There's a few old shots in there blended in with some new stuff. In the newer media the blood has been not only toned down ever so slightly but also colour enhanced and the way it 'sprays' a bit better. There is a notable difference viewing two side by side but blended together in this vid its pretty hard to tell. Its definately an area of feedback they publically looked into to.
Thats good to hear!! I'm also sure you don't go from fatality to fatality so that vid is really just spamming the fatalities so it is kinda over the top.
Fatalities have only a slight chance of happening and -ONLY- if you kill an enemy with a Combo. So I would have to agree, I highly doubt you'll be walking from Fatality to Fatality. ^_^

One can only hope someone like you never gets into any closed beta. It is people like you who only join a closed beta in an attempt to get something for free and refuse to even help the developers better their game.
Next time you decide to bash a game before you even play it, and then say you hope you get into beta is kind of silly. I'm just happy there are people who are actually trying to help the game progress and not use it as f2p game.
No offense to you or anything, but it gets tiring hearing people complain about games but would never attempt to try and make them better, even if they had the chance.
All I can say is Wow, did someone spill your milk this morning or something :P
Seriously how you can infer anything at all from my post about how I participate in a beta is totally bs. Being a software developer, having done years of QA, and worked in the software industry I'd suggest to you that I'm very capable and provide excellent feedback not only on bugs but also on design concerns.
Not being in beta I can still evaluate the game based on numerous videos. While this can show me visually what is happening this doesn't give a good feel for how the game plays. In a MMORPG combat is a MAJOR part of what you do. If the combat system ends up being boring and repetative requiring little or no thought then no matter how good everything else is the game will only appeal to a niche. This is a fact not an opinion and not a bash. So if combat doesn't work it WILL be a deal breaker not just for me but for many other people.
So next time you post claiming to know what someone means and fabricating opinions based on pure speculation, maybe you would be well served to think before you post.
So yes I'm offended by your post.

Oh yea in a big way! Fatalities are not commonly performed, the vid is more of a show of diff types

Sorry, no offense but soon as you started boasting about your past "experiences" I stopped reading. If I want to read a fantasy novel I'll go elsewhere, it is better than listening to some random person self proclaimed ability to be the end all be all beta tester.
I am sorry you feel I have no idea what i'm talking about but your post proves my point. I suppose your original post didn't really have awhole lot to it but it is easy to spot people like you on a silly forum.
Good day sir.

I definitely hope they toned down the blood spray in a major way. It's very immersion wrecking for me.
I also hope you can disable the blood spatter on the "screen" without toning down the other aspects, because I find that to be downright ridiculous.

I have ore-ordered this game and have great hopes, but that video has a a certain kind of MMO robotic old gen feel to it to my eyes. The characters look a little wooden... some of the animations are nice but most are not very fluid. Ah well, not that I mind that much... but I simply don't see why the omfg fast and furious is warranted.

QQ, WAhhh wahhh.
Cry some more please. PS without playing it please don't post positive posts about the game AFTER ALL YOU DON'T KNOW. Just like the ethion.
However, you'll not help the game much; like it or dislike it, so whatever.
Noe in-regards to the vid itself, i think it looks good. like a more mmo lotro with a bit less graphixs and a bit more gore. But a better game overall.
"Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one ..." - Thomas Paine
The vid looks cool but it's pretty much all stuff I've seen before and nothing really new.... It won't be till I can actually play the combat system till I can really know if it is going to be good or crap. One thing you do get from the videos is that their will be a lot of gore etc, which I'm starting to get turned off on. But I'm guessing the videos just push it and it will be somewhat less in game. What I'm still leary of is the apparent lack of combat abilities and that I'll be focusing all my efforts on positioning and wack a mole manual combat where I'm focused on hitting the sides without a shield. On the plus side the graphics and combat effects are looking good. I really like games with knockback and I like the use of AE for the attacks with larger weapons. Makes good sense. I also really like that there is mounted combat moves. But the ultimate deal breaker will be the details of combat and I'm not talking about the sales pitch but how it really is. Maybe one day I'll get in beta....
After pandrax's posts I went back to look at what I wrote and I'm not sure where Pandrax is coming off talking about prejudging or bashing the game....
I'm commenting on the video and expressing reservations about the combat system and emphasising that the combat system is a critical part of the game and if it isn't good the game will not be successful.
I'm not saying the combat system sucks just that I don't know and I'm not enthusiastic about it. I want to actually try it to see how it really works it is afterall rather new and unique...

I more or less agree with ethion on that one. I'm looking forward to AoC (and been accused of being a Fanboi more than once), but I agree that the combat system will be a very deciding factor of how successful this game will be.
So as he said, the combat system will be a deciding factor in the success of this game. Not the only one, certainly, but one of the biggest. Sure, it's not the only thing in this game, but let's be honest, if you can't like the combat-system, would you play the game? And since this combat-system is new, people will have to try it out for themselves.

I agree with you. I don't know how pandrax interpreted your post but you seemed pretty fair with your assement coming from someone who hasn't played yet. Just had to add that.
On the video coming from someone who only casually watches this game my biggest fear is that the combat will be all flash and no substance. All the blood and gore can't hide a shallow combat system.
I'm purposely not getting excited about this game to avoid disappointment, though lately it's been looking to shape up pretty nicely. Maybe nothing revolutionary, but a decent game none the less.
WAY too much blood lol.. I guess some people are impressed? It would be better to have more realistic blood spray though. Anyone gonna volunteer to put on one of those CEG suits and have their head chopped off? come on it's for the better of the game!
I can't wait for this to come out already... I just want to hear some reviews, I won't be buying it until I hear some good things. Last year was so crap for mmo's. this year hasn't really started yet. pirates? come on now lol.
AOC will be the first of the highly anticipated 2008 make up for 2007 games. so far the combat hasn't impressed me much. the hitting people on different sides is new, but I just see people standing still swinging. looks boring. there needs to be some strategic movement but it's hard to tell from video's. not much new in that video at all. hell Jade empire has more strategic combat from the looks of it...

Everyone seems to want to ride for free around here, it's too bad for the genre as a whole that there are so many people willing to take away from a games beta just to save himself a few trips to mcdonalds.

What I would love to see in an mmo is the kind of moves you see in God of War - especially the parts when it goes all cinematic, and he performs a series of amazing stunts.
I know it would be a huge challenge in a large persistent world, but until something like that happens, MMOs will always appear a little pale next to the single players.
I appreciate AoC's efforts to jazz up MMO combat and am very much looking forward to playing this game... but I don't yet see the leap forward visually I was hoping for.
Maybe it's better in the experience; MMOs always look far more dull in videos than they are to actually play.
It's so funny how 9 out of 10 threads ever made about video games will turn into 2 guys in a quote war after a few posts. This one started with pandrax lol... when I first read his post I was thinkin, wow man chill out, the guy didn't even bash the game. Relax bro. He just noticed what most of us noticed in that the combat doesn't look all that exciting. and there's too much blood lol. He could have added "oxygen is helpful" if he wanted to continue stating the obvious.
ah well sry pandrax didn't mean to single you out. If it wasn't you it woulda been someone else lol.
But ya, mmo's need much better combat like god of war, jade empire... even prince of persia looks more fun than this game to play. It'll happen eventually. not with aoc or warhammer though unfortunately by the looks of it.

Not sure what you're trying to say exactly. I don't discourage people saying bad things about any game. all I really said was about his statement about his beta testing, and then about his epeen stroking. I suppose the ability for people to comprehend is alittle lacking here...
Of course I didn't mean to single you out since obviously i'm not speaking just about you, but you make a great subject to start from.

dude I'm not gettin into a quote war with you lol..
Just so I know, you got angry at his line of "maybe I'll get in beta one day..." ? I mean... man you really read between the lines don't ya. cheer up yo. not everyone in the world is against you. I think you are reading things that aren't even there, in fact I know you are. everyone filters what they read through their own belief system. yours is quite negative, but you can change that.
And this is my point, see how we're arguing now? (a quote war) though I didn't quote you cause I don't want to be part of what I just tried to explain. Maybe the problem isn't ethion, or me. maybe it's your attitude. and I hope you feel better soon, believe that. been there, done that mood. It doesn't help anyone including yourself.
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, if it makes you feel any better I didn't use a quote this time! I suppose sometimes people such as your self like to pretend like your voice means something by making up "quote wars" out of 2 posts. It's kind of sad and I hope you grow up
now on to something that is actually important.. The whole look and feel of the game which is about all i'll say is pretty amazing. I'm sure when all of us are playing in may except the few who are crying doom will be having some fun. I for one love the gore and fatalities and how everything meshes great together.
Some say it feels or looks like they are sort of rigid and don't move great. which I can agree with. the animation isn't like warcraft where everything is so smooth and polished. Given enough polishing the animations should come together pretty nice. As we all know nothing is perfect, specially in mmo's.

While I'm not AS impressed as I was a while ago about this game, I'm still impressed. Love the mounted combat and blood sprays ... oh and chopping off people's heads!!! I think I'm gonna have to pick this game up when it arrives now!
$OE lies list http://www.rlmmo.com/viewtopic.php?t=424&start=0 " And I don't want to hear anything about "I don't believe in vampires" because *I* don't believe in vampires, but I believe in my own two eyes, and what *I* saw is ******* vampires! "
The fatality thing was pretty cool and how it has an effect on the rest of the party. Now my question is, do casters get the opportunity to perform a fatality or is this just limited to mele?
I was wondering the same thing. With all of the major focus on melee will casting be neglected? How will the level of interaction involved in casting compare?
i think the fatality thing is really cool. I just hope that they dont get really repetitive like in manhunt when u shoot the guy with the nail gun every time you kill someone.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
What I would love to see in an mmo is the kind of moves you see in God of War - especially the parts when it goes all cinematic, and he performs a series of amazing stunts.
I know it would be a huge challenge in a large persistent world, but until something like that happens, MMOs will always appear a little pale next to the single players.
I appreciate AoC's efforts to jazz up MMO combat and am very much looking forward to playing this game... but I don't yet see the leap forward visually I was hoping for.
Maybe it's better in the experience; MMOs always look far more dull in videos than they are to actually play.
It's so funny how 9 out of 10 threads ever made about video games will turn into 2 guys in a quote war after a few posts. This one started with pandrax lol... when I first read his post I was thinkin, wow man chill out, the guy didn't even bash the game. Relax bro. He just noticed what most of us noticed in that the combat doesn't look all that exciting. and there's too much blood lol. He could have added "oxygen is helpful" if he wanted to continue stating the obvious.
ah well sry pandrax didn't mean to single you out. If it wasn't you it woulda been someone else lol.
But ya, mmo's need much better combat like god of war, jade empire... even prince of persia looks more fun than this game to play. It'll happen eventually. not with aoc or warhammer though unfortunately by the looks of it.
Of course I didn't mean to single you out since obviously i'm not speaking just about you, but you make a great subject to start from.

dude I'm not gettin into a quote war with you lol..
Just so I know, you got angry at his line of "maybe I'll get in beta one day..." ? I mean... man you really read between the lines don't ya. cheer up yo. not everyone in the world is against you. I think you are reading things that aren't even there, in fact I know you are. everyone filters what they read through their own belief system. yours is quite negative, but you can change that.
And this is my point, see how we're arguing now? (a quote war) though I didn't quote you cause I don't want to be part of what I just tried to explain. Maybe the problem isn't ethion, or me. maybe it's your attitude. and I hope you feel better soon, believe that. been there, done that mood. It doesn't help anyone including yourself.
Peace
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, if it makes you feel any better I didn't use a quote this time! I suppose sometimes people such as your self like to pretend like your voice means something by making up "quote wars" out of 2 posts. It's kind of sad and I hope you grow up
now on to something that is actually important.. The whole look and feel of the game which is about all i'll say is pretty amazing. I'm sure when all of us are playing in may except the few who are crying doom will be having some fun. I for one love the gore and fatalities and how everything meshes great together.
Some say it feels or looks like they are sort of rigid and don't move great. which I can agree with. the animation isn't like warcraft where everything is so smooth and polished. Given enough polishing the animations should come together pretty nice. As we all know nothing is perfect, specially in mmo's.

While I'm not AS impressed as I was a while ago about this game, I'm still impressed. Love the mounted combat and blood sprays ... oh and chopping off people's heads!!! I think I'm gonna have to pick this game up when it arrives now!

And I don't want to hear anything about "I don't believe in vampires" because *I* don't believe in vampires, but I believe in my own two eyes, and what *I* saw is ******* vampires! "
The fatality thing was pretty cool and how it has an effect on the rest of the party.
Now my question is, do casters get the opportunity to perform a fatality or is this just limited to mele?
"My P.O. telling me I need a 9 to 5
But I already got a job, and that's staying alive"
I was wondering the same thing. With all of the major focus on melee will casting be neglected? How will the level of interaction involved in casting compare?
i think the fatality thing is really cool. I just hope that they dont get really repetitive like in manhunt when u shoot the guy with the nail gun every time you kill someone.
I give no mercy
