Think this was just posted today, couldn't see it anywhere else on the forums:

Most definitely NOT the "WoW clone" the haters are trying to make it out to be.

Very interested now.

Can you show me where in the video did they prove it's not a WoW clone?

'Cuz I didn't see it.

Combat is turn based, maybe closer to GW2 than WoW but far from the combat of Skyrim, for example.

Graphics are worse than Skyrim (how did they manage that with no console restrictions?), which only tells me they try to cater to the WoW crowd with their dated computers.

All we need are the exclamation marks (I trust they will add their own version, which is the diamonds) over the quest givers' heads.

There is zero sand in this box and the only saving grace MIGHT be the three faction open world PvP, but only if the the map is big enough and can hold enough people.

pretty....then again GW2 is just as pretty......and i haven't logged in in over a month.

i like the art style and design. it does bring me back, at times, to the Skyrim world.

i dislike how they never showed a single shot of the UI and tab targeting....probably because when un-hide the UI you are pretty much back to playing Rift. That's rigth boys, if you hide the UI in Rift that's pretty much what it looks like.

I am still incredibly hurt they didn't make this game a first person experience. In the end i still have a lot of doubts that this gaem will feel any different then just one more WoW clone with pretty graphics.

only time will tell i guess.

if you watch the whole video they show the mini map and the cross hairs.  as to the rest of the ui my guess is they havent finished designing it yet.  they're also still working of first person.

as far as i have read there isn't going to be queues and i wasn't aware that the dungeons will be instances, i thought they were open?

or do you mean because there is multiple copies of the same zone that makes it an instance?

in that case, what does it matter? its not the same as an instance dungeon where its your own personal dungeon just for your group.

that is how wow does it.

from the reviews i have seen people are reporting that the graphics are actually better than skyrim.

also, comparing a single player game's graphic capabilities to an mmo that is designed to have 200 players on the screen at the same time is kind of silly.

it will have open and instanced dungeons.  but that guy doesnt know what he's talking about.  i've learned to ignore him.

other than how the video was presented it doesn't remind me of swtor really at all except for the story aspect.

for me the sad pvp and end game is what really killed tor

the pvp in teso looks like it has serious potential IMO

still, it remains to be seen how this game will keep people playing where other recent games have failed.

If the world is fully explorable and not separated by loading screens it will help, for me at least. I do love being able to just explore a game world that seems vast like SWG, DAOC and WoW at the beginning to an extent. Even in DayZ I spend half my time exploring everything since there is no fast travel or instanced zones. I think that's one of the best bits about Skyrim, I can just wander off and see what's happening over the other side of the continent if I want.

I think i've read in a fansite that there will be loading screens, but really short. Don't quote me on that one, maybe it's not true.
