Saw an interesting poll today and thought I'd throw together a thread with any polls I have come across to throw alongside it.

the last set? yeah. I made that those 3 polls myself for reddit and figured it would get a lot more results. I guess most people aren't as interested in peaking at faction diversity as I am.

yup. just goes to show that the loudest people in the room aren't necessarily the best sources of information.

 

It also shows, as usual, that the population as a whole has no idea what to except/want from a game and will just jump from game to game endlessly. Also those numbers are tiny compared to the amount of gamers you need to keep a triple A looking "profitable."

 

Yes I hear ya Rumor.


No MMO worth playing atm so not much to do but try each new game as it comes out and hope its good.

Till then Ill play my bf4 and Planetside 2..and various other fps games.

 

I was thinking here and i guess i´ll play ESO... WOW is boring right now and there is no viabble option, i guess this is why people are going to play, not because is a good option, but the only one.

 

I am skeptical of poll results because people who have given up on the game or hated it probably won't waste time giving the negative feedback in the first place. Just my opinion on the poll thing.

Games where there is RvR are usually fun though so have fun guys. My feeling is if you think it will be fun then just play it.

 

Yeah, I'm not a fan. I've been in beta for 6+ months and I didn't vote.

 

This ^ was about to write it but i knew someone would already.

If they had another round or a longer beta giving time to play ER and test it out more than the last half assed stress test on which 1 day was wasted queuing maybe it'd give more incentive to play it.

For what i saw of RVR it could really turn out exactly like GW2's tho, so it really depends what they can make of it, it can be a blast (daoc) and it can suck (gw2).

When the game goes F2P and if the RVR is fun then it can be an alternative. Right now P2P + pay extra for imperials and such just doesn't look good. P2P should be all inclusive, like those resorts things.

Now the wife'll prolly play it so i'll see how much fun she's got, might pick it up too at some point.

 

I find they go both ways, polls. Like trends. Still, thought it would be interesting to put these things up.

I really like seeing the ones that have nothing to do with the who is in and who is out. Like the Census results are really interesting. I just wish it got popular and updated after the pre-order and collector's edition race changes.

I also threw in one I found on "Vampire, Werewolf and none" which I found interesting now that the respective skill lines are public.

You mean EP? There probably is truth to it being the worst starting zone(s) so far, but I didn't dislike it. Especially when you find the cursed skeever people and the creepy ice cave.

Too true. But why did GW2 get boring?

The three big changes I like about ESO RvR are:

• It is a large PvPvE zone with quests and public, cross-faction instances.
• Long and Short Campaign modes. I think the short ones will be really cool and help keep it exciting. I will probably join that one. I think they can either span 3 months or a few weeks.
• The only thing resembling an Auction House requires your faction's PvP involvement. I just wish I knew how it looked in action.

Having no arena and battlegrounds will probably help RvR activity too.

What do you think? What did GW2 need to make their version more successful?

Yup. But those days are long gone. I can't even remember a P2P game I've played that didn't sell something like races, classes and the like on the side. Even my first MMO Anarchy-Online waaaaay long ago put out a content package you had to buy to play the new class.

I doubt it will be a reoccurring thing here. For races... I don't even know what else they could attempt to add to a TES game.

 

I did AD but i wanted to try the covenant as it seems a better zone (the one with dark elves). I just wanted to play a wood elf for the bow bonus + the looks (i like bows, especially in open PVP games).

I think DAOC's RVR worked fine because all high lvl xp'ing zones were in pvp area (if i remember well ?) so u had to fight in any case and u could gank and all, hence, owning keeps and all was quite important to your realm in order to ensure safety of ur faction. I think it kinda went thru the toilet with the shared dungeons in expansions ?

Also, i think that a game that totally separates PVP from PVE, like GuildWars 2 did, can't work. U have to have both things entwined or it'll lose purpose. Best fun is in full pvp servers where u have to fight to reach the dungeons and all are able to cap keeps that spawn guards to ur faction & provide u with safe heaven, seriously crippling the opposition capacity to run dungeons and such.

Now it's quite all irrelevant : u click on ur dungeon finder thingie and u're auto TP at the entrance to ur dungeon with the rest of the team, no harm possible, nothing, preventing any pvp related game that could be interesting on the way to the dungeon itself. I understand that it saves a lot of time for people tho.

So, i dunno. RVR is sure fun but if u can reach lvl cap and end game without being forced to be in the RVR zone at some point, i don't think it'll work. If ESO's RVR is a zone in where every high lvl must "live" then i'm pretty sure it'll be great, if not, then i don't know.

 

Last real good pvp mmo i played was AIKA... love it! UO haved too but is too old.

GW2 with restricted pvp and poor end content kill the game, real detailed game and nice :/

 

I'm not sure you are allowed free teleports to Cyrodiil instances and the Adventure Zone. I thought it existed to allow you access to the PvE instances, like the ones you can't walk to in other faction's territories.
