one word: EPIC.

Though, as others have said, too bad this is not actual gameplay and the real gameplay will not look or feel anything like this.

But, again, that cinematic trailer was EPIC!

They have announced "active blocking" so that you will block with your shield so long as you hold down the skill button making blocking a very tacticle choice.

So, with the lack of focus on organized groups for world pve do you think GW2 will implement in-game voice chat to facilitate communication between people participating in events?

I could see some possibility of griefing this system, but the benefits might out weigh the negatives.

First off, this game sounds amazing but I can't quite wrap my head around some things:

1. As a casual player, if I log out for a few days while inside a town, and while I was away those centaurs overrun the town, what happens when I log back in?

2. Again, as a casual player, if I put an hour of time into a Dynamic Event but one of the event steps is not completed when I log, do I still get those rewards? Do I get them when I log back in?

3. What about gear/weapons? If 100 ppl complete a chain that takes out the Dredge King will he drop "epic" gear? Does everybody get said "epic" gear? What about normal drops from trash mobs, will there be a loot bag for the entire 100 ppl?

4. How do we know the steps in an event chain? Quest tracker? Journal? How do we know when we have completed a certain event? Do we get gear rewards from completeing events? What about exp or gold from saving a town?

5. I wonder how the Dynamic Scaling occurs. If a party of 4 is doing an event and suddenly 20 other players camp right outside our battle (close enough to do something, but purposly not entering the battle), will my event scale to match those extra players when they want to take no part in our battle, thus making it impossible for my party of 4?

I am cautiously optomistic. So far this game sounds very impressive, but it is still a long way aways from release and a lot can change.

I tend to prefer more classes than less as I like to play as a Hybrid instead of a Core class. The core classes bore me.

I am not much of a Rogue guy, so this does not provide too much excitement.

What I want is a non Jedi Melee class.

You can try The Chronicles of Spellborn. You have to actively aim your swings to hit your target. Very fun combat. And its free right now.

When I was looking up more info on Eye of the North I stumbled upon this quote:

"You Can Take It with You—Your achievements, trophies, and titles from Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North will not be forgotten. Your Hall of Monuments will preserve them until your descendants can claim them in Guild Wars 2."

Got my key, Thanks! I have been wanting to try out Aion.

Yes, they should all come over to Spellborn!

Thank you, I went to the official darkfall site, and the gallery here but couldn't find any.

Thank you again.

Hello, I have not been following Darkfall very closely but with the release expected very soon I had a question:

Are there any picts with the HUD shown? Hotbars, inventories, character pages?

Thanks  

Ya, if anybody doesn't want their beta key, please pass it my way. I am extremely excited about this game and have been following it for a couple of years.

This is awesome news! I can't wait to play!

Very cool idea about cloning the servers.

I just want to say that I played WoW for about a week, so lets get this out of the way.

When I bought AoC I bought it for the expansive PvP combat: Seige Battles, Epic PvP. When there actually wasn't any of this I was sad , but they kept telling me that it would come in the next update... well not actually this next update... ohh wait lets try a Seige Battle...and there was too many people so the game crashed... well not in this update either... well I quit.

I got tierd, so I quit, easy as pie. Am I sad, yes. But now I am not angry everytime they promise to bring specific, documented, game-making, content, and don't deliver.

I understand the concern, but it comes right back to my question of who else was going to do it? It had to be someone that needed what the Spellborn developers were selling with the money to foot the bills and the desire to do so.  I think we could safely rule out Blizz, Sony, Turbine, Funcom, EA/Mythic and their associated entities,  so who would you have liked to see them partner with?

You're right, in that, there really were not many options for TCoS. In an ideal world I would have liked a company with little or no reputation to get in the way of the game itself.

But my only real concern with Acclaim publishing the game is that all their  current MMO's are item mall funded. I dispise item mall games. Especially with Spellborn, where their motto is "What Lies Hidden, Must be Found" an item mall would just ruin the game, in my mind.

Open Beta should mean that the NDA is lifted, but you will have to wait for Funcom to make that announcement.

what a crock of shit, you have to be a paying member to Fileplanet to get a key...

I have a free account and no access to a key...
