• • Review so far :nice game but not great

  • I still miss Daoc siege, hope AoC will have nice one.... or maybe something like Lineage2 siege when people lvl was around lv 50... but i don't miss the siege i did when i was lv75 in there because 1 epic character could kill 5-10 lv75.

    For grouping in AoC it's hard to tell, i did more grouping with my ToS and i was feeling more a caster class then healer with the feat i took to try pvp. But i was loving the CC of ToS rooting and slow enemy was fun.

    For the tank part, someone who going to play tank in this game will need alot of skill for sure.I did'nt see any review of high lvl tank yet but it will come fast enough.Assasin will be popular like most game at first and many will role ranger for the fps aiming.

    Just love the graphic with real human and not pink orc or cartoon graphic... It will be a nice change of all the asian mmo i played ...like  WoW and more a come back to the game i enjoyed the most ( Daoc ).

    I didn't group much because i did the solo story 1-13 with my 2 healer and conqueror.It was more fast lvling for the time i had for the beta. And when they open the lv20 , well i did about 1200 kill in pvp mini game to see how which of my healer was doing the best. So far with my style of play, ToS was my favorite.

    Some will love the combat style of mellee and some won't !!!

    Hope people will make their own opinion and respect other with it!!!

    Still again sorry for my writing !!! Hard to translate french thinking into english sometime!

    Quite a few people have made the comment of classes being the same early on and using the excuse that all or most MMORPGs are like that.

    I find it important to point out that is doesn't matter what most MMORPGs are doing, especially when the only MMORPG a person has played isn't like that. For example, my first and most favorite game of all time is DAoC.

    For those that don't know, players started out with 7 archetypes in DAoC. The 7 archetypes were different than each other, but it was nothing compared to the diversity one would experience at level 5. At level 5, you got to choose between several classes within that archetype and they played very differently from the other classes within that archetype. This was all before level 10 even.

    The point is that just because the majority does something a certain way, does not mean those with higher standards for gaming has to seccumb to them. I haven't decided if I will be playing AoC or not, but it's the comments coming from people who like AoC that is making me have second thoughts about playing. You all are saying the game doesn't open up until after level 20. Well that is unacceptable. A game should be fun and engaging from the start, am I right? That doesn't mean AoC isn't fun and engaging from the start and I have yet to really read enough reviews to determine if it will be for my choice of playstyle.

    
    Hello Kanosi,

    after playing Daoc 4 years i can tell you that you going to like AOC, graphic are nice, the starter town was very fun 1-13 ( couldnt play 14-19 in the beta) and lv 20 -25 was very fun to play too.

    The lvl 1-20 was originaly made to be played solo..... So thats why you have more instanced zone ....
    I played 2 different type of healer from 1-13 and alot in mini pvp game at 20.And tryed a mellee type from 1-13 and lv20. Both were fun and wish i had time to try assasin and ranger class.

    I'm sure it's a game to be tryed for anyone who played other mmo then WoW.

    You might like it like i did in beta!!!
    See you in game maybe!

    Hope you find a game that suit your playtime...

    Sorry for my english !!
