I said this from the very beginning. It's still happening. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'll only have one version of RO2 loaded on my comp. If that...
Not only would a faithful RO2 kept the community together, I believe that it would have sparked a revolution in gaming, where player skill > computer aided play.
Are you talking about RO2 being faithful to RO1, or are you talking about Players being faithful to RO2?
If it's RO2 being Faithful to RO1, than keep in mind that there were two versions of RO before RO1(Ostfront), which Ostfront is the black sheep of the bunch imo.... and it was ostfront that wasn't faithful to RO.
If it's players being faithful to RO2, then I and everybody else who liked RO2 just how it was when it was launched and just wanted bug fixes & content were the truly faithful, as they were the ones who not only supported RO2 but supported TWI by continuing to play the game and fill servers this whole time, while the rest of those RO Classic guys refused to play and abandoned the game to go on their crusade to have the game completely revamped the way they wanted..... and to hell with everybody else.
And they got a game mode that suits their demands, but it's still not good enough, as they now want to demand that everybody else be forced to play what they want.
Faithful, my pucker..... as soon as it's something you didn't like or wasn't what you expected, rather than enjoying the game as it was and as TWI designed it to be, you guys all walked off, abandoned TWI & RO, and contributed to the venom in these forums and the drop in servers / player counts.... constantly demanding refunds or going on about how TW sold out.
Yeah, I uninstalled RO2 & the Beta a week or two ago and yes, I was PO'd over Action Mode taking over Relaxed Realism (as well as RO Classic taking up some of the available servers in my area when it goes live)..... but my uninstallation of RO2 had more to do with me over playing the game & simply getting bored of the limited content thus far..... how I haven't played RO2 since December and wanted to free up HD Space.
I uninstalled the Beta because I didn't want my bandwidth being taken up all the time for updates for a game mode I had no interest in playing.
I even said I lost support for TWI based on their decision of working on this Action Mode over getting content out into RO2.....
...... I was one of Tripwire's biggest supporters and defenders.... now I have lost any faith in their abilities due to them continually side-tracking the stuff that should have been in the game by now and constantly wandering off to start playing around with these odd game mode changes they keep thinking of......
^ I won't hide or try and back track things I have said, nor will I ignore my own actions....
I had lost faith in TW's abilities in keeping a focused direction in the game, and I am still miffed about the long waiting time for content to make it to the game..... but since then, I decided to take matters into my own hands and begin modeling some weapons of my own, so that some content will come faster. I shouldn't have to, and I shouldn't have to wait for the community to add to the game, but crap happens, and I can either complain and protest like the RO Classic guys and expect everything to be done for me, or do something.
What's my point?
I like stories.
Honestly I would hardly say that poll reflected everyone who supports RO Classic. I for one think it would be bad to replace all game styles with classic only. I'd rather not be pressed into a cookie cutter stereotype of ROClassic supporter because it simply isn't black and white as this quote makes it out to be. Some are loud and can sound self entitled sometimes but not everyone is like that. I think we all have a right to have an opinion but shoeboxing us all into one stereotypical category honestly feels a little insulting. Nothing really personal, just adding my input.
Well I suppose I should make my signature a disclaimer.... 98% of everything I post is only focused on those what I say applies to.... not everybody in Realism, RO Classic or Action/Relaxed Realim are all the same with the same views.
Those whom what I post about and what I say applies to know who they are.
As I see it, people can play and enjoy whatever they please..... my server options might end up being extremely limited when Action & RO Classic come out, but I'll live with it and it's a price I'm willing to pay if others get what they want.
But the poll does show that there's at least 26 other people who think like the OP.... and what I say applies to those people.
