I get the feeling from just looking at the fights that the PvP in this game is more akin to Unreal Tournament than, say, DAoC, at least in instances. I hope that the full-scale RvR is as interesting as DAoC's, for sure.
It's all alpha stuff of course but I'm a bit disappointed by the first video. It seems very repetitive. Spawn at A, run to B, fight some players and hold control of one spot. Doesn't seem too fantastic so far.

It is only one a quite a few styles of PVP you can get involved in

Great vids! I think it looks great. Cant wait to play it. Just imagine how much more diverse your fights will be when ALL the races/classes are represented. Personally, i dont mind taking and holding objectives as its at least the kind of tactics that would reasonably be asked of soldiers. Dumbest thing i ever saw was to make CTF a pvp objective. WSG ftl.
The wow fans will have to get adjusted to the balance of this game. Archers that get 2-3 shoted by normal melee would be a new thing. The video I made, my hammer does the same thing to a Squigg herder. Attack, debuff, miss, miss again, killing blow. Pretty much how it happened in daoc too though, zerker would eat your Rangers lunch.
i hope this turns out great but i do want to see more frontier style RvR rather than instanced RvR
You and me both.

Thanks for the vids, this game looks sick I cant wait till this game comes out. I just hope they update the graphics, it kind of looks like wow graphics.

The graphics you see now are what the game is going to look like by release. They will not be changing the style.
The only thing it does not have in just yet is the dynamic lighting tool, which you can see an example of here.
I had such high hopes for this game, but the more videos that get released, the more it shows the game will just be another WoW/EQ with DAoC features....ah well 8(
The videos definitely don't capture the excitement of the cinematic. Some may say "duh.. of course not!", but what I was expecting was some level of exciting fighting.. this looks very boring.
I look forward to seeing this game in its final state so I can determine if it's worthy of play time.
Uugghhh this makes me want WAR NOW!! Man I hope beta 1 comes some time during the summer, I might rack up an easy 200 hours lol. June 1st.... the 1st day of summer for us.... WAR better come . But nevertheless, I'd rather wait till Dec for beta and have a polished, debugged, and fulfilling release then a pile of garbage.
Was it just me, or did the main char look like a lego guy from behind. they all kinda did. Looks slow, but i still think the game will be great, the people playing sounding like they were having fun :P
That's all it takes, may look slow when watching videos but when you're playing I'm sure it's tense (if the score are close even more so), but if you have people playing they're having fun then you play and have fun. Like dominos.... Skill > Speed, speed just makes it more hecktic and confusing to you and observers.
