You press left attack, I press left defend and then the computer behind the scenes rolls the dice JUST like any other MMO.

THAT is what I was referring to. All they did was change auto attack from a toggle to a 3 way directional click fest.

Although I did like Killer Instinct and I've heard the button mashing combo loving style of AoC has a lot of similarities to that, so you never know!

Killer instinct was the shit

Ah cool, I didn't know that, don't play pvp in those games, but I play Eve some so I know them from there.

If so, just save your breath. MMOs are MMOs. There is nothing new and groundbreaking in the current crop, I'm sorry to burst your bubble. DX10 = who cares.

AoC = EQ2 with updated graphics, DX10 support and FFA PvP servers touting a M+ rating and boobs.

If that is worth your 50 bucks, fine. It isn't worth mine.

Nope. I haven't even played it one bit. I simply asked the question so I would understand the frame of reference of your opinion.

As far as I know there isn't any macro capability in the game, but that doesn't mean you won't get any.

Being a twitch game, sure if you suck at it. To be good at AoC you have to actually time your combos and do the opposite of twitch. Twitching will get you killed.

It is different than other games as other games do all the work for you. In EQ2 all you do is press a button and whamo, ability goes off and decaps someone for `8107391027389120730123 damage. /snore.

This game is definately more active, and coming from an FPS background I'm down with that.

Now as for the not liking PvP that's a preference for most people, and my view on this game is that if you're not PvPing then you're really wasting your time. The PvE environments will be lame in comparison to the PvP environment so if you're not into that sort of thing then don't bother with this game.

Also as far as I could see the Dx10 stuff isn't even working so /shrug.

On a side note, I'll be playing on the Deathwhisper pvp server with the guild Lords of the Dead. Hopefully I'll see a some of you there.
