Saurus930 writes: It looks really great, but the sound effects are terrible. Less plip plop and more sword clashing and agonizing screams please! Fri Mar 07 2008 3:06PM Report
WootNation writes: Very nice, but my only concern is if its popular... and by popular I mean atleast over 300k or 500k subs. The quality looks great, its just that people know more about stuff like Warcraft and Warhammer and less about this... sad. Fri Mar 07 2008 3:14PM Report

qombi writes: Looks like another solo play garbage mmorpg similar to WoW yet which tries to even worsen the genre further by making it like a console game. Fri Mar 07 2008 4:30PM Report
qombi writes: Where was the group of players fighting monsters? All I seen was someone running around in a action paced solo play mode. I can't play by myself offline, and do not need to pay a online fee to do so. Fri Mar 07 2008 4:31PM Report
Cablespider writes: Good stuff! I'm glad cry babies that have no clue what they're driveling about, like qombi, won't be playing. Fri Mar 07 2008 4:48PM Report
Tidwell32 writes: Although i dont think this game will even compete with age of conan, it's nice to see developers straying from the click and watch combat system. there may be hope for the MMORPG genre Fri Mar 07 2008 4:56PM Report

Celestis1000 writes: Looks good to me. My only concern is there is still some room left for quake style circle strafing and bunny hopping which is not realistic in ANY way. Fri Mar 07 2008 5:59PM Report
Celestis1000 writes: I'd like to add that at one point the character fighting was "walking" while fighting. That part seem very cool and REAL. Walking around carefully choosing the right time to strike is much better than RUNNING around like a monkey. Fri Mar 07 2008 6:00PM Report

Shifty360 writes: I do not follow this game, but I am bufuddled as to how everyone can shout WoW clone. WoW looks nothing like this game. Sat Mar 08 2008 1:18AM Report
daemon writes: Looks like a hit already. Lovely atmosphere. The world really looks alive and everything looks so smooth. Nice graphics, a good story, beautiful spells is all we need and all this at not the cost of performance. Sat Mar 08 2008 2:48AM Report
HackMick writes: Ok so i was kind of exited about TCOS b4 but I am really exited now! this looks awesome. Skill in combat! mebe all those hours playing fps will count for something in a persistent world! Only crit I would have was the running movement on the player looked a bit spastic, mebe thats on purpose? ;) Sat Mar 08 2008 2:49AM Report
coffee writes: looking good, as some have said, yes its like wow... in that... the animation are wonderful, not stiff and awkward, the enviroments look rich and detailed and above all it look like a fun game. go CoSB. Sat Mar 08 2008 3:39AM Report

Ryowulf writes: I liked everything but the sounds. Why was musical notes playing when people are hit? Sat Mar 08 2008 11:05AM Report
rejad writes: "I liked everything but the sounds. Why was musical notes playing when people are hit?" The sounds were from magic effects. The one that made the sound whenever they hit was probably due to the Life Tap spell, which I am assuming is a state you can put on an opponent so that every time you or one of your group hits them, you get healed a little. Looks cool. Sat Mar 08 2008 1:49PM Report
fagercraft writes: @WootNation You do realise that very few games have over 300-500 subsciptions. Atleast in one area. But yeah games should atleast be able to fill 1-3 servers to medium to stay interesting (excl special cases like EvE and such with super servers) On the trailer, the game reminds me of Rune, but in mmo form. The graphics are good, i am not so fond of the character models thou, however animations seems good. And too ppl saying its auto hit game like WoW and similar.. you gotta time your movement so your aponent will miss.. that is not AFK auto hit system. In wow if he swings the dices will rule if it hits.. here its the player. Definetly a game i will try out, then again i dont mind paying the cash to try it heh.. Looking forward to AoC and Aion more then this thou, however its up there with warhammer on the looking forward to list for me :D! Sat Mar 08 2008 1:51PM Report
Gayia writes: the game looks great and pretty original. I wish people would stop comparing everything to wow as if wow was the first of all things mmo. Sat Mar 08 2008 6:15PM Report

Solamnus writes: If you think this game is similar to wow, you dont know anything about this game. Devs of this game tried to make somethingdifferent from other mmo`s and when i watch this movie, i see they done something rly original. If you think this game is lame, pls continue to play wow and grind gear to win forever... Sun Mar 09 2008 5:55AM Report
mindmeld writes: Still not impressed hard do see if it takes more skill than gear beased on video. Have to test it out first though before i can fully judge it. Sun Mar 09 2008 6:13AM Report
Avalon1976 writes: This MMORPG looks really worth paying for I have been playing WoW since it launched and believe this to be totally different from WoW which is a very good thing since WoW is becoming the MMORPG to play if you dont know how to play a MMORPG it is like the mmo for noobs this looks like a something I will play.. (CANT WAIT) Sun Mar 09 2008 11:42PM Report
Avalon1976 writes: I would like to add if WoW was your first MMO you really cant say your a true MMO buff .. I got my MMO fix back when everquest was first released .. This so far is way better than WoW .. as are alot of mmo's out there .. Sun Mar 09 2008 11:52PM Report
bestiacorpus writes: TCoS > WoW. They have WoWish visual content which is great. They need more fluid and enhanced physics animations --can still be fixed. Need more camera angles. NO STICKY TARGETTING! OMG WINNER! Mon Mar 10 2008 12:57AM Report

Thatim writes: Guys, first of all, this concept is older the AoC one. Second of all, AoC wasnt able to pull of the trick, so it isnt in the game anymore. Third, there are penaltys for bunnyhoping, so that isnt a huge deal. Please read some info about the game first before you go bash something. I aint doing it too right? WAR LOOK IS WOW CLONE! Oops yes I did. Who stops me? Wed Mar 12 2008 12:59AM Report
mutantmagnet writes: "Am I the only one that finds the weapon tracing (visual) effects and combat sounds to be overdone?" You weren't the only one but after some discussionn with others who played the game already and my own introspection it's better this way. In this video you could see you can play in first person mode. But unlike other games you can't see your weapons so you can't judge distances. The weapon traces instead make up for that. In another video the weapon traces have really long draw distances. This allows you to plan ahead if classes have unique traces. As for the sound other people have said when you actually play the game it is no where near as obnoxious and it actually helps on a subconcious level. Wed Mar 12 2008 8:20AM Report

shakaama writes: Guess i'll be the unpopular person who doesn't jump on the band wagon. First of all, I've been waiting for this game for a long time. After seeing this video though .... looks like the are trying, too hard, to reinvent the wheel. I'm sadly disappointed by what i see. I won't be buying it. Wed Mar 19 2008 3:21AM Report
cyberpupi writes: This post is for shakaama: After so many years of gaming i still cannot blieve ppl who just judge a game for what they see, is time for u to know my friend that sometimes things are suppose to be played first insteed of being "sadly disappointed" for what u see. As for the game, i cannot wait to give it a try, looks very fluid but again i never judge a game for a video. Sat Mar 22 2008 9:10AM Report
arobi writes: From technical standpoint I dont think they can pull off this real time combat and dodging with alot of people on screen at once, technology is not at that lvl yet and connection speeds are not good enough. Although DnD Online did it very well it only works because it is all instanced. Mon Mar 24 2008 8:50AM Report
Thatim writes: They already pulled it of. It is proven, see other movies. 30 people fighting against each other from normal computers, scatterd all over the world. TCoS did what AoC prommised. Ha! Mon Mar 24 2008 9:20AM Report
Heruka writes: omg Wed Mar 26 2008 9:28PM Report
Douhk writes: Nice combat system, just heard about this recently and now am actually considering looking more into this. Looks like WAR and AoC aren't going to be the only next-gen games for competition. The actual walking and graphics themselves seem a little wonky but then again, this is beta... a lot better than what WoW looked like in the beginning that's for sure. Fri Mar 28 2008 9:25PM Report
shakaama writes: like i said I would be the unpopular person by making my comment. and i'm quite entitled to judge from what i see. that's the point of them putting out the video "please see our video and see if you like what you see" i don't like what i see, nuff said. I see nothing new. Wed Jun 25 2008 3:26AM Report
