Thoughts on the new gameplay teaser?

Just want to know what you guys think about the teaser, it was alright to me seeing it wasn't a cinematic at least ! Would have liked to see maybe some different armors or weapons than the ones in apoc.

I don’t really need a teaser to have coherence between scenes.
Teasers just give quick glimpses of the content.

The “story” I got from the teaser is:
“Here’s a party of characters defending their town from raptors.
Oh, and hey! It’s also now possible to ride on horses and gryphons - and the dragons look cool!”

Teasers typically have the timeline all over the place.

I agree to disagree there^^

It was like reading a "choose your own adventure" book, but instead of skipping pages, its read straight thru page-to-page....

Being Coherent is extremely important.

It makes you think of a 3D tower defense game rather than an MMORPG that requires group play.

I guess someone thought ... "well hey... everyone likes dinosaurs, and those raptors (that are not even close to the actual dimensions of a real Velociraptor of 30 lbs) that gained fame from the Jurassic Park movies were a total hit, lets put those in the game... and have them attack an entire city... just 5 of them though."

Lets see now....
over-sized Velociraptors.. ✓
Battle Royale ✓
Got off flying mounts to fight mounted infantry ✓
Dragons with impossibly small wings shooting fire ✓
Janky animations while playing epic music score ✓
random explosions like being in a modern artillery barrage ✓
Horses exploding and burning when they crash... Missed opportunity!
lots of glowy light sources during the day ✓
large globby dust particles everywhere ✓
complete sellout ✓
AAA game..... not so much.

Oh dear god.... take that video down. The entire things is mashed together showing off "glowy stuff" and is horribly animated. Not sure what look you were going for... but if laughable.... and Derek Smart like... were your goals.... you nailed it. If you want a reference to what I am talking about look up "Line of Defense official trailer"

^ Sounds like a michael bay movie...

You know... If we could choose Raptor as a player race... Levels and abilities, but no gear... Id do it.. lol

The negativity is getting hard to read by now.

Had such high hope for the game. After seeing the BR and this, I have to give the teaser and the game two thumbs down.
Word of mouth at the gaming club I play with is to stay away from this game!

It's been a few years and i have yet too see gameplay that reflects one of the first trailers we were shown.

If I were an outsider I wouldn't pay money to play that MMO.
It's super disheartening seeing because this was supposed to be the original time the game was to be in a beta stage or released.

Do you mind if i ask you how your hopes have diminished? the game is what in alpha so its faaaar away from being complete. Me and my friends are opposite we are still excited sure we take all promises with a grain of salt been around the gaming scene for many years now.

But i still think this game can come out good if they continue this openess with their community and we as a comunnity give them the right feedback and proper critism not just "hurr durr this suxzooor".

Art of War is similar to the trailer above - but better graphics.
Apoc is pretty much like what we see in the trailer above - without Levitation. Levitation is no longer in the current game design.
What do you see in that trailer that we have yet to experience in actual gameplay?

at least that video feels like a MMO unlike the new trash

What makes the It's Dangerous To Go It Alone trailer feel like an MMORPG in a manner that the new MMORPG teaser does not??

well, the old one feels like you are a new adventure who goes out into the world looking for the old ruins of Verra while the new one looks like 5v5 mobs and 5v5 fights and a dragon because dragons are cool.

Dygz

What about 5v5 mobs, 5v5 fights and dragons are not indicative of an MMORPG???
It's just different types of encounters one might experience in an MMORPG.
In fact, the old trailer, Dangerous To Go IT Alone, could be a BR.
Whereas, at least, the new teaser shows characters in combat with mobs.

I dont want to post it here.. But to be fair.. Some of the pre-alpha/alpha/beta footage from Warhammer Online looked horrendous.. scripted mobs, and encounters just swinging at one another clearly doing no damage.. just all a stage..

I think that is what killed this trailer for me.. Too scripted, too staged.. with no story or flow as such.. "meh" animations, but some really nice models.. but also a long side "meh" models like the player models.

I understand crunch, I worked for a studio for a while.. All these developers have my deepest respect. But because of that, I know they can do better.

To me, that Female Mage we see in the early trailers looks insanely better then the current player models in Apoc.

Yea I mean it's nice to see them showing things but the problem is it's supposed to be an "MMORPG teaser" That has me a little worried. I guess they had to call it that to catch people at gamescom but I don't understand what person would take interest in this when there's nothing playable at the moment and just being honest, compared to other stuff at gamescom... I mean..

Dygz

The devs have plenty of other vids they can show of actual gameplay if they want.
I dunno why people act like this new teaser is the only one available.

Because this is the one posted on the IGN YouTube channel, meaning it could very well be the first thing people see about the game. If this trailer was the first impression I had of a game I wouldn't be interested in it at all.
