Okay, my first post about this game here - but so far I am impressed with it.

Honestly, the game - from reading up about it - looks absolutely amazing. Novel XP system, novel - and very cool-looking - skill and combat systems, novel reputation system, even novel lore in a sense. And their community seems already very nice and strong too, which is very impressive considering they are still in Closed Beta. Decent graphics - not super cutting-edge, but Unreal engine means very good and optimized stability, lag-handling, and look-to-performance_and_requirements ratio.

But there is jusy one tiny concern, which can be described in 3 simple words:

Dark and Light?

So, a poll. No, I am NOT asking whether you think they will deliver. And I am NOT asking you to compare this game to DnL. No. Please read the poll question carefully. Again, I am talking about "presentation and impressions" at the SAME time in development, not the final result.

But that was exactly the point, you know. DnL was horrible, but while it was still in Development, it was very hyped up and a lot of people expected a lot from it.

Again, I am not asking to compare DnL to TCoS - not at all. I am asking to compare their PR and presentations. I think DnL is one of the best examples of a game where expectations did not match the results - which is why its good for this type of comparision.

Thanks for your replies everyone.

PS: I really like what I see in TCoS so far, I hope they deliver and have great expectations of the game. I just wanted to get some other people's opinions.

(Sure it could turn out as D&L, but the videos I downloaded show that combat is working to some degree & that there is information about class balance & such on the forums which makes me believe it wont be a total disaster (as in no information after release except excuses at best)).

TCoS is the only game that still has my attention. Now that I have lost hope for AoC, this one is the only game on the horizon I think might be worth something.

While tcos isn't the only game I'm interested in, I don't know of one 10x better. So I'd be interested in which one your refering to and for what reason's you feel it is 10x better?

Cheers

It sounds to me more like you haven't read very deeply into TCoS, my friend. This game promises to be genre re-defining, and a revolutionary game. All those hundreds of other games will not do that. Even WoW, the current leader in the MMO market can't make the claim to have been a revolutionary game. It was certainly an evolutionary game, and is extremely successful, but not revolutionary... only evolutionary. There is a huge difference in the meaning of those two terms.

But good luck with whatever game you intend to play, because it means there will be that much less social clutter in TCoS! Thanks!
