GW2 started is all with their BS. Any sharded game like GW2 or Defiance will have no socialization. But no one really cares because we don't want to socialize anyway.
chat system and the UI really needs to be worked on.
MMOs are great, til you add people. I personally do not want to socialize with 90% of the people in the game. I enjoy gaming with my friends and on occassion, other randoms online. However, we are all different in our own little ways. Ergo, you will have hatred for one another. So here's what you do. Play the game you want to because none of us paid for your game and therefore cannot tell you how to play the game. And likewise, if someone doesn't want to talk to you or help you, that's their choice, you didn't buy the game for them and they don't have to help you. I hate to say it. I'm not trying to be mean, just stating fact. I would love to revived from others, but I don't. Oh well, I move on and keep on killing.
It's fine if you don't want to socialize -- just ignore the chat system. However, it does severely detract from the player experience (especially for a MMO) when there's no real socialization.
I agree, mark my words this game will fail and die because of this one reason, I to feel like i wander around for 6 hours and never speak to anyone, its the most antisocial boring mmo ive ever played, and im f serious when i say Runescape was 1 million times more fun and social. here its jsut a bunch of mindless npc's and players who may as well be npc's
p.s. they never f revive me either...
