SS or it didn't happen.

Given how much melee class power has swung from the start to the finish of both chapters of WoW, maybe limiting their damage scaling with weapon upgrades is a good thing.

The one thing this game has done extremely well are it's Public Quests. Best "new" feature in the MMO market to date.

Agreed. Most MMOs have basically become a single-player experience during the leveling up process save for some "Group" quests here and there or the occasional grouping to do an instance to knock out some quests you've accumulated.

Public quests are a great way to encourage group play even though they're just another grind. It also encourages doing your part in the group--I certainly don't find myself being "mentally AFK" when I'm trying to compete for the #1 spot to get a shot at some decent loot!

It's a breath of fresh air to have EQ style non instanced dungeons again after playing WOW for so long.

Eh, they made Darkness Falls in DAOC which I consider one of the best designed dungeons ever for a MMO. So they can pull a rabbit out of their hat every once in awhile, but not often enough sadly.

Maybe I just don't get this game. I played around for an hour last night on the new patch and I didn't find a single fun or even interesting thing to do.

Hachima · 06-20-2008, 10:14 AM

I have Veteran Newsletter status and submitted my dxdiag file with my nice SLI setup but still no beta =( I guess I can just beta test AoC for now =p Awesome thing about AoC beta is that its free still.

Mist · 06-20-2008, 10:17 AM

How is it still free?

Araxen · 06-20-2008, 10:25 AM

You know....paying $50 for a game = free. /sarcasm

Dontauro · 06-20-2008, 10:26 AM

Not free if you started it up the day it was available. Gogo subscription.
