Alright, so, the story and general presentation look incredible, typical of a Bioware game. Graphics are great as well (by MMO standards, of course) and the animations, while they could use some work, look pretty good.

 

But the combat... there's literally nothing I can see that distinguishes it from WoW and it's many copies. Positioning (despite some classes having Gears of War type cover systems) appears to be more or less uneccesary, so everyone just stands in one spot spamming their abilities until large health pools are drained (despite Bioware stating something to the effect that they didn't want 20+ people ganging up on one big mob because it wasn't "heroic enough" or somesuch), and then they switch targets to do it again. Healers basically just stand back and play whack-a-mole with dropping healthbars.

 

The boss appears to be boring and unoriginal even by WoW standards (even smaller bosses at the beginning of high-end raids and dungeons in WoW typically have cooler moves than just "fire missles and arm swipe").

 

The more I look at this game, the more it seems that the story (and possibly the crafting) is about the only reason to play it, unless you're just plain not bored yet of bare-bones, seen-it-all-before MMO combat and raiding mechanics.

  I know what you mean

I'm sick of fps games too, every damn one you use wasd keys to move and shoot things with your mouse. They're all  wolfensteine clones. Over 20 damn years and 0 inovation.

I also hear that they still use dice with board games

Love the sarcasm, hehe

Yeah I read up on that.

 

Its a good think because no one knows how to play fucking monopoly and makes up their own rules ;p.
