    Is this really an MMO though (completely open world, no instances)? Or is it room-based?
    "Loss of blood... My only weakness!"
    ~ Warlord Khan, Magicka

    Anyway, if you don't already see where I'm going with this, allow me to spell it out: the only meaningful MMORPG "endgame" -- i.e., something novel to do after the progression process is over -- is that of the sandbox.

    From what I saw it's pretty much a MMO. First area is open world and I was running into people left and right.

    Whats armor customization like? Will we be able to change something besides color?

    I also have a Dota 2 key I'd be willing to trade if someone has a Firefall key they aren't using.

    right now you can pick from a couple of colors on character creation but nothing in game after that as far as that goes. I think you might find further customization to be part of the Market they will create, since they only want cosmetic stuff to be for sale with things like decals or paint jobs as possibilities. We won't know for sure till they open up the store

    I absolutely love the changes with the new patch, especially new darkness of night time. It adds a whole new feel. Thumping at night with flashlights is awesome.

    I second this notion. This game looks very VERY impressive so far. But then again so did Tera. Guess I'd have to try it to find out.

    argghh fps

    Not a big fan of fps games, they are okay to watch but I am no good at them, I will not buy many fps games, so this game will have to be perfect if its going to make me want it, but I doubt it :P

  17. #177
    Interesting, but seeing the guy back pedal in the air while firing... That would hurt my fingers since my index finger is usually the one for pressing my spell/fire/action buttons on the UI. I'm sure it will all be really fun though ^.^

    I've currently been playing beta and this isn't really JUST an FPS mmo, its mainly played in third person, but can be swapped to FPS.

    The game in general has been a blast, and if done right, could be a serious competitor to wow more-so than GW 2 and Tera. The main draw is probably the random world events that occur and just the sheer amount of excitement of being able to fly around and shoot shit.

    I'm usually the guy that says oh no this wont be a wow kill, and I dont think it will be either, but its going to be the go to game for when current raid teir is stale for me. Its not going to be another button masher, or a casting spell game, its going to be what battle field 3 was for me inbetween raids and still be able to raid/group up with my friends in another MMO.

    I really hope they implement some PvE dungeons and raids. Would make this game a very sweet side game to wow. It has the potential to be the next world of warcraft w/o killing the giant. Instead I feel that these two games with all the similarities and their differences will co-exist with one another.

    You can't see how successful LoL is? Trolls must be out in droves tonight.
    I hate to be the troll here, but, quantity =/= quality.

    See minecraft.


    @topic
    I have a beta invite for that.
