With this kind of dough at thier disposal, AOC should be a knockout. The investors show great faith in the games success .

If I had millions to throw away, it would be at a game like this. The more I read about it the more I wanna play it.

/agree! As long as I stay away from the rabid fans who want realism over gameplay. You should have seen the way they flipped out when what looked like a target circle showed up on one of the videos.

Hehe I concur on that note. The community has alot of different genres specific types no doubt. It's hard to filter through all the crap the Pro-RP, Pro-PVP, Pro-This and Pro-That just to get some real hard facts of what the game will be doing. I wish people would just let the Beta testers & Devs do their job and STFU with half the nonsense they post.

BTW, is LFG & Niber running AOC flames? If so thanks for the shout out on AOC Events!

unless the game is a pure action RPG i dont see how the hell they are gonna be able too go w/o a targeting mechanism of some sort which tells you what you are attacking hehe. hell even half the action RPGs out there still have a targeting circle of some sort anyway (see fable for starters)

Well most of them were saying "This isn't a target-and-attack type of game" because the mechanics actually involve targeting certain body parts to attack, as well as combos (like say kick the gut, knee the face, bonus damage!) and they felt the target circle "took away the realism" of the picking of body parts. Of course as a spell caster it would be damn near impossible to just send a nuke at a mob's head, it would most likely send a ball of flame at the feet of an opponent and burn all around it (most of the damage is front conical from what they're saying) so having an indicator of who's going to take the most damage is actually helpful. But they totally wigged out... "When i'm in the forest killing people, I don't want a big red circle under their feet! its not REAL!"
