[QUOTE="RossRichard"][QUOTE="whitey_rolls"] They took cities out yes which isn't really a huge issue and when Mythic says the game is better for it I actually believe them. If there were 6 cities at launch the "war" would be too spread out but for each faction to be able to compete to take over 1 capital city at a time it will make for more excitement.
The fact that 4 classes have been removed (2 order to destruction) is a bit well dissapointing. The reason these were removed however was because they were 'not fun' to play or so the dev's have said. And instead of leaving in 4 crappy classes they took them out, this saves them from having to delay the game further in order to roll 24 classes. But come on seriously 20 classes is still great and I'm sure we will see these implemented in the future when they are truely finished.

It sounds like you are really setting yourself up for a dissapointment. This is a rushed launch. What is very likely is that Mythic took out that content because it wasnt done, and EA wouldnt hear about delaying the game again. What you are believing is very likely just damage control.
The cities weren't done so they were pulled, the classes were 'done' they just weren't good. I mean I don't blame them for taking them out if they are bad and reworking them for a later date, it's better than having everyone wait. And to the person who said that races are left without a true tanking class that is the case for the Dark Elves who lost their tank, but there are still two tanks on the destruction side, it isn't as though the races won't be mixed pretty well as soon as the game launches. The only way i would see this being a huge problem is for guilds who were planning on sticking to a single race, which of course puts a wrench in the plans ... but seriously it's kind of stupid to do that anyways.
Thats nice and a good viewpoint on the situation, but you arent listening to what Im saying.They took out some very important content that are staples in the MMO genre to meet a launch date. Sure losing two tanking classes might not sound like a big deal, but it was originally planned to have racial-based PvP. Orks always fight humans, Dark Elves always fight High Elves, that sort of thing. Since the classes were taken out, and if any races were taken out, this is likely taken out as well. As far as only having one main city per side, Im afraid that is a huge loss too. Anyone who played WoW and tried to go into Ironforge or Orgrimmar at launch knows exactly why.
What this will amount to is a rushed launch, which likely means a lot of bugs and unbalanced classes. This will turn off early adopters and cause the game to have a reputation of being crap. If you dont believe me, look up Hellgate: London. I was there for that travesty.
