If this game came out in 2005 it would be great because that is about when all of the "innovative" game mechanics that this game uses came out, but it didn't... it is 2014 so can we please get something better?
I want to start off by saying despite all the horrible things about this game I still like it and I will still play it, but come on... I was hoping for something way better. I'm not going to go into a huge rant here because there are plenty of other threads that go into detail to explain what this game needs, but I wanted to put my 2 cents in. The 2 most important things that need fixed about this game IMO are the following.
1. PLEASE increase boss difficulty and make them all instanced like 4 man group dungeons. By increasing difficulty I DON'T mean just increase the health bar and damage output of the boss...I mean make the boss more intelligent. Give them the ability to dodge attacks, make them think like a player by using certain attacks when it would best benefit the boss instead of just having a sequence of attacks the boss spits out randomly, impress me and do something NEW that will make me think when fighting bosses. I am so tired of doing the same thing for every boss (run up and smack the boss repeatedly until it dies while moving out of a red zone every once in a while.... come on).
I think we all know why all bosses should be instanced for the player/group...EVERY DUNGEON I get to the end of I have to wait for the boss to spawn and fight 5-10 other players for the 2 second kill...it is so immersion breaking it's not even funny anymore, but of course for this you will need to actually fix your group system which I won't go into on this thread...
2. There is almost no wow factor... The game as a whole is beautiful, but it is very rare that I find myself astonished by an amazing event. There are soooo many things in quests that could have blown my mind away (I was actually expecting them to because of how the story builds you up), but in the end I was just disappointed by a half-arsed emote. If you can't fix events "in game" to make them better then add cut scenes or something because as of right now this game could easily be passed as a game that came out in 2005.
TL;DR
This game feels like it was made in 2005. Not 2014.
