WAR canceled, DAoC re-subscribed

Post by Adaar »

WARs not cutting it anymore, not even curing my altoholic symptons. Land of the Dead, bah. Already subscribed to DAoC with my *cough*bot*cough* account. Dont really wanna return to Alb Perc, or Gareth. Just fooling around at the moment on the larger cluster. If anyone still plays, and could use some company, lemme know where you reside, names and times you normally play. Hell, BTW 8 man KoV groupage on perc, I'll bring the pally! Or Classic.

Dislikes:
Main reason, it feels too much like a Free 2 Play, Japanese game. Feels like I should not be paying for it.

No spell/skill queues.

Small zones, no where to roam. (I loved DAoC/WoW zones, large, many places to camp, explore)

That corney music that starts up every single time you go into combat (this can be fixed by turning it off I believe.)

Simple quest, nothing new.

The fact there is even the point and click movement option in the game.

Races, racial abilities. Besides the nice character customization, there are no races, besides the 2 realms. Playable races.

Likes:
Graphics are decent.

No lag, or server problems that I've seen so far.

Awesome Character Customization. Still dont make up for no races.



-------This is all about from me playing lvl 1 to 10 on a Mage. Haven't gotten any further yet. Haven't done any PvP. Or gotten the wings.

Put down the crack pipes! Aion is fantabulous!

It's less linear as you progress -- it's just linear early on, to intro you to the game and guide you through. But that early game passes pretty quickly.

Great crafting, balanced, great performance. They made a design decision to not include certain things (spell queues), but you get used to it. The lack of external mods is going to be a good thing -- you actually have to decide who to heal from your party instead of some mob healing the most damaged person for you. . .

For me it's all about how the end game is going to play out, but from all I see and hear it should be fun, competitive, and balanced. I'd urge everyone to try it for a while and not judge based on the first 10 or 20 levels of play alone. Getting to 25 isn't even that hard -- I made 22 in a weekend last Beta event.
MMO's Played Include The Realm, Meridian 59, UO, AO, AC2, DAOC, WOW

Planning on playing it until end game, but from lvl 1-10 it hurt to play.
