Agreed. I keep trying it, but I feel so ineffectual and useless that I don't have any fun.
At least the way they've described MWO you can hop into just about any mech and actually feel like you're contributing and having fun.
I'm not a fan of any game type where you have to spend hours farming and not having fun before you can actually start having fun, so I'm hoping the ruleset that MWO is based on will prevent this.
The hilarious part is that WoT was going to have roles for other than the heaviest tanks, and the dev teams still insists there are. So just take that into account when the dev team here sings the praises of the various roles and how having the heaviest mech won't be the best. I'm not saying they won't deliver but I'm a bit tired of hearing how the devs say this or that.. gameplay will tell, not dev blogs or what not. Same as the P2W that people are sure won't happen here, because I'm sure that all those games that ended up that way said that was their goal... what's that you say that these P2W games claimed they wouldn't be and the dev teams still try to say that....
Not doomsaying, just reminding people who've been to this rodeo before that the devs never say their game will be P2W, and most mean that, it just means that oftimes things don't go exactly as planned, or people lie.
Again not saying this game is definitely headed this way, just saying despite all the denials there's also no guarantee it won't. The best laid plans of mice and men and all that....
Oh and I love the fact the OP hasn't even touched WoT and doesn't think theirs any similarity ....
