Hello!
I have a question for you all... why are you so excited about this game.. I mean its a MMO about Stargate that is something to be excited about but what are the gameplay mechanics that interest you?
Comments
What makes me excited about it is that it seems to be a completely new kind of MMORPG. No longer "farm item X, so you can compete in instance Y, if you don't have item X, don't even bother trying". It doesn't seem to be the usual boring item farming, from what I can see from various videos and snippets published so far, it looks like a lot of the success will depend on a player's ability to think tactical, a team's ability to coordinate not only their characters' skills but also their own, the players' skills.
And I'm quite excited about that. I prefer games that put a focus on my ability to play it instead of my ability to endure the grind.
the AI intrests me alot. they try to move you from your cover, they steal it, they get their own cover, some are aggresive, some are defensive, its never the same fight twice. that and the fact its based off of stargate makes me want to play this.
I'm wonder how this game will be playable in case of WoW. As we can see on gameplays or trailers game mechanism is going to be like in wow, but there you have diffrent game.
Of course this game is another part of StarGate, after all seasons of SG-1 and Atlantis (5 season now), that game will be very good point to sum all this serials. But they have to add as fast as possible Wraith race, because they own all
Well, compared with WoW the game will most likely play quite differently, from what I can tell by looking at the videos. WoW has been no real step forward from any other MMORPGs, at least technically. They sure opened the market for the general population, but WoW is, when it comes to the gameplay, in no way different from older games of the MMORPG kind.
SGW promises a more player based game, where you, the player, get to play a much more important role than in WoW or other conventional MMORPGs. In MMORPGs, so far, the key question of success or failure was class, skills and most of all equipment. The player's ability to play well was secondary to those.
It looks like SGW will put less stress on your equipment and more on your position on the battlefield. Your ability to choose the right cover, to choose the right moment to fire back, to move your team into optimal positions to flank the enemy and push him out of his cover, etc. It won't be the usual item harvest, instead it will have a lot of the traits we usually find in tactical FPS games.
I really hope I'm right.
Game will have built in some other features not present in wow, to name a few:
-Focus
-Cover

Besides being a big fan of the movies,series and such, the thought of killing something other then lions,tigers an bears and playing a nice Sci Fi MMO again will be great.Also I have faith in some of the people working on this game as they worked on another sweet mmo I dearly miss E&B.
I am a SG fan,,,that's why...because if I would like a awesome sci-fi MMORPG I would pick up EVE...but like I said i am a SG fan...but currently playing WAR

This is the team that worked on EaB? Now that could be interesting!
EaB had one of the densest storylines in MMORPG history, and they had some of the most interesting ideas for events and universe development (I mean, let's be serious, how many other MMORPGs out there change every other month, have shifting alliances and have whole areas turn from friendly to hostile?) but failed due to a lack of size, economic reasons (in game, not RL), class balance and other cardinal sins in MMORPGs.
If they managed to learn from it and eliminate those mistakes, and I guess they did (I still blame EA for the failure, they tried to milk the cow without feeding it, so their decision not to sell out to a publisher might indicate that they noticed it's bad for the game in the long run), that has the potential to be the most interesting and most dynamic MMORPG we have so far.
Like the franchise and the combat sounds interesting.
The bits that they have let out are interesting. I love the Stargate universe and would love to explore the areas that I have seen.
because they are focusing on AI and tactics.
I think the beta will be very fun.
exploration and other stuff
My list of why I'm excited for Stargate World:
- Combat, something new and very unique (cover, weapon play, strategy)
- Fan of the whole Stargate (SG-1, and Atlantis) and fan of playing mmo's, but the two togeher and poof, im interested
- Fresh content (so is being said) which will add new features, higher level caps and more
- Races/worlds to explore, the BIG mmo
- And many more little details that are very neat aswell
