Re: PLAYERS FROM DEFIENACE (FREESHARD)
i've already outlined it:
- annoying playerbase
- evo system
- aos spell system
- tons of overcustomized shit that has no place in uo (townhomes, modded faction shit, etc.)
- even more neons than hybrid
- staff who can hardly write a sentence in the english language (yes, i understand they're not native speakers, but if they're going to offer support in english, they should speak it)
- general lack of professionalism
- did i mention the shitty aos spell system?
and no, calling the defiance playerbase a bunch of idiots isn't like you calling all americans idiots. not everyone on DFI is from the same place, and the same goes for UOG. i understand that the DFI players like to make it an EU vs US thing, but that's a very childish way to look at it. i just never encountered mature, intelligent pvpers over there.
not to mention that the overall quality of pvp over there is ridiculous. i can log on with a friend or two and dominate factions for hours until i get bored and log off--and i'm hardly a seasoned player under their combat system.
uogamers has definitely been on the decline for the last three or so years, and perhaps much of my persisting love for it is simply nostalgia, but it's simply a better shard to me than DFI has ever been, even back when ape, clobber, etc. played. different strokes for different folks, though.
