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.

becuase the bigger and more sucessful developers get the more money hungry and detatched they become from the people who made them sucessful. Games are literally planned in board rooms by looking at whats sucessful in the market , not what its interesting or fun to play

Yes but surely people must have some basic common sense by looking at every failed wow clone out there that people want something different.

they started development in 2007

the decision wasnt made by developers it was made by executives

I like having opinions on things I know nothing about yet because there hasn't been any info dumps, too.

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.

No but seriously where did you get this info?

Wait. Hold on. No real-time combat? Can you please tell me where you learned this? Because if that is true I'm outta here.

Edited:
I think I may be misinterpreting this. When you say "no real-time combat", are you talking about turn-based combat? Because, then yeah, I'm outta here. Otherwise, if you're referring to queued spells and attacks, then that's fine and expected.

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.

leaked game informer article

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

My lord! You've discovered previously unheard of technology that eliminates latency!

Congratulations!

LOL, the combat will be real time. What? You expect them to pause the game while you input a move? And pause it for every one of the thousand+ players on your server?

» Mon May 14, 2012 2:07 am

I can't give a link due to rules, but Eurogamer and Kotaku have articles. You can find screendumps of the leaked GI article on the net.

People are referring to moves being on a cooldown timer (like in every other MMO ever made). It's not actually "real-time" combat in the sense that you can't swing a sword every time you click your mouse button.

all mmo's that have hundreds of players in one server all using real time combat.

2 of them are old as hell , the idea that server technology isnt capable of doing realtime combat in 2012 when its been done since the 90s is laughable and demonstrates your complete lack of knowledge about gaming.

the only reason this is a wow clone is because its easy to produce , it gives a bigger return on investment because its cheap to make.

only problem is there wont be a return on investment because the project is uninspired garbage that will flop a month after everyone realises they played the game before

Real-time combat is very possible. See Darkfall online made by a amateur company and that game could handle 500 v 500 battles. But alas that games grind killed itself.

Nothing in the leaked article mentions cooldowns (not saying there won't be one, but let's wait till we KNOW.) It does say you have a hotbar. It also says you can actively block, sprint, and have to manage endurance. It will be pretty dynamic and your actions will take place in real time. People need to get a clue and stop saying stuff they have no real knowledge about.

Ah, I was under the impression they'd referenced cooldowns at some point, but that may have been from another journalist making assumptions.

I dont count tab targeting as real time combat, do you have to aim? no, can you dodge? no.

You can block, LOS, and interrupt. Also, they didn't say you couldn't dodge some attacks. Why don't you wait and see?

because many of us have already read the near 10 page rundown on the game , and its a complete wow clone

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

I want to do this to other players. Until im not able to do so, i will not buy the game! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bJDmxtRPoGk
