Substitute game gripe thread? May I?
CO:
- No villain faction
- I hate the style
- Setting:Neo-Detroit or something...
- Red Banner Cult being engrish speaking stereotypes is bad taste
- Annoying, adoring public
- No villain faction
- I am unable to recreate my characters in a manner resembling their CoH originals
- Owned by Perfect World Entertainment (6 years and I am still bitter about their namesake game)
- The survey method of earning Zen cheats me %90 of the time
- No villain faction
- No villain faction
- No villain faction
- No villain faction
- No villain faction
I had fun with the combat system but from an RP standpoint I absolutely hate the game and don't see it being worth paying for.
DCUO: I'll start by saying the DC universe has never been my cup of tea, but I figured I'd give it a try. Uninstalled shortly after trying character creation, poor variety in pieces and color options, lowest setting breasts were still too big in my opinion
TSW:
My cabal sucks, the founding members are cliquish and the leader only drops in once a week to stroke his ego and talk about GW2 with the other founders.
- Founders RP like we're Templars (it is a Dragon cabal, its not in the factions nature to act in such a strict and organizes manner)
- MANDATORY UNIFORM FOR ALL RP GATHERINGS (a cluster of Dragons wearing Pattern Imago in London is doing it wrong for so many reasons)
- above mentioned clique gets bent out of shape when we peons try to organize a world boss fight, farming group or NM runs our own
- Cash shop clothing is still per character
- Templars still have the advantage in PvP
- London is still like wading through molasses in lead armor
- Content still lacking (can complete new issue stuff within a week of release then its back to grinding NM...)
The game issues I could live with but there aren't many options for a cabal as Dragon and the one I'm in is one of the biggest
WoW:
My guild is nice but the raid leader (how she got that position is beyond me) still lacks raid awareness, and discusses politics as loud and obnoxious as ever. "We don't need shadow, but you can heal" (I hate healing but that's my only ticket into a raid) I do however, enjoy the Harvest Moon thing going on with Halfhill and Pandaria overall but that wasn't worth keeping my subscription going.
PSO2:
Doesn't hold a candle to its predecessor, can't mix and match clothing as freely as you could in PSU (its all 1-piece unless you're a Cast), no field lobbies, to speak anything other than Japanese is to risk getting banned (playing the game outside Japan is technically against the rules but there's no region lock or requirement to prove citizenship when creating an account like other games), You have to jump through hoops to buy AC for the previous reason, LOTTERY SYSTEM FOR CLOTHING AND FURNITURE (and most of the time you get crap like a grinder or monomates)
Being a freebie player is suffering...
- no room
- no trading
- no shop (unless you win a ticket for temporary use through lottery
- can't reset Mag if you mess up the stats (unless you buy a respec ticket with AC)
- Can't reset your talent points (unless you buy a respec ticket with AC)
- Limited lobby options (think: 7 out of 10 servers are VIP only, if the three freebie ones are full... too bad)
- Premium set (which is like a subscription) still has limits that require you to make cash shop purchases but it allows rooms, trading and shops
The biggest complaint of all with these games is that I have little to no CoH friends to play with. In fact, about the only game I can play with my CoH friends is Left 4 Dead.
It drives me crazy. Now I'm waiting for FFXIV (how long until I ragequit after getting abandoned by my husband because he made a cute little corsair to raid with his JP friends?)
