You sir, have just succeeded in making a fool of yourself. Congratulations.Feriluce said:
OT: This game looks truly interesting, I can't even say how many times I've wished I could just switch over to a controller and kick back on the couch. Sure it may not be great for the more intense parts of the game but in those slower more relaxed parts it would be absolutely brilliant. I'll be keeping an eye on this game and look for more gameplay vids closer to launch. Might just buy it for the sake of checking out since I know several people who will buy it just for having the choice to use a controller.
All in all looking like a brilliant game, looking forward to it.
actually reminds me of the crystal woods in the dalaran zone in wow (sorry not played in a while) so ya i can deff see the wow aspects to it
Jumping in MMOs is purely cosmetic. It's not a platformer, it's not a puzzle game, it's meant to be an RPG. If you're not intended to go a certain direction because it was designed for you to take the long way around instead then the addition of a jump button isn't going to make the devs go "Ahhh you got us, you foiled our carefully planned assault course of death to get to your objective", they'll just make the ledge higher.Abedeus said:
So for the wow clone thing... I can honestly see it having some wow clone aspects. Art style, GUI art style,(minus how your hotkeys are moved to a box in the corner as opposed to a line across the bottom.) general game play mechanic of Make zone, add roaming monsters that randomly path. kill monster for trash loot and exp and complete kill x monster to complete Y quest or for Z drop.
I could even go so far as the overall gameplay mechanic is somewhat cloney..
The only real differences that I see.. is the ability to map to a controller which I genuinely applaud. (DDO does it quite well, so I could see that as good) and the only real innovative hook I saw was the collision damage engine, which is really not as innovative as it might seem considering games like EQ have that to some effect where different spells and skills have differing ranges like line of sight, Aoe, PBR, etc.
As for graphics... Honestly not impressed. Its unreal 3 engine.. which was cutting edge like oh 2-4 years ago. It has the potential to look good, But I think that the art style sort of stands in the way of it.
The ONLY thing I can genuinely say looks like a major direct ripoff of wow is the world map looks alot like azeroth, only with the WoTL landmass connecting the two continents.
But Im not going to call it a wow clone, More accurately call it an MMO clone. The gameplay seems really standard fare. This seems like a type of game that is going to be viewed more like a refinement of the prior MMO generation standards, than a next generation MMO, which after games like DCUO and ToR launch, this will likely be buried.

Actually, hilariously enough, there is one or two bits in World of Warcraft that require the use of jumping! As far as i can remember they would be the Blackrock Depths and Wailing Caverns. Early on they require the player to jump across two to three platforms, or in WC it was just jump from one ledge to the next, to continue. I kid you not, the jump button actually had a function!Deshin said:
Looks like a blend between Aion and WoW. As for the whole "you're more involved in combat" mechanic, Age of Conan took a crack at that but that doesn't stop it from having a meagre, small subscription base. I think most MMO players really don't care about how 'involved' the combat or gameplay aspect is. In fact they're perfectly happy just clicking abilities and they pride themselves into getting into a solid rotation, occasionally deviating it to suit the new patches and gear they acquire.
Actualy I've played god knows how many MMORPG's and I have found only 2 that suit me (Room for more) World of Warcraft, and Requiem: Mometo<(Spelling) Mori... and I am looking toward the upcomming Star Wars MMO... and Guild Wars 2... Didin't like GW 1 (It sucked...)... any way, yea, that kinda reminded me of World of Warcraft... oh, and Yes I have played WoW... 2 level 80's Cavala(Tarylon) Arthena(Khaz Mordan) look'em up.Vilcus said:
And this....is where you lost me. How can anyone not sound like an idiot when they say, "This game looks so awesome! I can not only grind for endless hours (in gameplay that looks like a cross between the worst MMO and third-person shooter I've ever seen) so I can level my character, but I can do it while lounging! I CAN'T WAIT!"PurpleSky said:
It may not be trying to copy World of Warcraft thematically, but other than that, I'm comfortable calling it a WoW clone. It's a mindless, over-bloated grind-fest with uninspired design and little to no narrative. Show me evidence to the contrary, seeing as the video did nothing of the sort, and maybe I'll change my mindset. 'Till then....not interested.
Just gonna ask, what exactly makes this look like WoW to you, besides the fact that it has an interface, and leveling system, what makes this seem like Wow?Valdric_gundam said:
I've played WoW for a few years off and on. I have a level 80 Human Death Knight on Uldum named Vilcus (I use that name for pretty much everything), but my account is inactive so he won't show up in the armory. However you can find him here:
It's a long list, but he's in there.
I'm not saying you're wrong (an opinion can't be wrong), but what I am saying is that this doesn't look like WoW to me... so please, I'm genuinely interested in what makes this game look like WoW (in any way shape or form) to you.
Yes. It's the new 'thing' - Being able to dodge attacks. Guildwars 2 has implemented it as well. Looks sweet, but not my interest.razer17 said:
OT:
I'm completely biased towards GW2. I'm sorry, but this just wouldn't cut it for me. And no, it's not a clone of the dreaded you-know-what.
Oh god no, please pardon them for such a grievous error. It must be the apparent retardation.Kenko said:
Don't flame just because of a difference of opinion dude.
