Twitch combat with alittle bit of complexity enought o get the player involved and actaully paying attention (like a lvl 1 being able to put up a fight to a lvl 40) instead of just hack n slashing (although that is fun sometimes >=).)    

Like Dark messiah but alittle more indepth

Atleast its combat animations and graphics don't suck like ALL the Western made mmos.  Sure its fluff and you get over it after a while, but how can you get over the utterly poor combat animations when you can't even stand to look at the game initially. 

Wow someones gonna complain about combat and animations when teh game has only 1 of the 2.  The combat there is hardly any.  I think even WoW has more combat than that (and i hate WoW).  If its not even semi-twitch dont even bother trying to compare that games combat to any other, western or not.   Once you go twitch you dont go back!

The game has changed (MS, portable wormholes, new missions, a new zone, new skills - amongst other things) so if you haven't played recently certain kinds of criticism simply lack credibilty.

TR has issues, most negative posters here at least try to be constructive about it and I applaud them for taking the time to post. 

<modedit>

And like it said, Its the combat that bugs the hell outta me.  The amount of mmo's being put out are the majority - cookie cutters.  Their following the trend and asian grindfests have nwo for quite some time, mainly starting with daoc.  

One of my main qerks with this game is that (even though I actaully liked it) its VERY similar to auto - assault (Combat wise).  You can throw as many different ways to travel, to fight monsters or any variety of hte same pieces of clothing as you wish, but if im gonna play another auto assault meets City of heroes game it better be interesting, it better be able to make me more money than i put into it and give me a wife while im at it.  And im talking the hot nerdy chicks too, non of those run of the mill cheerleader types.

New skills?  Super!  Mighta s well make the ability to make pies while we're at it!   The basic combat isnt htere, so whats better to use a bandaid, ADD MORE SKILLS.  

Like i said this is all my opinion, I dont know why your trying to make me accept yours, but go ahead by all means use your American right to have it.  I just dont want to be talked to by a facist who cant allow someone to have their own opinion w/o trying to strike them down.  Like i said initially im glad i didnt waste my money (cause when you spend money, usually its wasted whether it was a good purchase or bad), i didnt say WHY DID YOU ALL WASTE YOURS.  So really your just being a grown up adult, by telling anyone who disagree's that their opinion doesnt matter.  Oh and btw would you mind holding my hand across the street so i can go get myself a candybar! 

Well like i said, it was to a joke afterwards, cause i can understand that if these alien monsters could just land in the middle of a base and wipe everyone out then they would basicaly destroy the whole purpose of the game, since the avatars of the game are too stupid to make underground bases (much like you'd see in vietnam since they knew we could pulverise them from the air). 

Unlike some, I undersatnd that it is a video game, it doesnt need to make sense, I dont judge games on their storyline like some.  I play to have fun, with gameplay, which in my opinion.  This game lacks.  Really have funw ith your opinion, Infact go ahead and tell your opinion, other than sitting there telling everyone else their wrong.  Cause that just makes you look like a pompus fool. 

The games barely been out for 2 months.  Your trying to tell me that any amount of hours i put in the game are already valid, then wow.  This game must have went under a complete overhaul since the 2 weeks I played the game cause if my opinion doesnt matter now I mustve been playing atari right before they turned it into the Xbox 360!

<modedit>

played it before joymax had it but im gonna try it agin.  Thanks for posting this will give it another shot.

Aye, first MMO experience and so far non compare.  

The only thing i wish they would do with AC is revamp its core mechanics.  Although it is the best so far, the PVP has so many bugs in it (which is why g4tv rated it so low) that it gets more frustrating than playing an FPS.

Still held onto me for 4+ years.

I actaully have played this game, and from that I make my opinions.  And since I have played this game, and since i respect the players of the game, except for fellows like you and ones that must repost about how I dont matter since i dont pay any fee's towards the game, i feel that it is ALRIGHT to show someones feelings for why they dont choose to play the game, cause i know im not the only one that feels the way i do towards combat and copy paste games.  

So really am i a loser for not only adding to a joke that someone originaly made and some people take out of context and TAKE IT PERSONALY.  Am i a loser for then backing up how i actaully feel with my own experiences with the game and stating exactly why i dont like the game.  Or am i a loser for making a person come back and leave messages on a forum replying to someone he considers a "loser."

<modedit>

Much like the old galaxies game.  But with more player involved combat, more twitch.  LESS BUGS, almost everything else the same (made it like old UO but with too much o.0 elements). 


NO COVERT UNLESS USED AS A SPY SKILL OR SOMETHING

combat looks like crap, better than most games i'll give that, but the whole auto target thing is gettin old for me.

Im still one of those fanbois but im not going to start carving darkfall into my chest, just yet.

What is so wrong about saying HEY this game is promising great features, i'd like to play it.  Then knowing about the game, then posting about the game.  Its kinda funny how some peopl ehav eto take the time writing about how dead an idea is when they're saying epople are wasting their time with the game, when infact, they're wasting their time talking about a game they dont even care anything about.....Why the hell am i wasting my time, oh wait.  My time!

So i am hoping there will be some sort of space travel later on and be able to make are own mechs.  And maybe alien playable races both good an evil for some real pvp.  Ya i know they wanted to release the game with a solid state first but it just gets boring doing the same thing all the time, which is just run around shoot stuff.

Cause that woul dmake too much sense and not make the game worth the 50 dollars initial and 15 dollars a month.  

Its probably a planet of the apes syndrome where someone gave htem a ship so they made alot of them but the retards dont really know what their doing with them.

 

At least i didnt spend my $$ on this.

Which is naturally why your opinion means nil.

 

Please. I've learned more in the 3 day trial than you have watching youtube videos of the opening cinematic, if you even gave it that much attention.

Instead of asking why this, why that, have any of you above posters asking questions ever decided to a) read the manual, or b) lacking the manual, figure out the answers?

Maybe when you were walking around the AFS bases, you failed to notice the giant turrets  stationed right outside every base, or the big honking gun battery smack in the middle of Foreas Base. The reason you don't fly over or attempt to land dropships in the enemy base is because the dropships would get shot down; and then not only do you lose everyone that you had intended to attack the base with, but also a perfectly good transport ship.

TR is set up like you're playing in someone else's RTS. Specifically, I get the same feel playing this game as I would playing Supreme Commander. Dropships plop a small number of troops down on a small patch of land and leave them to fend for themselves, or deploy them from a base as they are 'spawned'.

For anyone who's played an RTS, you know that certain guns usually work on only certain types of defense. The Bane has established a strong anti-vehicular defense, probably translating into they have a ton of EMP weaponry on their space cruisers. Think about it -- if your ship's electrical systems go down in space, your $300 trillion spaceship has just become the largest coffin ever designed by man.

So the AFS in its technological inferiority relies on you, the grunt. The nameless, faceless forward line troop to get the job done the best way you see fit. And playing up the levels, you decide how best to go about this bloody massacre of enemy forces, working alone, working in groups, working stealthily or taking out your rocket launcher and riding through the Bane's front door.

The first zone was wonderfully designed to illustrate how one-sided this war is. The Bane are constantly shelling the entire Concordia Wilderness zone from orbit, but the human bases (aside from Foreas with its aforementioned Giant Honking Anti-Spaceship Gun) are too small and probably difficult to locate from space. So they just kind of shoot the surface randomly while the humans and Foreas strike back using guerilla tactics. Don't let the Bane land and establish a stronghold is your strongest desire, and there's always plenty of noobs to keep the Bane from holding the Landing Zone control point for long.

In closing, if you're going to review the game, play it. If you're going to play it, try to at least get an understanding of the environment. If nothing else, read the manual, chew the scenery. The answers are there.

ROfl off of all of htat, do you think a physical battery could actually deminish energy signals (Like that of a huge battleship) . Please dont try to hurl insults on why someones opinion doesnt matter when you dont even bother to ask whether or not they even tried the 3 day trial.  I have seen the youtube videos which is why i tried th e3 day trail.  YOU CAN DODGE BEHIND OBJECTS!  But then have the blasts follow you all the way to behind th eobject....and go right through the object.  COMPLETELY IMMERSIVE FIGHTS AND BATTLES WHERE PLAYER SKILL DECIDES.  Yeah just as much as Auto Assault.  Same exact thing, you aim towards your enemy and fire.  dont even have to be aiming AT your enemy just in the general location.  GO ahead and deny it your just in what they call DENIAL.  I didnt go any further than the 3 day trial cause i could tell already other than getting new skills they all do the same thing.  If there was alittle more player "skill" involved or if i had 10 or so friends playing it, then i could find it a good game.  

But sorry Storyline and ambience isnt what attracts me to games, NOR is it the "Next gen" graphics (which this lacks) its the combat.  This has as much strategy as any other clone MMO, korean or DAOC like.  

IN CLOSING if your gonna make assumptions, make them right.  Otherwise dont even bother sharing your opinion with others.  

*DISCLAIMER* This is directed at the player in the quote and not directed at any other person that plays or enjoys the game, the poster realizes that everyone has their preference but just doesnt like the asses some games make that believes that if someone believes they made a right choice in not spending money on game sthey like they have to try to put them down.

im sure theres only going to be a few things separating this from toher mmo's. Still looks like the same old grindfest with a new take on how to level up attributes

can still find over double that amount of htat companies old game DIABLO II.

(Yes before htey worked at flagship studios most of them worked for blizzard, if you didnt already know that)


They have potential witht he game but I think this game was made to earn money to supply.  Im not angered at the players and making fun of anyone for playing it.  Im mainly mad that even people with such talent as these guys (THIS IS IF THIS GAME WAS SERIUS AND NOT JUST SOMETHING TO PLANT THEIR ROOTS) wasted it on a game that, although shows more player involvement than some, made something so simple and easy.  

I just hope their next title (other than mythos), if an mmorpg.  Is going to be alittle more difficult, AT LEAST MAKE THE MULTIPLAYER AMUSING AND REWARDING TO MAKE YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH OTHERS.  

Whoever plays, hope you have fun, im still waitin on that game to perk my interest like some of the old school titles did.

Thought it was F2P online?

Although this games alot like WoW (if you deny play both and then read the rest of my message) but the fact that is relies more on twtich combat than the new DAOC Fighting style it was alot mroe playable than WoW.  THe only problem i had with it (in alpha) was that the ranged were way too powerful, i could clear out a room faster than with my swordsman (sorry cant remember the names) get more exp w/o taking as much damage.  I got further in less time.  Just didnt seem like the classes were ablanaced much, soon after release I heard the swordsmen had a damage increase but I havent had the money to check it out.  

With the twitch combat and the tight leveling curve it gains for its retro RPG feel this game would be alot of fun to play, the only downfall i really see is its INSTANCED Levels.  For an MMORPG To have instances i find it kind of useless AS an mmorpg.  But for something thats free monthly, whose to say its not forgiveable?

3.8/5 stars, great graphics, fun combat

Well I think the only class that was overpowered was the Evoker because at high level evokers were able to run through things too easily but don't forget you can make many types of builds for each class. For instance you can make a Guardian and make him either defensive or offensive and still be very effective. Though either way, the game has progressed nice and it really fun to play.

Having a set path on where to go with these classes kinda irks me.  Reach lvl 40 to get these 3 skills, get to lvl 75 to level up these things.  I dont really see that as very fun. (i am aware there isnt that many levels but level requirements non the less)

I know every game has their own version of this, like even my praise to darkfallonline can be seen with this.  You have 100's of skills to choose from, each ranging from 0 to a max level of 100.  Once you max something to 100 you can move on to something else, EA:  Get 100 swordmanship?  Get dual wielding!  Also withthe whole get to lvl 35 on your sword skill, but it isnt NEEDED in order to be good or cause a boatload more damage, it just helps.

And i do really like the old dev team from the Diablo Series and i gotta say that It was kinda bringing back old memories of playing diablo II.  except in a world i had to explore on the streets instead of from the sky.

The main difference between trash talk in games  like eq, wow and then the god of PVP UO, AC DT, and even something as Shadowbane (I use this game loosely) is that PVP ones (Not so much shadowbane, but using cause open PVP) take more skill and thought into what your actions will do, EQ and what not you cant really get KOS (kill on sight) by anyone so you dont really worry too much about what you say you may just get kicked out of a guild (clan or alliance, didnt play eq was in AC at the time)  

The Crap talk was still there, but when did you ever see a football game on tv and didnt see any intimidation goin on :-P.  I can tell you many stories of family gatherings for the super bowl where everyone gets so into the game that crap talk comes into play, friendly and more frustration towards the game.  I fyou ask me i think its more excusable in a game where your putting your actaul time into it, where its something you have to build up and create and not to mention pay monthly for (even if it is kinda cheap, unless your a college student like mah!).  Times can be frustrating and what not, or your just a jackass witha  huge ep33n (basicaly means EGO).  

All i can say is I'd rather have OPEN pvp so that if someone runs up and atackins/kills your mob and they tell you yer ghey i can just take my claw and gove it into his trhoat ot her than tell him, OH YA THEN DUEL ME.  Again my own preference to take care of teh lamerz :-)

-.- I`m getting tired of people flaming 2D games...

heck, I never heard anyone complain about graphics in MUD games. because "ya DUH, they`re text based". but even so have rich content and depth that`ll keep lots of players stuck to it.

if any game looks as "horrible" as this one, and it`s made in this time of year, there`s bound to be something to compensate the low fi graphics...

if there isn`t, flame the lack of content, not the graphix.

With all due respect if it doesnt have content are you then allowed to bitch about the crappy graphics?

And what might be content to you might not be content to others.

Like the game i played for several years.  Some people prefered getting different pies to bake and having new clothes to wear and outfits to show off and even wedding ceremony pieces in order to create, while others wanted items that were more balanced for pvp and better things to hunt and less things to keep them from pvping.  

Of coruse thats just a side note in any case.

I tried an earlier version of it and it was alright.  But didnt exactly have the GTA feel most are used to, it had more like game modes wher eyou ram cars into each toher or even just pick a car and try to blow each other up.  THey even had helicopters and airplanes.  

Havent tried it lately though.
