Yes, the game came out 10 years ago. But haven't they "upgraded" the engine several times since then? As far as the scripting engine goes? How fucking hard is it to add some functionality to a scripting engine? Create more dynamic encounters? No I don't blame waiting for technology to catch up on this one. I blame the lack of innovation on part of the developers. | |

| Now compare that to the Thaddius fight. Phase 1: Ok stick two tanks on two different mobs with a heal chain on each and yah everybody else dps. Ok so its the same so far. Now toss in the fact that the tanks are going to get launched through the air to opposite sides where they have to pick aggro up again. Also dont pull the mobs away from the top of the ramp, or they explode the raid (I think, been a while). After phase 1 proceed to Phase 2: MT gets aggro and yah lets all heal the tank. Everybody gets a debuff with either a postive charge or a negative charge. All the postive people need to group up and all the negative people need to group up. If anybody is mixed up with the opposite group. The raid blows up. Last edited by Thug : 05-12-2008 at 01:01 PM. |

Thaddius was WAY after the PoP era, compare that to Demi-Plane and beyond EQ encounters if you like. Thaddius, per your description, could be broken down into: Stick the MT on the mob, heal the tank... once you ignore all the other parts of the fight as you did for PoP encounters.

+61 Internets   | I'm going to nip this one in the bud and ask you to stop right now lest this degenerate into yet ANOTHER EQ vs WoW thread. No need to continue zinging, on need to continue explaining your point. Just cut it out. Thanks. |

+61 Internets | Getting back on track lest you faggots try your 'Okay but one more thing about EQ that's better the WoW or WoW that's better then EQ...' (hint: shut the fuck up) Where was I? Oh yeah. AoC is shaping up to be a fairly big disappointment. It's going to be the pvp equivalent of LOTRO. Once that 'new game smell' wears off it's going to become boring and repetitive. |

I just don't see AoC doing well at all. It would be nice, because they sound like they have a really good necromancer-esque class a la the EQ1 necro, but I won't go near it for at least 6 monhts, so I am not really setting myself up for disappointment. Nothing will ever top SW:G. Nothing. I was so fucking geeked for a good SW MMO, and even with my rose colored geek glasses on the whole time, I just couldn't make that game fun. Least amount of time I have ever played a MMO, including Vanguard.
