Sword of the New World family system is very cool

I am playing in Beta right now. I think the family system they have in Sword of the New World (where you control 3 characters in the game at one time) is great.  This allows you to modify your group and allows huge battles to occur. At lvl 10 mobs of 10 or more are attacking you. I initially thought that the family system would discourage grouping but it doesn't because there is tons of enemies so you still want to group up with others. After playing this game i think other MMORPGs should at least consider adding a similar system because it makes the game alot of fun. Gods and Heros is doing something similar with minions so there may be a trend developing here. You guys like the family system?

Yes I think it's a fun fast game. And the controlling of the family is fitting perfectly. If one group one wouldn't group to do things that one can do with your family and one would go 'solo' with your family on things that you can manage to do without a group. So ofcourse there is incentatives to group if one want.

I like that.

Comparing with GnH i think the pace in GE seems to be faster and GE maybe is more linear.I dont know if the minions levels are raised individually as in GE but that could make up for abig difference in focus for the controlling/playing the minions. In GE one also is able to switch who is the leader of the squad. Don't know yet about GnH besides from a few videos.

Yes the term "assault" reverberates in my mind and my family storms into new room and takes on all enemies. This is one feature that bad controls would have killed and made the game unplayable. Fortunately it runs just great.

I really do belive this game would have been more fun without the family system and just playing a solo char.  It DOES take away the need for grouping with your friends, so does the ingame bot.

Also grind to level 6x/gettin your family to lvl 6 to be able to use the open PvP kinda blows. I mean wtf is that, i grinded my first trio to lvl 33 because i really wanted to try the open pvp/pk but it just gets to boring without beeing able to kill some carebears once in a while.

 

Imo Family system is a failure.

Um you do realize no one is forcing you to use 3 characters right?  I solo alot of my characters for xp, as it is the fastest way.

I just had to laugh at you pvp statement though.  Another "leet kiddie" mad that he can't randomly PK low level people, to get his rocks off.  Without first putting in a little work. Oh boo hoo.  Cry me a river please.

You should stick to Lineage 2 or Everquest 2, there you can grief people till your little hearts content.

I  do realise that, still the whole game is built around using the 3 characters and your family.

 I might be leet, but far from kiddie. Thou i really enjoy pking loot thieves, ksers and some innocent bypassers once in a while.
Sounds to me like u are the of those "buhuu that evil man PK´d me,cry cry cry" kinda people.  Ok for me, u can do how many flowerpicking quests u want.  But i like open pvp/pk period and imo no mmorpg are complete without it.

Untill we have another game as great as Lineage 2 i really have no choice do i!
