Anyone taking theese forums seriously, is a sad person

+1..

The internet in itself is not to be taken too seriously.. We are all anonymous pricks and can be at anytime as long as there are no real consequences and repercussions.

I'll never understand why you people care so much about numbers of accounts or people playing certain games...

Here's my go at this:

COMBAT

I can see how being used to auto-attack would make combat a bit annoying, and I know in the initial zone it's much harder for ranged users since everything charges you melee, but try being melee when you have ranged MOBs giving you the run around and aggroing everything in sight :P. I personally like the FPS-style, helps me feel like I have more of an active role in combat, and as for tactics I have two full quickslots with purchased abilities/mutations and generally use them consistantly(L20 BTW). Technically, with 45 levels currently capped for open beta I guess you could say I'm mid-level, but I hear they are expecting 150... Same basic principle for every MMO, combat evolves in complexity with the leveling, until you reach dungeon raiding then it goes south lol.

CRAFTING

I really like crafting, it's got that nice middle ground between luck and work when it comes to the mats. Certain materials are fairly easy to get if you put in the time, while others are much harder to come by if you're distinctively searching for them, but so far nothing so completely rare has been required of me, so crafting seems more like a true game mechanic(which it is) rather than just a side gimmick. I'd like their to be a bit more to customization or quality level, something to give the dedicated crafters a bigger edge in the market, and my hope is something like that may come later.

GRAPHICS

Reminds me of SWG, even the movements, collision is a good bit better though. The thing is though, maybe it's being so old school but as long as it's not completely gimp, graphics have never really taken away my ability to enjoy the gameplay. Don't get me wrong though, I love graphics, got SLI 260s to back me up on that. Wish it was better, but this isn't Sony or Blizzard we are talking about, resources and capabilities go as far as the dollar will take it.

BUGS/OPTIMIZATION issues

Ya there are alot of them, having been there for as many MMO releases as I have though I've kinda become numb to it. I hope they don't take too long to get the stuff fleshed out after release.

OVERALL

I like it, I've preordered it. Been a while since I enjoyed an MMO this much. True there is alot of stuff that needs to be fixed, and I think alot of potential for content that I hope they can manage to get out there before too long, but really it's on standard for most MMOs in terms of completeness at release. People say I should expect better, but why should I expect more from an indy company than I would get from the big dogs? Is that too logical of a way to think about it, or am I just an old fashioned chump? :P. Who knows.

As an afterthought, I only came into Open Beta because I had nothing else to do, truthfully I've been tracking Mortal Online for awhile and already have a pre-order. So far though, it looks like I've already found what I'm going to be playing for a good time to come.

Hear'Hear!

Sadly, I must agree that I will not be buying this game. Before closed beta, I was the biggest fangrrl for FE. The concept was amazing, and having 6 factions is a stroke of genius. But where were the factions? You can't start working on joining one until tier 2, which is level 15 or so. Never got there. Melee combat was doable, but using a rifle meant you died as soon as anything touched you. I liked the real-time crafting, but again the execution was less than the concept. And of course the graphics are sub par, and the look of an MMO, where I will be spending, presumably, a large amount of time, are very important to me. I wanted to love FE, especially from a RP standpoint, the idea of 6 factions still makes me excited, but execution wasn't there. Hope FE finds a playerbase tho, I wish it luck. 

 

I really hate when mmorpgs put alot of instancing in their mmorpgs, to me it breaks the whole feeling of a game world.

 

THIS.... Nothing worst than having dreaded loading screens every time you enter or exit a building or small area... Lets not even talk about zone "limits" where more copies of the same zone have to be made to hold the games population like everquest 2 and Champions (severe case there)..

I prefer my world to appear to be seamless even if its not like Vanguard and EvE.

is this another deathmatch game being pawned off as an mmorpg like crime craft?

sigh..

Just a quick note on the coyotes...again

Mobs will attack mechanical vehicles also. They aren't scaving they just do that.

Other games like...Ryzom actually have mobs wandering and feeding on each other.

So I resent the implication this game has anything like that.

 

They do not roam as much as in Ryzom but they do attack each other. Mutants/Zombies often attack nearby wildlife like Wolves and Spiders.

To the people saying the game has 90's graphics: Get your facts straight, you just sound so amazingly stupid saying that. If anything i would say the enginge is on par with engines developed around 2004-2005 with plenty of improvements.

 

agreed.. You dont have to like the graphics, but to say that they are 90's is just being ignorant. We all know what everquest pre-luclin looked like and if you can't tell a difference you may need your eyes checked.

They are not the absolute best graphics but they do get the job done.

I enjoyed it and will be there to see open beta away. I will also be there on launch when things get for real as well.. I like the open world feel.. Not a big giant glob of instances like some other games I will not speak of, but I am happy to see that this indie company came out of nowhere to make such a immersive world.

Using the WoW fanboi attack are we now? For the note I believe this is bullshit, it has nothing to do with WoW, Lotro or any other games, its simply bad. The game mechanics are fucked up. As an ex EvE player its a fucking insult comparing it to FE, why? Because EvE mechanics are fuckin great! Sure you might say EvE has boring combat etc but the ships act like space ships would in the sense of them turning accelerating and so forth, FE does not so dont you fuckin dare go WoW fanboy on me.

If youd read the thread you wouldve known this has nothing to do with theme park vs sandbox. I dont give a shit wether you like this game or that one, if you like FE or WoW but to say that people who dislike this game are pure bread RPG fans, or WoW fanbois is fucking pathetic. I can think of several things you might like about this game, the game mechanics however its not one of them, they fucked up the most important thing in a game and it will never recover. If you like it, good for you I didnt.

 

Well the tone of this post and all the others by you in this thread simply reinforces my view that you just because you dont like it, it goes over your head that other people might. I have news for you, there are plenty that do.  We know it has lots of faults technically but  IT DOESN'T MATTER because we can overlook them and still enjoy the stuff that does work.

So in conclusion I suppose the most apt thing to say would be the usual  "if you don't like it, don't come crying here, go back to WoW" or more likely, another free beta to add to your growing list of games played.

 

Thats the one thing I don't get about these forums. People will play a game, decide they don't like it and come on here to sound the alarm and rally the troops on some kind of great crusade against a product as if they have the power to sway humanity. No matter how punctual or how many big words you use, people are going to play what they want and that's what it all boils down to...

Throw away your cardboard sign and put your clothes back on, not everyone is wanting to follow you..

Greenion vs fallen earth round 3?

This guy is serious about his arguments on this site... I'll probably recieve a swift response to this pretty soon, hopefully not too harsh since he's a well establish hardcore pvper and stuff.. Those guys are scary... Ever seen the vocabulary on those guys? Phew!

I find the game nice.. I'm not going to get on here and draw swords to fight over my opinion, but I will say that the graphics aren't ANY worst than any other indie project I have played and the games mechanics are just right for what they do and are for. I think any fan of pre-NGE SWG and Anarchy Online would enjoy this game and look past its current beta flaws (like bugs and lag litches) and find a pretty decent game underneath.

Just saying.. So no need to go through and sniff my post word for word looking for arguments....

I would type out a long post as to why i disagree, but I'm about to go play again.. hehe..

Heh.. Imagine the crime rate if the internet wasn't completely anonymous... Less asshats maybe but total chaos.... lol...

This is looking to be my game for a while.. The combat, the world , the setting, the skills... When I first played anarchy online I got that same great feeling that I get from this game or individuality. And this is beyond cosmetics by a mile. Its a great game and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

The game is okay, but its not for me.. I thought I would like it but, I just cant find a comfortable way to play this game at its pace with a mouse and keyboard setup.. Perhaps if they added something like TCoS where you can highlight and select a skill using the mouse wheel while aiming.. I dunno, I just dont like it.. time to check out Fallen Earth...

sounds like a post apoc darkfall... amirite?

if this was launch i would agree.. but its a beta and everything you do is getting wiped sooo... download the fileplanet "fix" (lol) and play till those headstart days THEN stat complaining..

Open beta starts today.. If you can get a key, try for yourselves..

So, I have been seeing an insane amount of hype for this game all over this forum for quite a while now.  This game seems to already be a huge success in Asia and is gearing up for the same in the west. I looked at their website to see what all of the ruckus was about, but from looking at the site, everything about the game looked very, well, average to me.

So my question is, what is so great about this game? What sets it apart from everyone else, and why is it such a success?

 

For me really nothing. I don t find Aion to be the next great game at all. Will it have alot of subs sure, but to me I find it quite boring. Being my opinion, doesn t make it the right opinion for everyone of course. That said outside some time on the CN servers, the every pther weekend beta thing here actually made me cancel my pre order. It felt WAY to linear. For each their own but I got bored before release.

ditto..

can't explain it but, it just felt same ol to me.

I wonder how many heroes are going to look like villains anyway.. My guess is around 30-40% will be dark ninja types.. lol..

lol... But seriously, why does every game HAVE to cater to the PvP crowd these days? WoW tacked it on and did well, CO may tack it on as well and do well also... Not everyone prefers the sports car so why not let some people drive SUV's?
