Thats how a combat system should work, finally a real MMO.

Other then that, im in peace right now.

And all the trolls can go and *¤#" themselves....again.

While this is a step in the right direction it's not a giant step.  They have had videos before. 

So seriously DF fanboys you got thrown a bone with this video.  Nothing more nothing less. 

You're all sitting around gloating with hard-ons over what, a video?  You're not playing a G-damn thing yet.  Until then stfu and try and show a bit of class and maturity.

If this games comes out and it's all that it's cracked up to be then tear into the trolls.  Until then... Shhhhh

1) everything looked and felt stiff....i know anuimations will be subject to improvement....but i wasnt blown away by it

2) lands seemed really empty

3) alot looks staged,,,in fact...there was very little in game footage

4) the crafting UI part...i could have sworn we seen something like that previously....

5) the ui itself...bleh

6) i just don't get the hype for this game...while it looks good on paper, we still haven't really seen anything substantial. I would love for it to be real....but i still get the nagging - Mourning feeling. I will wait and reserve judgement if it ever gets released and people play it

You never played a skill based, sandbox game did you ?

See all that land ? There to be built on by the players.

See all those houses ? There to be build by players and burned down by their enemies. No "player city areas" in this game.

See all those vehicles ? There to be built  and take them where you want to.

See all those mounts ? There to move your char around but be careful, they can be killed and you knocked off it.

See all those armors and weapons ? There (any one of them) to be build by players.

See those characters ? There to be formed as you want it, not some dev who thiks they know better than you.

 

does SWG for almost 5 years count?

what makes your "resume" so much better than Mine?

assume - makes an ASS out of U and ME

remember that

"does SWG for almost 5 years count?"

Not really

game looks really really bad.

eh...looks worse than the previus vidoes...reminds me of dark and light

yes you are i think. the graphics look like they are from a game from 2003 at best...

Even Asherons Call 2 back in 2002 had graphics that blew this away. As well as animations...

 

nope he is not =)

I think the animations need to be improved some, but for the setting the graphics are perfect.

Also not better than AC2...ps no one is taking you seriously anymore you know that right?

Gameplay > graphics...and the graphics arent even that bad, just not super high quality.  Plenty good enough to enjoy the game and lose yourself in it.

I'll say it again, the brief comment on graphics.

The character models look good, nothing extraordinary, but OK, so do the armors and weapons. The areas look rather bland and devoid of detail considering they are ahndcrafted and the effects (spell/water/stuff), look horrible.

I really, really don't like that they only showed zooomed in snippets of the UI. YOu don't get ONE single shot of the UI as you would play the game, it's always zoomed in close for some reason.

Combat looked fast and chaotic, which I suppose will be fun, though the animations look...a little like the spell effects.

Anyway, some nice stuff in there, but not what I had hoped for. Still, signed up for the Beta so I might see for myself.

wow really? is this a serious post?

They are really really reaching now folks, and the best part is no one is listening to them.  We are all too busy enjoying the video, feeling good about being right in the DF drama, and signing up for beta.

very little in game footage?  It has been awhile since my calc classes in school, but im pretty sure "100%" in game footage is a more than "very little"

That and I watched the video and you know...saw it myself.

Be a good little fanboy and get in Beta, then make a video with fraps showing us UI and all the awesome features that are promised. Thank you!

Age of Conan and Vanguard both have hardly any players and their graphics are the best on the market. LotRO is running off the same engine as Asheron's Call 2 (which at the time was so intensive no one could play). And the biggest game right now? WoW, which has TERRIBLE graphics, with WAR close behind, which has a more stylized DAoC/WoW hybrid of graphics.

As a final note, there's no way collision detection, physics, twitch combat, and massive battles can all happen if the graphics were Age of Conan level. Remember AoC amazing PvP? Neither do I, thats cause you can't get  more than 30 people fighting before it goes to hell.

   Impressive.  The grafix were better then expected but the character movment looked a little robotic but what game doesent ( not a big issue). If its actuall game play they have really done well with the blood and facial feature effects etc. Nothing like seeing the pain on your victoms face as he goes down ;). I hope there will be an actual beta to see if they can deliver all they have promissed.

I want to play so badly it hurts.  Beta please come my way.

The feeling you get from watching these live ingame battles is great.  I put myself in the shoes of some of the people playing for the video and just think how cool it would be.

Im walking with a couple of my friends, maybe after we just took down a pve mob with some great loot.  Then all of a sudden they start dropping one at a time...there is an archer somewhere.

I start feeling scared because we have this loot we need to protect and we are about to lose it.  Heart starts pumping a little because of the real pvp consequences so i take cover.

Then i see the archer in the tree as he takes out another one of my friends.  I line up my spell and knock him off to his doom, and we all breathe a sigh of relief.

This is real pvp.  Real immersion.  A truly real experience.  Something this genre needs badly.

What features did you NOT see in the video? This was all free roaming camera of the devs playing, cut down from an entire terabyte of data. Only thing that looks staged is the final shot, and a few of the ambushes maybe. And there are obviously the things like the ship fighting where they needed to coordinate the arrival of different fleets, but that's a far cry from scripting. And you saw the UI, same UI thats in the screenshots. Very small UI with a command bar.
