    • the ignorance in these comments is typical. What you say is bad about this game, is basically in every game so what are you doing on this site? do us a favor and leave the gaming to us who actually want to have fun than try to be the coolest MFer in a pixelized world.
  • jusagamfrek(posted Wed Nov 07 2007)
    • Excellent demonstration actually. I'll be the first to admit I figured this game to be a dud capitalizing on the mmo craze, but after some research and watching its progression, I'm coming around. Get this game on your radar - it shows outstanding potential.
  • Speiberbob(posted Sun Nov 04 2007)
    • hmhmhm... so jumpin is bad? If you have a fps targeting, it would be the natural gamers thing to do to avoid blows, and thats just the thing that would hold me of this game. It got many interestiong features though
  • Zerocyde(posted Sat Nov 03 2007)
    • Hi, I'm gonna hate this game based on trivial semantics just like everyone else. Am I leet now?
  • mikevrk(posted Sat Nov 03 2007)
    • /yawn spell, jump, jump, jump, chop, chop... quite boring I'd say... Sepllborn ? no, thanks...
  • MarlonB(posted Thu Nov 01 2007)
    • Bunnyhopping will not increase dodge, and afaik will negatively influence your character.
  • morycce(posted Wed Oct 31 2007)
    • this is the best LEVEL ONE battle I have ever seen in any ALPHA mmo ever.
  • morycce(posted Wed Oct 31 2007)
    • no one reads these comments do they?
  • tarvik(posted Tue Oct 30 2007)
    • cant wait for this game but i really dont care for the weapon trail...reminds me of will ferrell from old school lol
  • Athela(posted Tue Oct 30 2007)
    • For alpha testing, the video looks fine, very clear. They do say they had everyone in their office just create a character and start hacking, so...no surprise all the jumping around. I like that they do away with the dice rolls. It might be interesting to see how targeting really does work. It sounds like its more to do with aim and technique. We'll see if they can pull it off.
  • sumuji(posted Tue Oct 30 2007)
    • I lol@ fanbois with blinders on myself. OMG this game is so awesome 111!eleven!!! More like a FPS if everybody holstered their guns and tried to kill with a knife. stab,stab,hop,hop,stab,hop,run backwards,hop,stab /yawn
  • Blacknd(posted Tue Oct 30 2007)
    • I can see perfectly what is going on and how they look. It's your comps people, not their game.
  • ravenglade(posted Tue Oct 30 2007)
    • Rapid Clickfest: Not at all. Do some research on their combat wheel. Weapon Trails: I believe these are to be toned down. Bunny Hop: I hope a penalty/limitation is set on this. Remember. What you're seeing here is Level 1 pvp free for all. Level 1. Imagine any other MMO at lvl 1, then look at this.
  • Speiberbob(posted Tue Oct 30 2007)
    • Na sorry, but a pvp game where you jump around like this... just to goofy for me ^^
  • Warblaze(posted Mon Oct 29 2007)
    • dang, this looks very promising and fun! Never looked into this game before but after seeing this, i'm definitely going to check this game out!
  • satojin(posted Mon Oct 29 2007)
    • Given lag isn't a big problem, the game may be fun, however I think Darkfall might overtake it. TCoS to me atm looks too much like rapid clicking.
  • SpikeDX(posted Mon Oct 29 2007)
    • sepllborn eh?
  • Ponico(posted Mon Oct 29 2007)
    • The weapon trail is nice but it's also a bit too much at times. However, I think that this is actually a refreshing look. Not saying no one else did it but it does feel like RUIN.
  • someforumguy(posted Mon Oct 29 2007)
    • lol@ the stupid comments about this video. If you listen to the narrative voice you will understand that they are not trying to impress you. It is just a video showing a stresstest with lvl1 characters in a starting area. Those comments are so typical for this website.
  • Speiberbob(posted Mon Oct 29 2007)
    • *click click click bunnyhop bunnyhop? sorry to dark to make out anythnig
  • arielstarfir(posted Mon Oct 29 2007)
    • Looks like WoW. So not-wow. 8-)
  • sumuji(posted Sun Oct 28 2007)
    • Dutch57- What can I say? I call it like I see it. They should be the ones trying to impress me so I would get interested enough to do research. The video is on the front page afterall, I didn't go searching for it.
  • butters88(posted Sun Oct 28 2007)
    • How does that look fun one bit?
  • gpsxsirus(posted Sun Oct 28 2007)
    • To further what Sterkt said, these are all level 1 characters with starting gear so of course they are going to look pretty similar.
  • Sterkt(posted Sun Oct 28 2007)
    • Just want to remind everybody, since it appears some didn't seem to get this fact, that this are level 1 characters, with 5 spells. When they reach 50, every class will have each 40-50 different spells each, which will make this battles even more fun than they already look. The fact that it looked fun and they were only level 1 shows how kewl this game is going to be ;>
  • Dutch57(posted Sun Oct 28 2007)
    • so we won't see Einh,Pietoro;sumuji see playing this game ..fine we can miss players how like the juge a book by the cover and to lazz are to take more time to read about the game .
  • sumuji(posted Sun Oct 28 2007)
    • Not to be too judgemental but looks pretty boring. All I saw was repetative melee weapon trails and peoples' hands glowing. Just a slow combat, FPS-type game with a sword?
  • Pietoro(posted Sat Oct 27 2007)
    • What's the point of a video that's too dark to actually see anything?
  • Einh(posted Sat Oct 27 2007)
    • Darkfall is gonna be wayyyyy better lol
  • giskard73(posted Sat Oct 27 2007)
    • I like that items don't infer bonuses. It's based on player skill. If someone plays more than me and knows how to target or move better, that's fair. If they bought a twink off EBay that's B$. I like what they're doing here. PLUS we can wear whatever we want which will allow more unique styles which American gamers crave.
  • Thatim(posted Sat Oct 27 2007)
    • Well, lets make this clear: It was shot during NIGHT time and on some computers the movie get displayed darker then it actualy is. Further more they WILL change effects from weapons before release. A community manager said that on the official forums.
  • dalevi1(posted Sat Oct 27 2007)
    • This looks smooth in playtime, but I can't make anything else out. The encoding is very good, but the darkness really lends nothing to deciphering what is going on. It *does* look like a fun battle to be a part, but as for showing off the game, it really does little for me visually. Only a comment, if they can deliver on their intentions this will be a fun time.
  • Ghostworks(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • wow... anyone else can't wait for something other than WOW???? That looks really fun. All you haters are probably EQ players...blechh!!
  • eks(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • That actually look like a lot of fun. And for the people who didn't notic the message ontop: The Animations and Effects are _Not_ final.
  • kyds3k(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • i LIKE the weapon swing effects!
  • Cyberalien(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • For an alpha it looks really fun. The trailings and korean game hit effects have to go though.
  • pmdewit1(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • Can't wait, looks like alot of fun!
  • Hellrise(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • sucks indeed :p
  • Lowlander(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • Looks frantic and fun, I think they will need to put in something to punish those with bad connections to stop those that deliberatly lag to avoid being hit.
  • Thecrow12345(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • I hope they take out the slashing "wind" graphics for every freaking swing.
  • gatheris(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • could they have held this in an even darker area - don't think so
  • Cubbuns(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • Every toon looked the same, They said somthing about toons being distinctive. Not sure if it was the lighting in that video, but it sucked.
  • Rayana(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • Turned up the gamma quite a bit, but I can hardly see anything? 0.o
  • Zodan(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • Looks like a rave party.
  • Drvanitus(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • what's with all the weapon trailings...it looks annoying. Otherwise seems OK.
  • Gidion(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • fur balls?
  • tweakthem(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • this game will be the best thing to be invented besides sugar frosted flakes.
  • crmznoutlw16(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • the combat is really impressive
  • Sabbicat(posted Fri Oct 26 2007)
    • Ah ya. That was underwhelming.
  • Mrbloodworth(posted Thu Oct 25 2007)
    • That looks fun! Hope the lag isn't bad.
