I think what Lobotoja is trying to get across here is reflected in his final statement:  

Don't kill the spirit of War.   In other words from what I can determine he is concerned about the Lore, the storyline,  the roleplaying aspects of the game. 

I can understand that, however I have never experienced the table top version, as I didn't have friends that were interested in that at all.   So I migrated to games like Meridian 59 and The Realm back in the day.

The Realm was interesting to me, spent 8 full months ..roleplaying every day.

So..are there actual roleplaying elements in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning?   Think thats what the OP is getting at.

Discuss ::)

what MMOs have puzzles to solve?  if you put anything that requires you to think, half the players spam the forums complaining that you have to think, erm, i mean.. "it's too hard".

if you want RP/puzzles/etc, you actually need a sandbox.

eve online, you can be in a stealthed ship, spying on the enemy, NOT having to combat them.  or scanning systems, playing cat-n-mouse with an enemy.  you can join another corporation/alliance as a spy and actually pass war/battle/pos information to your "real" colleagues.

unless there's a lot of open-endedness in the game, you're not going to have anything other than hack-n-slash.  i.e. kill X mobs for Y level.

DDO has Puzzles & Riddles that you have to figure out / solve in order to progress through some dungeons.  I found it a really good extra element to MMOs...it made the dungeons have that extra layer of depth instead of just the common through & hack up everything.   I wish More MMOs had them.

The only other game that I have experienced in recent history that had dungeon floor puzzles etc was a standalone game,  Oblivion..which is not an MMO.

Those were fun, had to figure out the floor puzzle to get the next part of the dungeon to open up.

i shouldnt be laughing because its obvious English isnt your first language (If it is you seriously need help) but its the first time I have ever ever read a post 2-3 times and have no idea what the hell you are talking about.  Its almost an art form.

Maybe it's a new language? That spoken by excessive MMORPG players.

Hehe have to agree with you there Damian,   "thinking" and the old buzz word "reading" are not acceptable skills to today's gamers,  they would rather use someone else's brain. :P   Well some of them not all lol.

Xplay just picked Warhammer Online for there PC game of E3. Seems like a really polished game, more so then AoC now.

I think it makes complete sense. IF you read it slowly, then role play it out loud in a hyperactive goblin voice.  Then end it with your war face.
Private Joker: [nervously] Sir?
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: You got a war face! WAAAGH!!! That's a war face, let me see your war face!
Private Joker: waaaaghh!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: B^^%S&@*, you didn't convince me, let me see your REAL war face!
Private Joker: WAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: You don't scare me! Work on it!
Private Joker: Sir, yes sir!

Hey, how come Funcom got some boss mob code in there :)

Honestly I don't expect to see puzzles in WAR. Maybe some stuff where you have to trigger X buttons to open Y door, but in Warhammer this is how we deal with puzzles.

Chaos High Sorcerer *standing on a balcony* : Mua ha ha ha ha ha! We have sealed the door to our sanctum with an impenetrable spell, which can only be broken by matching the eight marks of the Gods to the eight points of this Chaos star! Foolish servants of Order, you will neve-

*Witch Hunter shoots Sorcerer in the head, Sorcerer falls off balcony and dies messily*

Witch Hunter: Sigmar be praised. He was getting annoying. Alright, bring in the cannon.

*dwarves blow up door and cultists are slaughtered*

Witch Hunter: The Inquisition doesn't do puzzles.

Lobotoja is GOD!

All hail Lobotoja, the LORD of these boards!

This first post should be preserved and studied in Forum Moderation 101 courses as long as there are interwebs!

Everybody join in! What is YOUR reaction to that post? Did YOU feel anything unusual while first reading it?

 The Magus seems to be getting more interesting  than it used to be.  I can definetly see some potential for causing a fair bit of chaos and mayhrm in the battlefield.  Its nice to hear the game is looking more and more polished.  I'm hopeing the writer was right when she said that it is getting closer to being ready for Open Beta.

Awesome!! The White Lion sounds like it is going to kick some ass! More so than your typical hunter , or pet handler. I am looking forward to it.

What?!

 

Yeah lol, seriously what?

I'm gonna go with angry. He's definitely angry! Something about wasting 10 years of his life traveling the world playing some tabletop game.  /shrug

I like the idea of mounts and pets increasing in appearance along with their masters. AoC had purchasable or unique pre-order variations of mounts, but this is completely different and exciting. Just another addition to showing off your character in battle.

Thank goodness they still had CE pre-orders left on the official website, cause most stores are out of them online and in my area.

They're not charging extra for the missing cities this was said in an interview with several other websites. Do some research lobo before you go rambling incoherantly.  It also helps not to drink alcohol or do any drugs before you post.

The missing cities will be added in like Raids & Arena's were for WoW, Chapters for Lord of the Rings & DDO....Free. 

(doesn't mean they wont have paid expansions most games always have these lol)

Would this be a good time to mention that each of the three realms in DAoC had an extra city planned for release. They were pulled/cancelled shortly before launch and did not appear again until the first retail expansion pack. So yes the players had to pay directly for those extra cities. This is Mythics history in this regard. Do not expect it to be any diferent this time around.

This game is going to be so good. See you guys ingame.

Content is less important than gameplay.  I would have liked to have seen all 6 cities but the most important thing is whether or not the game is fun to play.

You can add content to a game with updates.   It's much harder to make a game fun if it doesn't start that way.   Mythic sounds like they're cutting stuff that isn't up to their standards and focusing their attention to get the game out this year.     I'll be willing to put up with less classes and cities in exchange for a stable, fun game at launch. 

Stop mentioning aoc (written in small letters on purpose) because this game is unworthy to be mentioned in presence of BIG Warhammer Online.

Age of Conan is dead, it's player base got cut by 60% after first free month and it's getting worse and worse as the "patches" (that break the game even more) roll in.

Aoc RIP

See u guys in WAR!
