Turn based combat???

Where is the good point on a turn based combat? is slow, and if you have to grind is a "great" (yes Im being sarcastic) Idea, or, if you have to kill lot of oponents, so... you cant move around and use the real time tactics like ktting? ... what is the point in this combat system for a mmorpg?

They are not the same, we all know features as they are given by Funcom still even then they are not always implemented at release sometimes never.

Lots of people are complaining and called trolls because their mad at how MMO's are released. AoC is not much different than most with hiding PLAYABILITY, and we had all been burned before. Some of us think differently as we have a low tolerance for getting burned. 

I have my OPINION and my view on AoC, and the way I look at it as Funcom is pulling some sneaky tricks, with using some fans for marketing, and PvP weekend as a prop.  I did not even try to get a weekend key as I FEEL that it would not be a fair representation of the game, but thats my view my outlook and my opinion. We all have our own way of viewing an MMO ( glass half full or half empty )

REMEMBER you can't return MMO video games, and with 1-20 solo play, many more copies can be sold before this game can be rated after release.

Concerns about PLAYABILITY are unknown, and that is what is getting half of us mad !!!!

You talk like you never been in the game and... then... whats the  point on this?  what about your "sneaky tricks"??? fans for marketing? and trolls for "unmarketing"? perhaps you are one of this last, trying to put some balance "on the field".

... no, really I do.

 

One weekend getting spoon fed PvP in controlled and limited environment and dozens of posts crop up with labels like "best game ever!".

 

Right, yes, of course it is, and advertisement that this weekend PvP was has nothing with building up the hype.

 

The game might or might not be as good as PvP weekend (and even that one had some issues) but at any rate this limited experience is hardly a measure for the whole product. Promo events like this usually present the best segment of the game and to honest what info I got on other pieces is none that grand.

 

I prefer to hear argumented naysayers becasue fans will give me the spin on the official hype jingle. Yes, I like to hear both sides of the story since I doubt that any product comming out these days can be ZOMFG amazing.

 

Wait until the game releases and you try more then battle ground style, semi twich combat and single player linear intro. Judging by received information I don't beleive the game is going to be the next generation of amazing, I also don't beleive it will be new VG. I do think that the game will get a large number of creeps due to gore and nudity content.

 

Wait and see, flame on if you will, I don't plan to respond:)

Who says fanbois, says trolls - they are the same thing. One are... dreaming with a wekeend, others just bash without beeing in... but, who cares about this? I wonder how lot of post about the "best game ever", and the lot others like "this sucks". Lot of two... and the game isnt released, and lot of this OPS ever played it... sensless...

Bah! discussing this is... sensless... the game is not released yet, so, really it can be "best" or "worst" mmorpg to date cause "dont exist" as final product. And, lot of people that is talking, didnt ever played this game, and! another thing, when you start playing a game is really MORE exciting than 6 month after... how can anyone judge a game that dont have a month on his own? I said... sensless...

This is by far the game of the year!!! I haven't had this much fun playing an MMORPG since December 2004 when I started playing STARWARS GALAXIES!!!!

THANK YOU FUNCOM

For bringing fun back to MMORPGs!!!!

 

 

Dont be... "thanks"? is a product you are buying you give thanks with your money...

Btw, As far as I tested the game just found only one problem and its perhaps that the game got "too much" quality, so, you need a very good comp, and its a "bit hard" buy it just for a game. And another thing, we CANT say how good or bad the game is: stills in beta, and the good games are the ones that last for years with updates and interesting content, funny pvp and some things that other games dont give you more than grinding and item collect.

Think aoc can be as described, but, we must wait and see...

Dont care about that, seriously, there are lot of trolls, angry kids with lot of time in their life... all of them didnt get into the game... is just "trash talk"... seriously, dont care about trolls and fanbois...

No crafting, no items with stats just a way to slightly enhance some items, lots of instanced dungeons and some instanced quests as well, most experience comes from questing; Sounds pretty simple to me.

seriously, Im start to be a bit "tired" of "loosing time" time with crafting and "crazy" search for items, components, etc... better for me there is a "fast way" to improve or better, customize, your gear and that items are not as fundamental as in other games like l2, wow...

With the competition suffereing...

-AoC is still a complete bugfest (according to some german sites) and less stable then Vanguard during beta, and it got pushed back to June...

-Warhammers PvE is still dull, and the game will prolly be pushed back again ....

-Wrath of the litchking will not release before summer...

So i guess this is the time to advertise and catch the souls of all those bored MMo addicts... This game has the potentiall to reach out and catch players all around the world, espescially experienced MMO players, just because this game is still an MMO, but combat feels so much different then anything we all experienced uptill now

 

 

Please release it...let it come... (Can you hear good old Engelbert )

This game givme the same feeling that "guild wars" on its day: seems that is coming silently with not too much expectaction on the shadow of AoC an War, but, with the last thing I saw, and the ideas its bringing its just time people "discovers" it. Just a feeling...

Btw, got the same good/bad things of the AoC PvP (the combat system) and the real time dodge. This was the first game that I heared about working on this real time combat... so lets wait, if it works fine can be great.

Ah and "what" is "western" then? the "west" part of USA?

Btw... Im gaining interest in this game, its good to see that they decided to wait a bit to polish it, also, it will be great to have a chance in a beta to see the actual state of the game.

Do you think that AoC's release date of May 20th should be pushed back a bit?  For me, I just feel that they are slightly rushing themselves..  But I would much rather the game be delayed then turn into a Vangaurd...

Should the game be released?  Explain you answer :D

I dont think the game needs the delay, personally, for my lasts experiences, the game is growing so fast, polishing some problemas but it gives me the feeling that is already done.

Well, that's too bad!
They don't exist!

I've played basically almost all FREE mmo's to date. With 96% of them just being crappy Korean clones, there's really no point in searching for a good free online game. It's sad to say it, but honestly, RUNESCAPE is better than half the damn generic games being released! At least it has its own style and a lot of things to do...

From now on, never again shall I ask if a good free MMO exists, for the fact of the matter is: they simply don't. If you'd like me to be a bit more specific, I'll overview some free mmo's I've played...:

Runescape- As if you didn't already know, a 3D Browser-Based MMORPG using Java. The graphics are obviously atrocious, as the resolution is particularly unbearable for those that are used to their games not completely pixelated, and the textures are very blocky and ugly. It's also a major lag-fest; While system performance is not an issue, there is a lot of lag between the servers. Nevertheless, it's a great starter for people who are first trying out MMO's and just want to get the feel of it. With a large array of skills and quests, one definitely can't complain that there's no content... But the gameplay in general gets very repetitive and boring quickly. Even if you get addicted like I once was, there comes a point when you realize that you were having absolutely no fun playing it to begin with; your time was wasted on trying to get to a higher level than the guy beside you.

Maple Story- When I first played this, it was a blast. It was a completely different style for MMOs, and a unique experience was very refreshing compared to all the other crap being released. When you reach level 20 or so, you can see the bleak repetitiveness that is offered. This not only draws you away from the game, but may leave many in desperation for hacks. With other side-scroller MMOs being released now, it is sure to become the pioneer of cloning.

Anarchy Online- Go back three or four years ago and it's a great game.

Flyff- How the hell is this so popular?

Last Chaos- It was just another clone, but it had a few things that made it stand out.

Screw it, I'm done wasting my time overviewing these. Anyway, the point is, free MMOs suck; that's why they're free.

but, seriously, is there any "great mmorpg" ? played almost all paying and free ones... first of all, they dont seems mmorpg, its more something like action, or arcade online games. Tired of "all this" get back to the traditional RPG, perhaps we are blind, cause they have changed, new things, new ideas, new worlds, new inmersive playing, new histories... while mmo still being the same, or worst, this is not a flame, just a feeling, but since WoW there is a battle to get the more "stupid" mmorpg, easy to play, kill kill and get back with some items, gear raiding...

So, if we really dont have a GOOD paying mmorpg, why are we expecting to have a GOOD free one?

So, there is no owning "forum" for this game, we already got some screenshots, news and, personally Im interested in what this game can bring us some new sci-fi world.

I think it will be good to get a forum for this one to talk about it, and its news.

When I said old features, I was not only talking about "what you can do". There are also not a high quality graphics in front games like aoc or war that will be previously released. also, reading description of the game seems that the feats are very "abstract", in the way there is no clue on how them will be implemented, I can have lot of ideas about a game, but when I have to mix them all and make them playable and balanced, then, there is a problem.

Im not saying this is not possible or this is a bad thing, just commenting that the game didnt bring "anything new" during years...

Btw, Im not saying that this one is dead, just its seems to go VERY slow in the development, and, perhaps, this will never be released... some years after, we got a nice test video but, is just a test video of some backgrounds, nothing else, in front of the textures that seems a bit old the movement are smooth and really fluid. But, can we judge a game with this video? can we say, this game will be released? will we have a beta on 20010? or perhaps the development was frozen and they start to work again?

Im surprised, cause I saw a video... a "test" video. I know after all this years is a poor thing, but, I was really thinking that this game was dead, no updates of the mainpage etc...

so here comes the answer: will ever see the light? when it cames up, will be anyone interested on such old features?

Comparing AoC and WAR has no use whatsoever. The "you can't" is not really well picked, it should be more like "it makes no sense".  WAR and AoC have two different ways of going about graphics and are aiming for completely different results. It's not so much about can or can't, but about the "why should you?". Both graphic styles will appeal to certain players. But that's individual taste, not a factor set in stone. After all, we are not Borg. ^_^

Thanks for your try to explain things, but  he already understood. Just want to "fight" a bit.

Although i utterly hate level based MMO's, one thing i do give credit to AoC for is their graphics engine! unlike WAR, AoC looks much more polished and smooth by comparison.

So here's to you AoC:

 

 

So, how can you compare? you are in the two betas? you know any of the two engines are finished? you know that war is running in the "lowest" mode? that aoc have not improved some code and performance? you cant compare, you can say, that you like aoc graphic cause you saw on a video they are realistic, but you cant compare and say they are much more polished cause the general background is really different.

I can watch any videos and look at any screenshots that have come out over the past two years and say

'this one looks nicer then that one.'

 

It's as simple as that. No need to go half ballistic because someone said AoCs graphics are nicer then WARs. Sheesh.

You can see some screens that when the game is released has nothing to be with the what you saw. Why? I explained it before, seems that you didnt read it. War Is using pre-alpha footage, and in beta the setup is auto-turned to LOW. So perhaps the graph engine and the effects have nothing to be with the real thing. AoC is also in beta, and, as the other one, the textures and effects are not finished.

So you CANT COMPARE dont games that are not finished. Cause you will surely miss, you can say "PERHAPS" this will be better... just perhaps... or "perhaps I will like this one more". Also, the enviroment and the background, speces req, skills type, fighting engine, are totally different, seriously, can you compare the GFX NOW? I think we cant.

Its odd because theres a strange connection between the WOTLK trailer and thriller its pretty neat if you watch thriller on youtube and think of WoW.

no offense please, but... is not that a bit "nerd" or "freak" comment? I mean... you see WoW everywhere in the RL? is just a game...

<smiles> There are not many people that are in oth beta's, actually i know only one person that is in bot... And no i am not going to tellyou his name that would be against the NDA.

 

 

But to me it seems like comparing AoC graphics versus Warhammer graphics is like comparing Apples to Oranges.

 

 

Then if he is in the two betas, dunno if this is a break of nda? ;)

anyway, just want to say that you cant compare two unreleased games, and, taking in account that their engines are not working at full, at least, as I heard.
