    The people who say it looks just like WoW are mainly looking at textures I think.  And to that extent I think that is fairly apt.  The stone building and many ground textures do remind me of WoW.

     

    However the proportions and many effects look nothing like WoW.  Anyone who thinks the Bright wizard fire looks like WoW fire is just plain wrong and lacks much in the way of powers of observation.  Not to mention the water and metalic sheen effects, which WoW simply does not have to any real extent.

     

    As far as playing just like WoW.  I find most of these types of games (WoW, EQ1 or 2 , LOTRO) all feel pretty similar some change in pacing or resource usage or patterns of usage for a class.  But they have standard abilities for a class with casting bars etc etc.  Yeah sure compared to DDO they all feel roughly the same.

    Even Guild Wars feel fairly similar even though the mechanics have completey different implications.  Although GW is more fast furious and has a more of an edge due to various interrupt type stuff.  It still follows the same basic interface pattern.  Hot bars and timers.  Nothing wrong with that.

     

    Half Life 2 is a great game.  But it feels just like Doom it must suck!  Whatever.

     

    Good post, I agree.

    Ya, the person is also playing an IB, a tank, defensive speced they don't have very high damage when compared to the DPS classes in the game.  Oh, and the Marauder was a noob.

    
     

    Haha, that Marauder was a noob. It was funny he kept coming back for more though.

    Was funny when he kept having people come after him after he killed them, seeking revenge. Some got it, some paid the price again. I just looks like real fun to me. I will most definately buy the game, still going to wait a little bit to see what the release opinion appears to be.

• • If Age of Conan failed why does it have 400,000 subscribers?

  • From here

     

    "Subscriber base is a fairly loose term which roughly means "People that might still be playing". You see, they fail to mention that in this 415,000 they're including anyone that still had their subscription active at the time of the report (15 August 2008). That means if you were unfortunate enough to subscribe for 3 or 6 months at the time you bought the game, you're included in this number. No one actually knows how many active players they have as they've not released any server metrics, with damn good reason."

    I was on the fence so thank you for the video. I certainly wont be buying this game now

    graphics look very similiar to world of warcraft.

    You are wrong, the graphics are miles above WoW (which is a good game)

    UI looks exactly like world of warcraft

    Unlike every MMO released?

    combat animations are boring and dull and some were very simliar to world of warcraft. I saw a "thunderclap" move in that video

    No, you didn't. We get it, you are a WoW hater, way to fight conformity.

    combat is too slow...he beat on that first mob forever, then the mob runs and he chases it forever. he's tossing thrown axes at it and it still didnt die.

    Cherry pick a section of one of the videos and critique it, brilliant. By the way, it was a human player who ran to the guards when he was going to die. So you didn't even watch the videos, just knee-jerk response to a game you illogically hate.

    the landscape is lifeless and lacks detail. I saw a muddy brown ground with some tiles on the path which yes reminds me of world of warcraft.

    Does the phrase, "broken record" ring a bell with you? So let's be honest here, you have a hate-on for WoW, probably a love for AoC, and this results in a hate for WAR. Don't bother to answer, you're pathetic.

    The game reminds me too much of world of warcraft.

    Really? This red herring argument escaped me, you should have mentioned it earlier.

     

    
     

    i watched it again...and yes there was a thunderclap in there. it even had a similiar effect, a slow / root type of debuff on it. It also had the same sound effect as a warrior's thunderclap in wow.

    I hate some things about wow but overall I dont hate the game. I played it for 2-2.5 yrs on and off.

    And no Im no fan of age of conan, I lasted 5 days in that awful game.

    I saw an uninspiring boring video.

    Your attack and assumptions about me are wrong. I dont have to be a fan of aoc to dislike what I saw in that video.  I dont have to hate wow to hate warhammer as well.

    Then I digress in my assumptions. Your attacks on WAR in the first post were blanket assumptions and general complaints that you could level at any MMO.

    You obviously hate WoW. Go back and read your post.

    Choose your favorite type class and watch some videos of them. I think you are missing out by being so firm in your opinion even before launch.

     

    EDIT: I shouldn't have been so harsh in my other post. I'm no fanboy of WAR, but i've seen enough MMOs to value a company that delivers a quality product. Mythic is aces so far in my book.

    QFT  ThX for posting this shity video so I now feel way better about not buying this Piece of Shit.  Can you say fucking imbalance when a tank can kill a DPS class so easily?  ROFL here we go again.

    Ok. I guess some like it and some don't, although I encourage you to give the game a try. I like it A lot.
     

     

    Runs smooth? Relatively bug free? What are your specs??
