| A point for anyone who didn't watch the vid linked earlier in the thread. Garriot says the game is extremely solo friendly. He spends most of his time in games and in this one soloing.
It showed a party quest, but a guy was doing it solo, with some NPC 'team mates' which he had picked up from a different quest planted for this very purpose, just before doing it.
The vid didn't really appeal to me in game terms. I'm well ready for a decent sci-fi MMORPG, but somehow I don't like the auto targetting reticule. The game is progressive, in terms of how important terrain is etc, but much of that is unseen. We all bitch about wanting new stuff, but I guarantee if some of the basic mechanics change too much it will piss most folk off.
There was a lot I liked about Anarchy Online - the mission system, the class system etc. I need some of them hooks to be in TR if its going to be a game I will play a lot. |
