Then you've probably played 90%+ of all console/PC games for the past 2 decades, at least 10 hours a day, skipping 60% of your school, being among the top ranked players in major national tournaments. Big titles like Unreal Tournament, Half Life, Star Craft etc.

    
     

    LOL, like playing games 10 hours a day is something to brag about.

• • Jolt Online Review 8.4 / 10

  • How can they give it a 8.4 and say it's unfinished at the same time?  Unfinished = max of 5 in my book, then throw in all the technical difficulties, it's a solid 2.5 at best.

• • AoC will be as successful as LoTRO (and no more)

  • I got to level 40 fairly quickly, 10 days after release, then I quit.

    You only gave it 10 days?  I guess you've not played too many MMOs, unfortunatally most of them are released with a bunch of bugs, missing content, etc etc etc.  AoC is no different.

    My reason was PvP and an underlying flaw with how it is set up.

    Not bothered about 'ganking', I am bothered though by the lack of direction PvP is going or rather the direction it could be going. There are no factions and race makes no difference either. So it seems that it is all about guilds vs guilds. When you compete it will all be in a siege again in an instance.

    Correct, AoC is about guild/seige warfare.  If you'd done minimal research about the game before you bought it you'd known that and could have saved yourself some money by not buying it.

    Since there is no faction any AoE spells cast hit everyone, friend, foe, mob everyone. How on earth is that going to work later on?!

    AE spells don't hit group members, so the rather simple and obvious solution is to invite your friends to your group before you start raining down AE spells.

    Also another gripe was the blatant hacking going on; speedhacking, levitatiion as well.

    That did happen in beta so I read, although I never saw it actually happen in-game.  It was fixed before the game was released.

    So is there a talent system in place so I can specialize my toon a bit ? I really dont like being the same cookie-cutter class / skill as everyone else.

    I will usually purposely pick the least popular class and / or talent spec and run with it. (unless its completely unworkable)

    
    The talent system, feats, is pretty good.  There are 2 class specific trees and a smaller 3rd tree that's shared with all classes in the same archtype.  Each class specific tree has two feats at the bottom and you get enough points to either take both bottom talents in a tree, or take 1 of the bottom talents and still go pretty deep into one of the other trees. 

    Additionally, there are also skills, hiding, perception, climbing, mana regen, mana tap (returns a bit of mana everytime you nuke something), bandaging, concentration, and the interface looked like there was room for some others, maybe get those later?  These of course being the caster skills, I didn't play melee much so I'm not sure what kinds of skills they get.

    We'll have some options when it comes to customizing our characters.

    That is the truth. And a dissappointing one. You cant enter a bar without a loading screen. And when you do, you are all alone with your npcs.

    I found open beta sorta fun. But realizing keeps will be instanced, at least for the sieges, that border kingdoms doesnt hold much acc. to official word, and as a casual player I might get to do a siege once a month IF I AM LUCKY or not at all..

    So what is there to do? Running down these preplanned little paths? To only zone from place to place and run your quests?

    I miss pre cu / nge SWG a lot now. I realize it will never come back, but this game is so linear I am beginning to regret my CE preorder and the early play registered...

    I am not even sure I bother any more... I tried to stay positive since beta... even wrote a few positive posts... but it is everything I feared it would be ... pretty and empty with no "roleplay" to it ... hardly anything massive... 

    Gratz for getting psychic abilitites and being able to tell what end-game is going to be like based on the newbie levels...but you should go get your money back because your psychic abilities suck.

    Oh and nice sig, I'm so F'in happy I know what kind of case you have, that's soo sweet, I can't even begin to tell you how much better I feel knowing this tid bit of information.  Oh and that's a sweet power supply, 850w, wow, what a beast.  Seriously, that's a great sig, I think I'm going to make one like that because I know there are hundreds, maybe thousands or even millions of people out there that want to know what kinda of cooling system I have on my cpu.
