• • WAR vs. AOC

    AOC has two things: great graphics and great music.  Oh, they also have boobage, dismemberment and decapitation which is good too.  But combat is core to an mmo, and while AOC combat might be fun at first, I think it would get tiresome later.  Also, instancing kills that game.  There is no feeling of freedom and exploration.

     

    WAR I am just becoming acquainted with, but I think it will be the number 2 mmo when the dust settles.

     

    Good post, I totally agree with you too. AoC has some flaws. Instancing was one of the biggest hurdles for me to get over to continue playing. A massive open world is just awesome. I usually just go to Khesh and never even notice we were instanced. But a completely open world would be ideal. But thanks to Age of Conan i would consider playing an instanced game again. I didn't bother me as much as i thought it would. The combat i still find fun. its not perfect and easily exploitable but it was fun, and thats all that really matters. Since this is a WAR vs AoC thread id like to point out somethings about WAR.

    One thing that bothers me from what i hear from guildies on the open servers, is that if you go to a tier 1 zone when you are higher you get turned into a chicken. Which i understand the idea behind this but i think it is horribly implemented. Why have a huge free open world but when you cross some line you turn chicken. Seems self deafeating to me. Also the combat is long dead. The one button spam click is so old. If they would do something a little creative id love this game a lot more. As of now i feel like i wasted 10 dollars on the pre order. I will continue to play the open beta in hopes i warm up to it.

    Really?? people actually find it fun? After playing the open beta today theres no way in hell I'll be picking this one up. Feels just like WOW and the combat completely kills it for me. After AOC I just cant go back to the dice roll, single target attacks.. but have fun in it if you can stand it.

    My feeling exactly, the combat is just so boring. Coming from AoC and now back to auto attack, it just seems like a huge step backwards. I couldn't go back to spam clicking 3 buttons again. I know all of stuff is broken in AoC but WAR is not the answer. everything about that game disgusts me.. w/e have fun it, this is just my opinion.

• • Dark Rituals - Deathwhisper

  • Hello aspiring Ritualists! We are a newly formed guild that is accepting all classes. We are looking for mature and active players to go along in adventures through out hyboria. As of now we are a small guild and looking for class leaders and and admins along with casual players. We have a free forum at DarkRituals.invisionplus.net and we will be upgrading things as we get more active players.

    Future Plans: to get a Vent server up within the month, depending on how many people are recruited and also updating the forums to something more professional very soon. Our end goals are to be a small raiding guild that also does competitive PvP. By small i mean around 50-60 active players. This will not be a guild with 100+ people. From my point of view it becomes too impersonal. That is not what we want at Dark Rituals. We want to provide a strong kinship among players.

     

    Plans for right now: Doing Guild activities such and running instances together, guild PvP, and grinding if need be : ) And well just getting to know everyone while we reach level cap.

    If you would like more info please PM on here or in game. My in game name is Marise. Other Officers are Xenai. Rilus. and Cnoevil. If you would like to join put in an app on the forums and you are golden, We have no  template yet so basic info about yourself will do.
