		<description>I don&#039;t blame you in the slightest, and lately there are still bugs abound. I&#039;d hold off for a while until the game gets a foothold, unless you are seriously impressed.</description>

		<description>Heads up to anyone interested in/already playing this. I have an Illuminati cabal (guild) started, but it&#039;s only got 4 members so far. If you want in, just message me as &quot;ChaosD1&quot; in game, and I&#039;ll invite you.</description>

		<description>This game is utter crap. It has the gameplay quality of a F2P MMO(Aka low quality); with cutscenes/story no better than Old Republic, yet they want 50$+15$ a month for this shit? I&#039;d ask if the company in charge was on crack but that company is EA again. What else do you expect from EA at this point? Their logo is basically a warning label and everything they touch turns to ash.

This is a game that will quickly be forgotten. If it goes F2P at some point maybe it could keep a fanbase, but EA didn&#039;t do that with Warhammer Online regardless of how deserted it got, so don&#039;t count on them doing that here either. Why the hell would you want to pay a monthly on this weak game anyway when the amazing far better quality GW2 is coming out August and will be F2P after you buy the box? You could have just pre-ordered that instead...

You don&#039;t have to take my word for it; go ahead and put in a month into this and see for yourself, but I can pretty much promise you this MMO will be massively losing subs in &lt;6 months.(Just like Star Wars is. They&#039;ve already lost 50% or so of the subs they got when it released. I told people it would be a short lived fanbase but they wanted to believe it would compete with WoW. Idiots. Btw that game was also partly funded by EA. Just saying.) 

You&#039;ll later realize that the 65$ you wasted on this crap for 1-2 months you could have instead just spent on a pre-order GW2 box or on a Founder&#039;s deal over at MechWarrior Online. Hell you could have spent it on Tera Online or Mists of Pandara too.</description>

		<description>yes they support team dont seem to be able to read.

I submit that I cant post on the forum, becouse it says I dont have permission.
they reply, that they where able to log in to the forum with my username and password.
I reply I said I cant post, I can log in, but not post.
no reply from them.

I submit new, going in detail that I cant post on forum, but only log in, telling that info in many ways and with alot of extra info, as it seems that they think not able to post means not able to log in.
They reply the beta forums are closed, I told them I was trying to post in the beta 4 weekend section and the other section, their then tell me to insted use forums they link, wich is the same forums I cant post on.
I reply, that those are the forums I have an account on that I cant post with, onlu log in to.
They reply, that game account&#039;s forum account, wich I cant current make, is for the luanch of the game, and cant be use to post on those forums.
I reply, I know that, I am using an account I made on the forums, wich I told you in the e-mail before this.
No reply from them.</description>

		<description>I really liked what I saw during the beta, but sadly it uses the same engine and netcode as Age of Conan, which has problems with certain network setups. The game will disconnect while loading instances or zones, meaning every time you have to change zones or enter/leave an instance you have a good chance of staring at a loading screen with nothing happening what so ever. And since the customer service is immune to facts and reason but rather quick spamming their answermacros I doubt this will change.

In short: If you have connectivity issues playing AoC don&#039;t bother with TsW.

Also: The skills could use a revamp, there is a lot of very similar ones in the same tree, some higher up skills being even blatantly worse than those you already have.</description>

		<description>I like this game.

I only tryed it last weekend, thinking only going to play it for a few hours, as it is Funcom, and they seem to have problems with games in start.
But ended up pre-ordre it.

I only seen 2 problems that weekend.
1: those mission that need to be unlock by doing a other mission, did not get unlocked.
2: a lot of players had problems with turning in mission, but that was mostly caused by players themself for not phonying the mission in, but insted just takeing a new mission.

My main problem with this game is going to be the players, as I have learn from Tera and the beta weekend, some players just buy a game without know what is about or know how to play it.
Players in SW dont get that they need to solve problems, insted just ask in chat without using 1 sec to find the solution.</description>

		<description>Great Job Choas at this review. 

I play this game since close beta and i preordered it. This game is not the more graphical good looking one nor the best combat system but the story is really interesting and it keep me addict. 

The Team try to fix a lot of thing and you can see the devotion as they put patch each day to correct bugs. 

If you are a fan of Lovercraft, Cthulhu , Whitewolf Mage: the Ascension or Awakening and/or just World of Darkness, you cant find your Haven in the game. The Lore is really great, the quests are mostly there to help you learn it but its a MMORPG so yes, lot of repetitions or grinding. 

In the game, you can re-do any quests 18h later so you can mostly learn all the skills you want or try a new build (2 weapons combo). 

Its Appeal to everyone that like Enigma, Occult and Plot Theory, all this with a lot of maturity and a bit of humor.

See you in game folks.</description>
