I think FE might get much better when using real guns, like in the tutorial, but the weapons newbies get give the whole game a bad first impression. I think they'd do better to get over the formula of starting new characters out at such extreme incompetence. Give new characters access to real guns. And basic clothing options. Don't tell us we have to spend a few hours levelling, just to learn how to wear better sneakers. Make players work for the really cool equipment, but raise the bar players start at to a point where the game can be fun right away. Right now, it's not. That's fine for the fans who are going to persevere regardless, but for players who are going to judge the game on how much fun it feels from the beginning, they're just shooting themselves in the foot, with those crappy zip guns, nerf crossbows, and wiffle-ball melee weapons. The combat mechanics alone just aren't good enough to make that crap fun to work through.
When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

Also both games seem to fire and have same recoil type to me. Also It an rpgfps even if you aim right. They have a chance to dogde. It doesnt to you? Well its far from perfect but it has a physics system ingame, it has vehicle mechanics, it is based on pure FPS gaming, its not matter of an opinion, Planetside was a FPS like MMO, FE is not. Just because you get to click on your target does not make it a fps game. I suggest you fucking get to know Planetside before you say another word, its like night and day. Theres no comparison what so ever, none. Ive seen flash games with better FPS mechanics then FE got. As for it being a RPGFPS well sure it may be, role playing game first person shooter. Planetside was a MMOFPS. 2. It an opinion. CO and Aion are cookier cutter crap. It does feel like your in another world with its graphics. CO makes you feel like your in a cartoon. Aion just there. I dont understand why you calling opinion's bullshit ether. Are you ok? Yes thank you Im quite sane unlike others. To quote you "The character AP system felt unique and 3better then Aion and Champions online characters classes/customization." unique, well thank fuck for that, uniquely bad? 3 times better then CO? Have you tried it? It may sure as hell not be gods gift to the MMO community but 3 times as bad as FE? This isnt right at all no one but a fanatic fanboi could say something like this, the character AP system ha! Its like pointing out the decoration of a ship made out of swizz cheese. 3. I was refering to the CO class system not its character avatar costom crap. CO character classes Is all cookie cutter. The spells just different names with different animations that do the same exact thing. Aion classes same old. After years of the same stuff it becomes more borring. So when something unique comes along you can actually have more fun in it then the other crap. Oh right, although I quite agree with CO being similar to CoX the rest, is bullshit, the animations are good, the abilities are new and no they dont do the exact fucking thing, this is just bashing. Have you played it yes or no? I dont care weteher you like it or not, but dont point out mistakes in other games to defend FE it is one of the bigest pieces of shit as of a game Ive seen in years, it makes DF look angelic! Dont get me wrong Im glad you like it but dont try to fuck around with the subjects at hand, the game mechanics are shit!? 4. No, .Im saying the game not polish nor will it ever feel like it. It rough game and not for people who scream about polish.... like you. Yes thank fuck for that, polish my ass, it lacks the most fundamental a good game engine and mechanics and if that fails theres no way the game can recover.
Now many of you might think I just wants to flame or I just want to take a piss on its fans but hey I was one till I tried it!? Im so sick and tired of other MMO titles I wanted something new, then I got the chance to try one of my highest anticipated games, Fallen earth. Thought it was gonna be so cool, waited impatiently for 5h for it to download but when I booted it up I went all "Oh no" The giant chatbox, it looks hidious, like a free to play MMO from the 90s then there was the bars everywhere.. it was a MMO after all but when you first get to use a rifle it was clear that the devs had been blowing smoke, the bad sound, the minimal recoil not to mention you can run jump and still no impact on recoil (not that it mattered cause it didnt have any feeling anyway). This game looks so old, it looks 10 years old and its not even released. Maybe you could get away with some of these mistakes in 1999 but in 2009 this is a joke. If Bethesda a company deeply rooted into the RPG genre could make a mixture of RPG and FPS why shouldnt Icarus studios be able to mimic atleast some of their destinct FPS features. Why couldnt they get a real game engine, a real physics system, a good vehicle build. Planetside proved to us there can be such a thing as a MMOFPS so dont tell me it cant be done?! I expected better.

ok Lets start with this statement, I am not saying that its going to suddenly get better in 3 weeks, I am being mildly sarcastic. And the game I was hinting at, isnt AoC, its D&DOL.
And I guess you think Mad Max or the Road Warrior was made in the image of Fallout hmm? So much crap, so little quality. |

It's a game you either love or hate it seems. People who like WoW and similar games just don't get it. They don't seem to understand that it's a breath of fresh air to many of us who are just sick of swords and sorcery theme park games and want something different. So yes, its a bit rough around the edges, combat animations aren't its strong point but it still provides a lot of fun to those of us who like the more sandboxy games such as the original pre CU SWG or Eve. You've only got to look at the number of Wasteland Runner pre-order horses in every town to see that a large proportion of beta testers have been impressed enough to pre-order the game already and I'm one of them. The publishers aren't attempting to take on WoW, LotRO, SWToR etc. It's having a very low key launch, probably with just one server and I'm sure there are going to be more than enough players to keep that going. I imagine Icarus's overheads are a fraction of those of a company such as Blizzard so a relatively small playerbase will give them the funds to add polish to the game over the coming months. |

I completely agree with the OP...I was so excited to load up the beta and get to test out this game...played for about 4 hours and just could not take it any longer. The UI is one of the worst I have played with and combat was just awful... Sad to see a cool concept fail, but at least I have champions to hold me over for a bit until something else comes out! |

I joined beta lately and am actually playing the game, but am not thrilled, unfortunately. Well, this game has its cons & pros like every other game. Maybe it's worse than everyone expected, but let's see how it's gonna evolve. I'll definitely not pay for it unless they make some major changes / improvements, but I encourage you to try it out. palmiarnia.info |

I was able to get into the beta recently and give this game a nice run. However, I was disappointed about it. These are in my opinion, by the way, but: I found the controls a little annoying, especially when switching bewteen weapons. Its felt like I was doing too much work to go from my melee to my rifle. Couldn't they just map the weapons on the mousewheel by itself, like on FPS? Combat is a pain. Why do I have to switch back and forth bewteen two modes? Couldn't they disable shooting in towns or what not, or allow me to loot while in a attack state so I can get into the fight faster? It just seems they could merge the two modes just fine. Edit: I forgot to mention, the quest log also bothered me a large amount. It has no organization that I could find or figure. I which it would track multiple quests all at once. I felt that the combat was somehwat standard. It didn't really add anything new, at least not to me. If anything, it is like a average FPS. Nonetheless, attacking was enjoyable. My biggest beef is the stats, or the character development. It felt too complex and complicated. Sure they give you 20 points to spread out, but spread them out among several options. This may sound silly, but I want it to be dumb-downed a little. |

Where is my Auto Attack button? Welcome to the microwave age of mmo gaming. Your right, there are gamers out there that are looking for something new and refreshing. This game boasts a HUGE open world, it does have alot of factions, the setting is not like any other mmo out there now and player housing is the next big talk . It will be a Niche game. As I stated, the devs at FE got something here and I already hear we got a couple of Post Apocalyptic MMORPGS coming out as well. Post Apocalytpic seems to be the new theme, I wonder how 2012 the movie will be. Ok I got sidetracked.. I usually go where Angels fear to trend and will try this mmo since its seems to be one of a kind right now. I just need a game that breaks away from the mindless fantasys of Dwarfs, Elves, Orcs and Wizards. What sold me on the game and I kid you not.. When I was on my horse mount and travelling the desert roads to Depot 66, I was passed up by 2 players on a crotch rocket motorcycle and another on a ATV (LOL). Even though I was going to get this game from the get go, this just sealed the deal when I saw this. This game is off the hook and different, combines alot of the old school elements of mmo tricks and feels more like a sandbox mmo to me. |

Using the WoW fanboi attack are we now? For the note I believe this is bullshit, it has nothing to do with WoW, Lotro or any other games, its simply bad. The game mechanics are fucked up. As an ex EvE player its a fucking insult comparing it to FE, why? Because EvE mechanics are fuckin great! Sure you might say EvE has boring combat etc but the ships act like space ships would in the sense of them turning accelerating and so forth, FE does not so dont you fuckin dare go WoW fanboy on me. If youd read the thread you wouldve known this has nothing to do with theme park vs sandbox. I dont give a shit wether you like this game or that one, if you like FE or WoW but to say that people who dislike this game are pure bread RPG fans, or WoW fanbois is fucking pathetic. I can think of several things you might like about this game, the game mechanics however its not one of them, they fucked up the most important thing in a game and it will never recover. If you like it, good for you I didnt.

I played in the CB a few months back and tried very hard to test the game. I do actually 'test' when I'm in Betas, not just try a game to see if I like it. This one thought I just couldn't force myself to keep going on (not the worst by a long shot) but not the best by an even longer shot. I'm a bit disappointed that things are still in such rough shape. *shrug* Such as it is. |

I am playing this game on a HP dv5 laptop (C2D 2,2 and a 9600M GT DDR2), so it really is not a high-end system. The major towns in the game are about 10-15 FPS, but it does not really matter, as there is no fighting inside of the towns. The FPS goes outside from 30-60 (no shadows or AA, AF, maximal view range, 1280*800). An the game itself? I just stopped playing the beta because I am going to buy this game. Try it, really. And if you do not like it after playing and crafting a bit, let it be, this game is never going to be your favourite. |

Well the tone of this post and all the others by you in this thread simply reinforces my view that you just because you dont like it, it goes over your head that other people might. I have news for you, there are plenty that do. We know it has lots of faults technically but IT DOESN'T MATTER because we can overlook them and still enjoy the stuff that does work. So in conclusion I suppose the most apt thing to say would be the usual "if you don't like it, don't come crying here, go back to WoW" or more likely, another free beta to add to your growing list of games played.

Thats the one thing I don't get about these forums. People will play a game, decide they don't like it and come on here to sound the alarm and rally the troops on some kind of great crusade against a product as if they have the power to sway humanity. No matter how punctual or how many big words you use, people are going to play what they want and that's what it all boils down to... Throw away your cardboard sign and put your clothes back on, not everyone is wanting to follow you.. “There are dread secrets that none may know and have peace. More, secrets that render whosoever knoweth them an alien unto the tribe he belongs to, that cause him to walk alone on earth, for he who takes, pays.” -E. Hoffmann Price |

Im sorry if you misunderstood the purpose of my thread, its not for hardcore fans of FE obviously but rather for those of us who waited for the game and thought it was gonna be real good. The reason I made this thread at all is because of the shocking state the game is in, its one of the worst games Ive played. I have played a lot of mmos, most mainstream and others smaller ones but I never made a thread about how I despice the game because in general their just bland and mediocre. But in this case its so frickin bad. That is my opinion, for those who like this game fine have fun but those of you who hasnt tried it and is thinking about buying it, take a long look at this game, if your not into crafting or in a bad bad need of an apocalyptic mmo dont buy it. Wether your a WoW fanboy or an EvE PvP hardcore player it doesnt matter. The game mechanics are simply not acceptable in the 21th century. It is a bad joke, its fucking sad as it seems to have a descent crafting system and a good lore.

/agree with OP.
Played tutorial, thought it was ok, combat was pretty bad. Got into the main world found nothing all that exciting or engaging.
I liked the lore behind the game, but the actual gameplay mechanics are way behind the times. True the game doesn't hold your hand, but if the combat / questing / world is bland, then who cares about character development and meager sandbox elements. |
