I completely forgot this game came out. I am very interested. So I have a few questions.
I still currently play Dark age of camelot. I love the rvr/pvp system. In this game what is the pvp like exactly?
Can I really make a character completely out of the blue and my own vilian?
Is their leveling in this game?
What about questing or raids?
What is considered "end game"?
At "end game" what do you do then?
The most important question, do you like it?

As it is right now, I wouldnt recommend it. Wait a bit till they sort out the mess they have made of the game in the last week of it goin live.
It was awesome in OB, and even in the Head Start, then they did a major patch thats pretty much screwed the game for alot of people.
Dax.
Well, the customization is awesome. I think the poster above is right, though. Not a great time to jump in, unless you mind having your characters abilities adjusted after you've gotten used to them.
In OB, most of the classes were fun to play, and the travel powers were awesome. Some classes really felt like "easy mode" compared to others (*cough* force *cough*). Now that it's live, it looks like they've decided to tinker with stuff....
It is a lot of fun. I doubt you'll get the pvp experience you're looking for out of this though.
I'm just waiting for a F2P overhyped sandbox WoW clone with full PVP, epic raid bosses, instanced group content, and Crysis-quality graphics to come out. That, or something fun.
Its a great game. IF you like to die alot. They made it a lot harder recently and it sucks. You have to team up now to get anywhere and NOT die so much. :-( I wish I could have my money back now.
Proud MMORPG.com member since March 2004! Make PvE GREAT Again!
You die alot LOL ,so noobish
hmm maybe create game for you guys ..you can kill evry1 with one shoot..i'll add skill whan you can kill all enemy on the map. >This game is new and need time to be tip top. <
hmm
Honestly to me, the pvp is crap. I don't see a point to it. Having a duel with someone now and then is decently fun, but the pvp is so unbalanced it isn't fun. Melee is a joke in pvp, because everyone can kite easily, then there is the cc keeping you away. So, honestly, if you are looking for great pvp, the game doesn't have it.
You can make your own character, and names are account wide, so if you are named Bob, and someone wants the name Bob, they can get it. Because in game it says Bob@bob, and Bob@bob2. You cannot make your Villian until you hit 25, which takes a while, but not a long time. The character customization is the selling point of this game imo. You can choose how you character looks from head to toe, their facial expression, and how they stand/attack/move. With the Villian, you choose him like you do yourself, but his minions are sets. Like, Alien set, insect set, robot set, etc. (But you can still chose whatever power you want for them).
Leveling is fine, up until you start getting around 20 imo. It slows down a lot since the patch, and you have to constantly jump between zones to get quests your level (Which reminds me of early WAR). Making new characters seems like a grind to me, since I'm doing the exact same quests, in the same order. I miss the Radio/Newspaper from CoX.
As I said in leveling, quests are pretty bland, and get boring. It's mainly just go here, kill this, grab that, escort him, etc. There are some that are new and cool, and some you find just for finding that area. They brought in the Public Quest system from WAR, but sadly, most of them seemed bugged and don't finish, or just don't give good enough rewards. I haven't been to Monster Island yet, so I can't tell about raids there. But I haven't seen any real raids in the 3 main zones. Other than some bosses in the zones, I don't see any real raids yet. (Like I said, I haven't been to Monster Island yet, so maybe someone can fill me in).
I haven't been to end game, so I can't vouch for what it is, or what you do there. Other than probably killing boss monsters.
There is also tons of customization in skills. You aren't stuck to a specific powerset, and can grab things from all sets. But, some things just don't work together, although the idea of the game was to have everything work with everything... But, the way it works, is to get better skills in a powerset, you need x from that powerset, or x from any other set (including that set as well) not including energy builders.
Which brings me to the energy builders. Some people hate it, some people love it. I personally, don't care either way. Energy builders are pretty much your auto attack that you use to bring up your energy in fights, instead of trying to drink mana pots/wait for energy regen, you use that to get energy. And you pretty much need to use it, because you have an equilibrium point on your energy. This point is where your energy will stop naturally regaining. The recovery stat affects where it is, but you'll pretty much need to build some energy at some point or time.
I think I've touched the basics of this game, but I know I probably left some important things out. Maybe someone else can find them, or some other topics have them for you if I did.
^ That pretty much sums it up.
I would say no this game is not for you. But only you can know for sure by trying it out .
I agree. Wait. Thats what I do. I hope they sort things out and maybe at the end of the year it is worth trying.
