One more post observation on CU2(!)

| ROBERT POLLARD 2006-02-26, 4:02 am |
| I just realised this morning, that the other thing I hated about the new
setup is the way the mouse defaults to hidden. On my machine ALT doesn't
even show it up. This train of thought got me noticing....
i. No mouse by default....
ii. Most actions can now be done with one button. I think the most
complex actions like combat need at the most 3 buttons (1 to attack, 1 for
special attack, 1 for special attack selection). With the old version,
combat would have required mapping to many buttons.
iii. Skills trees simplified to the nth degree, even including
pretty pictures of cast members....
iv. Areas that are roped off by invisible barriers...
Call me Mr cynical but this to me has the smelly whiff of 'console' written
all over it....
I wonder if SOE's plans weren't to improve the game per-se, but instead to
target a completely different market such as consoles..... Maybe WOW is to
complex to port to a console in it's present form so SOE figure that if they
break into the console market and make a bigger buck there?...
Who knows....

I agree 100%, it does seem like SOE is getting the game all ready for the
8-year old kids to play using their PS2 or Xbox.
Maybe Rastus or Crispy can talk their mom into buying them a PS2 or Xbox
since they've been banned from playing games on the family PC anymore.
Yeah!
Too bad they couldn't have just made them their own servers. *sigh*
It could always be worse!

I would think the better bet would be the new 360??

No idea. I don't see the point in spending a few hundred dollars on a
PC-wannabe machine when you can get so many better games and a lot more
from a nice desktop.

I do have my own servers, but they are tasked with the greater good of
delivering porn web sites.
Feel free to check them out whilst your waiting for your Caviar to become
more palatable...

Especially when you can get a decent machine for just a couple hundred
more than the 360 is gonna cost (tricked out that is...).
Heck, I think somebody told me the other day that they build their
game PC (and it was impressive) for just $750!!
