Here's an opinion of somebody who's actually played the game for more than 20 minutes.... (read: 2 months) It's true, you need a beast of a computer to run it at full blast. I have a pentium D 2.8. 2gigs memory, nvidia 7600gt. not a bad system. Above average i'd guess. Well I have to turn settings all the way down and still only get 20-30 fps. But hey, it's an excuse to upgrade for me Gameplay is truly unique. There are no classes. You have the choice to use every single ability in the game mixed and matched all together. The type, rank and strength of an ability give it an "equip value." As you "level up" you are able to given expanded equip value. This allows higher level players to equip better armor and more, stronger skills. You can change what abilities you take with you in between each battle. Be a healer one round and a fighter the next. There is an endless number of skill combinations. People get turned off by the game at first because it has a fairly steep leveling curve. it is very intimidating when there are 4 schools of abilities and 100's of skills in each school. But it just takes time to figure out what works together and what doesn't. That's half the fun to me. Queue times are excellent and always have been. Ranging from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. With an average of 2minutes has been my experience. I always queue up as soon as I leave a battleground and the queue is up before i have time to visit the mailbox or buy a new spell. Very little downtime.
Combat is fast paced and in the beginning when you can only equip 4-5 abilities of course you are going to be spamming the same one over and over. But when you reach rank 8 or so and can fill up you whole ability bar with attacks, heals, roots, shields, buffs, teleports, charge manipulations, etc, etc the game takes on a whole new aspect. You have to really be on your toes and think sharp to know what button to press when. If you just spam attack attack attack you will die in an instant. You gotta play smart.
Load times and increases in FPS are the only 2 things I hope Auran can drasticially improve before release. But again, maybe I just need a newer computer. I would highly recommend this game to anybody. It's new and innovative. Just get to rank 3 or 4 at least before passing judgement. Auran, you might want to consider tweaking the learning curve in some manner to hold new players attention.
lmao that sounded like an advert post... not many posters make detailed posts in such a structured mannor.
but your entire spill was what drew me to fury. but the lag. lack of acual ingame help guides and generally all around poor gameplay drew me off im a heavy PVPer. but i didnt enjoy any of fury's pvp when i acually got in to them...
besides the capture the flag one the rest kind of sucked reminded me far too much of a poor guildwars arena port ofcourse im not bothered by game graphics totally. i always turn off pretty much everything to cut down on useless lag. but even still the battle lag and general talking to npc lag was very bad.
skill effects were not impressive either if you look at some of the other lower end mmos out or coming out sure my system isnt a godly one but if it can play BF2 on almost high settings *not that i would waste my time doing so* it should run fury no problem...
from what i can find out you can only change class/skills IF you have points to spend. you cant really delete skills or recover points. atleast i never figured out how... and every time i entered a battleroom i lagged so bad loading useless ambiant junk i would die while the page was loading,
and i almost never lag. only time i do is if i set BF2 to super high settings or play on a server in asia or europe even then my latancy is like 200-250... but fury it felt like 1000
i may try fury again ... months from now closer to its gold status if it does another free beta but as it stands from what i have seen and played its not worth it. for the same pvp style i can load Guildwars. buy WoW *never going to happen* or get a free asian mmo and have the same PVP pretty much or better with lower system requirements and better spell effects
fury really needs to improve its ingame help guides cause i had no idea what i was doing 50% of the time just walking around in town and i ran across alot of other people in the same boat
Here's an opinion of somebody who's actually played the game for more than 20 minutes.... (read: 2 months)
My post was definitely first impression. I'm sure the game play gets a lot better over time..
All I'm saying is that my first impression was a painful experience. I would argue that most people generate their opinion within the first couple hours of playing so it is probably the most important thing to get right.
I have a P4 3.20 GHz, 2GB Ram, NVidia Geforce 6800 256MB... I'm pretty sure the game shouldn't run that badly, or look that ugly. I'll give it another try on the lowest settings, though, I don't think I should have to run it on the lowest settings.
Word im with you on that as well i will throw in AoC myself....furry runs like crap for me to and i gots a twinked cpu for the most part..... at least nothing close to below par for syst reqs
It's true. coding is broken, needs a hardware upgrade, something. There is no way that those horible ugly abominations that are supposed to be graphics on low renderer should require more than a 486 and 32 mb's of ram to run. Sadly, I am only exxagerating a touch.
FURY has WITHOUT A DOUBT, the best graphics of ANY mmorpg currently released. FAR better textures and art design than Vanguard. I'm running an 8800gtx, e6750 @3.7ghz, 2gb ram. Average 60-100 fps in Elimination matches.
Anyone that says the graphics are poor is a complete idiot. It's running the Unreal 3 engine, correct? That's like saying UT2007 looks like crap...wtf ?

I'm sorry, but I've got to disagree...
I honestly don't think they are anything new or special... The gameplay feels different and more like starting a PvP character on Guild Wars, which in a nutshell it is meant to be, but the graphics are nothing to write home about and yes, i had a similar problem witht he low graphics rendering, even with a high spec machine similar to yours, apparently only due to the fact i'm running Vista... Obviously Games for Windows standardisation isn't on the priority list for Auran at the moment
I myself just downloaded Fury and tried it over the weekend.
My computer is about 1year old and is fairly decent. Load times for me were long, even on lowest settings, but after it finished the loading screen and the "after-load"(Rendering and etc when you can see your character) my fps would average 60-80 and was fairly smooth in battles. So frm my experience, the loads were horrid but after it had finished it was fine.
I then tried it on my brothers computer, which is a high-end computer, about 1month old, which ofcourse it had very very short load times and absolutely no lag at all, even with maxed settings, this gave me the ability to try out Fury in both environments.
On my computer, it was very hard to play just because the first round of the matches or about 2-3mins went by before I actually got in. Whereas on my brother computer It took about 30seconds to completely load.
Anyway, they have said they are working on the performance issues so I hope they are able to get it all good soon.
Now about the rest of the game
Graphics were great when maxed, and still weren't too shabby when on the lowest settings.
Fast action gameplay and the tactics involved make it a very interesting and fun game.
Full customization in the way your character is made and played, this is my favourite part of the game so far
"Equip points" system is also very appealing.
In summary, it is a nice switch from most games out there at the moment, I recommend trying it out once the Performance and stability issues get resolved .
Love this game, even i register myself at this website to give my opinion about this game at this post, lot of crap around about graphics and bla bla bla
**graphics are gorgeous, yes you need to have a really good computer, if you dont, please, dont complain if you cant see snowflakes and get a new pc. not just beecause FURY but also for the games are about to be released in the next 6 months.
** This is PvP, 100% PvP, either u love it or you hate it, if you do love it, happy x mass, you just got the game you've been waitting for (non FPS)
**non even released, is on BETA, but, hey man, this is gonna rock, just remenber, we still at very early stage but i can see FURY evolving into a serious PvP game, not just smash buttons,skill matters, and FURY is about skill, for those who have played since day 1 GW, lets say we are at Wammo Stone Age
I think the hype describe this game pritty Good. My english isen't the best but i will try to give a fair comment about this game.
Peformence:
I am running it on a E6600, 7900GTX in SLI , 2gb. 74gb*2 raptors. Windows Vista 64.
I am satesfied with fps and sucha, i dont experience lagg in combat and thats basicly all i care about. concidering its BETA i would not complain but my rig is pritty good so i can understand those who cant even run this game smooth on low res. I got 30-45 fps with everything maxed and shadows turned of since i dont care for it. As a beta player i am not gonna judge these parts much befor release but loading time is awfull, latest patch (today) improved it a bit thoe. Poor peformence is defenetly somthing bad at this stage, seems that most comapnies rush out thiere games for some reason and it hurts this game, ALLOT. people who get sub 10 fps when they start this game at high res will probebly just shut it down and never look back. Atleast i would do so, i have heard some people getting poor peformence with 8000 serie of nvidia cards, these should run a game with this kind of graphic perfectly. Peformence have improved and i am sure it will improve allot over the month to come, that or lose customers. This game works fine with vista, i downloaded the newest graphic drivers from nvidia, befor i did that i got bluescreen every time i tryed to start the game. vista x64 is known for its many issues for gamers and even other apps but for me it runs this game fine, even thoe i only got 2gb memory. I also downloaded the hotfix for vista that was listed on nvidias website and some peformance uppgrades for vista x64. Thoe this game got some kind of memory leak, if i tab to explorer than back to game it takes well over 30 sec befor i am back in game, this with only explorer and fury running.
Gameplay:
Skill->rank/equipment. If bothe teams are really skilled rank and equipment can will make a great diffrence but a rank 7 team can defeat a rank 10 team for sure. And rank 7 is really easy to obtain.
At start its REALLY confusing, i was a bit frustrated but it takes tops.. 8-12 houers of playing to get somewhat familiar with the system, that is when you can start planning your build Experince is always a factor but just by cheaking out mentors (for what skill you can obtain from that class) you can easily plan your build. Dont expect it to be perfect, but you can change your build between battles and after a while start mixing in other class skills.
Combat is fast, really fast. Allot of strategy at high level of play. This is impossible to know for beginners thoe since it dosent show untill you get rank 8 or above. You will allways lose, there is no best team around, we have faced some of them and sometimes we win while we at other times lose. This isent because of luck, this game is so fast that you got to act allot on instinct and a wrong move can get your whole team killed. For high level of play voice chat is a must, no chans to compeat whitout it since every game is diffrent and coardination is req, allot of it. Fast thinking is also req, a healer can go down in 2-4 sec if being ganged by 2-3 damage dealer, 1 wrong move from the healer=gg.
Something that is really bad for the game is that match making isen't active. This meens that a high rank team can face a low rank pug. I can see how this turns new players away from the game but dont care to much about it, bothe teams get nice fury reward (the essence needed to get new skills and rank). Those games dosen't even last 2min but i have had games vs a high rank team last basicly FOREVER, atleast thats how it feels. Last night i was in a game, score was 1-1 and at the final round time ran out, we lost since we had a player dead but still, was allot of fun and we got a decent reward from it. I think this issue will be fixed for release, not sure thoe.
Overall i like this game, it will keep me hooked for a while and if they keep tweeking it i can see me playing it over AOC. Tho this game really needs allot of players i hope everyone gives it a fair chans. Allot of players is needed to reduce time in que for battles. It isent bad now if playing the most popular type (elimination) but the other two are hardly running. I give this game 7/10 but it would get 10/10 if it wasent for poor peformence, for me it dosent matter much but loading is terrible, plastic graphic. I dont really like the armor graphic and sucha but the overall quality is good, enviroment isent anything special. A draw back is that we keep facing low rank PUG, this is really boring, especially when we get like 5-10 easy games in row, feels like killing lvl1 NPC's with lvl 1000202 chars. I cant emagin what it must feel like for those who are low rank and keep facing high rank teams. I would probebly not play this game with old comp, maby after optemize but i tryed it on my laptop. amd 3800+, 1gb, Ati 9700, and it was playeble but not enjoyeble :P
For new players: Read manual, can be found at official website. Stick to a simple build at start (skills from only 1 class). Even if you feel that you picked the wrong class i suggest to stick with it untill rank 8 atleast.At that point you will know for sure since things change allot between rank 1-8. Keep low rank of armor, this gives you more room to play with skills and saves some cash. There is no overpowerd class, this is the best class balance i have seen, maby because you can get skills from all classes with some restrictions (some skills req a caster wep, long wep, dual wield , ect ect)
i played the preview weekend. and played for a grant total of 20 minutes. the PVP was a total joke. the class balance was a joke. the skill use layout made me want to ram my head though a wall... and the bunny hopping was totally retarded some of the maps looked like they got cloned from guildwars.... lmao and to be honust GW has better pvp which is kind of sad cause i find GW really REALLY boring and lame... i had expected to see acual skilled base PVP not a medevil wannabe FPS that sucked at doing both. sorry the graphics sucked for me course i toned them down. i never play on max settings or over load my system with garbage i dont need WHO the hell needs super high end shadows or clouds.... only morons or noobs play mmos or any pvp based game with Max settings... extra lag = death lmao... kind of sad that fury was trying to promote the game with the max settings cause i didnt even use em i had crappy graphics partly do to not using max for my system and because some of the lower end are not optimized..... which is rather odd if you think about it... graphics are normally the first thing optimized in any game so the graphical lag and memory leak issues are fixed in alpha.... all in all. fury may have potental but from what i saw its worse the autoassualt or guildwars on crack.... i cant possibly see paying a monthly sub for it even if it upgrades all that. the gameplay wasnt impressive and the balace of classes really needs work.
yes i know fury doesnt use standardized classes but it still does have base classes which you pick to start with. they need harsh balancing other wise its a lop sided pvp game...
Pleas dont waste peoples time by this kind of bs. By playing this game 20 min you know less than 1% of what it got to offer. This dosent mak you qulified to give a fair input about it. This game IS SKILL BASED. not like aim in Cs but you got to have some micromanagment skill to pull of skills from back or rear ect ect. These are skills you have never used since you played this game for 20min...

Are you running vista x64? there are some fixes for peformence. If you got 2gb or more memory you should be fine.
I was playing during the preview weekend and this game is something I absolutely would not pay money for. The graphics are horrible, the click to move was so outdated and the "press this button then this one then this one" directions were pathetic. Having you punch buttons and that's all is really just too simple, so if you're a kid that likes to smash buttons without any real skill to speak of, this is the game for you.
EDIT: By the way, the screen shots are NOT an accurate depiction of what you will see in the game world. The graphics are even less than sub par.

Where's the imbalance (you can get any skill you want you know?), slow paced, skill les combat then? I've never seen a level 20 beat a level 50 in WoW, I've seen a rank 2 beat a rank 5 in Fury quite often.

I agree that time > skill in WoW (and most other MMOs). Ten levels tends to be a very strong advantage. And worse than that was the end game gear, where if you raid for 20 hours a week you would walk on somebody of the same skill who doesn't raid or has limited time to raid. But...
My friends and I rolled 60s in tier 1-3 armor from level 20-30, all the time. If there was two of us, it was a sealed deal. A few days (when we were around 40) we chain killed 2-3 60s in tier 1-3 armor as well as 10 people our level to five levels higher than us in the bay outside of gadget. It was totally controlled by the other faction until us 3 lowbies rolled in. You just need to have a clue about the game.
Fury PvP had people running around feverishly, jumping, spinning in circles, etc. spamming 1-2 special buttons over and over. That reminds me of some of the worst stuff in WoW.
In the future I hope devs are smart and fix the issue with people running in circles while PvPing. In Lineage 2, I believe directionality didn't matter...which reduced all the stupid running around. If you were behind somebody and still getting hit, why be behind them? Slowing movement speed in PvP might also help, but there'd have to be a way to balance it in Ranged vs. Melee.
I felt like a lot of the guys posting here after my first match, however after i started advancing my character I realized this is one of the better PvP games i have played. Fast paced ,fun combat, that requires quick thinking and proper skill use to win. If you were button mashing that could be part of the problem of you not doing well and enjoying the game. If you had to aim spells and abilites the dancing would be out of control, in this game the people dancing died faster from my point of view.
Pure PvP game. 100% character advancement through killing people, the way it should be. And the gameplay is so tight its toight.
No casting times.
No mana bars.
No classes.
No restrictions on how you can set up your character.
Solo, group, and small group friendly.
The game has hundreds of abilities like guild wars, and you can get them all though pvp. You can cast any spell or use any ability while moving to your next kill. No casting interruption from damage. It uses a charge system instead of mana which is very cool move imo to keep combat moving. Avatar control is a lot like wow, hold right / hold left click to steer/control camera and WSAD for movement.
Character development is not restricted in anyway. It is the most open-ended character development I have ever seen in an mmo. You can learn any ability and set your character up any way you want to. There are no class restrictions. You gain ranks as you advance your character and you can set your rank to whatever competition level you want and even save various character item/skill set-ups on your character sheet for quick changing.

I find that HARD to believe... 2 players, level 20-30 beating level 60s.. What the f ever dude. A MAGE, NAKED can beat both ya by beating you two down. 1 spell can kill you. Oh, you don't like when people move in PvP? That's a tactic, if you can not hit the person, learn how to. I mean, damn, you sound newbish right now with lies and complaining about someone moving behind you and you're unable to hit the player.
Even if you're level 40 and I'm 60, it's near impossible to beat a 60 level. This is LEVEL game, where LEVELS set the bar. Means, you're going to miss almost all the time, do very little damage.
If it was like UO, it''ll be different because that's skill. ALL SKILL..
Wait for Dark Fall, the real upcomming MMO.
BTW, I can beat 40 level 20-30s with 1 character... At the sametime... Even after quiting the game for over a year and a 1/2...

Why the need to say 12 year old kiddos? You know, majority of the whiners are adults.... I'm an adult, and I just pity adults thinking they're better than kids just because they are older. Majority of the players are adults.... Most adults cry and whine about dying. They do not want to lose things, super cool items. That's why majority of the adults play WoW type games where they lose nothing. That's why most of the online games are not PvP.. WoW isn't PvP. It's IvI(item vs item).

fury really needs to improve its ingame help guides cause i had no idea what i was doing 50% of the time just walking around in town and i ran across alot of other people in the same boat
I think this game looks very kewl and surely will give it a try

Fast action gameplay and the tactics involved make it a very interesting and fun game.
Full customization in the way your character is made and played, this is my favourite part of the game so far
"Equip points" system is also very appealing.
In summary, it is a nice switch from most games out there at the moment, I recommend trying it out once the Performance and stability issues get resolved
.
Love this game, even i register myself at this website to give my opinion about this game at this post, lot of crap around about graphics and bla bla bla
**graphics are gorgeous, yes you need to have a really good computer, if you dont, please, dont complain if you cant see snowflakes and get a new pc. not just beecause FURY but also for the games are about to be released in the next 6 months.
** This is PvP, 100% PvP, either u love it or you hate it, if you do love it, happy x mass, you just got the game you've been waitting for (non FPS)
**non even released, is on BETA, but, hey man, this is gonna rock, just remenber, we still at very early stage but i can see FURY evolving into a serious PvP game, not just smash buttons,skill matters, and FURY is about skill, for those who have played since day 1 GW, lets say we are at Wammo Stone Age
I think the hype describe this game pritty Good. My english isen't the best but i will try to give a fair comment about this game.
Peformence:
I am running it on a E6600, 7900GTX in SLI , 2gb. 74gb*2 raptors. Windows Vista 64.
I am satesfied with fps and sucha, i dont experience lagg in combat and thats basicly all i care about. concidering its BETA i would not complain but my rig is pritty good so i can understand those who cant even run this game smooth on low res. I got 30-45 fps with everything maxed and shadows turned of since i dont care for it. As a beta player i am not gonna judge these parts much befor release but loading time is awfull, latest patch (today) improved it a bit thoe. Poor peformence is defenetly somthing bad at this stage, seems that most comapnies rush out thiere games for some reason and it hurts this game, ALLOT. people who get sub 10 fps when they start this game at high res will probebly just shut it down and never look back. Atleast i would do so, i have heard some people getting poor peformence with 8000 serie of nvidia cards, these should run a game with this kind of graphic perfectly. Peformence have improved and i am sure it will improve allot over the month to come, that or lose customers. This game works fine with vista, i downloaded the newest graphic drivers from nvidia, befor i did that i got bluescreen every time i tryed to start the game. vista x64 is known for its many issues for gamers and even other apps but for me it runs this game fine, even thoe i only got 2gb memory. I also downloaded the hotfix for vista that was listed on nvidias website and some peformance uppgrades for vista x64. Thoe this game got some kind of memory leak, if i tab to explorer than back to game it takes well over 30 sec befor i am back in game, this with only explorer and fury running.
Gameplay:
Skill->rank/equipment. If bothe teams are really skilled rank and equipment can will make a great diffrence but a rank 7 team can defeat a rank 10 team for sure. And rank 7 is really easy to obtain.
At start its REALLY confusing, i was a bit frustrated but it takes tops.. 8-12 houers of playing to get somewhat familiar with the system, that is when you can start planning your build
Experince is always a factor but just by cheaking out mentors (for what skill you can obtain from that class) you can easily plan your build. Dont expect it to be perfect, but you can change your build between battles and after a while start mixing in other class skills.
Combat is fast, really fast. Allot of strategy at high level of play. This is impossible to know for beginners thoe since it dosent show untill you get rank 8 or above. You will allways lose, there is no best team around, we have faced some of them and sometimes we win while we at other times lose. This isent because of luck, this game is so fast that you got to act allot on instinct and a wrong move can get your whole team killed. For high level of play voice chat is a must, no chans to compeat whitout it since every game is diffrent and coardination is req, allot of it. Fast thinking is also req, a healer can go down in 2-4 sec if being ganged by 2-3 damage dealer, 1 wrong move from the healer=gg.
Something that is really bad for the game is that match making isen't active. This meens that a high rank team can face a low rank pug. I can see how this turns new players away from the game but dont care to much about it, bothe teams get nice fury reward (the essence needed to get new skills and rank). Those games dosen't even last 2min but i have had games vs a high rank team last basicly FOREVER, atleast thats how it feels. Last night i was in a game, score was 1-1 and at the final round time ran out, we lost since we had a player dead but still, was allot of fun and we got a decent reward from it. I think this issue will be fixed for release, not sure thoe.
Overall i like this game, it will keep me hooked for a while and if they keep tweeking it i can see me playing it over AOC. Tho this game really needs allot of players i hope everyone gives it a fair chans. Allot of players is needed to reduce time in que for battles. It isent bad now if playing the most popular type (elimination) but the other two are hardly running. I give this game 7/10 but it would get 10/10 if it wasent for poor peformence, for me it dosent matter much but loading is terrible, plastic graphic. I dont really like the armor graphic and sucha but the overall quality is good, enviroment isent anything special. A draw back is that we keep facing low rank PUG, this is really boring, especially when we get like 5-10 easy games in row, feels like killing lvl1 NPC's with lvl 1000202 chars. I cant emagin what it must feel like for those who are low rank and keep facing high rank teams. I would probebly not play this game with old comp, maby after optemize but i tryed it on my laptop. amd 3800+, 1gb, Ati 9700, and it was playeble but not enjoyeble :P
For new players: Read manual, can be found at official website. Stick to a simple build at start (skills from only 1 class). Even if you feel that you picked the wrong class i suggest to stick with it untill rank 8 atleast.At that point you will know for sure since things change allot between rank 1-8. Keep low rank of armor, this gives you more room to play with skills and saves some cash. There is no overpowerd class, this is the best class balance i have seen, maby because you can get skills from all classes with some restrictions (some skills req a caster wep, long wep, dual wield , ect ect)
Pleas dont waste peoples time by this kind of bs. By playing this game 20 min you know less than 1% of what it got to offer. This dosent mak you qulified to give a fair input about it. This game IS SKILL BASED. not like aim in Cs but you got to have some micromanagment skill to pull of skills from back or rear ect ect. These are skills you have never used since you played this game for 20min...
I honestly don't think they are anything new or special... The gameplay feels different and more like starting a PvP character on Guild Wars, which in a nutshell it is meant to be, but the graphics are nothing to write home about and yes, i had a similar problem witht he low graphics rendering, even with a high spec machine similar to yours, apparently only due to the fact i'm running Vista... Obviously Games for Windows standardisation isn't on the priority list for Auran at the moment
Are you running vista x64? there are some fixes for peformence. If you got 2gb or more memory you should be fine.
My personal description of Fury PvP: all the bad parts of WoW PvP, without any of the good.
Well yea, maybe if bought your PC from walmart.
ps, fury sucked.

My personal description of Fury PvP: all the bad parts of WoW PvP, without any of the good.
Where's the imbalance (you can get any skill you want you know?), slow paced, skill les combat then? I've never seen a level 20 beat a level 50 in WoW, I've seen a rank 2 beat a rank 5 in Fury quite often.
Yeah, I wouldn't pay monthly for this thing.
Why are games like this called MMOs?
It's not really Massively Multiplayer.
But it reminds me a lot of Guild Wars. Which is subscription free.
But the graphics are good. A bit taxing on the system for what it outputs though. But I guess that's because it's the Beta.

I agree that time > skill in WoW (and most other MMOs). Ten levels tends to be a very strong advantage. And worse than that was the end game gear, where if you raid for 20 hours a week you would walk on somebody of the same skill who doesn't raid or has limited time to raid. But...
My friends and I rolled 60s in tier 1-3 armor from level 20-30, all the time. If there was two of us, it was a sealed deal. A few days (when we were around 40) we chain killed 2-3 60s in tier 1-3 armor as well as 10 people our level to five levels higher than us in the bay outside of gadget. It was totally controlled by the other faction until us 3 lowbies rolled in. You just need to have a clue about the game.
Fury PvP had people running around feverishly, jumping, spinning in circles, etc. spamming 1-2 special buttons over and over. That reminds me of some of the worst stuff in WoW.
In the future I hope devs are smart and fix the issue with people running in circles while PvPing. In Lineage 2, I believe directionality didn't matter...which reduced all the stupid running around. If you were behind somebody and still getting hit, why be behind them? Slowing movement speed in PvP might also help, but there'd have to be a way to balance it in Ranged vs. Melee.
I felt like a lot of the guys posting here after my first match, however after i started advancing my character I realized this is one of the better PvP games i have played. Fast paced ,fun combat, that requires quick thinking and proper skill use to win. If you were button mashing that could be part of the problem of you not doing well and enjoying the game. If you had to aim spells and abilites the dancing would be out of control, in this game the people dancing died faster from my point of view.
Pure PvP game. 100% character advancement through killing people, the way it should be. And the gameplay is so tight its toight.
No casting times.
No mana bars.
No classes.
No restrictions on how you can set up your character.
Solo, group, and small group friendly.
The game has hundreds of abilities like guild wars, and you can get them all though pvp. You can cast any spell or use any ability while moving to your next kill. No casting interruption from damage. It uses a charge system instead of mana which is very cool move imo to keep combat moving. Avatar control is a lot like wow, hold right / hold left click to steer/control camera and WSAD for movement.
Character development is not restricted in anyway. It is the most open-ended character development I have ever seen in an mmo. You can learn any ability and set your character up any way you want to. There are no class restrictions. You gain ranks as you advance your character and you can set your rank to whatever competition level you want and even save various character item/skill set-ups on your character sheet for quick changing.
Ok this should sum up the game for anyone who is thinking about playing it.
FPShooter + guildwars - PVE = Fury
this game sux. really, besides the running look like the action game anyother skills is 123456789 shortcut
I agree, played the challenge and this game is garbage...

Tried: RF Online, Ryzom, Daoc, CoH/CoV, Lotro, Vanguard, Guild Wars
Beta Tested: SWG, RF Online, Lotro, Potbs, Tabula Rasa, G&H, Perfect World

I find that HARD to believe... 2 players, level 20-30 beating level 60s.. What the f ever dude. A MAGE, NAKED can beat both ya by beating you two down. 1 spell can kill you. Oh, you don't like when people move in PvP? That's a tactic, if you can not hit the person, learn how to. I mean, damn, you sound newbish right now with lies and complaining about someone moving behind you and you're unable to hit the player.Even if you're level 40 and I'm 60, it's near impossible to beat a 60 level. This is LEVEL game, where LEVELS set the bar. Means, you're going to miss almost all the time, do very little damage.
If it was like UO, it''ll be different because that's skill. ALL SKILL..
Wait for Dark Fall, the real upcomming MMO.
BTW, I can beat 40 level 20-30s with 1 character... At the sametime... Even after quiting the game for over a year and a 1/2...
My personal description of WoW players after 2 years of playing that game, and mostly PvPing, whining 12 year old kiddos who can't think of anything else but "nerf this, nerf that".
WoW was a good game, but it's not skill based -period-.

Ted Treffon: I don't represent Hardbodies.
Osbourne Cox: I know very well what you represent. You represent the idiocy of today.
Ted Treffon: No, I don't represent that either.
Osbourne Cox: You are part of a league of morons. Oh, yes. You see you're one of the morons I've been fighting my whole life. But guess what. Today, I win.
Why the need to say 12 year old kiddos? You know, majority of the whiners are adults.... I'm an adult, and I just pity adults thinking they're better than kids just because they are older. Majority of the players are adults.... Most adults cry and whine about dying. They do not want to lose things, super cool items. That's why majority of the adults play WoW type games where they lose nothing. That's why most of the online games are not PvP.. WoW isn't PvP. It's IvI(item vs item).
