You dont understand how mmos work, you dont understand how companies market mmos, you dont understand that they want your money thats it. Sure, every game has pve and pvp, but you CANNOT cater to both and not have one complain.

Have either of you played the game recently? obviously not.

Log in and find out^^^^^^^^^^

You think daoc is a raid game? I was NOT FORCED TO RAID TO COMPETE. I never killed the dragon for loot, look at me i can still compete and kill people that did go on the raids. the raids are optional, Play classic if you dont like to do mls. or buy them with BPs you gimp. and if your to gimp to afford items using bps, go out and kill someone. not my fault you suck

Listen, if you think its not going to be raid based fine buy it and waste your time and money and find out for yourself and then regret it. Im tired of trying to convince you, WHY WOULDNT EA TRY TO MAKE A COPY OF WOW. tell me that.

How can you even say this game looks ANYTHING like daoc. Daoc didnt have a cast bar why does warhammer? wtf this game is nothing like daoc, dont even put it int he same sentence as daoc.

Just because the company says something doesnt mean thats how its going to be, thats like saying the presidential candidates are going to do everything they say they are going to do.

EVERY new MMORPG made by a company that has a name WILL be raid based and gear based. How many games will be made before people finally understand this. Let me ask you this..  Have there been any successful mmorpg (200K+ population) that have come out after World of Warcraft that have NOT been raid based?

This topic is a good way to tell if funcom is interested in making money or making a game that is quality.. If they remove the nudity and all that, they are in it for the money, as more younger people will play. if they leave it in, they might actually be [trying] to make a game for the people.

Well i guess its a good thing it wont have alot of people then huh? (sarcasm..i think)

^^^ Brilliant exactly my point.

I dont get your guild ^^^ you guys just break into gaming or what? AoC looks good on the outside but theres just no way they can balance raid gear and pvp gear im sorry. go ahead and tell me im wrong, buy the game play it and have fun.

I agree with original poster. All mmos that have a subscription of more than like 100,000 are all the same... copies of world of warcraft. I cant wait for the day people realize this. But until then, as long as the main companies keep releasing those types of games the people will keep buying them, goodfor the companies in the short run, bad for everyone in the long run.

Go ahead and think what you want. Think about it. lets say 100,000 people get the max level and get the pvp gear,  think they will be able to compete with the people who spend hours raiding? theres no way funcom will be able to cater to both and make them balanced. The people who raid will outnumber those who pvp and complain that they are spending hours raiding for gear that is equal. Then funcom will have to upgrade the raid gear or decrease pvp gear. The people who raid will not raid all day, they will still pvp.....

You'll need at least 30 members in your guild to create a city.

That sucks

There will be more than 20 raid encounters at launch, designed for 24-player groups, and they're going to last between two and three hours on average. It's also foreseen that you'll probably make several attempts before you manage to defeat a raid mission the first time. There are essentially eight dungeons in the game, divided into three tiers. At the first tier there are three dungeons, and you must defeat any one of these to advance to the three second-tier dungeons. You must defeat all three of these in order to advance to the third and final tier.

Ahahahaha......haha sorry just had to laugh at that... all the people saying its not going to be a raiding game..

If you read the comments in on that report, theres a guy that says something like my 3 year WoW career will end with this game...i wonder why?

Why do people get all excited about city sieges? its not like AoC will be the first to have it............im confused

Implode

Guess people would be thankfull if you guys tried to state why play a game instead of pointing out your prejudices and hatred towards one or another. Unless you've tested the game yourselves all you can talk about is at the looks and features at this moment, but i don't  see people interested in knowing that you would play aion cause aoc sucks, or you would play aoc cause aion sucks...guess they want to hear what has attracted you from those games.

Thats simple, If you want something different try Aion, If you want more of the same try AoC.

Im not saying that Aion is better than AoC, im just saying that major mmo companies will try to copy each others success, they only care about taking your money and thats it- With a company that hasnt released a major mmo before, maybe just maybe they will have different stuff in their mmos.

Hahah thats a good one ^^^ . Go ahead and waste your money, no use in trying to convince someone whos already made up their mind, but look back on this and remember i told you so.

Did you not see the statement released where it said something like this "Raiding will be a big part of endgame. Raids will consist of 24 people (i think it was 24).

Something like that.........so........have fun "pvping". Ill look for the info.

Will players need to raid over and over again to get the best items in the game? Or will players be able to find particular pieces by looking elsewhere?

Thomas: Players will be able to get comparative equipment from different sources. Raiders, crafters, and casual players should all be able to get decent items for their level. The raid instances will be, more or less, the type of loot you’d see from other games.

Does that sound familiar at all? (WoW!) And this is where you post "Its going to be equal! and theres when i post...You really think they can balance that? After all there will be more raiders than pvpers...always is..

How about this one?

Thomas: If you go into raiding, you will get equipment that is good for your class for raiding. If you go into PvP, you will get loot that is good for you in PvP. Each piece obviously carries bonuses with it into each field, but these pieces are specifically made for either PvP or raids.

 This is exactly like wow 100%....You raid a little but until you have your full set of gear so you can get +5 to bow...then you pvp for a month.....then an expansion is released....oh no i gotta get a new set of gear in order to compete... so you raid for 3 more months and pvp for another month then uh oh... another set of gear!. they will force you to raid in order to compete. My point is... Raid gear will be better then pvp gear. Pvp gear will get outdated so fast.

Id go for Aion, AoC is going to be another grind fest and end game raiding game. Aion isnt going to be like that.

Free style pvp in the open(mordred) or RvrR(daoc style)

ITS ALL IN THE GAME. SOME GAMES REQUIRE YOU TO BE FAST, WHILE OTHERS DONT
