Ryzom has world events that are awesome to behold, but a newer player will get one-shotted by any of the mobs associated with such events. It is largely a spectator event until you build your combat skills. I do remember GM's creating a few events…

filmoret said: I've seen quite a few posts about class freedom in various threads and my concern is with the players who don't seem to know the difference. They think that class freedom means they should be able to play any class the way they …

What's missing? A 3D sandbox without free-for-all pvp. I'm not familiar with Ark or Reign of Kings, so sorry if they are an exception.

Dynamic spawn locations - hunting should involve ... hunting. Quest givers don't need exclamation points above their heads, nor do they have to stand in a predictable location. They can travel between towns just like players do. Mini-maps are unn…

10 to 15 years ago, mmorpg communities were much nicer. Global chat was often both interesting and helpful. Idiots existed but always seemed to be a small minority. The big difference, in my opinion, is not the evolution in game design so much as…

Time spent socializing in a virtual world does not give the same advantages as time spent socializing in the real world. When you move into a new apartment and need help getting your furniture moved, your guild-mates across the globe can't help you…

As for finding people with similar play styles to group with, any game could easily add a "personality flag". Alganon did this (yes that game did have one good idea). If you are not familiar with the Bartle Test you can google that. Nick Yee made…

Originally posted by Sunshinee So when I hear Immersion breaking as an argument I'm left confused. Are these individuals pretending that they are their own actual characters they see on screen and want to be "immersed" in this feeling of being i…

I had to laugh about their dedication to an art style described as both "17th century" and "medieval european". Some of it was was great and some was completely immersion breaking. I quit just as they were adding bikinis and beach parties to the g…

Looks like another themepark. I love realistic graphics but sandbox gameplay is far more important to my immersion than lovely graphics. Ten races could be interesting, if the differences are more than just cosmetic.

I was pleased to learn of the traditional combat system in AA. That is one of the reasons I will buy this game when it releases in the west. I like old-school tab targetting better than action-combat. The other reason people are excited is, of co…

Elikal, Many gamers share your opinion and frustration. I don't look for revolutionary games anymore. There is little chance of a major breakthough in systems or gameplay for someone who thinks the state-of-the-art peaked over six years ago. As …

I would rather developers devote their resources to other things than "personal stories". They are a negative aspect of the game to me. I'm just starting GW2 and it is very annoying to hear my character say things he would never say. I can invent…

Originally posted by chelan Originally posted by eddieg50 I notice that people come on the forum and say there are no good Sandcbox games to play, they should play Ryzom. It has great harvesting, meaningfull crafting, good combat, open world, g…

Good to know. I'll go back and check settings to see if the other crap can be disabled too. OP: another game you might try is Xyson. At launch it was still a pretty rough indy project with no worthwhile comabt system but that has probably chan…

Others have mentioned them but I will confirm that Vanguard and Ryzom sound most like what you want. If asian games don't make you gag you might try Perfect World. I understand how you feel. I just tried GW2 and it made me gag. I was instantly a…

Does the graphics engine change after the starter zone?

I liked the surprise attacks that spawned while foraging. Otherwise these sound like great changes. I have been thinking of returning to AoC and I probably will once this goes live.

You certainly don't need to be good at magic to be good at melee. Everyone should develop a bit of healing magic to rez a downed buddy but that is all. You don't need any crafting skill to be good at melee. I make my own weapons because i enjoy …
