Way to break your NDA agreement...

Have you ever played World War II online - I'd be interested to know what you think of that game as well, as my intial thoughts after seeing the screenshots of Roma Victor were that the graphics are similar to that of WWII online, and the gameplay there definitely makes up for the lack of graphical splendour.





ww2ol is actually a good mark... since roma victor is going for realism... your not gonna have bf2/cs/quake jumping and running around at 10x human speed kind of combat.


its the most realistic combat i've ever see, on par with mount and blade but not the exact same system. and realistic means realistic, not that you can move like an elf or wolfman but you can click buttons to slash and to block.
third person view is simply for looking at your character, you cannot fight or do anything else while in tpv.
oh oh ! kannoth let my men crucify him, we are getting rusty hehe.


all the idiots in the past who have came on here blabbing about how theres nothing in the game.. have obviously never played anything except two weeks before wow was released...


ANYONE who has done a resonable amount of beta testing knows how its done. I wont say anything more since the blabbermouth who started this thread decided to blab hehe.
never happened.


I said it before and I will always say it.. rv is not for 90% of mmorpg players. I hope it grows slowly and does well, but it will never be an uber blockbuster like wow or swg  , however like both of those games, maybe roma victor will bring in NEW people to the mmorpg community that never played them before. And no doubt if RV does well we will see more of its type.
RV has proven to me that a system like verm can work. I chose verm. In this game no matter how you made it rich, your going to have advantages. And unless we have some bill gates running around no one is gonna become instantly super rich ingame, not only from just the sheer amount of real life money you'd have to spend, but also from the fact that there will most likely be limits to how much you can buy, since everything is connected and controlled like a real economy.

* orders his legion to crucify all three spartacusi *

It's nice to see my arch enemy on the cross :)

while I have always been in a guild of some sort except for some times in UO, I am also totally against "guild only" features.


the mmorpg industry is going to hell in a handbasket..

I dont believe its a bad thing that this game is not for everyone. That is something i have been saying on these forums, and even said in my player preview of RV on this webiste.


For those who are looking for something different then every mmo ever made since UO( eq, AeqC, DAeqOC, SWeqG, etc etc) and love the concept of a realistic and historically accurate hardcore mmo. Then this game is for you.


as for the interview, a good one. Although its no secret that I am in the test since I wrote that preview.. I can say that I eagerly await the full release of this game so we can get down to the buisness of recreating ancient Rome :P.

In 30+ beta tests, and all the games ive followed.. these devs are the best. I've followed Darkfall since day one and they treat their fans like we dont exist. I fully support RB and their game.

Finally a Dev who comes here to say whats really going on...I am amazed...I have played SWG for over 2 years and have not seen a dev devoted enough to give it to us straight with the exception of the Spacetime guys who no longer work with SOE I might add...
Have not been following RV too much but was thinking about getting into it due to some friends touting it as the next big thing...I am a patient person so I am happy to hear they want to have a finished product to come out with instead of a SOE Product...
I thank you for that...even if RV does not become my next favorite MMO I do Respect this company for its devotion to the players...

As I said in my preview for RV on this website, These are the best devs I've ever had the pleasure of working with. They have nothing to hide and are always honest with the testers. I know it sounds annoyingly fanboish, however It comes from the experience of 30 beta tests over the past 10 years.

The main game I have always followed, was Darkfall... and they treat the community like we dont exist, compared to that the RV devs are on the opposite side of the scale.


as for the pre order issue. I think people expect that since they pre order they will have the full game all nice and pre tested so they dont have to do anything. No one is forcing you to pre order, infact, i've donated close to twice the amount atleast that these people bought the pre order for.


The game needed more time, and how much more time it will end up being , I dont even think the Dev's can truely know. There is always a monkey wrench hidden in the code somewhere hehe. This is why I think most devs tend not to give many dates, as it has come back to bite some devs(ahem shadowbane) in the past.

Remember Mourning?

I actually agree with that really... ive never pre ordered a mmorpg, and it would have to be something ive waited for for years and wanted badly to do so hehe.

it is the common thing these days in the mmo industry though.

nobody, not even the devs, can truely predict when a game will come out.


bottom line is, its worth the wait... and if you want to try your hand at helping make it a great game, you can always pre order.

1

you paid to pre order the game, and were offered a spot in the test. If you pre ordered JUST to test, well thats your problem.

ok students settle down... today we will learn the basics of the latin numeral system.


ok ! I = 1 V = 5 X = 10

so... logically, if she weighs the same as a duck....


XXIV must be 24!


big difference from 13... rofl..

it helps to remember that you are TESTING a game that is still many months away from release, so dont expect much.


people claim they are veteran beta testers of 10 mmorpgs... yet always expect a full game.

the 13th legion is not available in the game.. considering it is an npc legion controlled by the emperor....


and why dont you try something original.

this is what I have been trying to say since i joined these forums.

ROMA VICTOR IS A REALISTIC HISTORICAL RECREATION OF LIFE IN 180AD ROMAN EMPIRE. IT IS NOT EQ NOR IS IT FOR THE MAJORITY OF MMORPG PLAYERS. IF YOU LIKE EQ YOU WILL NOT LIKE THIS GAME.

there, that was only time 287573

listen people... the idea is simple... if you dont like full loot and free pvp. FOLLOW ANOTHER GAME.
if you think full loot is silly, go play eq, why are you here complaining and hopeing the devs will change things? Trust me on this one that they will not.
the ignorance of so many people on mmorpg.com is astounding. How many of you have actually PLAYED a game with full loot and free pvp? There has only ever been one and it was out before most of you played mmorpgs no doubt. If you started your mmorpg career with EQ or later, you just dont know and you only react from what you have heard from other carebears who heard from other carebears.
If you can say your 27+ years old, have been in over 30 beta tests, and been playing mmorpgs since they existed... and you STILL dont like free pvp and full loot. Then I can enter into a debate with you because I know the person atleast has the background to know both ways.
There are some people who cannot handle the freedom a game like UO, and RV give. That is why so many carebears complained and the UO devs stupidly listened to them. UO has been utter shit ever since. People are sheep, and they need a game like EQ and WOW to lead them by the hand with the rest of the heard, and make it seem like they actually accomplished something. UO and RV are true virtual worlds where there player impacts the game on a daily basis.
RV is the most realistic mmo ive ever played, and I like it that way. Games like EQ and WOW are shallow illogical games that arent even virtual worlds. If you dont like the features of a game.. FOLLOW ANOTHER DAMNED ONE.


I'll freely name myself a "carebear" simply because I was introduced to the world of online gaming with EQ and have only played one other MMOG (WoW) for any lengthy period of time.
Now I do have my conscerns since I am only 21, only casually game, and did not have the good fortune to play this UO that I seen referenced to in so many forums. I would ask ,however, that our "carebear" conscerns not be met with such hostility. The reason I'm following RV is because I want to try a game that requires more skill than select target and press auto attack and has a little more risk.
I'm assuming that most people who post with conscerns about pvp games are like myself. We wish to try a different aspect of gaming through pvp, since the others did not hold our interests for very long, and decide to ask on the forums and get a feel for it from the 27+ year olds, who have been fortunate/skilled enough to be in over 30 beta tests, and generally played MMOG's since their existance. Instead of getting a general discussion about the benefits from these games, and showing us the ignorance of our "carebear" ways, we tend to get met with the general "you don't know what you are talking about," or "go follow another game if you can't handle it"
Again, help us to see how much better RV is than EQ and WoW and not simple tell us to go some where else. There really are a few of us "carebears" who wish to graduate from our training wheels.

*Goes to bunker and waits for forum assassination*



Very well put and thought out. I would like to offer you the fact that in games like UO and RV, everything can be made by the players. In this regard you are not putting the unbelievable amounts of time you might in a game like EQ to have to go camp for armor and fight monsters over and over. If you lose your stuff in RV it will not be that large of a blow, unless your walking around unarmed with no guards and carrying all kinds of expensive stuff or bags of money hehe.

The only exception to that may be if your a roman general like myself and you have all sorts of decked out armor on, but it would have to be a pretty bad rout of my troops for me to die and get fully looted in battle. But remember EVERYTHING can be made by the players, so whatever you lose you can make youself or know a friend you can buy it from very cheeply.

This is where it comes in what you said about playing something different, and smart. The fact that it IS dangerous to travel and you COULD lose your stuff will mean there will be more jobs available for the player. Merchants will need guards, and bandit players will try to take the stuff from them!


The economy actually NEEDS people to be fully looted. This is especially true for legions. Im looking at an exorbitant amount of money to train and equip 5000 players and npcs. I need to kill a lot of barbs and take their stuff to keep that going hehe. Barbs will have to raid a lot of roman settlements to keep their armies going to!


I am glad you wish to try some pvp(although rv is a HUGE jump from the pvp you know), my problem is that I hope that you do not wish to CHANGE the game becase of your concerns. I will be honest and tell you that when you play rv it may be a "culture shock" and you may get killed and be mad because of free pvp and full loot. It will be a "gank fest"(which is great... once you have tasted freedom that rv gives you will either be totally sold or run away), but if you TRUELY do want to try something with more depth (and yes free pvp and full loot add tons of depth in ways its hard to explain until you get into the game) then stick it out with a group of friends or join a legion, and You will be having fun in no time and see with open eyes how shallow and sheepish games like EQ and WOW really are.

The 24th will be patroling the roads and fighting those who wish to cause trouble for the empire. Now think about it, wtf would my legon be doing when there arent any wars if there was NO free pvp and full loot? It adds depth to the game and gives people more to do !. The PLAYERS rule themselves, defend themselves, THAT is the way of freedom, the way things SHOULD be.

Infact I personally extend and invitation to hang with me when you first get the game, until you get your berings straight and learn, because it WILL be a very different experience for you, and I would not want to lose a possible convert to the dark side(those dark carebears!)

Im a little concerned with uncontrolled griefing. Im fine with the full time pvp, just hope it doesnt result in abuses. I guess im a little sensitive about it, as I just went through a very difficult situation in another game. Regardless, Im excited about trying RV out. Im so desperate for an adult game that actually requires effort and determination, that im more than willing to put up with a few inconveriences. I do hope sufficient thought is being given to this issue though.


rofl.........

did someone kill you and you cried and ran to momma? If you want to get tough join a legion and kick some arse.
