What happened with spellweaving?
Did they ever revert it back to "as advertised"

I was trying to remember if it changed back before I left or if they stuck with the watered down version they forced on us after advertising the original version.
On a positive note that was by far the coolest looking skill in game. Visually it was quite impressive
BTW hopefully that first one didnt make anyone want to punch the AOC PR machine in the face, lol

The first one was probably photoshoped ;p
It's OK there was a disclaimer writen on the bottom of the first screen in 2 point font in Norweigan that said "actual results may very" or "this result is atypical" ;p

what's watered down about it? same pom spellweave...
I have no clue what this is about. Spellweave works perfect for my guild. It's perfect to use as part of a massive PvP, but also usefull just in smaler scale battles.
Yea, I dont get this thread. Nothing changed in the Spellweave. It looks about the same as the PR piece in the first video.
I have seen it used multiple times, and it matches up...so, why post this thread?
Agree.
Maybe the OP dont play AOC and have never seen anyone use it.

The are only 2 differences between these 2 vids:
I think that the OP might not of tried it?
Nothing has changed apart from optimization, there was no watered down version.
Nice try though
Let me reply by saying that I grabbed the videos quickly. I grabbed the first one because it starred one of my favorite scumbags. The other was to quickly get to the animation
Anyway to those that say there wasnt a change then either YOU didnt play the first few months or you are outright lying. Before I quit they had watered the animation down and the POM community was not happy. They did it , I think, because of the terrible problems some people were having with performance. When I left it was still in the watered down form. Avery I am not sure if you played a caster but if you did you will recall what I am talking about. Those with accounts at AOC forums could do a simple search of the POM forums and go back to probably June and start looking there.
I wasnt busting on the game so all of you fanboys can put your fangs away. I was merely asking if the had reverted back to the kickass animation.
Spellweaving was another feature taken out of the game just prior to launch and than a broken version was patched in weeks later, as for where it stands now I can't say. last I knew my friends who rolled casters said it wasn't very useful.
Ill give you a chance to take it back Avery and save face before I go through every page of the POM forums. The animation was watered down at some point and I simply asked if they had reverted it back since it was done , I beleive, because of the terrible performance SOME people were having and it was graphics intensive. So since you love to tell everyone how much better the performance is now, did they take it back to its former glory?
Come after me all you want when I say something thats not fact but dont you EVER come after me about something that actually happened in the game. It just makes you look like a corporate ass.
If you raving fanboys had a brain cell between you ,you would have taken this as an opportunity to brag about how great the animation looks since they took it back to what it was at release visually. If they did. Ill let all of you fanboys figure out what it means if they didnt.
Damn I have never seen so many fanboys miss a complete softball opportunity to talk smack about their game. No more softballs for you guys
Agree.
Maybe the OP dont play AOC and have never seen anyone use it.
Or maybe the OP knows more than the fanboy who didnt start playing until a few months after release.

As per my other post Ill await your PM Avery. Actually don't PM go ahead and say 'I was wrong" in front of the whole forum. I'm really disappointed by you chosing to take the Old Avery route especially since I was asking the question because I enjoyed the class and was debating giving the game you love so much a second shot at wowing me once they offer something to former players. tsk Tsk Ive come to expect better from you Avery as of late

Sorry to burst in on your discussion here, but are you talking about something that happened in the timeframe the rest of the AoC community are concerned with (which is the last 4-5 months worth of changes), or are you back at 1 week after launch???? Spellweaving has not been wathered down or modified in any way like you suggest since the implementation was fully in place (like July 2008 if I am not mistaken). You talk about stuff at launch, while Avery talk about stuff the rest of the community identify as important. I mean who remembers which patch did what over the first 2-3 weeks at launch, and more importantly who cares. PoM spellweave is kick ass today, and I use it regularly as part of my teams tactics. Having that said I think both you and Avery are overly agressive in your responses, when you really just misunderstand eachother.
Spellweaving is hands down the worst part of AoC.
I like casters and was hoping to get something fresh and interesting. Instead I got crappy and boring. First time I did spellweaving I remember I almost didn't belive how bad it was. I thought I was doing something wrong

I didnt misunderstand athing. Avery knows every facet of the game and he knows that I played at launch and left after a couple of months. Just so you are clear on something: When someone who was there at launch asks a question about whether or not something changed it must mean something to THEM which could be the something that might bring them back. Obviously this subject isnt even close to a make or break for anyone but I was asking a simple question.
If you like the game and want more players you would do well to remember that when someone who has played the game asks a question about a particular feature. THAT is how you might get othe rplayers back to the game.
Well I wasnt going to disuss its viabilty but that was a complain early on.
Have you read up on how to use it so that it is beneficial? Again I havent played in quite some time and I would hope they have made changes to make it more of a feature people would have a use for. I'm sure Avery could give some input on any changes that were made to it since the time I played.
I just thought it was very cool looking and never really used it for much but some poeple found uses for it in raids I heard.
Heh how many posters have no clue
Let me say spellwaving is essential when it comes to mass PvP.
Futilez[Do You Have What It Takes ?]
Yup, spellweaving is used in raids, minigames, sieges, world pvp ... you name it. It looks just as cool as ever, I don't remember the animations changing but I played a bear shaman at that time. It has it's drawbacks aswell as it's usefulness of course in that you can't move while you use it. But in the right situation it's great.
As to having to the way spellweaving was advertised pre launch, well it doesn't actually live up to that hype and it's a pretty simple process where you either have enough stamina to keep spell weaving or you stop because you will lose health once you are out of stamina. No real skill involved except choosing when you should use it or stay mobile.
Still waiting on Avery to comment on being dead wrong unless he uses "optimization" the same way AOC Devs seem to.
