As the topic title states, I want to know what people think of AOC. Not just any people though. People who actually LIKE World of Warcraft, and may still be playing it but are trying out a new game or whatever. Mainly I want to hear opinions of people like me, since I still like WoW but want other games to play. |

Depends which aspects of WoW you like. If your a hardcore raider .. forget it. AoC is not the game for you. If your a quester ... then you'll love it .. theres a TON of quests. If your into PvP .. My advice is wait and see. Seems off atm, as far as PvP goes. Combo's are damm hard to pull of against a target who's jumping around using the basic attack. Spells the same (if they bounce behind you) Seems theres some PvP issues to work through. If they can sort them out .. then try it. Btw I mention spells b/c very very few are IC .. and those have long CDs. If you can bounce around a caster chances are slim they will land a spell on you :/ Unless they can root and run away. (Roots are ground targeted AoE) D~ |

Originally posted by demarc01 AoC has like 10 endgame raid dungeons with tiered gear. Sounds like there's some raiding to be had. Way more endgame dungeons then WoW had at launch. |

Played WoW to 70 and raided 3/4 days a week for 2 or 3 months. Really enjoyed it but got quite frustrated by the fact it took massive chunks out of my life. Went away for 4 months and came back, without the time for PvE so played PvP, but got incredibly annoyed by class balance, and the fact that for the most part, gear > skill. Playing Conan now (will cancel my WoW subscription tonight, its so easy to restart it barely matters) and since the EA. Level 29 Conqeuror, enjoying the way classes interact in a positive way, buffs make more difference and some even require certain actions from others. Talent trees (feats) are IMO similar, but better than WoWs. There as of yet doesn't seem to be certain cookie-cutter specs for different things. I love the sprint and stamina mechanic, haven't really run out of it in combat though, does it have limitations similar to mana? I hope so, hated manas un sustainability in WoW... |

The problem with WoW expansions is that they effectively reset the game. That can have a positive effect with people starting alts and experiencing a different angle, or a negative when people find easier to leave than start over again. |

Ok, why are you posting the trailer? Trying to show me the graphical supremacy? Doesn't really matter if the gameplay isn't as good as WoW's. Also doesn't matter if my computer goes into a coughing fit due to pushy game developers and there insistance on upping system reqs long before the average person can afford a system that runs it. Don't get me wrong I love good graphics and whatnot but I JUST had this pc built to run games like oblivion and EQ2 and Vanguard and now this game comes along that can very well make all those seem like ancient technology. Now with that aside, I need people like the one above poster to comment on my original question. He at least mentioned what he liked in WoW etc. |

I like WOW and I'm having a great time in AoC. I have no intentions of canceling my WOW sub (though I have cancelled my CoH/CoV sub and I played that game since launch). So far I like the following things in AoC: - The questing and exploration. I like the quests I've been doing so far and having the option of doing "Normal" or "Epic" in those "mini-dungeons". I know some people hate them, but I actually like the voice overs in the quests and the options of saying different things to the quest giver.- - I like the apprentice option (this is like "sidekicking" in CoH). Didn't know they implemented this, and I love it. Helps me play with friends that don't get to play as much as I do and not worry about the level differences so much. - I personally really liked the day/night cycle option in Tortage. I could go off and solo when I felt like it and then go group when I felt like it (and friends were on). I know things change past 20, but for the newb area it was nice touch (at least to me).
I haven't gotten to the PvP bits yet. I will eventually. I tend to do PvE stuff first and then go into PvP later (I make multiple chars).

couldn't manage to make yourself look stupider if you tried. Absolutely idiotic comment and in caps to put icing on the cake. I played EQ and loved it, then | |
