    1. Nodes System... This thing is so good T-T
    2. Random ( and sometimes savage) PvP, restricted in order to prevent abuses
    3. Class variety and I hope VIABILITY too
    4. The Dream is real => Hype => We have a lot of expectations so it feels like we can't free ourselves from the game until we have concrete proof that what we expected is not going to happen or will happen. But until now, everything is fine.
    5. Something no one said yet: no p2w
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Mentioning some things that weren't said, there's:
    Four pillars
    Subscription based
    Sticks to the theme of the world (no schoolgirl costumes, etc.) [hopefully]
    Wide class variety
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    - Devs want to create/ invent something new in the MMO world
    - interaction with the world (PVE or PVP etc.)
    - no p2w
    - graphics

    I was following the game since several months and the Devs communication is the key factor for me. They managed to make me believe in what they're working on.
    So for the first time in my life I decided to be a backer...

    1. No P2W
    2. Node system
    3. Griefer punishment
    4. Caravan
    5. Hidden-trigger events
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    • No P2W
    • Severe punishment of gankers
    • Subscription model
    • Crafting is meaningful
    • Openness of Devs
    • Caravans
    • Character creation concepts (as we have nothing right now)
    • Class system concepts (still so much more info to go)
    • Hopefully character based skills and not action-y skills of actual person (please no jumping red circles)
    • Housing/Freeholds (big one for me)
    • Impacting the world and it's development - actions/choices have meaning
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    These are great lists.  Definitely see some themes starting to emerge.  :)
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    - Not F2p
    - Western

    No clue =D Love what I see so far but I need more details before I am hyped. At this point I love the community and the node system. As a PvPer I love the idea. Other then that we know almost nothing.

    1. PvP concept at this stage sounds phenomenal
    2. PvE sounds as though it will have active interactions with the game world itself. Not just limited to an, okay lets go fight this mob/boss.
    3. The crafting systems could be genre defining if preliminary indications pan out well.
    4. The node system! Wow what a stellar concept
    5. Monster Coins!!! Who doesn't wanna play a raid boss ?!?! hello!
    6. Class system sounds very promising and could potentially deliver some long outstanding class customization options that have been missing from the MMORPG genre.
    7. P2W ..... thank you. Lets reward our dedicated, hardworking players rather than those who have the largest budget of disposable income.
    8. Dwarves! The best race =D

     1. Node system - maybe

    I've been giving this a lot of thought, and I confess I'm bit puzzled as to why AoC is so hyped. In fact, I'm a bit puzzled as to why I'm excited about AoC.

    The node system is really the only thing that comes to mind for me, but since I'm not sure I can adequately explain the node system, I'm not sure why the idea appeals to me so much.

    Not that the other reason given here aren't good reasons (they are), but they aren't unique to this game. Being that the reasons are mostly subjective, I think many of the reasons given could be said for a lot of games out there.

    Maybe all the hype is simply mob mentality we've all gotten caught up in ;)

    A friend asked why I was so looking forward to AoC, and my response was: "um, it has a node system."  "What's that?"  "Um...it's hard to explain. Check out the website."  

    I can't say that I did a very good job of winning him over lol
