Well this game seems to toss the D&D into the toilet. Can't say if it's a good or bad thing.

I can. It's a bad thing.

After playing Dark Souls, I'm aching for a hard MMORPG.

wow you guys are excited by 2005 looking graphics of a character spamming a whirlwind attack?

hope you guys find a game you like, this looks like crap to me

Looks great, but looks a lot like the traditional WoW warrior.

 

I suppose WoW created the heavy armored melee fighter class and EQ, numerous D&D titles, 1e D&D, UO, ect ect all copied WoW's warriror class for their heavy armored melee class.

 

Actually now that I look at the videos, this game looks and sounds a bit like Vindictus. An action-combat lobby game. But Vindictus is polished and the combat actually feels nice with all the physics elements from Source and Havok engine.

We'll see how this pans out. If it has a good feel in the actual combat and it's FUN I might actually be entertained for a while.

At least the user-generated dungeons should keep people busy for a while.

This will be only another Champions Online... another Star Trek Online money making short-grind/no endgame/no meaning Cryptic game of failure. 

It isn't even close to bringing real 4th edition to the mmo genre. Everyone is blinded by The Foundry, which is nothing new. All Cryptic games did well when it came to hype. But delivery? Oh boy... 

People can argue as much as they want about what WoTC did to the DnD setting with the 4:th ed... But this will be one of the most faitfull adaptations of a DnD so far (most because 4:th ed was built more like a MMORPG then the traditional PnP RPG) what it is not is a adaptation of the 3.0/3.5 ruleset... that is what you have pathfinder online for.

Also i'd like to point out that while cryptic rushed two titles out (Star Trek and Champions) City of Heroes was a very well recived game and the mission building aspect of it, once introduced was a very versatile tool for building missions... Sure it is not the mod/dev tool of the old NwN SP series but that is simply not doable in the type of game that the new NwN is,

It is looking good. I'm anticipating the beta

The animations are looking really good, which to me is one of the most important factors. Poor animations is what put me off games like LOTRO and DDO.

Not sure why people are complaining about it being called 'Great Weapon Fighter'. Thats actually a sub-class in the 4th edition, along with 'Guardian Fighter'.

Just like the Rogue class has 'Trickster Rogue' and 'Brawny Rogue', so far they are only doing the Trickster Rogue.

Could they have just made it a Fighter with a secondary choice afterwards? Sure, but either way this is determined at character creation, not by traits or feats.

not looking too shabby..

Slow attacks but big hits. Bring lots of HP Pots. Not sure about the throw/leap but this is just a video. At least these are more or less traditional 2-handers and not some huge, 3xs the size of the player thing.

I do hope there are plenty of character slots. I can see alt-itis kicking in already.

Hope the 'game' is beefy enough to support replayability. If so, this might do me for a while.
