I heard about this game only a few months back and it looks really interesting. The first videos I watched were on the telegraphs and my reaction was along the lines of "seriously this is your idea of innovation?" But then I saw the housing video and the race intros and the characters/art is just so ridiculously endearing to me. Plus the setting is pretty much ideal for what I like in games. I like the "paths" system but I really hope it can be implemented well and stuck-to. I mean some days I want to smack the poo poo out of some bad guys but some other days I'd love to just build my flying house/guild fortress or craft or something. Hell, if they can pull off the housing and guild forts the way they're saying they will, that might just make the game for me. I love the idea of two guild forts pummeling the poo poo out of each other hundreds of feet in the air. tl;dr: please please please be good (but it probably won't maybe, thanks mmo-cynicism)

Doesn't look like anyone's posted this yet. 45 minutes of video a good chunk of which is dedicated to player housing (including the DevSpeak posted above). Looks absolutely awesome. Warning, intro is loving loud and annoying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vtl_tBRPWDU

Someone got a camera on a demo for 41 minutes at PAX. The guy says he has another 40 minute segment of video he'll upload after some editing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veB3Qf6dvgE

I'm personally really burned out on the combat in most MMOs. I've played everything from EVE to WoW to GW2 and a ton of little MMOs in between and I'm just so goddamn tired of it. I still do it because I know it, but I've started to treat managing a guild as a game because of how bland everything else is. At this point Builder or Scientist looks so ridiculously attractive. I can build towns and stuff for guilds/people to use? I sincerely hope they release a video expanding on that soon. Can I build towns in open world? Is it just upgradtes to existing towns? Questions like that. I'm trying so hard not to get hyped up for this game after my GW experience.

The combat still worries me a bit for some of the reasons people mentioned in the thread so far. It looks a little boring and their reliance on the telegraph mechanic for literally EVERYTHING might either be a boon or a bane. Not sure yet, gotta see it. Also I don't think the build they've been showing off has the combat totally fleshed out. They keep using that lizard dude with claws instead of some of the potentially more interesting classes and weapons.

Fuuuuck I want to be a builder. The production quality on the videos (the ones with the animated characters ofc) are mind-blowing. It is like an up-to-date WoW plus Pixar plus cartoony Firefly. Every video I see just ups the hype. Here's hoping we don't get another GW2.

As long as the movement and combat is smooth and polished it really doesn't matter if its amazingly innovative or whatever. WoW's combat is decidedly simplistic (compared to some other examples that include dodge rolling or combo fields or ability combos or what have you) but the reason it is so good is because of the polish they put into movement and ensuring that the game feels responsive and smooth. If they can pull that off then I'll be satisfied with combat.

Awkward guy in black suit on a beach with bikini's tanning in the background, talking about how much of a market the West has for 50 cent roses where guys can buy for girl characters in games, where the most popular girl gets a special item because she received the most roses... talking about ice breakers etc. Judging from the reaction of others I am thankful that I can barely follow your post in the slightest. Please stop posting

Miles O'Brian posted:I really want to like the engineer but the thing that kills it for me is the slowdown in movement speed whenever you do anything. I love the idea of engineer. But the problem is I ran into a brick wall around 14 or so where I just couldn't kill poo poo without popping my R every single mob. I don't know if I was undergeared or what, but my bots felt useless (despite 'speccing' for them), my "tankiness" just wasn't there (despite stacking grit), and my damage output wasn't high enough (even when built for it) to win the arms race. All that plus zero self-heals (which is ok by itself, but with all the rest of the problems...) makes me think engineer needs some hard work. I pretty much agree with your post too btw. Sigh. I just want to be a robot-commanding dominion maniac bent on destroying the exiles and building pretty pretty houses. SIGH
