    I made this video just for you. The first half of the video I'm just auto attacking, then the second half I show how fast you really attack when you are using your special skills. It's a 3.4 speed 2H Weapon. It doesnt seem any slower than any other 2H weapon in any other game.

    Sorry about the quality, you tube destroyed it and so did WMV compression ~_~.

    I was responding to that statement.  it dose seems slower to me; a lot slower.  if you disagree or have had a diffrent experiance then me thats ok.  no need to spaz out on the cap lock
     

    So 3.4 seconds turns into 40192841029890283109283123.4 seconds and, obviously, WAR is slow and boring?

    Did anyone even pay attention to when he added skills into the mix? Does anyone know of any game that has a faster AA with a SLOW weapon? Seriously. Add 2 and 2 together. It's not that hard!

    This is obviously a case of "You need to play it before you judge it", because the most popular MMO - WoW - looks boring in videos. But when I played it, it was faster and more fun.

     

    
     

    not sure why you guys are flipping out about this, its dumb really.  i never said 3.4 seconds was longer then 3.4 seconds or whatever.  im saying 3.4 seconds is slow period.  i never said the game was boring and im not judging anything.  and i did in a previous post mention that the skill attacks seemed fine to me.  you guys really need to chill out noones attacking you personaly and im not saying anythin negative about the game nor did i complain once about anything.

    Ill make this as clear as possable Im saying that I have never seen a two handed weapon in any game i have ever played as slow as 3.4 seconds.  that is not a comentary on the games playablity or quality of experance it is simply a statement based on my personal gaming experance.  If to you that is a normal interval based on your gaming experiance then we natural have played very diffrent games and classes.

    now grow up

    FFXI weapons are based around .8 seconds bare hand then the weapons add delay,usually around 1-3 seconds,so yes the end result would be around 3-4 seconds for any of the larger weapons.Even the knives in FFXI are around a total of 2 seconds,and they are the fastest weapons,well bare hands would be fastest.This is called REACTIVE combat,you actually get a chance to react to the mob or opponents initial attack.Think of it as two swordsmen in a real life battle.They would pop in and out ,they wouldn't just go right in and swing there sword wildly 5 times in 10 seconds,they would use stratedgy.

    I am not attacking you,so don't get all ancy again plz, i am just saying you havn't been around enough games to understand it all.

    Evidently you never played the game Mr Bloodworth, that, or you simply wearing oddly co.ored sunglasses.

    You seemingly have a problem with Blizzard.  At least they fixed their product which is significantly more than falicom has managed to do with AoC. 

    The primary problem with AoC was it was horribly out of sync with what it was advertised to have.  Couple that with poor communication practices, and faulty patching, and you have a recipe for disaster, ergo Age of Conman.

    No one was raped by playing WoW.   They made a fun, working product, which is infinitely more than FC is able to do with AoC.

    Cut them slack?  I dont think so.  You cut them some and continue to pay for that broken pos.

    You just reiterated EXACTLY what Blizzard does but again i see the same Things.Lets cut up funcom and there NEW game but cut Blizzard some slack.

    How do you know you wern't raped by wow?What if they took out failed content ,you would never know because they don't like to communicate with the public at all.You say they fixed WOW ,therefore you cut them slack?Well FUNCOM is attempting to fix there issues,yet you  don't give them the same time frame.In case you didn't read the interview on Bizweekly,Blizzard after 5 years stil lemploys a lot of people to work on there updates/patches,witch means there system is stil lfailing or not?

    The other problem is when people use VAGUE statements like "WOW is a FUN product"it is? lol it is EXACTLY the same thing as ALL other MMORPG's,But wiuth inferior graphics/textures/models.How do you figure killing mobs is any more fun in WOW than ANY other game?geesh ,it really shows how  the term "Fanbois" came abou,they deserve to be raped by BLizzard .In case you havn't followed RPG's for oh say the last 20 years......you engage in melee or magic,that's it,you use your best spells/armour/weapons and kill the mob,there is nothing more to it.ONLY FFXI actually offers a unique combat system that can actually be fun ,especially for a newer player,it wil lget old after many years.Since we are on the AOC topic,they actually tried to incorporate a unique combat system as well,WOW offrs NOTHING to combat uniqeness at all,so saying it is more fun >>>>RFLMAO.

    This game WILL happen,you can bet on it.as far as a release date,beta for november release for early december.This is what has to happen for any success.I don't think the PVP will live up to my expectations,but mine are very high.I think for the averagePVP'r that just likes to go out and kill,they will be very happy with this game.To me it looks like a PVE world with Full out PVP added in.That is where the problem lies,the game world is not designed for skillfull PVP,too bad too because with FPS like reactions it could have been very good.

    
     

    PvP wasnt added to a PvE world.

    PvP have been the one of the developers main focus from starters. Its not something that have been added afterwards.

    Game world is designed for large and small scale PvP. Conquests.

    You missed the point.It may have been there focus of the game,and the true design of the game,but i guarantee you will see open areas with a few dotted rocks and trees,nothing that offers skillful PVP.As a matter of fact i would say the entire terrain in this game is most likely done with a terrain editor,nothing designed around PVP at all.I did notice the inside castle video,that had a few hiding areas[they show a guard hiding in a crevice] or areas that offer decent PVP,but really it was just a normal castle and not actually designed for PVP.

    I know what to expect from such a small staff,like i said terrain editor,some quick mobs dotted around there dungeons,a few trees/rocks ,i wouldn't expect anything more.

    I respect Blizzard for their business thinking in a gaming world where most people don't even know how to give away free stuff Blizz manages to sell rocks, the graphics are just perfect to reach the masses lets face it 70% of gamers don't have the necesary PC power to run hardware intensive games so WoW can be played on any PC in the world right now, so no one thinks "hey i won't play WoW cause my PC won't run it".

    The whole goal of Blizz is to reach the masses and that is just what they are good even perfect at doing.

    I'm not a fan boy or anything i see WoW as just another mmo with lots of subs and with nothing really new in it, but other people see it as perfection, when was the last time someone said that WoW is buggy or stuff like that?Never, and it will never happen.And untill someone manages to get a launch with a perfect running game the masses will still flock to what they see as "Perfect".

    Well i do tend to agree about reaching masses,but after some thought ,i decided not really.You see why are people who have terrible systems using them for gaming?You can easily buy a console system for cheaper than just the video card alone and you would have no BIOS issues,no configuring ,really no problems at all.

    So in IMO if you are using PC's for gaming you should be able to afford at least a gaming standard machine.Most games do not require big rigs at all,as a matter of fact most newer tech is never around when these games were designed,so you should be fine with very average machines.The problems are usually drivers and tweaking,RAM and a decent cpu,not getting into dual or quads because games don't utilize them.

    The other reason WOW shouldn't get subs based solely on ease to run,is that you can get the exact same thing even with better graphics on F2P games.I mean lets face it ,most players are just speed leveling and PVP,anything you can easily get in a F2P game,but with nicer graphics.So i don't buy the theory most are playing it because it runs easily.

• • Guys if you ever played UO,SWG or Eve please try this game!

  • I finally tried it again,and it does seem a little better than what i remembered but it is not that good even still.Try the editor and you will see how few options this game has.I guess if you want to mosey around in a free world its average but i have seen better F2P games for sure,not that any have ever met my expectations.

    After many many tries of F2P games,they all talk the talk but in the end there free for a reason,they lack content and are real weak in several areas.
