I don't understand...

It's just a remake of FF2?

Down? What do you mean "down"??? I want to scale it UP, not down! That graphics is low enough. If you scale it down you can skip the game altogether...

 

down... pfsht... *mumbles to himself*...

Graphics scaling down is important, because graphics and lag are major reasons for the "failed" launches of WAR, AoC, V:SoH, EQ2, and just about every other mainstream p2p game to come out since WoW.

The graphics need to scale down to be playable on a low end machine so the game will have a market for WoW's customers and gamers in Asia and South America.

how "low end" are you refering to?

Since there's no official response, I guess it's hard to judge.  However a friend runs it on his dual 1.8GHz and GF7600

Does it run well?

my pc couldn't run that.

I don't own a NASA super computer.

Why wouldn't you want a hot chick without a brain?

If they have a brain, you have to listen to them babble.

What, are you emo or something?

i think the term WoW player is silly to make.  Basically you are asking if people can run this on a low end computer and that answer wont be available until the company itself releases the system requirements (usually after beta testing).

Right.

I'm asking for speculation.

Looking at the cell shaded graphics... and considering the scalability of CoX...

Do you think CO will be playable on a low end pc?

Will wow players be able to play CO?

CoX scales very well. I'm hoping CO does too.

I did not read the whole article because I don't have time... but i plan to soon.

I just want to say I am very excited for CO.

I didn't like TBC much either. It reminded me of Masters of the Universe, He-Man, Fantasy.

Lich King is alot better. It's darker. The armor designs are much better.

Strand of the Ancients is an awesome BG, because it has tanks to knock down doors.. I am a Warlock, and I ride passenger. It protects me from the Melee Train, and I defend the tank with dots and fear spams.

I haven't started arena yet, and they say Locks are weak atm, but I am having fun and kicking ass so far.

There is good RMT and bad RMT.  Nearly every game (I'm sure there are a few exceptions) uses mostly bad RMT.  Examples of good RMT:

1.  Character customes that don't effect your stats.

2.  Pets that don't have any effect on gameplay.

3.  Minigames that have no effect on gameplay.

4.  Mounts.  They should be the same speed or slightly faster than mounts you can obtain in game with a level requirement if your game has one on mounts.  The mounts obtainable in game should have the same level requirement.

5.  Cosmetic items and potions that alter your appearance.  Haircuts, gender change, new faces, etc.

Also some RMT that might be okay:

1.  Skill resets and similar convenience items.  A free skill reset should be offered at least once though if this is the case.  This isn't necessary to get ahead, but can help players who may have made a mistake.  These items should be tradeable too so players can obtain them without using real life money.

2.  Faster travel.  It really depends how much faster it's going to be.  If players who don't have it are going to have to run around for hours then no.  If it adds a second bind point and travelling from one place to another isn't that long anyway, then it should be fine.

3.  Customes, pets, mounts, and cosmetic items that give minor stat boosts.  Something that really shouldn't be noticable.

Awful RMT (and the most common):

1.  Random boxes that might have a rare item you want but usually give crap.

2.  Any potions that give you major boosts:  Experience, stats, gold, etc.

3.  Powerful gear

4.  Upgrade items so you can get much more powerful gear.  (This is even worse than #3)

5.  Access to gameplay that you can only get through RMT.

6.  Combat pets

7.  Access to characters/classes you normally won't get.  (Especially when these classes are more powerful than the non-RMT ones).

Or anything that gives a huge advantage to a player over another who uses no RMT.

You made a huge post about what is good vs bad RMT.

Please provide a list of games that have "good RMT".

Are any of those games good? If so, please list them.

I've been noticing a lot of the featured articles on this site claim that RMT is the future of MMO's.

Why the sudden onslaught of pro-RMT propaganda?

You never mentioned pvp in this game.

You never even used the word "pvp".

Is pvp in this game?

It would pretty much look like WotLK patch 3.1 ..............

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Omg I was seriously cracking up when I read that... priceless.

 

Anyway, I would hope the dominant gene's were UO's if they were to produce a bastard child. Preferably, the only thing I would like to see from WoW would be the world and avatar control, and I'd like to see the terribly linear and far too rigid classes, along with the horrifically boring and repetitive quest grind left behind. You can also leave the "fight in the box" arenas out as well.

Yeah, only thing I'd want from WoW is the open world.

I agree with you for the most part, but dueling had a place in UO.

There was tons of 2v2 and 3v3  arena matches ran by players.

Arena would absolutely have a place in the game, it just shouldn't be the focus of pvp.

Okay, I'm going to lay out a scenario, without getting too wordy. Hopefully my ideas will be communicated clearly enough without so many words, since I know people hate long posts.

What if WoW was designed as a PvP game from the ground up?

The Sides:

Natives of Azeroth: Elves, Humans, Gnomes, Dwarves

Burning Legion: Orcs, Undead, Humans

The Classes: (Use Iconic Classes from lore)

Natives of Azeroth:

Night Elves: Ranger, Sentinel, Druid, Priest

High Elves: Mage, Priest and Spell Breaker

Humans: Paladin, Priest, Soldier, Mage

Dwarf: Paladin, Priest, (Need ideas)

Gnome: (Need Ideas)

Burning Legion:

Orcs: Berserker, Shaman, Warlock

Undead: Liche, Warrior, Shade

Human: Necromancer, Death Knight, Cultist

The Setting:

* Would take place in the W1-3 timeline, an alternate timeline, or afterwards with some explanation for having some of these races and classes still around.

* Future Expansions would release new continents, objectives, and enemies to kill. They'd also release new classes and races if the lore has them.

* There would be world faction versus faction PvP. (There could even be a third faction to make things interesting. Perhaps the third faction could be a criminal element with Rogues and etc. as classes.)

* While there'd still be PvE areas to do instances in, raid in, and so on, there'd also be PvP raids on enemy NPC leaders. You'd also be able to take and secure battle objectives and keeps.

 

Ideas? Thoughts?

(Keep in mind that this is a short version of what's in my head.)

 

 

 

I would be happy with a Battleground Expansion, and Rated Battlegrounds.

Guild Vs Guild pvp.

UO and WoW couldn't have a baby because WoW players are not breeders.

 

Could have fooled me.  They have to be multiplying like rabbits (or cockroaches).  How else do you hold the majority of the MMO player population?

That's actually true.

I've noticed that alot of the kiddies playing WoW also have parents playing WoW.

I would love to play UO in WoW's world, with UO's replaceable weapons and skill development.

Could you imagine raiding Onyxia for enough high quality leather to make LOTS of armor?

No archetypes. Just pick powers.

Changing Power Graphics to fit you.

Creating your own Arch Nemesis to play against in the story.

It's basically CoH 2. More of the good stuff, and the good stuff is better.

That's what I've gathered.

I just wish it had Cops'n'Robbers pvp.

my imagination still runs on a 386, so my PC looks far better than the muddy can-only-imagine-one-object-at-a-time graphics in my head.

That's pretty funny.

What would it look like?

You of course realize 15 bucks a month is 50 cents a day,,umm i am pretty sure even a paper route can afford 50 cents a day.When you think about it,the developers bandwidth alone,would barely be covered by 50 cents a day.

 

Some people have no job so 50 cents a day would be a luxury for them.

Get a quarter off 2 random strangers every day, and you've got your MMO paid.

It must suck to live in Europe.  Maybe you should contact your representative and tell them to lower your taxes.
