I can tell you this game will not be the next big thing. Its old school playing with a MA theme. People in NA want things like WoW and they want easy mode. This isnt easy mode. Its a world you can be a part of and make your own adventures. It isnt like WoW.

 

I think this game can touch those people that enjoy games like UO, SWG, Vanguard, etc. It is not meant for the WoW generation because you have to work for things still and craft and take time to find someone to craft you gear. It isnt all about raids raids raids and gear gear gear.

Well, every game that has tried to compete with wow has failed, because they were trying to be wow... and you cant be better at being like wow than wow itself, can you?

The truth is you cant compete with them, but you can offer the rest of the players, those that are tired of blizzards game something different, catter to a different audience and become great by doing it.

i mean i played wow for about a week, thought it was a turd, moved on. Wasnt really for me.

So true. You cant beat em. You have to think outside the box. In all honesty, I dont want another WoW. I want another UO. I thought ArcheAge would be my next game until I found this one. So lucky me. Not much waiting now. :D

I tried it for few hours on closed beta. 

I know it's beta... But game looks cheap, it looks like f2p game and it's not a compliment in any way.. It's candy colors, 'quite okaaay' character animations... but camera movement over my character makes me sick. It's soo bad, I feel like back to Lineage2 or worse.

Skill system looked complicated, but it's matter of time to get used to, like in most games.

Quests are more boring than in Tera, and it's quite an achievement.

In the end, some people don't seek 'more' in games, that's fine. Age of W. might be just for them. But 'big thing'? Noo, sorries.

It has everything most mmo players have been asking for and more, i do believe it really has a shoot at being there, if people give it a chance.

The last option is for people that dont know anything about the game but still want to vote?

Back to the game, it has:

Open world, full pvp, epic mass pvp, sieges, its skill based, and player skill matters more than numbers, housing in the open world in the form of castles that you build, has variety like i havent seen in any mmo yet and a lot of other stuff just screams "THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR".

The game has depth, you can ambush other clans, protect or assault caravans, steal, spy, explore. Exploration is actually rewarded.

Really cant belive that a game like this isnt getting all the attention of this site, or the whole industry for that matter.

I'm going to play it...but for an open pvp game...its way to instanced

Actually instances are kinda rare unless you want to do dungeons, wich are good to get recipes. the bulk of the game is spent duing pvp activities.

Even in those dungeons, some bosses can summon players from all over the world to help him fight agaist the group thats doing the dungeon, really cool.

I am actually interested in this game, at least to research and play to formulate a better opinion, but it is far too pvp centric to be "The next big thing" in western countries.

 

It does however pique my interest far more than Darkfall.

Played the beta and Darkfall is so much better than this if you ask me.

havent tried darkfall, how is it better?

I didnt like Darkfall. It was too little, too late for me.

The company didnt deliver on promises made and the game lacked the community to make the game fun (for me).

It reminded me of taking old School Ultima Online after the separation of Felucca and Trammel and just giving everyone the Felucca World.

It was full of PKs that were jerks and assholes all competing to increase their epeen size.

What I loved about UO was that all playstyles were intermingled into one land. You could be a jerk, but you were going to have a Guild of Carebears knocking at your face. Or the opposite. You might be standing in for the good and be met with by an Army of Reds killing all of you.

It was by far the best experience because we had all playstyles together. After they split the lands and Felucca became the Prison Yard and Trammel became Disney World, everything went to crap for me personally.

Playing Darkfall was like walking in the Prison Yard. Just a bunch of people waiting to pounce on new meat.

To me, not so much fun. Ive grown tired of games full of jerks.

I can honestly say that this game has every playstyle playing. I have seen crafters, PKrs, Goody Goodies and its neat to see again. Its definitely my style of play.

I did not like the look of it from the video I saw.

I did not see combat, just running around town. The visuals did not entice me one bit though.

 

Edit: Changed gameplay to combat

Well, it does have better graphics than any of the mmos you have played, so i dont see how that would be an issue to you. the combat can get really intense, it has a depth i havent seen in any other game, where its more about movement, positioning and trying to read your opponent than anything else, attacking isnt always a good ideaand every skill set has its own characteristincs that diferentiate from all the rest.

it really has that cinematographic feel to it, theres a lot more than just standing there and hitting eachother on the shins to see who has the bigger boots.

 You come across like a salesman or marketing person.  Do you have any relationship with the game?

Uhm, nope, not at all, i just played it, couldnt believe how good it was, how little attention it had gotten in this site and decided to ask people around.

Plus, i see how much people bitch and moan for features that arent in other games that are already in this game, so i thought id ask. And when you hear that the biggest gripe they got with the game is that its based on the age of martial heroes in china, and that it could be, maybe, p2w, i really have a problem seeing why it wouldnt be a big game.

The game is good  seems to have some very well thought out game systems.It reminds me of 9Dragons on steroids and with actual content and hopefully development.I do however think it's gonan be a niche game and not the next big thing.

I think the presentation and UI is very rough and things aren't explained very well at the start.The latter will probably improve with better translation though.But I don't see the mass appeal there to make it the enxt break out sensation.

I will never even try ths game as I don't really care for the setting. Just doesn't appeal to me.

I truly hope that it doesn't become a "big thing".  I think it's a game that will have a dedicated community that 'gets it' but I just don't see it as a game that's even made for the mass market.  As I've stated before, I think the game appeals to a certain type of MMO player but not really something the masses will buy into.  

For my taste, it's the best MMO on the horizon by a long shot, but I just don't see this being the norm for the majority.

Completely different games that are targeting different audiences. Yes, both have Open PvP but they are executed very differently.

Not true. Admins have stated that everything will be attainable whether you pay or not. Now, this does raise the question how the difference in attainability. There are a few of us that are opposing the sale of skills in the CS, which is in the Chinese Edition. In my opinion, this is a game worth subbing but you're entitled to your own opinion.

I really enjoyed the beta. I liked the addition of cultivation being the route to increasing strength and being able to max out skills very early in-game. I'm excited for the nex beta and for the launch to see where the developers take this and to see if they'll actually keep listening to the community.

While I also am excited for the game, there's something people need to understand.  This game is a port of a game that has been our for a while in china.  Like all other games that have been ported out to the western audience.  Major non-language changes we see are based on the games in the parent country.  Our input has zero impact on the games direction, and never will.

Im glad for that. I dont want a WoW clone again. I am super stoked that our "majority" wont get a say. All the people here on MMORPG that complain about Theme Park after Theme Park can finally play a Sandboxish like game.

I am so glad they didnt dumb it down for NA. So glad. Give me what they get.
