If you knew an MMO was coming out in a genre you were interested in, what would be the following:
1) The one core basic feature would you 100% expect to be in, and expect to be perfected at launch, bug free and 'cool'
2) What one thing that hasn't been done well, or at all, in any MMO, would you most like to see as a thoroughly fleshed out mechanic/content piece/UI feature? |
Rather than game balance / content issues, simple features that if they are absent ensure that I won't even bother playing the game.
These seem minor and are mostly a given, but here is a small list:
1. A perfectly responsibe UI. A lot of games have some minor lag/imperfect animation etc - basically play Vanguard and WoW and notice the difference. I want a game that responds perfectly.
2. Perfectly implemented ALT-TABBING. If the game lags when I alt tab, I won't even try it. Sorry, absolutely gamebreaking. If you cannot get alt-tabbing to work, I will use innerspace or another wrapper to get that functionality.
3. A very customizable but already functional UI. I don't expect the perfect UI, but I expect the basic UI to be more than good enough from 1 to whatever max level before raiding.
That's it. Content / balance / fun are of course crucial, but if those things are not present at launch, I don't care how good the game is, I won't try it.
I will add that one thing that makes a game beatiful to me is not the amazing eyepopping graphics, but the atmosphere and the art direction. The night elf newbie zone for Warcraft is incredible and feels straight out of lord of the rings. I saw the concept art you produced and it looks incredible and exactly what I like, if you can get it translated in a game well I will be very impressed
