No Game Yet?

[Darxus]

So do we have a game yet? I'm getting sick of beating Astoron in Civ 4.;)

[Daefuin]

Some of us are going to start playing ArchLord. Servers go live tomorrow... You should check it out Darx. Open PvP after 15, item loot implented sometime soon.

[Dempig]

wait so item loot isnt up at launch? wtf. that scares me , i dont want another WoW.

[Daefuin]

Nah, but it's already in on the Chinese version of the game. So, just waiting for them to get it coded here. I'm pretty confident it will happen...

Edit: It's the same development team that does the Chinese and English versions of the game. Since the English version is just coming out they have to tweak things, translate, etc for it. It will get here, just a matter of when. I'm happy with the progress so far though.

[Dempig]

Are you sure its definately in? Have they said it wsas def. in?

[Dempig]

And any time frame on when it comes out? I dont wanna buy it yet if its like 2 months from now.

[Daefuin]

Yah, one of the guys on the forums plays the chinese version and was commenting about it.

[Daefuin]

Time frame? No, but definately before people start hitting the upper levels. I'm not entirely sure the ArchLord battles and castle sieges work yet, they have started to implement that stuff too though... so it's coming along.

Dempig if you dont make a char and start leveling now your not gonna be able to take any1's shit when it does come out lol

[Dempig]

Bah , getting less and less excited for this game. From Forums

"From korean and chinese version I saw, everytime a player die from pvp, 0-2 items from inventory will drop and can be looted. There are blessing scroll can be purchased from mall to prevent items drop, each item takes 1 scroll.
"

FUCKING HATE NO DROP ITEMS , i sure as hell hope those scrolls are insanely expensive and limited to how many you can buy.

[Awakened]

Lol man item loot isnt the greatness of this game. The griefing potential is huge.

[Dempig]

Item loot is why i want this game >_<

I would still be playing WoW if i wanted pointless pvp.

[Awakened]

You cant talk shit in WoW and its not FFA

[Dempig]

Psssh item loot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> shit talking

[Sufari]

with a good guild we can close whole area's down in this game. items's from players will be the icing on the cake .

but we gunna need people so i hope u give it a shot

[Samanel]

Let's see if the scrolls have a "1 time death use" in them, so they ahve to keep buying another to prevent them from losing an item

Beware of the manual camera control in archlord, its horrible. They could have at least programmed a little AI into it.

[Oberyom]

OMG darxus is still around!? Hey man remember me?

the camera control had several different modes - its in the options section :P

imo January will be too early to release VSoH, I'm betting it will be pushed back at least 4 months - they still have alot of work ahead of them

[Astoron]

VoSH is to be released sometime this winter correct?

Febuary is the target date. However, the game is nowhere near ready. If they rush this out, it will fail horribly. I already predict subscriptions will drop sharply in the 2-3 months after release. They WILL release this game too early. The game is barely at the halfway point in beta 3.

Starting areas are not even finished. All classes are not available.

Also, some classes are having their special abilities withheld. They will never become available for "testing" untill the game goes live. Vanguard is not handling quality assurance correctly by keeping parts of classes secret.

The graphic load is horrendous and is still being tweaked. Even with all options turned down with a 512mb video card and 2 gigs of ram, you will have frame lag.

The world is hollow and empty, large distances between camps. The world is massive in the extreme. The game size is 21 gigs. Basically if you dont know exactly where to go, you wont be leveling competitively at release. Speed hacking will be rampant in this game.

the leveling is hardcore. the death penalty used to be hardcore but they toned it down. its similar to EQ1 original release, if you can remember that far back. Even slower if you dont remember. You cant outrun mobs realistically right now, you screw up you die.

If anyone has any questions let me know.

Yeah VG won't be released for a while I bet. They need to optimize performance as well or PvP will be lovely.
