eh, whatever. you guys can go play Wow and it's army of clone games that are all identical.

Something different and unique, taking the genre forward, is obviously not for everyone.

My guess is that you havent played the game.

Just because I'm in an MMO hating mood right now, I hope this game utterly fails and you all come back here crying and lamenting over what could have been....

Thats the Sprit man !

not going to do you much good if the opponent strafes  out the way then you run out of the weapon arc of opponent and round the back of them for a kill while they are still on combo 3. Or even using all your stamina in that 1 button press so you cant retreat if needed.

which is why the combat system isn't that great in the 1st place. motion captured combos that you can't use while moving. all the pvp videos  i 've seen posted today are all using standard melee no combos.

It's possible. I'm sure lazy people will do it. I've never been much of a fan of macros and scripts myself..I prefer to play the game I'm paying for instead of it playing itself.

You won't ALWAYS have time or opportunity for a combo anyway. Think with a bit of strategy, set up an opportunity for a combo. They wouldn't be too much fun if they were ALL you ever used anyway.

And who retreats in a game like AoC, when you'll be so full of adrenaline?

As long as there are no major bugs at launch AOC will be very successful because it isn't trying to compete with WOW or attempt to make WOW 1.5 . It's almost a complete opposite which is a good thing.

ok when you get your ass handed to you for being slower than peoples macro we'll see how long you stick with it.

Reasons why this game will flop: Linear exploring - no open areas, walk on paths everywhere. Impossible combo execution for a "clicker" player, when expected to run/aim/shoot/shield/etc. at the same time. Lack of PvP importance (Capture the flag? Really?). The graphics are pretty, but how far will that carry the game? Not to many people can afford the type of machine needed to run AoC on max.

From what I've seen, the game appears to become repetative and dull. But hey, I'll probably still give it a shot after the first few reviews come out for shits and giggles.
