You should do some actual research and fact-checking before you get too carried away with yourself.

 

Um...seriously Chief. Those sales aren't coming from other Blizzard products in any meaningful way at this point.

 

Amazon:

Diablo Battle Chest: ranked 472 in game sales

Starcraft: ranked 1035 in game sales

Diablo 2: ranked 981 in game sales

Warcraft 3: ranked 265 in game sales

Now, granted, that's just Amazon, but those games aren't selling nearly enough boxes to begin to add up to much in the total sales figures vs. WoW.

 

Did you look at what was ranked #1 in video games on Amazon?  That chart isn't indicative of the market. 

 

Chief, no offense, but if you think Starcraft, warcraft, and diablo box sales of very old games by comparison came even CLOSE to the 2 million boxes of WoW sold (minimum), let alone the 150 million dollars a MONTH they bring in from subscription revenues...you're off your rocker.  You're literally comparing the drop to the bucket.

A good game takes 3 years to finishing it and with fortune like Windows and Gates.

It is not possible to be done by any company. Most games of today were assmebled like computers.  All parts came from different makers and the AI is CPU. With 80286 CPU allowed the weapon to use from very begining to the end or least for 1/3 of the game. But you can buy scroll from item shop to upgrade your weapon or armors continues to use for few months.

The other P2P? Each department designed what they liked so the game became a patch game in the end. 

 

 

Did anyone understand a single sentence here? I don't understand how someone could be capable of uttering this level of incoherence.

... i got nothing..

both avg and spybot have blocked somthin on the main page today.. so its not just the op..

the one im getting is called   JS/Download.agent

one of the reasons for me at least  there was a  large lack of content once your off the first planet  wich is about lvl 25-30 if i remember right   

also there was no reason to group AT ALL when the game was released you could do basicaly ANYTHING alone..  i soloed the first 10 dungeons.. with no problems as long as i was paying at least a little attention..       then they changed that and made it nearly impossible to solo for awhile...     currently im not sure where its at but hopfuly somwhere in between..

 also alot of the skills in the game didnt work properly or at all...  there were also major balance issues anyone that played launch remembers how op the net gun was..  

i played from beta  till 3 months after release      then have done a few trails since..

i have multiple game accounts ill trade u for urs ... lol

just wondering if  this came with buddy keys.. so freinds can try it without buying.. like aoc did..  cuz im not buying it until ive tryed it even if it means i have to wait a year..

not after AoC... .. lol

... why would they extend the open beta when the headstart for CE customers started 2 -3 days ago...

... open beta has been over for 2 days..

 drlc1989@msn.com ... only thing keeping me from buying it is not being able to try it first.. dont want  the same thing that happened with AoC..

crap thought i had more then 100 posts ...  lol i got the 3 stars though..

thanks man you inspired me to resub for a month :)  

 got pissed and quit after i lost a bil.. lol..  gotta love  constant wars ...  or warping into a station to be taken out before you know wtf just happened ..  

if your not moving in combat you get hit alot harder

lol i like how you didnt show more then one of the same class and how you showed completly differant lvl charactors..  of course theres going to be a gear differance look wise between 20-80 ..   but most of the end game gear.. or crafted gear looks exactly the same.. just differant colors..

hmm ill try it agin :) 

can i have one please?

Hi all, I will be starting AoC soon so I was wondering which classes are currently doing the best DPS?

I would imagine it was meant to be one of the rogue or mage classes but I have heard the priests are doing great DPS at the moment?

So in your opinion and experience which class has highest DPS right now?

I have played every class except the following, Priest of Mitra,Guardian. Event hough I havent played those two classes my friends have, and I have seen them played so I know how their mechanics work.

 

The best casting dps hands down is (Demonologist)

The best AOE melee dps is (Barbarian)

The best single target dps is (Assasin)

The best tank overall (Guardian)

THe Best group support tank (Dark Templar)

The best DPS tank (Conquerer)

The best buffer/healer dps melee (Bear Shaman)

The best healer is  (priest of mitra)

The best Support healer/Nuker hybrid is (tempest of set)

The Best long range melee dps is (Ranger, traps from current gameplay are 1 minute CD)

The Best dot spells are from the (Necromancer, micro management class) (2nd best magic based dps)

The best hybrid melee based dps is the (Herald of Xotli) (most combat skills require a 2 handed sword or club, this is a mage type class)

actyaly barbarian hits alot harder then assassin even on single targets..    especialy in pvp cuz we dont have reach and all you have to do is move an inch away and our combos will miss... also assassins have no cc unless you count feats.. then u get a single stun/confuse at lvl 60  if you go corruption    you get a knockdown at around 30 with lotus tree but it doesnt work in pvp

I am including feats in my response, sorry if I didnt post it.  Assasin does do single strongest melee dps comming out of stealth however hands down, after stealth breaks and regarding multiple targets, the barbarian hands down does the most dps. Barbarian is not as good as the Assasin though as far as stealth goes, and he doesnt have as much of a +damage out of stealth attack.  I have compared both of these running stealth at full skill level 1-30.  You are right though once out of stealth, the barbarian does hit much harder then the assasin ONLY when using a 2-hander however.  Assasin will always out-dps an a barbarian single target, as long as the assasin starts in stealth.

i have both assassin and barbarian 40+..   at 45 my asssins  "backstab"  wich is the from stealth attack..  does about 800-900 dmg..    on my barbarian the same attacks does between 700-800..  thats not a big differance..   and once the combat starts barbarian out damages assasin in all aspects dual wielding and 2h..    the dps differance on our weapons is part of the problem..   the barbarians dual weild weapons have 50+ dps.. on the low 40 weapons..   on my   daggers i have 41.5 dps...  thats with the +5 dps bonus i got from my gear..             and a barb 2h weapon has almost 70dps on it..   not tho all these have the same attack speed..   so his swords/axes swing the same speed my daggers do..

as it was just released i expect this to change a bit..  but   Right Now  Barbarian does more dmg to both single and multiple targets then a assassin can do even counting the from stealth attack..  yea we get a bonus 100-200 dmg on the first attacks  you can make that up with a barb in 2 swings.. Easily..

as it stand currently the barbarian is better then the assassin in almost every way..  it has all the bonuses assassin gets but none of the disadvangates

for example  the "backstab" that assassin get is a huge chunk of the damage they do..   barbs also have the same thing..

assassin can take maybe 1-2 combos if taht in pvp before they die..  barbs can take 4-6.. usualy

barbarians have CC    assassins have None   unless you count snap kick.. which is a knockdown and DOESNT WORK in pvp

barbarians weapons have insane dps compared to assassin weapons..

at lvl 40 a Good assassin weapon has about 40 dps...  a good barbarian weapon has almost 60 dps.. and im talking a good barbarian duel weilding weapon not a 2h weapon.. a good barb 2h weapon has about 70 dps.. at least the ones ive seen..   

so currently barbarians have more health/armor/damage and CC  then assassins     hopefuly this will be fixed ..

i think part of it is a  a driver issue  in the pvp beta i was getting 25+ fps.. always unless i was in a Big fight..      now im lucky if i get 15+  most of the time..   one thing that help my fps alot at first was switching from shader model 3.0 to 2.0 and turning off water reflections completly    to can do those 2 things without losing much graphics quality  if your going for good graphics     

personaly im gonna see if my video card is working without problems  by the end of the month.. if it isnt i might not subsribe or i might just go get an 8800 gts.. since there only about 100$ right now

its a problem with ati cards  should be fixed soon  alot of people with varieying  ati cards are having the same problems.. i have a x1550 its a bit older then yours i think but its still playable for the most part..   basicaly im just waiting it out till the dev team gets off there  vaction and starts fixing everything agin

Add in the fact realistically it would take everyone currently left playing ( all 20 of them) to grind for a few months just to get everything they would need to build/buy put a cap ship into service.

 

Did the vet trial and loaded up my really old toon and on my home galaxy of naritus I saw 4 people  over the entire week I played. Europe-Chimera server showed a heavy load, and only saw maybe 10 people when I rolled a toon on it.

 

/sigh, ah well.

 i mean eisly was packed... yea most of the other zones are dead.. but still its not as empty as you said.. i saw over 100 people while i was doing the  noob quest line..
