Dang i really wanna play this game but i need to upgrade my computer first. How is the "real time combat system"? Are there any class that are insanely over powered?

so far i haven't really noticed any overpowered class. its pretty balanced

the combat system is pretty fun. but does become a bit of a button bash :p

button bash? like eq 2 type button bash? (my rogue had literally 50 buttons he had to press each fight) or like wow button bash? (same 3 buttons over and over)

it's a really beautiful game,but the buttonmashing has really turned me off. I find the combos to be all but useless in pvp as they take so long to activate that your target has usually stepped a few paces out of range by the time you get it off, and they get cancelled if you're moving...

so it seems the ranged classes are MUCH more powerful in pvp, as they can blast you from afar WITH combos while the melee classes are trying to close, and even then it's really hard to combo your target once you get close enough...

its like any mmo really :p its not what they promised me :(

disappointed? :( sorry to hear that. seems like MMOs never live up to expectations. I guess the best thing to do is stick with one you like and hope the devs dont completely give up on it, and hope they keep updating it.

This may finally be the MMO that keeps low self esteem teenage girls (or boys), middle aged desperate housewives and transgendered people away.

It might actually be for normal gamer folk who like RPGs and don't LIVE in a virtual world.

Like wow what a concept?

I am sorry, this made me giggle. Nice to meet ya, signed the gaming housewife. Not sure what ya mean by Desperate, been gaming a hell of alot longer then I've been a housewife. (Started out on pen and papers, gmed rifts for a while, Played Shadowrun, Vampire: The Masquerade of course, ) Played EQ pretty hard core (Erudite Ench in an end game raid guild), Played a Permakill game beta wont list the name, someone might accuse me of being a perv. I own a PS3, a PSP, Rockband, Guitar hero, all the FF series, WoW 3 acct's 5 70s, Play Warhawk, Motorstorm, Lair, Halo, Granturismo, etc. One Can be a housewife and a serious gamer. Only thing I am desperate for right now, is a my computer parts, and b a new game to play. More kiddies to kill, or laugh at in vent when they hear me talk.

haha, you are the wife many dream about :laugh:

@ Azarel:
i liked the game at the beginning, but the farther i go, more bugs, technical stuff, and even poorly implemented things come to the surface. and some of them drive me crazy

Another question, I really hate this about WoW specifically, i got 3 70 a 62 and 60, but i play purely for pvp. I have been looking for a long time for a game with a great story line behind it. The last one i played that actual made me play all the way through was Fallout 2. Does AoC have a good story line? And how about the pvp the videos thus far all seem weak.

hey, vanguard is a pretty good game. once all the bugs from release got fixed its actually quite nice. I enjoy the combat system anyway. kinda neat that any character can level up to max tradeskills without having to adventure and level up.

First impressions: Mediocre at best. I didn't really like the combat system or the way the game felt however after lvling to 40(in a weekend) I have grown quite attached. I dont play a melee class where i have to have combos(which do seem irritating) so i guess my sequence is always a little different depending on the situation. I LOVE the PvP. If I didn't roll PvP i would be bored much faster. Sometimes ill spend an hour just running around ganking people for the fun of it with my friends, and waiting until they send me a message with hatred. :) If you want to level fast, i recommend anybody Tempest of Set. Best AOE class/heals over time out there. Also much fun :)
