Darn I was really hoping to hear something really BIG at BLIZZ CON

Yes, yes WOW is the king blah blah blah!!!  I'm not sure about anyone else but I was waiting to hear the big news about a new MMO that they are working on.  WHERE is that news at!?

I feel that BLIZZ CON was ok but I really wanted to find who the new KING was going to be.

I guess the new KING will be BIOWARES MMO till BLIZZARD new MMO comes out to get back the crown.

NO!!!!!!! I hope comes out soon.

May 26!!!!!! is that the date when the game is coming out!  Is that true?

LOL!!! How long have you worked for the company? 

I'm glad that you are happy with your choice in this game.

Not sold yet on this game.  I'm going to give time to really see.

I was just wondering if anyone has been emailed thier Beta key yet or has started playing the game or started to download the client yet?

Thanks

I'm still playing........

Yes i'm still having fun with the game.  I would say it took me awhile to find a class that I really enjoy playing with.  So I jumped around form class to class.

I have a Assassin lvl 26, DT lvl 17, Nerco lvl 35, and TOS lvl 42.  I'm really like my TOS so I plan to lvl him all the way to 80.

I do think that this game will get better with time.

Will I drop this game when Warhammer comes out?

yes......

LOL!!! is this a joke? 

No....wait its true...LOL what joke.....lets paint our armor? HA HA HA I'm glad I left.  What are the Devs doing over there?

With all the update that Funcom is doing I bet you will be back soon.

Do you think that the game will come out with alot stuff unfinished?

 

yes.  of course it will.  On the bright side, they seem to be TELLING us what will be unfinished.

 

They wanted orcs to grow as they leveld up, and dwarfs to get longer beards.  They have said that while they still want that feature, it won't make it in at launch.  thats one example of something unfinished.  But as long as the core features are there it should be fine.

SEE right there...... a company that tell the buyer whats really going on so he or she won't feel cheated.  Right there make me want to go right now and put money down on preorder .

some nice screen shots.  Did you get any cool gear?

WOW!!! This game sounds very good so far.  Do you think that the game will have a better turn out than AOC?

What i'm worried about is the lvl 40 cap in the game.

Is the lvl cap still lvl 40 or did it change?

I feel that alot of people are going to reach the cap in a matter of 2 weeks if not sooner and then what do they do? 

I tell you what they are going to do and that is running around killing the weaker toons just for fun.

Does anyone find this a problem about the lvl cap at 40?

thanks,

How long have you been following WAR? Why not level 40? They have said that the time to get to level 40 is around 3 months,if you play hard around 2 months.

Are you perhaps thinking about WOW and how long that takes to level or even AOC which is just a joke? This game is RVR and to be strong in that you need to know your toon,not just level as quick as possible.

From you comment about ganking low levels i can see you are new to WAR. Go study the chicken, that`s the only hint i am going to give you.

 

I read very little about the game. I can tell you from what I read...... I like.  What is the Chicken?  Please give another hint.

FIrst of all there is system in place preventing lowbies from being ganked by higher lvl players, something whereby the higher player becomes literally a chicken when entering a lowbie zone.

Second of all, just because the lvl cap is 40 doesnt mean it will take less time than any other MMO, they can easily just stretch it out.

that's good to hear about the higher toon not ganking the lower toons.

thanks for the info.

Can someone please tell me what was promised to be in the game that not in there right now? 

I didn't read much on the game before I got it.  Also it looks like they have alot of things planed for the game.

For me i needed something new other than playing WOW.  AOC is a fun game, I will have to tell you all that I'm just waiting to play WAR and AOC is just keeping me warm till WAR comes out.

Bugs aren't the problem.

The problem is the design philosophy behind AoC and, let's be honest, the lack of design philosophy.

You see, AoC is the perfect example of everything that has gone wrong with MMORPGs in the past 10 years. It is extremely linear, the RPG mechanics are extremely badly thought out (if at all) and the core gameplay design is on the level "wouldn't it be nice if..."

 

 

That's pretty funny cause I look at it that it hit all the right avenues.   Granted I'm only a level 29 Guardian, with 4 additional toons ranging in level 4 to level 13, but these are my views.  Morale of the story if you don't want to read below is that give the game a chance, get used to it, you may be shocked you enjoy it.

Combat:

The mechanics here are great, the fact that I don't have to just stand there and auto-attack and hit depending on my weapon speed actually make the game more interactive.  If I'm not hitting my attack keys, I'm not attacking.  If I'm not hitting my combo's I'm not doing any more damage than hitting normally.  If I'm not changing my attack location because of where the mob is protecting himself, I'm not getting off my maximum damage.  Casting is pretty interesting too as there are various casts and almost all classes have some sort of melee attack as well so when something is so close you don't have to rely on your cast timers.

Questing:

I did agree with your post that they could of had a better cause/effect relationship with the options you pick with your interaction with the NPCs handing out quests.  But the mechanics are there for this to become a future item.  Maybe even the way you are perceived to the other NPCs, a bitch or a nice gal.  Who knows, it may happen.  But overall, the questing is done very well.  The experience from questing works out fluidly, the quests roll with story lines.  Some gathering quests are too easy with the items just out in the open with no NPC challenge to pick them up.

Gathering:

When I first picked up the gathering quests, I thought this method is horrible.  But know that I have completed 3 of the 6, I find it pretty decent as it flows with the quests I'm doing.  Its kind of hard to just go 'gathering' and it is kind of a waste of time to do so as well.  Might as well go knock out the quests and when you come across a node to farm go for it!

Feat Trees:

I didn't understand them at first and now that I do, I'm efficiently placing feat points.

My complaints:

- The user interface needs more customization

- No DX10 support yet, and I'm really looking forward to it

My highlights:

- Decapitations/fatalities and the effects it has on the toon to help you keep going, chain kills also are awesome to get.

Recommendations:

Get this game, give it a whirl, get out of the city of Tortage and you will see your whole game change.

I agree with you........ give the game a try if you can.
 

So what I'm seeing is that Funcom and TR game that started out strong are doomed to fail because of unfinished game?

I do feel that TR is going to end up free to play.

I still don't feel that way about AOC.  The reason because of patches to make it right.

Do you think that it will be the same way for Warhammer?

While there is certainly a good bit of hate in the MMORPG.com forums in general.  When we specifically consider the AoC forums people are often confusing vehemence or just even perfectly acceptable negative comments for hate.

 

To be sure there are haters here,  but I think there were more haters than in the TR forums when TR released.  Certainly many of the naysayers had far less in the way of rational criticism for TR than there is for AoC.  I did Beta for TR and did not buy because of some of the RPG problems I saw with classes etc.  So I am by no means a fanboy of that game.  And TR got hated on very badly.

 

But what strikes me about TR versus AoC is that both had decent releases bug wise.  And both got trashed for lack of high level content.  TR had a good bit of hype about being revolutionary, but I think for the most part TR was pretty honest about what was in the game and what the game would be I cannot say the same for AoC.

 

TR certainly lacked some polish but the game pretty much what they described.  People may have wanted other things but I do not recall anything major that was hyped up in one way or another that was not in the release.  Some people hated instancing other people wanted better classes or more content etc.

 

But there is a lot of vehemence because there are been so much hype, misrepresentations, and a lot of fanboys who don't listen and try to shout everything negative down.

 

The fact is there is ugly side to AoC in many aspects and there has been a concerted effort to downplay these and many posters are responding to that.  I personally hope AoC does not fail and have no real hate for the game, but I do think Funcom has been dishonest with its marketing and practices concerning the game over the last year or so now that I know what is truly in the game.

 

I neither respect nor trust Funcom, but I do not hate them or their game.

Well, you probably like TR, right?

See, I never got into TR, but I never understood why so many people  just wanted to see TR fail...and it failed.

The ugly side of AoC is not bigger than TR, Lotro or EQ2 at the release.

It is easier to blame the hype or the company of a game you dont play, but even if you get only TR as an example you would realize how mmo communites just seems to desire the fall of some games.

When a MMO has an issue the voice of the community can fix this issue and help the game company to improve the game, as in MMOs the vision of the player also means something.

I will give you a good example, see EQ2 now , it is a great game with  really good content, the content updates are based on what the game community want, but you always see people that doenst ( and never will ) play the game saying here how garbage some updates are...

The issues of a game only matter for people that play the game or will play the game, really, if you dont like the game design of TR, AoC or any game, just let it go, pure negative and hate messages of people that doesnt like the game has no value and will not bring anything productive.

This kind of attitude is hurting games and developers.

See, I dont like and I will never play TR or WoW, there is NO reason for me to just express 300 times I dont like and I dont play these games for these games communities.

 

...

Thank you for  post
 

I like TR at first then I saw the many flaws and the DEVs not keeping thier word.  So I left the game.   I dislike alot when ppl say one thing and do another.
