Realistic gore, 2x the fatalities than AoC, and best of all, all female characters are nude.... the only playable gender in the game.

I also hear that they're adding in vehicles for ultimate destruction.

Damn is that in the premium servers?! All I've seen is sunshine, rainbows, and happy days :(

hmm, I seem to recall the phrase "no pointless violence" inside the game lol

 

Then we have no choice but to assign a point. Only then can we start the violence...

of course there could be a point to violence! Hell, one of the best fights are catfights! and being Hello Kitty Online, it means there is a potential to alot of catfights!

Did someone steal your hair ribbon, steal your clothing, rip up your garden? Then let em have it! Pick up your purse, or a shovel, or anything, in defense of your honor!

Ehh, an Avatar MMO would be hard considering the entire series is about the manipulation of the environment around you, not just the elements. But... if there was going to be one, I would like to see a class system, instead of a talent. There could be base abilities between each class that are shared, but further in they differentiate. Ontop of that, would be elite versions that could be attained through quests, and of course hidden ones for some styles.

Water Bender.

Clear River style: A basic water bending style that has weak attack, but is able to heal.

Gentle Ocean Style: Advanced style that focuses upon healing, with some offensive abilities.

----------------------------------------

Rough Rapids Style: Basic offensive style that focuses on attacking both single foes and groups, as well as hindering movement.

Raining Hail Style: A style focusing upon powerful ice-based attacks and rooting enemies in place.

would be basics of the water styles, then, of course, Blood-bending could be something that is unlocked, and is a new class entirely that would debuff and limit control of enemies, with some powerful offensive abilities as well, but limited. As the bloodbender cannot do anything else to the opponent besides what they are doing now, and the enemy can only be affected by one bloodbender at any moment.

Fire of course would have blue and red flames, the blue being a rather reckless and powerful one, while red flame would allow a mix of defensive and offensive, rather balanced style. Lightning style would be a hidden one.

And so on and so on with other bending styles, and of course other ways to attack besides bending.

An avatar system would be interesting, but wouldnt be the easiest thing to balance, since its alraedy shown only one can exist at any time, and suddenly changing into one would be completely unpredictable, and unfair.

I think a large number of people have left, so now FC must keep everyone happy. Yes even the so called "troll".

People leave, thats why they make something like this "Death never looked so hot"... hope they add "when you swing your swords in slowmotion".  (very nice patch FC... very nice...idi!)

I have no idea what FC are doing right now with the game. But I have a feeling that if we had a camera over the office... then we would see chickens without heads runing around trying to "fix" the game. And can chickens without heads do that? Noooope...

They fucked it up at start and it's very hard to fix something like that.

Very stupid by whoever at FC and very sad.

Ehh, I dunno, I think a bunch of headless chickens flailing around could type up better coding using the unending geyser of blood spewing forth from their new neckhole lol.

And as to the ad, hell its better than the truth, but! Here's an ad to consider.

Why are people even talking about an AO rating?  The only way that this game could ever receive that rating is if they put a physical sex component in.  Even then, it could be a stretch depending on what they show.

Gears of war shows dismemberment, heads exploding/head crushing, blood squirting in massive streams realistically.  It is rated M.

God of War has sexual minigames, and if you happen to enounter a woman wear ng a shirt. it is see through every time.  You twist necks around, eviscerate, tear body parts off our opponents, and cuss out the gods.  It is rated M.

Fallout 3 has videos shown of people blowing heads off, using rockets to blow the crap out of people, and launching teddy bears that explode people into corpses at high velocity.  It's rated M.

Bioshock has you murdering possessed little girls for in-game power.  It's rated M.

Mortal Kombat has you ripping spines out, tossing enemies into spikes, ripping still beating hearts from someone's chest, and more.  It's rated M.

In Blood Omen, Legacy of Kain, people beg you for mercy and you kill them.  In the first game of the series, there are VIVID verbal descriptions of powers that remove flesh and explode people in a variety of ways.  For its time, it was the goriest game out.  It's rated M.

In DOOM, you enter hell itself and chase down demons across satanic altars and tortured corpses you see along the way.  It's rated M.

In AoC, blood splatters here and there and you chop of a limb if you are lucky.  It's rated E.  Err, M, I guess.  There is no reason AoC could not have all of the above and not break the M-rated standards.  That would, of course, require FC to be savvy about their product, so it's not happening.  Dumbass devs + M-rating = waste.

mhm, thinking that exact thing. I've played and seen lots of games that have earned their M rating, all AoC has is its off-chance decaps, and what used to be sexual innuendos and some nudity, but trust me, it wasnt anywhere nearly as bad as any God of War game.

Hell, I bet GoW3 for the PS3 is gonna look alot better than AoC, gonna have alot more decaps and gore, more visceral and actual satisfying combat, and better lookin breasts, and oh, dont forget the Hi-def sex minigame. And all that is going to earn it just an M rating.

The excuse for AoC is probably because its an MMO and falls under different standards. Well guess what, God of war is more accessible to kids than AoC, and with AoC, verifaction of age should be alot easier than it with GoW. Oh well, just another example of the backwards, oddball society that is the USA and the oblivious and incoherent ESRB.  :\

Busy people, you wonder, with so much going on, if they will have problems distributing a quality product for any of these MMO's?

eh, I know one thing. The Runes of Magic newsletter is currently German-only, with no way to change it. Thinking that their site is in English (or close to), they could at least bother to make an english newsletter :\

Have to agree, sounds way too exploitive to me. Hell, on a PvP server this will probably be even worse. PvE its alright, but for PvP?

I thought this world was supposed to be brutal and gritty, how can any player be an 'innocent'? They just throwing a carebear aspect in, which wont do much to protect them. And forcing who-ever parties with a murder unknowingly to become a criminal is outrageous. At least in WoW, and some other games, if you party up with someone marked for PvP, you arent forced into it, its until you do something to benefit that person that you are marked, which is how this system should be if they are going to do that.

And honestly, I dont think anyone on PvP is going to become a murderer, I'm sure everyone there is gonna be a criminal sooner or later, so the Murderer rank is just useless. Besides, you'd think attaining Murderer, as hard as it is, would be an accomplishment, not a bad thing, in this world.

Eh whatever, just another reason not to get the game :\

Appearently Eidos is trying to distantiate themselves from Age of Conan already and know more then most of us.

If Age of Conan is such a success, then Eidos would have been proud in Showcasing the product they distribute isn't.

Says enough really (and sadly).

Mhm, certainly makes sense to me. Hell, Microsoft was quick to rub it in Sony's face that they got the NA PS3 Exclusivity out the window and now are releasing FFXII on the 360. So honestly, if the game was doing so well, I think Eidos would of been prancing around and bragging about it. But they arent.

Hmm... just thought of this...

Perhaps... Funcom, is the Uwe Bole of MMOs?

lucky SunofaB.

sorry for using such harsh letters mate, but that aint cool :\

Where's mah beta key Mythic?! Waaaaagh!

Easy way they made money, especially with the "RED RINGS OF DEATH" glitch they purposly put in the xbox 360 to make some quick cash. Yes, XP 32 bit is worth it.

some of the craziest BS ive ever heard. Yeah the 360s had an issue with that, but you are blowing it out of proportion. Last checked it was at a 16% failrate, no 100. Dont listen to this guy.

Out of quite a few friends who own a 360, only one had it go Redring on them. Its not too common, and if it does occur, MS actually has extended warranties for that incident. Do some reasearch before you mindlessly ramble steve :\

But as for an OS, go for XP, Vistas is a power and resource hog, plentie of whistles and bells to look impressive, but they dont sound too good when used. :\

Eh, I'd want to check, but I dont feel like registering for a bloody site, is it on the actual sight itself?

Blizzard optimised the client for WoW far more then most companies do. They programmed the engine to boot up and run well on even the lowest rung of PC's thats all it comes down to. Hope this helps.

mhm, ive rarely had any issues in starting up WoW, and many times the most it takes is a few seconds logging on.

Do other clases to play belong in this game?? Most people say no!!!

 

 

Maybe i missed it, but hasanything official come out that said BioWare's new MMO is going to be Jedi only?

If so, I would wonder what the point of grouping, and thus even being an MMO would be. I mean, how many flavors of Jedi can you have aside from dark and light? I am sure there would be plenty of variation and some mechanic would make it worth grouping, but I couldn't imagine it really being anything more then a glorified single-player game with an "online component" at that point.

Ultimately, I am in the group that thinks the one of the last thing I would want to be in a Star Wars MMO is a Jedi. There are so many other aspects to the SW IP that are appealing. Maybe in the time period, it would be more appealing. I guess we will have to wait and see.

well Ml, there is the Jedi's who like to cackle and shoot lightning, talk like a psychic, swing their saber around alot, throw people around, or the lesser seen "Heji" the healing jedi :D

and both come in dark and light flavors!!

so course there is a nice variety!

..... right....?

That is from your point of view.

I feel differently, doesn't make it anymore wrong or right.

 

If you're going to bash the game, just come out and do it.

 

I think i did already.

yeesh first time posting on mmorpg.coms forums and man responses are terrible, not backed up, and apparently people dont read others post before posting about them. 

Flame on scrubs i wont be checking back here

huh, sorry all i saw was somethin about Flaming scrubs or something.... sorry

rofl most people? Dont know where ya got that, but last thing I'd want to be in a SW MMO is some jedi, too many people would have one, thus it aint fun. I'd rather be a bounty hunter or smuggler :P

and to adress your responce towards what currency is used for...

Last time I checked the movies or such. even jedis need food. Even jedis need a vehicle, they  cant just ride the "force" lightning :p

And yes robes are a staple of their look, but it doesnt necessarily mean they have to wear it, or dont wear anything else under it. And not all jedi's can heal themselves, so healthkits are a neccesity, as would be a medic class.

If anything, I'm suprised you didnt respond to the list by going "He has the force!! Why would he need to buy anything when he can use the Force?!"

Why don't they just make COH/V better rather that make a new game that is the same.

Because they sold the IP to NCSoft, its up to them now to do that.

They are using the money from that, and from other things to develop a few games actually. And saying CO is just COX2 is a crock of crap. They sold COX so they wouldnt be stuck to using its system.

The style in CO isnt exactly Cell-shaded, but similar. They are designing it for PC and 360, and are working on making sure it fits. The customization in the game is going to be alot greater than you see in COX. And, for those of you bitching about no villians, actually read abot the game from more than one source. You'll be allowed to create your own villian for your character, his own nemesis.

Any similarity spotted between the two can be easily dismissed because

A) Its from the same company and

B) How many other Superhero MMOs are out right now to compare it too?

edit: I also think that CO will rely less on instancing, not sure though.

I've studied the info at on the official website in the guide section pertaining to skillpoints/clones and it says:

<Buncha yellow mumbo-jumbo>

Now does this mean the following (for example):

I have 2 clones, one in Jita and one in Jel.

I am in my body in Jita and I have implants, so I clonejump to Jel and the clone at Jita gains my implants?

This thing is confusing the hell outta me. lol

you an me both brudda

Way I interpret it, is that the clone in Jel is now under your control, but you dont have the implants from the one in Jita.

Best way to describe it is "Mind-controlling" your clone, make him do what you want, but he doesnt have access to your implants, just what he knows. So if he dies, all you lost was a jump-clone and maybe a ship, but kept your implants because the real you is safe and sound somewhere else.

Its Blizzards short-term answer to revitalizing old things.

Raiding old-old world and old world (old-azeroth and Outlands) content: Check

so yep, it is a great idea (and besides, I want to club baby seals... :D)
