Tab targeting? Cartoonish screens?

.....oh lord, the trailer better be good beacuse what started as me jumping with joy about this project and have for many years
thinking of an Elderscrolls MMO is replaced with an utter: "MEH"
Im not exited anymore.....

I guess my only hope left is World of Darkness.

Real-time combat is really not possible at this time in any MMO.

That doesn't make the game a "WoW clone," it makes the developers human beings who are limited by current technology.

Of course it's possible. It's just difficult. Many MMOs have already done fully real-time combat like Darkfall and Mortal Online.

I read the same thing, champ, and I counted dozens of differences to WOW. Calling it a clone is extremely ignorant.

But it's so much easier than actually reading stuff.

TERA Online. That's the most real-time of any MMO on the market right now.

Can you provide a source? Don't just assume it's so because of WoW, give us a link as proof. This thread means nothing if no link is given.

Really? Leaked info is frowned upon on these forums.
But I really doubt it's true, they wouldn't do that. Would they? :blink:

You can talk about it, you just can't link to it. They're all over the internet, you can visit other websites' gaming forums and stumble upon a link. They look legit. Plus, there's about 15 pages' worth of writing and pictures, and they were put out just two hours after the announcement, so that level of detail would have been pretty hard to replicate in such a short amount of time.

Great, so far neither the aesthetic nor the combat is like the traditional ES games....
My heart sank as soon as I saw those screens.

Yes, I know. Wrote before seeing it myself.
I've seen it, and it's unimpressing so far. WoW in gameplay, WoW in art, TES only in soul.

and forced 3rd person, are you serious? This game is going to fail so hard. Why cant devs see that players are getting extremely bored of the wow-type mmos and make something new.

Do not understand why no first person? WOW have it and it's needed in some situations where decorations are blocking you view in 3rd. Now with WOW type combat you will use 3rd person 95% or more of the time as it's more practical however blocking it just generate problems.

MMO generally don't use real time combat because of lag so I had not really expected it, an MMO with real combat who worked well would be something new and exciting.

M&B combat... Modders have been able to create an online open world in which it worked. Granted it was buggy and laggy, but these were modders not a professional company.

i heard that it wasnt 'forced' 3rd person but yeah having hot keys like all the other MMO's out there isnt the best idea imo
