SOE Delays Wizardry Online Launch

also.. No voice acting is better than bad voice acting. I actually wish more companies would heed this PSA.

The entire thing was horrible lol. The graphics, the game play, the translation effort. No fluidity in animation, the load screens were abominable, the colors were washed ( and before someone defends it for being dark, you could have a dark beautiful world.) Honestly, I felt like I was playing a game from 2003.

Ive played the game during CBT for about a week, maybe more. When I first read about it, I was hooked. Then I played it... All I can say is this game is not for me. Its slow, boring and overall crappy. The permadeath aspect isnt what I expected, maybe my expectation was alittle too high. As far as why they did a delay, who knows. :\

Sure wizardry online had a rocky start, but honestly guys, this MMO has ideas in it that i have been waiting for in an MMO, and look what we got here, a hardcore MMORPG for the hardcore gamers of MMOs out there, unrelenting dungeons that can take quite awhile to complete with traps everywhere and enemies never stopping to kill you, perma death always looming behind you wanting to take your soul like the reaper it is, yes your char is gone if you fail twice at trying to revive it, but you have work around for the perma death system, offer soul medals and items and gold to increase your chances, and sure items you had on the char are lost forever once that char dies and is no more unless you place the equipment in the cloak room otherwise known as the warehouse which u can transfer items and gold from char to char, oh and lets see here, the classes are balanced then you all think, a fighter does what a fighter does, it fights and tanks and isnt as squishy as the other classes but still is, the thief plays like a thief, it sets traps, can stealth for a few and they do the most dmg when they back stab, mages are the glass cannons of the game, they do more dmg then fighters, they cast spells, use staffs for the most magical dmg possible, and there very VERY squishy, then is the priest, they are the healers and buffers of the game, they can be tanky if paired with the right race, but there main role is the support class, but other classes can heal themselves, thief has a potion they can make to heal themselves and later the whole party, fighters can also heal themselves, but the mage cant heal themselves, and also, just remember with the graphics, this game has been in the works for 30 years, so honestly the graphics are good for how long it took to bring this project to life, and also remember guys, graphics don't make the game, its the game play, I mean sure graphics are nice to look at and good eye candy, but would you really want a game that had awesome graphics and crappy game play? I know I sure wouldn't want that, so all in all give Wizardry online a shot and who knows you may like it or may not, its all up to you on how you wish to go about this game.

this game its horrible

this :"perma" death not even deat, and if u dont fail hard or donate can't even BE "PERMA"...
w/o it game is very average grinder and lots of random.

This game is just like any another mmorpg with some unique twists that make it even more interesting. 90% of the haters are probably whiny kids, probably typical COD players that in a game with something as permadeath get owned every 10 seconds and fall for every single trap in the dungeons. I played this game, still playing and the only issues i ever had was the lack of deep costumization and the controls take a little while getting used to. I never played any other Wizardry game so im not a die fan of the series but this MMO is staying for long. Final thing is, kids dont last long in this game so the little buggars arent around trying to piss people off, and make obvious coments that the game sucks without even playing it for half an hour :3 (also i still have never been killed so come at me bros XD )

If only I could be so grossly incandescent...

lol perma death is wasted on a game this terrible.

gameplay mechanics fail, graphics fail, enjoyment factor fail, class balance fail

playing anything other than warrior is well stupid. Only reason to play other classes is to take their skills on class change.

and this is not even wizardry just a fail excuse using the name dont expect anything from it

I don't mind perma death since i have spent lots of time playing hardcore in action rpgs. The graphics get the job done but aren't amazing by any stretch. The controls are a little clunky even with a game pad but i can look past that. The underlying problems which turn me away are the slow progression and pay to win products in the cash shop. You can buy your way past death and they intend to sell over powered equipment from what i gather. I wouldn't mind any of it but the game progresses so slow that if you die and fail to revive it can take ages to remake the character so it doesn't feel worth it to me to take it seriously at all. The concept is right,they simply implement it in bad ways.

I think this game would be great if it had solid combat, customizable classes and unique dungeons. As is it feels like something from the late 90s with excessive bloom. Throw in permadeath and it's 'why am I even playing this?'.

This doesn't really change my anticipation level, but then I was always just kind of mildly interested in it. I had already decided I might give it a try after it released, if I got bored enough.

U guys should be happy they are delayiing... its better if a game delays and releases a better game then to keep the game as is with the bugs and to release it and people will get piseed and they wont play it as long as maybe they should since its to buggy

im sure they just want to fix a few bugsand improve the game overall its not suspicious to do delay a game. and if ppl dont like it COUGH ZHAOYUN COUGH, then by all means don't play(game must be to hard for you) you'll just be one less player for me to PK XD

i dislike dungeon based games i dislike perma death or even the posibility of being permanatly dead is just horrible in my opinion sure it adds a bit of a challenge and makes u worry u might die but when u actually perma die then u have to technecly restart from lvl 1 which sucks i personally don't like this game at all but thats just me as for the delay for me its suspicious to delay a game so suddenly and NOT give a CLEAR explaination of why but we will see what happens wheover likes this game i wish u the best

Carebears ^

yeah the game is not all that great from what i seen of it i think that the game will not be out for long not that many people will play it lol that is my opinion

The game seemed boring to me from the start, there's nothing that really caught me about it.

IDK i personally hoped for better graphics, but trere is some more issues than what they stated.

Not a surprise, Because the game is horrible, that's why they delayed, in my opinion :)
