And…. Angry killer corn?! What the…?

rare stuff

my experiences are that its either or, and sometimes in the same guild.

Either you powerbuild you char, and raid, after some strict raid rules, Or, you hang around RP in the noob towns.

eksample:

My GF got in trouble when her hunter, did not have the ability to set traps in a certain instance. The traps was deselected due to there “magic” nature (ice fire etc) with didn’t seam appropriate for that kind of hunter (no xbow og gun either)

AION is just like all the MMO’s (at least up to level 17) the quest help are massive, (blue flags on minimap for all persons you need to talk to on all your quests) and locate function build in on all quests. ( no need for the rogue browser anymore)

and Yes, its REAL beautifull, (cryengine, and Korean taste in design, a little.. nahh total over the top)

but I got to shape shift into a Angry killer Corn, the other day, that a first.

I haven’t tried AION – how is it compared to the other MMO’s out there?

And yes, having a kid makes it damn near impossible to get time to play games, hehe. My daughter was born this september – so, I only have time to play very late at night and at the University.

But that said, for me at least this MMO endgame stuff require to much commmitment, for raising child at the same time.

I am playing AION atm, and enjoying the hack n slash, and the “even more” improved quest system.

I know that it is possible to get to lvl 80 pretty fast in WoW, but honestly, most people will never play like that. most people will move around the world, chat a bit, do some quests, explore, try out different gear etc. etc. But having some sort of raid feature for lower level players would actually be pretty cool. Of course you would then need to figure out how to keep everything balanced, so higher level players don’t go into low level raids, and also make sure that the raids are actually possible to do for lower levels who will, most likely, increase their level pretty fast (so the raid needs to be doable without 2 years of gear adjusting).

Have you tried STO – it just disappointed me a lot. It really has a nice setting and some good ideas, its just the implementation of gameplay mechanics that fails.

The concept is that many different people with different skillsets can interact with each other and party up. This is the reason for “grind” style questing i.e. the more storyline that is mainstream to the game the harder is becomes for people to play with their friends as they will move ahead or to be boosted through the game to catch up with their friends.

I wonder what your opinions are on endgame content in MMO’s, Getting to LVL 80 in WoW requires roughly 10 days of playtime, then there are dailies and gearing up LOTS before you get into the raids. Is it ingenious to keep people working at the game, how would it differ if people could raid from the get go?
