/\ Ha!
If I had to guess, and God I hope I am wrong, they are going to mass turn and burn their IP's and farm them for whatever cash they are worth. These same people hired Rich Vogel. I mean really?
What is going to be great is when after this launches, that it fails to get the 250 million back, and the goal they have of sold boxes, digtal and subs expected after launch.
Then who wants to bet just like Tortanic they dont have FTP model, Hybrid sub model ready to go which with insure monthes more of comedy gold of the train wreck.

From reading the above, it seems like there is a shit ton of crap not finished or not going to make it in by launch, namely the thieves and assassin guilds which is like the only ones worth a damn.
But the dude did have a good first impression...

Yep.
Rumor has it Battlecry will be working on a new Fallout MMORPG.

Gamespot still needs to replace that with Zenimax rather than Bethesda.
Zenimax Media has been making some terrible decisions lately. I guess it was only a matter of time
I do kind of still like the idea they're putting forward for the combat mechanic of swing/block on the mouse, 5 attacks + 1 super attack for hotkeys and that's it. I find that appealing over lots and lots of buttons and abilities myself.
Nothing that I see or hear gives me much confidence that the implementation is that tremendous though.
And what was he saying about classes? You just change your weapon and you have an entirely different skillset? Like Guild Wars 2 or was there something more to it?

I'd actually have some hope for this game if they delayed it a year or so to redo every single animation in the game.

I like how in that video the Dev keeps talking about all the cool things the AI will do and how the AI will be different and the AI will work together depending on the situations but doesn't give one fucking example at all or anything. He basically is talking about what supposed to be one of the defining characteristics of their combat system but cant give one example? Fuck why do they have to ruin another franchise.
All these videos are 10 minutes of developer speak. Everyone here that actually believes what they are saying needs to bookmark those videos. Then when the game is launched and you play it compare your experience to what they said.
Then you'll understand my point of view from the EQN thread from a month ago.

Well, to be fair, in the video I watched, he did show an example. In it, he said the mobs will group together (team-up) and attack the person with the highest threat. /groundbreaking.

here's one about crafting:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=Ed2VZXMJo8Y
A generalist can learn all 5 skills but not as well as a specialist, you can experiment by using additives, there's a synergy between skills so an enchanter can add buffs to your crafted sword, and smiths start with their racial style, e.g. elves get elven armor, but then can learn the other racial styles somehow...
Also they talked a bit about progressing by adding skill lines from other than your class for example from joining the mage's guild or getting the vampire skill line.

SWTOR also gave me a good first impression, at least until the second planet.
The skill tree in this game sounds kind of fun, at least.

It just sounds that they used the 'throw everyone at the wall and see what sticks' development style. I mean you can't communicate cross faction, until you hit 50 and go 'try out' another faction then you can talk to them but you'll still be cut off in Cyrodil it seems. Also if whatever faction you picked is sucking in your particular campaign (which lasts from 3-6 months) the dev's can 'open up an influx of new toons' somehow to your faction/campaign and hope they help you out in pvp. Ugh, i'm sure that would go over well with the other 2 factions in your campaign.

That's the problem itself! They have zero idea wtf they are doing, they are copy/slap pasting whatever seems "good" on paper and hope the legions of fanboy's eat it up. If they had a clue they would have more info content to present instead of rebooting the project 18,000 times.
