NDA is now just for the sake of it.  Open beta 1 week away and game has gone gold.  Maybe I should just start spilling the cold hard truths right now.

We all have the same internet as you friend, you think we don't know how to find beta video's over the last year.  Think we don't know people in cb atm? We know just as much if not more than you.  You can try to feed negative propaganda about this game, but it is all lies.  The few con's vs the many pro's of this game are easily overlooked.  I have never played a MMO that has every feature I want.

 

I go in with the mindset that it will be it's own game.  Im not looking for an xyz mmo killer, im looking for a refreshing change which is just what this brings.

 

Hahah propaganda.  Im in beta so i know what state its actually in.  If you knew anything you wouldnt even reply like that.  Tell me what exactly do u know from youtube and this site?  My dear sir you know absolutley jack crap.  So please go back to youtube and see the lol 800x600 resolution videos u see there and then when u see something proper come back to me.

 

thank you.

what does the resolution of videos on an online site have to do with anything?

 

Are you seriuos???  It was sarcasm. 

Yes, I was serious. Also, who around here has been appointing people to positions of authority? By that I mean why does he have to report to you when he finds something "proper" by you?

He is talking about the closed general beta, not the PvP event.

 

For the love of sweet mighty zeus, none of that is in Genral or any other magical game build, or fantasy build you think they have.  Spellweaving and massive pvp will come 2-3 months after launch.

Where exactly did I say that these are in the general beta? Please don't put words on my mouth. And do keep your assumptions for yourself. You assume the things that are not available won't be available at launch. You may be right, but you also may be wrong. It's just a prediction and nothing more than that.

 

The OP mistook what the developer said about features missing from the PvP event as features missing from the GB. Some are missing from both. The issues he described and I commented on may have been in the PvP even but are not ... this is pointless. Only the build number can clarify this.

We will see, not saying anymore.  I 100% give you my bank of england bonds this will not be in at launch.  nor will siege pvp, but hey trying to convince fanbois is like getting water out of a stone.

So what your saying is that they are releasing a game of PvP mini games?

 

No it is not the final build, and contrary to what some people say game has Spellweaving and some other stuff that werent introduced and that was OFFICIALLY stated by a developer on Gamespot forums.

I must have misunderstood somthing about this comment from the leading developer then

 

 We are working hard on the features we haven't shown off in beta, features we have held back on purpose to have some new revelations at launch. Among these are spellweaving, massive PVP, and DirectX 10 [graphics]. In addition to this, the classes are getting their final overhauls before launch.

Again -based on the size of the PVP weekend client it had alot more than just the PVP minigame compact into it.  Acording to the timetable the Gold version should be out now for burning and distrebution for Pre-order.  So I would say with 99% certainty that the huge package we downloaded was the gold version.  The dev was talking about 15 gb gold edition if I remember correctly.

 

Been saying it for ages now.  Shame the fanbois cant see past their own arses.

kinda funny how these are almost all the same things we were arguing about before Vanguard came out and who was right in the end?

In vanguard guilds couldn't build their own cities, and siege fortresses and such.

 

Vanguard wasn't a pvp game at all. So I don't know how you can compare them

 

So your saying Aoc is a pvp game?? lol how disappointed you shall be.  funny how people have complained so much about wows not real pvp and its instanced, yet funcom do exactly the same thing and its next gem pvp rofl.  FFA will be huge mindless grifing galore, ate least in wow its not FFA and it makes sense because its 2 opposing factions and it fitted in with the story line.  In this its just mindless.  Funcom knew many months ago their pvp systems didn't work, so they thought what can we do to cover it up, oh yes lets put a FFA server in.

Sieging and fortresses will not be in at launch, same with blood money and drunken brawling, they have totally minimised the pvp to FFA server and pvp instanced games, heaven knows what PvP WILL BE LIKE in BK.  Funny how none remembers bloody money or drunken brwaling, very selective memory peopel have here.  So much for the next all conquering pvp game.  Mark my words the FFA servers will die very very fast and the population will be very low.

Seriously people, this game has gone GOLD,  now you will now see how bad the ACTUAL game is and not the tech test pvp weekend they had, there is no miracle internal version of the game.    This game will deliver on Vanguard proportions, so much for next gen mmo.  There is absolutely nothing next gen about this game whatsoever.

Beta was played on a 2month old client, and even if it was played on the actual client they have 1month to improve some stuff. If this game launches tomorrow, It will be NOWHERE near VG launch. The question isnt if this game is going to flop, It's wether it will be acceptable, good, or excellent.

Here is a newsflash beta is played on the actual version and I mean general not setup Tect test which is was the same as the pvp weekend.  There is nothing they can change and improve now till rlease, bacuse you know why?  ITS GONE GOLD.

While your analogy may be true, it is also useless because it does not change the fact that we were playing the older build.

there is no secret build or miracle patch. what you played is just like it going to be on release since the game went gold today. however you can bet there will be patching on release day to further optimize the game and what not.

 

There is no 'miracle' patch?

Yet they will patch on launch day you think?

 

Well if the game went gold already, I think once people see the full game they will be very very dissapointed.  Abit like buying the vanguard box and after playing you really find out the doomsayers were right.

Well the devs said if i remember correctly, its not something they want to occur all the time, they want it to be something special so my guess is like once every 2-3 months, maybe even more.

2a) WoW has a very simple combat model.  This is true of EQ as well and since WoW is a copy of EQ that is not surprising.  The entier game is a very simple equation of armor, staight up % damage mitigation + healing versus damage.  The healing itself is extremely simple consistong mostly of only Heal over time or straight up static numbers.  It is a very simple equation really.

Apparently you've never used WoW Web Stats.  I don't think anyone who has actually seen the number of things going on literally at the exact same moment in time could make this statement.

 

Take one of my recent trips thru Kara for instance.  Using WoW Web stats you can see exactly all what is going on in the entire raid.  There were literally hundreds of different types of attacks.  There were 52 different types of heals applied during the run.   There were hundreds of different buffs and debuffs applied both by the members of the raid and the mobs that were fought.  A Very simple equation huh?  That's a completely ridiculous statement.  Don't believe me, go view some instance runs on WoW Web stats yourself.  Dig down deep into the raid and don't just look at the first page.  Look at the abilities used.  Browse the log file and use the filter option to filter out the information.  Look at the hit/miss/crit percentages for just about every type of skill and their average damage amount, min and max amounts.  Every single thing in that log is effected by things such as armor, resistances, resilience, hit chance, crit chance etc.  The sheer volume of complex calculations to determine all that goes on in a fraction of a second are astounding.  Here's a couple seconds from the log file from a recent Moroes attempt:
