From what i seen there is only mechanic which is combos for melee where as other games offer multiple mechanics (rage, energy, combos, seals etc) which makes it easier to differentiate the class.

well combos are shared, and in the beginning they are similar, but once you get more combos, that are different presses, different abilities, different things, you'll be doing combos still, but you'll not be the same.

I dont trust a review written by a person who has only made one previous posting on the forums. 

And my  detector is acting funny when I read your post.

 

I bet if his review was "omg the game is awesome" you'd have no problem believing him

 

Are you serious ? He made a review after 30 minutes of playing with a level 6 charater. Of course he's trolling.

All Im saying is there are plenty of posts like "omg amazing" right now and like you just stated how can they judge the game having played so little ?

I wouldnt take an opinion about classes to heart at such an early stage. However his review of the linear small zones and such is certainly valid (regardless of time spent online). It in fact mirrors many complaints leaked from Beta

I read in another thread the community was 75% people on topless women running around ganking....please...please tell me this isnt true!

I am going to hold off on buying it probably till the end of the month to let the dust settle but  if people are still saying mostly good things about it I may give it a shot then.

i joined the most pure-pvp server i could find and i have to screw around with single player quests? wtf?

Quite a few people have made the comment of classes being the same early on and using the excuse that all or most MMORPGs are like that.

I find it important to point out that is doesn't matter what most MMORPGs are doing, especially when the only MMORPG a person has played isn't like that. For example, my first and most favorite game of all time is DAoC.

For those that don't know, players started out with 7 archetypes in DAoC. The 7 archetypes were different than each other, but it was nothing compared to the diversity one would experience at level 5. At level 5, you got to choose between several classes within that archetype and they played very differently from the other classes within that archetype. This was all before level 10 even.

The point is that just because the majority does something a certain way, does not mean those with higher standards for gaming has to seccumb to them. I haven't decided if I will be playing AoC or not, but it's the comments coming from people who like AoC that is making me have second thoughts about playing. You all are saying the game doesn't open up until after level 20. Well that is unacceptable. A game should be fun and engaging from the start, am I right? That doesn't mean AoC isn't fun and engaging from the start and I have yet to really read enough reviews to determine if it will be for my choice of playstyle.

I reccomend that you wait a bit and see. Funcom has been working hard and near the end is pushing patch after patch out to try to balance the game and correct problems.

It is not the smoothest of releases, but they seem to want to fix all the bugs before its released. I honestly think they are getting no sleep.

"I read in another thread the community was 75% people on topless women running around ganking....please...please tell me this isnt true!"

Depends on the server i think deathwisper and so on are hit by lot of teens. Heard about gankings as well in ffe server  played only in Pve server so far (Set).

"well combos are shared, and in the beginning they are similar, but once you get more combos, that are different presses, different abilities, different things, you'll be doing combos still, but you'll not be the same."

Well see how it turns out i guess after playing other MMOs you expect the game mechanics itself to be different for each class. I remember switching from warrior to tankadin was bit tricky in this game all you have to do is to go from Guardian to Dark templar is memorize the combos.

Hello Kanosi,

after playing Daoc 4 years i can tell you that you going to like AOC, graphic are nice, the starter town was very fun 1-13 ( couldnt play 14-19 in the beta) and lv 20 -25 was very fun to play too.

The lvl 1-20 was originaly made to be played solo..... So thats why you have more instanced zone ....
I played 2 different type of healer from 1-13 and alot in mini pvp game at 20.And tryed a mellee type from 1-13 and lv20. Both were fun and wish i had time to try assasin and ranger class.

I'm sure it's a game to be tryed for anyone who played other mmo then WoW.

You might like it like i did in beta!!!
See you in game maybe!

Hope you find a game that suit your playtime...

Sorry for my english !!
