Thank you for the reivew you put together Romtim. A lot of questions were answered for me that could not be gained by the videos.
Just not worth my time anymore.
"The character abilities were also quite interesting. The new combo system allows your spells to react with each other to create various effects, which opens plenty of room for experimentations. There might be several combo options for each spell. The combos don't work effectively all the time, and it is not a single option of character behavior. To effectively use your spells and abilities, you will have to think before casting and use spells, which are not part of a combo too. Just because of this system, many people will have a unique style of game-play, since there won't be any certain pattern of ability usage - each person will prefer his own combos and will have his own tactics, which will allow to use his character most effectively. You can, for example, lift a character in a water bubble, and then use a spell with a knock-back effect: it will cause the target to fly back even more than usual, because he is high in the air."
Now this is interesting. I'm so used to learning spell/skill rotations in the last few MMOs that the concept above almost scares me. Almost. I look forward to actually THINKING about the spells I cast as opposed to which spell does the fast amount of dps in reference to time etc. Very cool. Even more immersive this way I think.
Well first off, thanks that was a great read. I really like the stuff about the physics engine. In most games it's an animation and sometime when there is a wall behind you, you'll just freeze in that throw back animation against the wall for a fixed time. This is pretty awesome and I hope AA makes it the norm in newer MMOs. The bit about the quests is dissapointing but in all honesty I've never liked this aspect of games in the past either.
Hopefully when it comes out I'll have a PC that can run it well and can get a few friends to join me. It sounds like you were able to do a lot with just 5 so that's also something to look forward to.
With each release of new information I find myself anticipating this game more and more... I've always argued that we need a true themebox/sandpark, and this looks like it could be it.
I have to say im very dissapointed in the "teleportation books". I though the whole time they didnt want any insta travel so the world seemed big and dangerous. Why in the world have carts?
Please tell me this is not true....

I tend to think, that they are made for simplification of 3rd CBT - as I've read.
I so hope your right. With all the other features, i would deal with it, but portals totally ruin the world feel if you ask me. Wait and see i guess.
