You can control your character during combat ..run around ,switch from Melee to magic ,use whatever skills you have
I've heard that the game will have 3 separate Beta tests.
The first one was a closed beta and was supposed to be a load test and concept test. Midway through the 1st Beta the game switched focus (after it became stable ) and "Live Story Events" became the focus. The 2nd half of Beta 1 was quite alot of fun.
The 2nd Beta is advertised to begin this fall. Their dev chats state that they have overhauled almost every game system based on player feedback. Each creature in the game is supposed to be a puzzle unto itself, and questing and live story are to be dynamic and interwined. We'll see.
The 3rd Beta is supposed to be what most of us have come to think of as "Beta"; the game that closely represents the game that will be launched (there have also been numerous "invite only" mini Betas that test specific core systems)
Just like movies, I can not always trust the opinions of others. The critics really hated "Dune", "Army of Darkness", and "1984". They are all very different, I happened to like all 3 of these movies. The end of Beta 1 was the most fun i had had in an MMO since i discovered them years ago.
What exactly did you ask for that the devs of this game have not responded to? I've read the dev chats and it seems that the game has undergone significant revision since beta 1... I wonder where that input came from?
From the lashings i got from the Vn boards its the pvp questions. This game is a trammy uo model. If your into it youll like it . If your pre trammy uo player youll hate this game. Im of the latter. Ill see if beta 2 holds interest but i forsee it being a ghost town in the pvp areas. I got a feeling horizon refugees will flood this game. So its a question of if you love pvp dont bother.
This game is made to bring a story to people and a REAL background and reason to play besides "Yay! Im lvl 50 I rule" theres alot to do with the story, towns, pvp, just everything. I will take a non doom 3 looking game just as long as it keeps me busy. It does look good though just not awesome with awesome lighting.
Can't say yet. Tell you for sure when it hits the shelves, but read up on the Dev Journals at the RPG Vault at IGN and if you think it's up you ally then sign-up for the beta. If you like/liked UO pre-AOS, then you'll probably like what you read.
