentially” more than once: they might get ganked while locked in an emote.

On a more serious note, yes, some classes can still one-shot others. Strangely enough, stealth types are not really in that category. It’s mostly healers (Tempests of Set) and mages (Nightfall Necromancers) who can do it. And Funcom will eventually nerf -those- classes into oblivion….

I think your follow up article definately points out your complete lack of knowlege in this case. I’m not real sure whether you are just buddies with someone at Vox or if their standards are just completely non-existant when it comes to who is going to write for them. Either way, you are completely uninformed and ignorant excuse for a writer.

This site is ridiculous.The author is getting linked to from other reputable sites about an opinion piece he wrote about a game he never even played.I’m removing this bs site from my bookmarks after I post this. The author is trying to get some kind of cred as…what, a game journalist? But he doesn’t play the games he writes about..
Might as well be submitting reviews of the new BMW over at Car and Driver too after just reading other people’s reviews and looking at the pictures.
What a joke.

Thanks for more opinion from the guy “Who never played the game” (end quote).

Fail again since most people, I’d say 90%, don’t even teabag. The game has done near a complete 180 since launch.

Well,

It seems that you agree with my critique of your original article.

That the real issue is not any of the game “flaws” you erroneously reported but that it has devolved into a hard core PVP gank fest.

I don’t disagree. To find out why it REALLY happened though, try reading my blog on the subject.

(And yes folks, I was level 57 when I quit.)

P.S. Attacking your readers makes you a poor writer. They disagree with you. get over it or stop writing.

This is sad. Like, shaking my head as I’m reading it sad. The original article had some decent points about a deeply flawed game, but it didn’t really expound on them very much. This, on the other hand, is just standard issue whining. Getting ganked does not make a game bad – though it can mean it’s not for someone with your tastes.

Anyone who writes such a scathing review of anything, 7 months after launch, who hasn’t even looked at the game in 6 months has two things going. One-the media he writes for has serious credibility problems, and TWO- the author has serious credibility issues as well.

The Civil war is not still going on..and Lee is dead..Hence a conclusion can be made. AoC is still going on, and “Lee” was fired and replaced with a competent, and proven leader.

Your comparison is garbage, but to at least be a little more accurate, it would have been like writing a retrospective on the civil war, after only reading about the first few battles…IE you most likely would have written that the South has won…and you would have been laughed out of the historic community.
