From those videos i'm still not quite sure i'm pleased with the animations... especially with walking... they seem a bit stiff... slow if you will.. and the attack motions are also a little slow in most cases... now with the magic (like in "Attack of the Yeti" ... kinda lame.. no shooting bolts or indication of you firing the cast/spell... kinda looks bare... but the game still holds my interest otherwise.

Don't you find the animations make him look like an actual "caveman" or what ever you wan't to call it? Would it be the same if he walked like a slim olympic runner even though he supposed to be a big muscle factory. I find it creates somekind of an effect, wich is nice. Call me a fanboi if you want, just trying to see the bright side
The animations seemed a bit funny to me. That would not be a gamebreaker by any means, I currently play LoTRO and my hobbit looks like he is dire need of a restroom when he runs. I was just hoping for better is all. I realize at this stage of beta there is still a lot of polishing left to do, and the final product will hopefully be much better. I like the world graphics , very rich and colorful. Not nuts about the way the "paper doll" and inventory came out from the side though.
I miss DAoC
And i had such high hopes for this game
hehe just keep in mind that this is not the final version
Always do the right thing
After watching ... iv canceled my preorder.
Tired of grinding mob camps, no thanks ... sigh
These clips are definitely dissapointing. I would still like to see some high level pvp combat . So far the combat looks really boring and unappealing to me. This is still on of the games I'm checkin for, but now its on the bottom of the list.
On the Chronicles of Spellborn forum some kiddo came along claiming that AoC was superior lookiing to TCoS. Then someone else posted a link to one of the videos. O boy. The action looks clunky in an old fashioned way. Not at all what one would expect of a modern game, but then again this is only beta. But TCoS in beta is already much better looking. Makes you wonder whether this game is going to be released a bit too soon and needs more polishing.

I just did, but that is beside the point. The point is that character movement needs (an will get) a lot of polishing. From what I have seen they will need all the time available to get that done in time.

a little skeptical about this game but we won't know until we try it right?
Wow now that I actually see the real live combat i must say i dont really like it too much. It looks boring and a little bit sloppy. Not really looking forward to this at all at this point... And it's a shame cuz the game is fairly close to release.
What's up with the MOB AI? Where's the challenge? I'm sick of this whole 'I'll just stand here and guard this blade of grass while you kill my friend" bullshit.
Guys, you are your own worst enemies. I've come to the conclusion that game companies shouldn't even have betas until the game is supposed to go live and they just need a stress test.
let the game actually come out. Then make your decision.
As far as the combat goes, it seems to me that it is "slow" because they are hefting large metal swords. These are large hunks of metal, not finely tuned katanas. The fighting looks fine to me.

It was alot more then 30 seconds and other then the first video, the players were all lvl 13 or higher.
Doesn't look as good as I thought it would be.
Name me one MMOG that was in beta, and you saw a movie of players who had never touched the game before, in a battle, at level 1-5, using pieces of wood, and said 'DAMN the combat looks amazing!' You'll notice that they have no special abilities yet, no combos to use, just strait 'raw' melee. The animations need some work and they've told us that they aren't complete and unpolished.
Seriously, give a game more of a chance then 2 minutes worth of video and absolutely no clue about how the actual game works, let alone anything about it's plethora of innovative features.
I did say I was still checking for this game... I also said "I would still like to see some HIGH LEVEL PVP COMBAT." I'm not lying when I said these clips disappointed me. That doesnt mean I'm not gonna give it a chance. I would just like to see something more impressive than lowbie combat. I dont keep up with AoC that much, so I wouldnt know if combos and what not are in the game yet. What I do know is, if these videos are here to hype up the game... its not working. No need to get mad or aggravated. I could see if I said "This game sucks cuz those videos suck ass!" I was just giving my opinion on what I saw on the videos.
They say not to judge a book by it's cover, maybe we shouldn't judge this one based on the first 2-3 page. Keep reading and you might be in for a pleasent surprise... who knows.
My apologies for this utterly random and senseless comment.
After the game is released and if more information is released i may pick it up but these videos just basically killed my interest and am not rushing to play on day 1.
Oh my didnt like anything I saw in there.
The UI is very ugly.
The world around looked really.... boring to say at least.
The mob AI .... lol there was no effort of a decent mob AI.
The casters chars showed nothing... no real spell animations...
Looked like an early alpha movies to me not beta
