:p
well ^^ im a computerholic ^^

i don't hate it...the game just isn't right for me.

Aside from the graphical errors.....i found the 1-2-3 directional attack fun, even quite refreshing at first, but after a while it started to bore me alot. i got 3 characters, 2x level 8s, 1x level 11....and in the end...i felt very confined to those three buttons...even forgetting at times i had specials to use

If you are playing a melee class, you will get 2 more directional attacks higher up.  If you aren't using the specials you really are not playing the melee combat the way it is intended.  In the PvP beta at level 20, some of the melee I tried had about 7 different combos with different directionals and effects, this isn't counting auras and buffs they also had.

Thats bull...i know very well how to play the game and the melee classes. I been a tank in EQ2, LOTRO, SWG, and some other games. I am very familiar with melee. But the reason i stated that is because i had no NEED to use my specials...enemies went down real easy. Granted they might tweak difficulties, but all i had to do was see which way he was shielding and spam that direction.
I felt very mind numbed in the end. and no way i would last till level 40 or whichever it is till it becomes more challenging. With me being a casual player,  it would take a while.

And my issues are not system issues. Quest givers causing me to DC, server boots, memory leaks do not sound like system issues on my end. Just because your system is a monster, doesn't mean other peoples systems are crap. Mines more than enough to handle this game at medium settings atm with a very decent framerate.

Personally I will not play the beta that much. Hate to get bored of the game inside the newb area. There is limited how much diversity the characters can feel in one area, much of the same quests, same mobs, etc..

Having a great time.

Combo's are the entire flair and essence of the melee classes, so no wonder you feel its not right for you. Your probably right.

i am trying to find a class that suits me...so yes...i already know that i will get bored within an area...but this started happening with my first one i picked...Herald of X (spelling eludes me atm)

I'm not having fun because this game reminds me of Vanguard (trust me AOC looks better and the gameplay is much better than Vanguard). It just reminds me of Vanguard due to the fact it runs like complete ass, sorry Funcom get with the program 4 yrs in development and this is what you give us? Its a nice looking game but it looks very consoley (is that even a word), something just doesnt make sense it does'nt look like a PC game. It looks very hyper realistic like it belongs on the PS3 for some reason.

The game engine is very sharp kind of hurts my freakin eyes LOL!

well then there must be a ton of animations missing, because my HoX and Demonologist seem to have very lack luster combos/moves.

so realistic is bad?

No there's realistic and then there's hyper realistic, it looks ultra sharp and shiny, it just does'nt look like it belongs on a PC. I love realistic looking games but look at say Oblivion, or COD4 or UT3, Bioshock or lets say even Half Life 2, these games look like PC games I cant explain it. THink of the engine in Gothic 3 or Two Worlds, it looks kind of like those engines (which suck ass as well)

Cheers!

I think a lot of people don't realize how deep the system truly is.  The active blocking, double tapping forward and backwards for buffs. 

In PVP this can make a huge difference and most people just run in hitting 1, 2, 3 and the combos and think thats it.

I love it so far.

Dunno where you're getting the "everyone seems to hate it" thing? What I am seeing is that a lot of people like it, and a lot have experienced technical issues. Personally my experience has been great so far - seems fun and polished, with a few minor bugs.
