Sorry, but as someone said in chat last night:

No loot=no fun.

I'll pass, thanks.

Hi all,

Well, I'm a Veteran Newsletter subscriber, and a BOOM Comic promotion candidate, but so far it looks like I've struck out on both accounts.

Any guilds in beta with a spare key looking for a mature 30something with job and wife kind of recruit? :)

Cheers,

Oy.

Good lord.

LET.

STAR WARS.

DIE.

Seriously, the IP is old, worn out, now very trite and just flat out dull.  TIme to create a new universe, a new world to explore and write books about and film movies about.  Let Star Wars die.  It was fun while it lasted, now let it RIP.

The classes and cities were almost done. This is just lazy development. I think it sucks.

I have been a big, almost huge champion of WAR for a year and today it stops.

Now Mythic is just like all the other mmo developers rushing out there games to get return of investment.

It sucks not ONE company cares to do it RIGHT...

 

/sitting down waiting for 2009 while hopefully some good, FINISHED game will come out instead

I hate to say it, but he's right.

The WAR fanbois all laughed at AoC when it launched without advertised content.  Now WAR's doing the same thing.

I think the lesson to be learned is never trust an MMORPG company, be it Mythic or Funcom or Blizzard....  They're all liars and snake-oil salesmen.

Oy.

Any words yet on the BOOM comic promotion?

The OP broke the rules and got punished.  It's actually rather nice to see things working out they way they should.

Blizzard +1

Oyjord.

For those who know the WAR lore, any chance we could see a third faction entering the mix in an expansion, maybe?  I agree with all the DAoC'ers, a third faction really was crucial to the great RvR there.

Oy.

Where in the comic does it state exactly what the system reqs are?

Where in the link to BUY the comic does it state exactly what the system specs are?

Where in the link to buy the comic did it say to buy only 1 issue since multiple issues wouldn't help your chances?

Sorry, but this is clearly a scam.  Shame on EAMYTHIC, I expected more from them.  They've been SO tight lipped about this comic deal, because they know they f'ed it up and they're clearly embarrassed about it.

They actually gave a good reason why they keep the populations on each server so high. Its to expand server lifetime. They very well know people will drift off the game with time and that will lead ot empty landscapes in most games. Here instead it will lead to fewer instances.

I am beginning to seriously like the instance system. Its a great way to avoid irritating people and to avoid competing for camps and spawns. Most zones are big enough not to feel walled in, its similar to CoX.

/agreed

I'm think I may be in the minority, but this type of instancing is actually IMPROVING my gameplay.  I still play with whom I want, but I can more easily get to quest spawns, AND I get much better graphics.  What's the downside?

Oy.

Sorry, but the graphics are just identical to WoW's.  Through in the typical Asian grindfest, and I'll pass.  No thanks.  Been there, done that, countless times.

Wiccana is the unofficial RP server, and as such, has the best, most mature community of all the servers.

/bump past the whining teenagers

Just to add some balance to the whining babies on this board....

I've been playing non-stop since first hour of EA, and I still love AoC.  Sure it has a few bugs, but nothing game-stopping or deal-breaking.  Sure it needs more mid- and end-game content, but again, it's not game-breaking and easily fixable.  And yes, I have some mid-levels toon, a 60, a 52, and a bunch of 20somethings.

If you don't like the game, that's fine.  Go back to WoW or wait for WAR, either way I don't care one lick.  The game is highly populated with many servers, and there are more joining the game then leaving the game every day.

Note most people who state they are leaving are kids who can't afford to pay the $15/mo fee, and who are just playing with their free month.  To make themselves feel better about their lack of money, they bash the game so they feel like they're leaving bc of a poor game, when in fact it's a fun MMO which is well on the way to becoming one of the best in the industry.

Hopefully this will address the following PVP issues:

 

Right now pvp is kinda [MOD EDIT].  If you can't hide, you are basically bait for someone that can hide or you're just an idiot looking to get [MOD EDIT].  So far I would say the best class for PVP is ranger.   The reason being is because it can deal out shitloads of damage from long range and still has the ability to do it with stealth.  You can't beat the stun shot from stealth mode either. They also get medium armor and great HP/Stamina.

Assasin is probably second and Barbarian third.  I haven't played either but from what I can see on the battlefield is how I rate them. They are both good DD's in PVP.

Soldiers pretty much suck, but they can at least take some hits.  Conqueror (with the best DPS) can do some damage but all in all the tank class is a joke right now with the level cap at 13.  They aren't even worth killing if there are other classes around.  That's how pathetic they are.

If you play a mage class you will get owned.  Plain and simple.  Regardless if you are ToS you are going to get singled out and you will go down quick.  For the people reading this that disagree with me, you are playing with noobs.  (As a ranger) I can two time a mage class.  Healing is crap.  It does not do nearly enough for the amount of damage dished out at this level.

I can't speak for Herald of Xotli or Demonologist since I don't play them, but what I can say from what I see is that they are "ok" but Demonologist seems to be better, maybe even 4th on the list.

Necromancer = the suck.  Their pets do minimal damage and they have low HP so they can't take much damage.  A decent thing about them is they can hide.  I can, however, see this class being awesome later.  Also, their pets aren't half bad at keeping others from hiding because of the constant damage they do.

Lastly, CTF is redundant.  Most people that do CTF don't even give a shit about the flag.  There is rarely any team work involved and it's just a gank fest with the rogue classes waiting on someone to grab the flag and stab them in the back when they are going back to their base. 

One might also say team annihilation is a gank fest too but at least people attempt to knock out the others totem (usually) which can require teamwork.

I'm now a little stupider having read this post.
