I played Age of Conan very shortly as well. Back when it first came out. This minion system you mention does sound interesting. I personally feel that is how a game should be. Fight a large group of minions, all at once and then face off against a more challenging foe, 1v1. 

I played City of Heroes for a very long time, and that is what  I am talking about. You bust into a place, and fight your way through a horde of monsters. I agree with this game as an example of what I enjoy. However, it has been shut down.

I only played GW2 for a little while, but I am pretty sure I remember fighting one monster a time through most of it. Perhaps there are these epic confrontations you are talking about but yes, I must have missed it. 

I was never able to play Tabula Rasa because it was shut down before I got to it. 

You do understand the concept I am talking about though right? You are suppose to be some extraordinaire PC but most of the time you seem weak. 

 

I definitely get your point.

It just doesn't seem right in my own fantasy setting that you're an incredible skilled murdering machine and that it takes as long to kill a boar at max lvl then at lvl 1. A boar is a boar, nothing special about it.. 

However, if they replaced the boars with lets say 'an elite squad of well trained assassins' then that would make sense having a tough battle 1 on 1.

You Sir, are right in every sense!

About the question you just asked: The only thing that can keeps me going after I reach max level in about 6 months after release is an interesting world with tons of lore.

I don't care most people just click passed all the quest text, they are wrong, period. If you don't know why you have to do something then you're just brainless doing a grind which makes no sense to you. And sadly that seems to be the way 80% (if not higher) wants to play their precious mmo..

I want lore and meaning behind my character! Why does he need to kill those wolves at the Forest's Edge? Why am I travelling into the Temple of Agonizing Torture? It sure as hell aint for pleasure.

I am suprised Vanguard isn't on the list, had so much potential the vast scope of the game and vision. If it had only been finished who knows where it would be now? It's still a good game today but no one wants to go back to an old game.. I'd like to see how they do free to play though

seconded, Vanguard should be on that list imo. One of the biggest worlds out there :)

As a D&D pen/paper player i loved almost every single game i played. Since EYE OF THE BEHOLDER to last Dragon Age II, i enjoyed till last drop. I'm a huge fan of MMORPG genre. I will be playing Neverwinter Online from day 1. GW2 got my heart too, as a GW1 with 3k hours played.

Hope that Cryptic made an AAA+ game of it. As i watched over last weeks, this seems a must have for every D&D fans and fantasy style players.

PD: Sorry for my english if something is misstyped

just the mistyped part ;)

To be critical of a game is fine, its part of beta testing, you need to let the developers know of any bugs or problems you find in game. I think what alot of people find anoying are the "This game sucks, it looks crapy, loads of lag and its not as good as X game" posts. These posts help in no way as often there sole reason is to bash a game not provide any kind of help. If you dont like something, try sujesting an alternitve or way of fixing. Loud mouth bashing of a game just because of the fear said game may be better that your own brand of online fun helps no one, donsnt help the game being tested and makes said person look like nothing but a troll, even if there point is valid.

You got it right! 100% my opinion about it too

Like everything in life, it's all in your perspective.

 

I didn't pay to "test the game" I paid because I had every intention of buying it whenever it released. I bought it now because that let's me play a bit with the beta builds before it releases and I'm glad I got to see that it's even better than I'd expected

 

If you had no intention of buying it but you paid just for the beta weekend then that was your choice--not one I would make but whatever.

 

If you bought it and didn't enjoy it, well it's no different than if you bought it after release and didn't enjoy it then. It's not like we haven't all done that with a game at one time or another.

 

Everything else in this thread is just drama.

 

This

i doubt blizzard lawyers wouldn't have sorted through this before they started the development

i've broken my mouse twice when i threw it away.. since then i went old school with a cord ;)

grrrr... OP should take an arrow in the knee ;)

Pre-ordered yesterday (EU 5 euro reservation/pre-order deal) and I recieved the key today, registered/entered code and downloading client atm 7MB/s, I'm happy, no problems so far.

Closed beta weekend here i come!

It aint the same

The keys from the sites in the OP are for a sneak and peak for this weekend. Closed Beta won't start for another 1 or 2 weeks i believe

This is actually the first time i'm happy that i live somewhere where they have 3 'native' languages :) thanks for the heads up

Looking forward to the progress on this one. Q4 really is an agressive release date but I'll give them a shot.

dips on closed beta :p

Haven't found any other topic about this game, nor did i find a section for it under the Game List

Seems to be the spiritual sequel of Shadowbane to me. Not much information available yet, still i'll keep an eye on this one.

Your thoughts? :)

If anything is the spiritual successor to Shadowbane, it is this - Fallen Thrones.  I just discovered it a few days ago, and anyone who played Shadowbane will recognize the influence. Personally I can't wait.

Oh, if you sign up for the forums, please tell them Anthrage sent you. :P

Thanks a lot for this Anthrage! wouldve slipped passed me if i didn't come by the shadowbane forums on mmorpg.com ;) cheers mate

When it's done ;)

- No quest hubs

- Player driven world

- Extensive crafting system (Vanguard crafting system comes to mind)

- Massive world to explore

- No quicktravel through teleports (making the world more vast)

- Immersion with the gameworld

- Be anything you want to be (classless system)

- No gear grind for endgame (gathering gear to go the next raid to gather some more gear for the next one, etc)

- No instancing

- Player / Guild housing

- A good and patient community

These things just popped in my mind right off the bat.
