    Wel actaully you can't say much about aion sins there's almost no information available but looking at the video of it it looked to me like a video of final fantasy. He and if people say war is a wow clone just because it looks so simulair i can call aion a final fanatasy clone :P

    age of canon feauture list compared to lineage feature list 90% match they trying the to implement the same feature, it may look and feel very different but the features are very identical

Till one day when they met SOE and they knew they was much more than a hunch. That together, they must somehow form a family. Thats when Sigil became SOE and was no more. Thats the story of how Sigil became SOE.
     



    your point ?

    Withouth giving a reason your post is totally useless

     

    Well, the Site gives it's own reason. Obviously not enough People await the release of Gods and Heroes, thus, it deserves no place in the Most Anticipated MMO List. IF it deserved a Spot there, it would already be there.

    'Nuff said.



    This is backwards reasoning. The fact that it's not anticipated list could just be that the followers of gods and heroes aren't as active hyping the game as the followers of the other games. The hype meter are inaccurate tool of measuring BUT when it is in the list the game would get more attention from casaul mmorpg.com visitors. I for one think that the game deservers every attention it can get sins it's one of the few games that actaully trying something new and not just remake and improve on already tryed and tested concepts.

    Oh dear baby jezus, when you (obviously) don't even know what you're talking about, just don't say it.

    WARhammer exists for about 20-25 Years (1984 I think ), Warcraft(1995) was originally a copy of the branch, after all, fantasy, orcs and humans aren't exactly copyrighted, because they didn't get the rights to turn Warhammer into an RTS.

    Warhammer has ,ever since they started, never left it's own course. It has never looked at other developers and has always remained true to its settings. Warcraft "Lore" Evolves every game. Which means it has evolved 5 times now, in about 15 years. That's once every 3 years.

    edit : forgot to count expansions, do your own math.

    Warhammer Lore evolves every 3 months

    Warhammer characters/models are purposely based on Clich

    When this game first ramping up its hype, it was flying the banner of being a new kind of setting and gaming experience from anything that's out there. As time goes by, it becomes more and more clear that in fact it offers little or no actual innovation, and as such it's gradually fading into the background with all the other bland dime-a-dozen fantasy MMO's out there.
    More specifically, with regard to its so-called "innovations"...
    1. It's combat system is not, as they had suggested from the beginning, action-based or skill-based. It's the same 1-2-3 button push as so many other games out there, the sort of thing you do while watching TV or reading a book. For a while it seemed they were aiming from something more dynamic, such as Funcom are doing with Age of Conan. Now it's clear that the combat system relies on dynamic animations to distract you from the fact that nothing is different.
    I think they state somewhere that the fact that the moster are scripted you could counteract to it by pushing the right button making it a more dynamic experience. can't remember that the ever said making it a really action based or skill based experience but i might have followed the game not long enough.  As for the dynamic systems in general a key board and muis are not fit for a dynamic experience, wnat a dynaimic experience ? go buy a WII. I personally think for this reason Age of CAnon will flop or get sued for multiple RSI cases because they didn't put onto there warning label :P
    2. The setting, which began as a fresh genre, seems to be creeping steadily away from historical and towards fantasy. The OP argues that this is a winning strategy since the fantasy game fanbase is so huge, but obviously the dwindling hype would suggest a different story. Doesn't matter how much you start out liking something, eventually everyone wants a change. G&H isn't offering that, so peoples interest is turning elsewhere.
    Im just saying fanatasy fan base is the biggest of them all. if you would go fanatasy it wouldn't be a bad trategy. As for fanatsy argument it's not vailid there going for mythically enviroment from they start with a keen eye on the historical aspect. Sins your already had chars that would be semi gods they never claimed to be a fully historical game really don't think a historical mmorpg would really work sins they peeps playing it would demand to follow it to a point so that would leave no room for suprise which would kill a large fun factor of playing mmo's
    3. The follower system seems to just be a way of making everyone the same. Now instead of having one specialised character you control a group which can encompass everything you might need - damage, healing, tanking, whatever... sort of like making one character that's good at everything. The concept of having bot followers is nothing new either - it's been in Guild Wars for years, albeit in a more limited way.
    I would agree with you if you argued that if this game wants to be a success the minion system must really add something to the gameplay. But you do if your already played they game. As for the argument that it would be like guild wars this is bull you hire some canon flesh in guild wars. In gods and heroes there cutomisation of the minions makes it totally different from the hired helps of guild wars
    Add to this all the bad feeling which anything even remotely linked to SoE seems to generate among the diehard ex-SWG Sony-haters and you have a recipe for disinterest. Think you'll find that these are some of the min reasons why G&H is not more hyped than it is, and despite your pleas to the userbase I can't see this changing anythime soon.
    SoE as stated has made good games aswell, all those SoE haters a pathetic, SoE is just a enormous company where sometimes bad management dissions are made big deal. I hate blizzard atm because they promised yearly expansion on wow and still haven't even announced the second expansion. If you so linked to 1 game if thats your whole life, i would say stop playing get a RL first

    Can't argue that if your a human hater the game isn't for you :P One qeustion though, do you hate yourself for being human ?

    Aw what a pity, such reasonable argumentation based replies and then you end with "go get a RL"...

    No, I just find I cannot cover enough of my imagination in a human form. As a child I was far ahead of my class regarding reading and understanding, and I read 364 books of any fantasy sort, per year. Most of these books featured different races and classes and that's basically how I fell in love with them.

    That paired with the utterly hopeless and ugly way most humans end up as models ingame ( they _never_ get human properties right) results in total denial of the human race as playable character :P

    Well i just think that if someone is so into one game and after it gets screwed by an arrogant company it turns into hatred i general think there's not enough RL enjoyment or otherwise they would go like me. "o well was fun while it lasted, which game shall i play next" as aposed too "the screwed up my game, i hate your for that " kinda respons. Bu your right it's kinda simple response because i don't have more arguments then the fact that SoE didn't screw up all the games they host or developt just a lot of them :P

  • darkisamuxdarkisamux Member Posts: 20

    its just hard to have any faith in the game. look at the people that run perpetual. they are all ex EA execs. 

    one of them had something to do with earth and beyond and motor city online. 

    thers a guy that worked at origin, but he did stuff like testing and support side of UO

    and there is one guy that worked for lucas arts. but hes working on the star trek mmo.

    the company itself has no games under its belt, and 2 in production.

    the execs and board of directors seem to mostly have worked on ea console sports games.

    it kind of makes sense now, why when i last looked at the game, it looked to me like something that could easily be an xbox single player console game with xboxlive support.

    i really have no faith or interest in this game, especially with the other games coming down the pipe.

    There is more then enough info released about Aion that shows it is nothing like Final Fantasy. Don't blame it on the lack of info released, your the one who didn't do any research on it. Age of Conan, same thing. I can ofcourse explain to you in detail what sets them apart, but if you can't be bothered to do some research on those games, I can't be bothered to explain it to you.

    Is it so surprising?

     

    I mean, we are talking about a game which want you to RAID with scores of pets behind you and behind each player.  Come on, give it a rest.  Raiding alone is bad...raiding with scores of pets?  Gimme a rope!

    While the Op has not a clue about the competition .. i think G& H .. I know G&H will be better than 2 mmos on the most hyped meter. So hype it up if you think so...

    suchs bull if you compare it too other games still in development there almost no info on aion. they info that is avaible is pretty vague and the trailer (that the developers claim to have changed intentionally for the western market) still looks so much like video's finalfantasy, But he maybe al those asain mmo's are just the same to me :P

    Oh can't be bothered with explaining details, why not too much work too read the game info of lineage II to relealize im right? or your just too muched hyped about AoC to have any sense of reason at all ?

    another really helpfull post, if you read the topic your already knew i relalized it's not on there. Now here's a challenge for you give me a reason besides the fact it's not curently on the list why it shouldn't be on the list ?

    hmm no clue ? i think the competition is good sure. But i remember myself being fan of rpg's where you had 1 character and then came baldurs gate where your controlling multiple characters made it suchs an intresting a hardly ever played an single player, single character game. baldurs gate is the one single player games that is in the top 3 of most played by me. So is GnH going to do this for alot of the mmo players ? It could be if enough people play not to die because of lack of population. There been a few mmo games that where good but kinda got shafted because of low population from the start. this is the reason im trying to get peeps to pay attention to it

    Sad to hate a company which has 99% just people working there that just do what managment has said them to do. Shouldn't you find out WHO was the managing person that screwed up they game you liked so much so you can print his foto and throw darts at it ?

    First off, there should be a requirement of being able to write before you are allowed to have a blog. And get over the SOE bit, even the "vets" are starting to realize they sound like whiny broken records.

    On topic, this game has lost alot of it's fans due to the community problems PE is having with Star Trek Online (namely, ignoring and pissing off the ones there supposed to be making the games for is not good busiiness sense, IMHO). Also, look around. I see tons of threads every day for WAR, AoC, hell even that vaporware Darkfall. I just don't see the same interest in G&H being shown by the public here.

    So, while the game itself may surprise alot of people by being good, I have to say that it has not earned a "most anticipated" title. Because frankly, it's not.

    What he's saying is you get enough trouble with lag and such with 50+ players in one area, now add 150 (3 each average) minions.

    Reading comprehension. It's not just for school any more.
