My husband got to borrow a friend's copy and play some of it last night.

My first impression: WTFH graphics suck. EQ2's opening movie has better graphics than the cutscenes for this game. Also, not enough creepy ugly people walking around in the game - seems like every person wanted to make an AberCROMbie and Fitch model.

The buddy key thing was a giant screwover to a lot of people as well.

im not sure what your talking about nar =(

but the cutscenes are ingame graphics so put on high settings and they do look a tad better atleast!

and the intro movie in eq2 isnt in ingame graphics if i recall? (haven't seen it for 2years..)?

that said, the game is filled with crappy bugs, you get stuck in bushes all over the place, it seems to be created with soloing in mind to 80, sometimes you can't attack since you click to fast on the various combos / attack directions you have...

the chatsystem in the game is IMO the worst i have ever seen, no serverwide channels, a crapload of commands are odd, half the emotes in the emote lists dosnt work for each gender (although /squirm as female is quite funny!)

but hey it got released today, how many other games we're perfect at launch?=)

I never get stuck anywhere I can't get out of unless I'm fucking around and jumping stupidly and go into a wall. But you can /stuck yourself, you don't have to evac or petition like retardoEQ2.

AOC on the lowest graphic settings are better than EQ2's on high - not that I can really blame eq2 for that, it's 4 years old. I have no idea what you're talking about there, Narelie. The graphics on the low settings are definately superior to eq2 on high. No idea what you're getting the horrible graphics bit.


However, AOC loads differently than EQ2 does. In eq2..It loads your shit on one setting IE if you turn on low rendering distance (I do this a lot), and say, it's trying to render the dock in EFP on high...But it's not done yet as you get there... Tough shit. You have to wait for it to finish, or you fall through it. In AOC? It loads it with very blurred/fuzzy textures, then progressively higher, until it's to the normal one that puts eq2 to shame, even in low.

Also, Glerin, you don't HAVE to solo to 80...But you know what's funny? Soloing in AOC is actually fun. It's not mindnumbingly fucking boring like eq2's ROK quest grind. But I do like how they put a solo and group version of pretty much every zone in the game.

Speaking of grouping...Mentoring is also perfected. Your target scales 1 level below you rather than you scaling down. They get very minor health/stamina/mana boosts to compensate for the higher level, but are still extremely squishy and will die if pulling aggro - and of course they don't get the new skills. Basically just lets them group with higher level friends, is all.

The chat system, however... I agree on. Terrible. But that's really a minor issue, IMO, and something I don't really care about. [OOC] is the global chat, and there seem to be like 10 different versions of it. I can have two tabs open with it on and they get different text.

There are also plenty of ugly people...Just mostly NPCs I think. I personally don't want to play ugly characters. /shrug.


In short, AOC pwns EQ2 so hard it's not even fuckin' funny.

...Then again yeah it kinda is.
