No bar brawls?

"Well it now definitely sounds like Funcom had a lot of cool ideas that they just didn't know how to implement: Prestige classes axed ("merged"), no bar brawling at launch (you can't even sit on chairs in a bar!), and hell for casters scrapped altogether... we'll have to wait and see if the relatively polished 1-20 game can convince players to remain subscribed."

What? I had thought that bar brawls were one of the signature features of the game, at least in creating an atmosphere. Now it turns out they don't even exist? Someone tell me this isn't true!

    I don't think there's anything more than speculation out there in regards to this. I certainly hope bar brawls will be in at launch.

    I hate to say this, but if you are so upset just about bra brawls, what about all other features being dropped? Is it still the same game we were expecting 1-2 years ago?

    hard to say really what it is about bar brawls... it was just so conanesque - having some classes changed, formations, prestige etc - well, I figure that's par for the course.

    But something as fundamental as the bar brawl... for me it was about silly random messing around  - which is so important for detracting from the sense of grind.

    It's not so much the change of mechanics, it's the change to the 'spirit' of the game that would worry me.

    I don't have the article in front of me, but I believe it was implied that bar brawls are not completely dropped. They might not make the release, but it is something that FunCom still intends to implement.

    agree

  • Apparently, drunken brawling is now on the "patch in after release"-list along with "usable chairs/benches". Yay. My two favorite features won't be in at launch.

    LOL "your" two favourite features? You hate AoC's guts. You only come here to point out how much it sucks.

    Okay, ignore bar brawls.  How are "usable chairs/benches" one of your two favorite features?  Go away troll.

    Either something is in, or it's out. And if brawls aren't in, it means they are out.



    They may be on that "to be implemented soon" -list together with WoW's heroic classes, Vanguard's Miracle Patch at launch, and Darkfall's beta. But until Funcom actually implements bar brawls to the game, that means there aren't any bar brawls in the game.
