So far, it's the only mob we've seen.  Which is scary, thinking that the entire gameworld needs to be filled.  A million goblins that take 10 minutes to kill, each...Sounds like a blast?

Is what is allowed to show ...cause of NDA

You mean the NDA covering all those hard working beta testers we saw?

*swoosh*

Im not sure what the point is of attempting to have discusion with people who maintain a skeptical outlook at this game, no matter what argument is rebutted it just seems to continue, what i think these labeled 'trolls' should really state in their post is......not convinced until i play it....and thats it, why people bother posting more than that is a mystery to me, seems like a waste of energy.

Surely forums should be used to talk about upsides and downsides to features they are told are in the game and be taken at face value, then progress much along the same lines after release...whenever that is (quite frankly does not matter if its today or 2025.....I don't see how it really affects anyone except the company and people involved with the company)

Don't like what you see here...move along to a game you do like.....

I am one of the most skeptical/realistic people i know...but i don't see the point of spewing vile on a forum board forever and a day.....if you have an interest in the game then why can't people focus on the good and positive of what they here and hope for the best.

Anyone "that" hung up on graphics, is a child.  Plain and simple.  They just don't understand the idea of this game.

This seems like such a small minded stereotypical thing to say. 

Some gamers would like for us to believe that we have to choose between great graphics and great gameplay.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Both are entirely possible and should expected of modern MMOs.  Of course, as long as gamers make excuses and accept anything less, you'll have developers pushing games out that will fail to reach their full potential.  If a game can be improved, there's absolutely nothing wrong with saying so regardless of whether it's graphics, gameplay, AI, quests, or whatever.   That doesn't make you a child; quite the contrary in fact.

I've replied to this before, and you of course decided to ignore it.

Tell that thing to Mythic, Funcom and Blizzard. (the you can have good graphics and good gameplay part).

And I don't agree that saying graphics matter is childish, it's just different opinions.

any one else notice slight lag and offset hitboxes at :30 and :45?

Not sure it's lag or offset hitbox. It's most probably that the hitbox is bigger than the player model. That's a much bigger concern than the bad animations.

yea i think its just because the hit box is a tad bigger than that model but for an ork it will just fit

i dont see a problem with it unless it effects the combat plus the size of the hit box can be adjusted
 

I love the usual personal assurance that they can fix this they can fix that, its only a small problem, its not important,its not their fault, it will be done after launch or in beta, it will be different for release.

Maybe, might, possibly, its got potential.

They have had 8 years to work on this game, if they did not fix any of these so called small problems in the last 8 years there’s very little chance they will fix them in the 1 month they have left to start and finish open beta and then launch the game, not to mention do the hundred other things needed for a successful launch.

Some of these issues are fundamental design choices and technical issues concerning their network, server and client.

Every time people finally get to start seeing what state their beloved game is actually in the denial sets in.

What you see is what you get, at least what they are willing to let us see 1 month from launch, so who knows what everything else they are not showing is like, could be even worse or non existent.

That’s why I personally cant believe they would attempt to launch with this, so I’m now quite sure the whole launch within 2008 official company commitment and the schedule for open beta to end in early December were just more of the same misleading and unrealistic predictions they have been making for the last 8 years.
