Yeah Mark has said that they wanted all the classes to feel unique and the ones they removed didn't hold up to the test and couldn't have been whiped into shape before launch.

Rated from worst to lease worst.

1. Dark and Light..

2. SWG.

3. WoW (not for the game but what it has done to the community)

4. Planetside.

5 Shadowbane.

They were dropped because the dev crew didn't feel like they were as flessed out as the other classes.

For me the sense of danger doesn't really effect me. For me its just the amount of time, My first DAoC character to almost a year to get to 50 back in 01, my first WoW character took 1 month and a half to get to 60 back in 04.

When my character dinged 50 in DAoC I really felt like I had sometime, I built something, I earned it. Any other game just feels like another level I didnt feel like I had really did anything or had to put anything special into it.

How tough is this game going to be? 

Is it going to be another snoozefest autopilot game?  Where you automatically get quest items, then follow the map arrow to the quest giver to recieve some blah blah etc..  Or is there going to be challenging group quests? 

Anything in the PvE slightly challenging?  Or is the only challenge to be had in this game PvP.

I enjoy PvP alot, but I don't know if I would enjoy it that much if there was not a solid PVE game as well.

Unfortunately I doubt we will ever see another "hard" PvE game ever again. The whole genre has transformed from a community grouping games into small squad based action games.

To answer your question WAR is likely to be a quest grinding super easy PvE game, lets just hope its still fun.

I am not trying to be an ass here but FFS its not like these companies are out there TRYING to launch crappy unfinihed games. Sometimes timetables workout sometimes they don't  It's not like some people on one of the internets millions of forums can say "Hey. guys don't release untill the game is finished" and they are going to say "Really? why didnt we thing of that before.."

p.s. God im so sick of hearing the phrase "paying to play beta" it's a complete and utter nonsense.

I am in support of 100% drop rate for quest items as long as grinding mobs is still viable way to gain exp. HAving to grind quests like WoW is just freaking horrible.

I'm talking the real crap:

FFAPVP

Some form of corpse looting

World PvP

Guild politics

Consequences to losing

 

I'd literally pay $45 a month to play somethings on these lines that's not outdated.

You will have a game like this when the people who want only this make up more than 5-10% of the MMO gaming population.

I do miss the old days..

Worst for the genre? WoW for sure.

Worst game period? DnL

Dark age of Camelot was quite simply the greatest MMO to date.

PvE is mixed into the PvP if you watch some gameplay videos. However, don't expect the endgame PvE to be that great. They already have enough content in the game already, I can't imagine the raids being anything special.

 

There are no raids only open world dungeons witha  6 man box.   There's only 1 instance per realm in the entire game that needs 24 people and thats the King Instance at the end of a City Siege.

This actually kind of made my day. So called "raids" that only let 24 people in are just stupid...

This is Mythic we're talking about, DAoC was the best MMO in history, WAR has to be good.

They made a game about pirates. Eveyone knows Ninjas are far superior.

The servers are going to be fairly well balanced. Mythic Devs have stated that the servers will have population caps for each side. So if a server can hold 1000 people Destro can have no more than 500 accounts.

And just like DAoC there are mechanics in place to help sides that are being overrun. XP bonues and certain buffs.

Before people wig out 1000 is just a example number they have said it will be more than 1000 but havent released a hard number yet.

I have to go with the chaos races as the crapiest.

Eve is always installed on my machine. Little bit of LOTRO now and then, but mostly Mass Effect for PC working on my 6th playthrough (sniper rifle spec is easy mode :)

I am not going to say anything about WoW or DAoC, I just have to laugh and the phrase "WoW Vet"

Hehe.

Rogues are the least played class in VG, by a long way.

Order Warrior Priest
