WoW vs A:IR - feature comparison

[RemasteredClassic]

Let's see, A:IR= (all classes get these)
- flying mount at level 1
- own air ship- combat - piloting and fighting just like in EVE ONLINE
- Mecha combat machine, own tinker class
- gliding- best of demon huntards
- kickass world design and story
- fun game play and rotations
- best of both worlds of tab targeting and action combat
- horde vs alliance type factions, story and races (elves, humans, orcs)
- gear in lower levels looks like top end game raiding gear
- best character creation ever
- player housing
- awesome crafting, production and professions system
- Massive RvR battles, Arena (1v1,2v2,3v3), battlegrounds
- Pursue a specific player of the enemy faction for revenge
- Outlaw zone - FFA PVP / 5man PVE open world mini bosses - everyone outside of party is killable regardless of faction
- Dungeons and raids
- 1-50 solo challenges (like in the level cap ones in legion)
- Buy to play, no p2w, no monthly sub
- Frequently iterated, tweaked, optimized and improved engine / graphics
- Stance (spec) dancing for all classes!

WoW:
- Today I like you, tomorrow I don't (basically the story of horde/alliance perpetuated)
- 4 button spec-centric rotations - puke
- 90% of the game is invalidated / irrelevant previous expansion game content that new players will never experience at level cap
- Mythic raiding for 0.1% of the player base - waste of dev time / resources, if only these can be scaled to cap so normal people could eventually do them - WoW's best selling point is raids, but can't do 95% of them at level cap. Genius.
- The most toxic, frustrated and dysfunctional gamer "community"
- No stance dancing even for the classes that once had it by default.

I look at your name, then I look at your post and I laugh at the irony.

Ahh yes, another Korean MMO being translated for the west. Like every previous Korean MMO people had such high hopes for over the past 15 years, it will be grindy as hell and have pay2win patched after it fails to find an audience here.

[Calfredd]

Heavy Bias Ahoy!

So what are the points you are trying to make? I see apples and oranges but the only thing they have in common is that they're both fruit (MMOs).

"I'm going to compare these two games."

Game 1: *Picks very select features that sound good, leaves the rest of the annoying ones out*

Game 2: *Picks very select features to cry about, ignore the rest of the good ones*

"Game 2 is bad!"

What is A:IR?

Low tier bait. Just go and play your korean shovelware grind mmo, probably with p2w store. Last time I checked it was still in beta in SE Asia and while for an UE3 mmo game - the likes of which the studio shits one out every other year - it looks quite good, it suffers from the usual issues, from mediocre optimization to rather bland questing content.

What is A:IR?

Ascent: Infinite Realm

[Seranthor]

What is A:IR?

This is what I was thinking...

Found the trailer... 65 seconds in and I'm not impressed... I'll stay with my stable of games... Wow, FFXIV, ESO.

[SinR]

Let's See...

No news updates for 1 year?
Korean game?
Piss-Poor optimization when theres lots of action?

H A R D Pass. WoD Squared levels of Pass

[Doomchicken]

I am not sure which sucks harder. Ascent, or the thread.

A:IR
Cons: You can count the frames per second

[Schattenlied]

No Paladin or Paladin like archetype class... my interest is nearly 0 on that alone.

How is flying mounts at level 1 a good thing? Serious question.

[Schattenlied]

It's not, flying mounts are something that MMOs should have never started allowing.

How is flying mounts at level 1 a good thing? Serious question.

I don't know if I agree with it or not, but just trying to think of the possible reasons here, so bear with me.

1. Players who can fly will fly straight to their quest objectives effectively skipping the "world" experience. However, I don't know about other people, but I do the same thing already in BFA, I just don't fly. I run straight past everything on my trusty steed. Experience isn't different aside from it taking me longer, now.

2. If flying isn't simply bought, it needs to be unlocked (imagine current Pathfinder). Instead of enjoying new content (say, 8.2), everyone is grudging trying to "get it out of the way" so they can unlock the ever-so-sought-after Flying. Now, no one likes the new content and everyone sees it as an annoying rep grind.

Like I said, I don't know if I agree or if it's good, but those are two possible reasons I could think of. It's also worth noting that a properly designed zone WITH flying is MUCH LARGER than a zone without or a zone with but was designed without.

How much are the devs paying you to shill their game (which is still in beta LOL) here, OP?

Also the trailer is split 50/50 on likes and dislikes, that's always a good sign

[Super Kami Dende]

I quite literally had to look up what A:IR was, which tends to mean it is likely a severely trash and/or unknown game.

[Niroshi]

Even just based on your apparently "best pitch" based on list only half of the things on it seem remarkable, and half again are bog standard MMO features.

Like no way they have raids AND dungeons?! Incredible!

Another day another asian MMO
