THIS is why I fracking LOVE Trion. Thanks for Listening!

so which is it then? an mmo or tps? cause you surely dont seem to know

it's both, a MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online, TPS = Third person shooter

Farming key codes ridiculously fast and have one widespread type of content reward practically nothing are certainly not the same thing.
Every other activity you could possibly undertake in this game is now more rewarding than doing emergencies.

Not to mention the blatant fact that no other activity in the game is anywhere near as obtrusive as a Monarch or freaking bumper car hellbug eggs popping up when you're just trying to get from point A to point B.

At least before the "fix" you had a consolation prize for the aggravation.

New graphics?

I dunno if they're new, or just smoothed out.
My game play is about 20% smoother since the server was down for that extra hour this AM.
I don't know why, nobody else is noticing or commenting, but it looks like a different game since this A.M.

I mean, everything is still in the same places and all, they just all look so *different*.

I don't know about any of you, but I bought this game to play an MMO. They would work on making this an MMO before they mess up PvE balance with PvP like every other MMO has.

The PVE is mindlessly easy. How could they mess it up by balancing for PVP? Has there been anything you've found challenging in PVE?

Which other MMO's have messed up PVE by balancing for PVE? Certainly not WOW. The reverse is almost assuredly true for that game. This is a commonly stated reason that generally comes when someone's favorite mindlessly easy combo...lets say cloak/shotgun gets nerfed for entire game balance.

Uh huh. Its still an MMO hybrid. Still has MMO bugs.

There is way to much about PvP in that. They should focus on PvE since the whole idea of the game is to tie into a TV show that is driven by story.

I'd have to agree with that.

There are so many dude-bro PvP games already out there, and trying to get a piece of that already saturated market I don't think will work out the way they think it will. On the other hand, this is the first game that I can think of that's twitch based, multiplayer, MMO, and PvE. I hope they don't lose focus on that, and go the easy route with adding PvP content. I can see they would do it, since adding new maps is all that is needed to keep the PvP crowd happy, while PvE players expect more.

Namely by increasing EGO and rarity scaling of weapons.

Just imagine having to go back and kill those damned mutants at the Mt Tam radio towers for the umpteenth time and it being even more of a faceroll than it already is.

[grooboggle]

Any game that has had or has competitive play or rankings the best players are almost universally from the PVP side regardless of metric. It's not because they are all cheaters. The good ones will seek to get every possible legitimate advantage and take it. If that isn't someone's preferred playstyle fine, but it smacks of hypocrisy to judge it worse than being totally noncompetitive.

Sure but they could balance the PVE by making it significantly more difficult, though I am not certain that is what people want. Ultimately if everyone has the same access to powers the game is balanced. However it is flawed in design if there are only 2 of 4 powers that are considered useful in PVP or PVE. If the metrics show that Blur and Decoy hardly ever are used in any situation they need buffed...or I suppose the other powers need nerfed.

They'd basicly shoot themselves as soon as you enter their vincinity. : O

If players get buffed without some tuned up content ... people will have to play one handed to get any challange out of coops ... with a blindfold.
