I beleive it can work in that the NPCs are the fillers. Let's say, hypotethetically, that the engine they've developed is speedy enough to draw more than 10 animated characters in the scene in real time.
3 of those 10 are players, the rest are NPC…
LOTRo Beta was smoother, IMO. But it seems that both games are launching well. During EA I never saw one bug complaint or gameplay comeplaint in OOC chat.
After multiple 6 hour sessions only once did I crash.
You know the game must be doing something right if the ooc chat channel is silent, haha. Yes, it is quiet on the Set server also.
Currently level 23, had to group twice so far, both times had no issues and they were very friendly.
Complainers always have to complain about something. If AoC's graphics were crap, they'd be complainign about it. *rolls his eyes*
Been playing all day in the Wild Lands of Zelata. Saw a loading screen hmm, maybe 3 times today after 8 hours of…
I am out of tortage, and the loading screens are now few and far between. Wait till you see Old Tarantia. It's like 10 Stormwinds layed out side by side in a square.
I find it fuuny when people accuse action games of being 'button mashing.'
How else do you plan to play a game besides pressign a lot of buttons?
There is strategy involved. Learn it!
Oddly enough on Set where I am, I did not see one topless female. Now I'm not saying it never happened, just that everytime I was in daylight in tortage, no nekkidness that I saw.
Mebbe they're all too busy pleasuring Set.
^^^ That's why I don't like bashing games I don't follow. I am not informed and therefore could make just utter false accusations.
LOTRo did the same thing during development.
Man.. what I'd give for 8 T1 servers...
DD: I have and will continue to call out troll posts, but like I told you in the chat room I don't like name calling. I, too, would prefer to be objective about it.
I enjoy AoC. You did not. But I …
I think I am going to have a heart attack... Did .. did Alan0n say he is actually enjoying AoC now?
*faints*
As for the thread topic, I hardly notice it. It never once felt empty outside to me, unlike Guild Wars.
And clearly YOU, BigMango didn't read that we admit it was a MISCOMMUNICATION.
Use your brain. Since EA costs 5 bucks, if everyone really would get access, then that's 5 more bucks for funcom.
WHy in the HELL would they DELIBERATELY cut …
