    it is the model blizzard will use with diablo 3.

    I dont know if it is speculation or not, but suits the strong story arc  concept of bioware.

• • Can anyone give me a fair review?

  • a fair short review would be:

    AOC is a ok game. Probably if it had not been hyped by both players and developers , most would accept it for what it is, a diiferent game.Problem is when you have a ok product, market it as the next big thing, promisse all kind features for years... well.. in that scenario, when the players get it, and find half the things promissed are not there or are not working, they complain. And with reason.

    And when those some players find out that even the things that are in the game are 3/4 done, they complain more.

    so, in a concise manner, what will you find in AOC

    good graphics and sound

    A decent attempt to give the player both a quantitative and qualitative gaming experience

    an interesting combat system

    the usual stuff you'll find in other mmorpgs.

    what will you complain about in about 3 or 4 weeks of playing

    the fact that half the stuff that was hyped for months is not there

    the terrible itemization, something that compromisses character development

    the lack of content after lvl 55-60. What sadly brings another consequence: due to the fact you'll end up grinding more than what you should, the leveling process tends to burn out some players even on the new combat system.

    the endgame situation, that, at lest till 3 weeks ago, was ..terrible

    the fact that the promissed fixes are often mere optical ilusions, Funcom might release patch after patch every week but has not yet adressed pivotal points.

    so bottom line.. yes the game worth playing?

    yes if you take an approach of "i'll play it while i have fun", and not "this is going to be my next mmorpg",

  • There was a lot of... i even have problems callinhg it lies, ove rthe first month or so. Currently, in august, i dont think the defense being made by most defenders go in that line. there was a shift,, from " i play AOC cuz it's the best MMORPG everz" to "play the game because I like (insert reason)". What is fair, legit, acceptable. And honest.

    While I have no answer for this, there is a precedent.
    
    In WoW they simply added a stat, I can't remember what its called now, that prevented one-two shot kills from critical hits.
    
    Now while crit isn't nearly as common in AoC, my guess is that they will come up with an anti-gem stat and a rose by any other name would smell as sweet...
     

    Blizzard concocted a lot of other crap to deal with gems too, stats, but I didn't know what those were called even when i was playing the game
