i think the combat system is Super Interesting and inovative.. do you?

the thing that i dont like is the super outdated looking graphic and visuals. looks like a 2004 game.

will it be for USA?

Yes it is getting released in the USA,also I find the graphics really nice and easy on the eye and I cant put my finger on it but it really gives me a feel for a more dark and mysteries look.

If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

The combat does look very active and entertaining.. Altho one thing bothers me , tentonhammer used to say this also, and that is when you miss the front group and hit some patrols in the back they come after you. But what if some other party or person is about to attack that group..wont it cause friction. You know killstealing and that sorta stuff.

Can't find the video anymore that had that combat going..

 

About the gfx. It might look a bit outdated but still very fantasy like. Its like stepping in a dream world.

 

You know when you play too much MMO's when your partners pants have become a rare drop.

I think that regarding other groups being aggroed, you will most likely only tag those groups if you deal damaged to them. So if another group is closer by and your group aggros them, but the other group deals damage the mobs will go to them.

Although I believe that the mob that initially takes damage will still go to attack you, but not the whole group. Similar to how most mmos currently work basically.

Yeah that might be the case. But will the mobs keep on following you or eventually give up like in WoW for example. I remember this wasnt the case in EQ and caused the famous "TRAIN!!" shout outs.. :)

I remember seeing in a video that a mob was chasing one of the players then ran back to his location after a certain distance, so I dont think we need to worry about trains ;p

 This video sort of shows how the ai works, although it is about PeP. About half way through they are fighting a group of mobs who seem to split up based on whom is doing damage to them, which would suggest that what I intitally said is true.

I can not seem to find that video where this person is running along the road and a mob was chasing them, Ill have another look :)

edit: Can't find it, closest is a video showing some mobs chasing a guy, but it cuts out at the end of the trailer, I was probably thinking of that one. I dont think we need to worry about trains, its one of those things that have been almost completly removed from new mmos :) Guess we will have to wait and see.

I too think the combat system is interesting and will most definitely hold my attention for much longer than the current rehashes on the market. 


As for the graphics - I disagree quite strongly. The game is in no way ugly. I think they suit the game very well. It will also ensure that the game will be able to run on a wider range of systems, which is a huge benefit to some.
