• • State of the Game

  • Well it's a small game compared to giants like wow but the population seems fairly steady on rimor the server i play on,  the game world with expansions is rather large so at times it might look deserted but places like Borealis (neutral town) tend to be rather busy.

    As for having expansions or not, yes they will make a huge difference but that does not mean you can't have fun in the game without them, of course it depends on your playstyle, if you plan on solo a lot you can do so easily since missions can be set to the difficulty level of your choosing, having the expansions might let you solo tougher stuff (higher level), as for pvp i can only speculate since i never do any but not having the expansions would make a rather big difference i could imagine.

    To me i could not stand playing ao without expansions now that i'm used to the benefits, but it sure gives you a nice trial period if you like to test the game

    It is a nice stable beta at the very best.  I have played a solid two weeks.  I have seen many technical issues as well as creative short cuts.  Look at the models.  Most look similar or near alike.   As far as a ton of people having a good time so far I see most people in chat complaining about getting ganked repeatedly.  I love PVP but this is P-PVP, "P" is for pointless.  Being camped my a player 10 levels above my own on the resurection pad is just pointless in my book.

    One my pet peeves in wow pvp to, being corpse camped by a lvl 70 when you are 30 are so much fun, what sucks is they risk nothing doing it, bit sad that AoC is taking the same approach at least in a game like eve going ganking the newbies in secure space had a risk, you where likely to loose your ship and take a sec rating hit, do it enough and the police force will attack on sight.

  • There will always be people who like to level to the highest level in shortest possible time, people claim they can get to 220 in anarchy online in a few weeks and here i haven't even made it to 180 playing on and off since  2001 :) then again i'm not in any rush and by leveling slow i take time to see the world around me not just the zones that let me level the fastest.

    I remember when sony released the planes of power expansion for everquest and the hardcore raiders could not get to the end zone(plane of time) cause it was not ready, that to me is even worse since it was an expansion.

    Disturbs me a bit that tradeskills seems bad in AoC i have started to like doing tradeskills in other games, but hopefully they will fix it up to VG level (and yes i think Vanguard have super crafting reminds me of Horizons)

     

    Haven't played AoC much yet but it looks fantastic and i bet it will get better when more dx10 stuff is added.

  • Well i know anarchy online have the professional program, this includes 2 people for each profession in game that is choosen by the community to be the link between player <-> developer, hopefully CCP will listen more to the feedback given, but i think the idea behind it is great.
