I'm not sure why I bothered. It's basically just WoW with less running, more PvP, shitty animations, even shittier netcode, and constantly iceskating character models.
Really, who ever thought MMO pvp was a good idea? I tried the PvP scenario thing when they first gave it to me.... at lvl 4. The experience went like this (as a squig herder):
1) Run up the ramp, staying behind the guys with lots of armor and stuff.
2) Go through some hallways
3) see an enemy guy with lots of armor and big swords coming around the corner
4) Friend guy with lots of armor and swords runs right past him. Enemy comes right at me and does a bunch of stuff (I guess he is attacking me in some way, but how the fuck do you really know what is going on?) and there is no way to get away and I die.
5) respawn
6) if not endOfMatch goto 1
Figuring I just needed some more levels or gear or whatever, I re-tried this every level or so with the exact same results. I finally figure out that you can choose different scenarios, so I tried a more open one (nordenwatch or something?) and had better success. But even still - the "battles" are just this huge ball of iceskating confusion. Who is attacking who? What are they doing to them? Why am I suddenly getting hit?
Also I tried the overworld pvp stuff. Which is I guess just a matter of who can get the biggest gang of people to get together to run around and cap flags.
The public quests are a pretty good idea, and there are a lot more of them than I thought. But they still fall into that MMO trap of feeling like a Disneyland ride - with all the animitronic characters reciting their lines over and over till the end of time.
In summary, the MMO model is completely broken, and everyone playing this game should be ashamed of themselves.
