I don't hope this is a real trailer for WoW as it shows absolutly no gameplay at all, just a alot of running/flying and ghey elf~ish looking dudes dancing in their underwear? :/

And that they can entertain the small kids with their cartoony graphics :rolleyes:

i'd take a better game overall which is being continuously developed and improved than better gfx any day
they are cartoony because the Warcraft franchise is in those gfx... it always has been, it always will be.
Warcraft 1 & 2

Why is that so hard to comprehend to alot of people on this forum, i can only assume its people being defensive as they know Daoc is all but dead

Seriously "cartoony gfx" flames are getting old and boring

been saying it from the start ;),i personally think the gfx are pretty.. but then i am one of those people who play dota :p

Before wow was crappy because of lack of end game, daoc is now in the same boat simply because there is noone in the end game.
Interserver wars there are now are great imo, i hope they copy daoc's pvp system in the future, then the game would be the best one out there currently. Personally i think they should go one step further and allow players to take towns as their own by killing off all the NPC's bar newbie areas, just add a handicap such as lower cards so players are forced to defend them

I opened a ticket at 10pm on a saturday because one of my quests were bugged, i was answered in game at 10:30pm and the issue was resolved, the closest you would get in daoc would be if you know a E&E personally or a gm on msn.. even thenits once in a blue moon where someone comes on to help.

you are basing that on shitty goa and their attitude to players (they couldn't care less about the customer) though, over in the US Mythic are just as fast as blizzard in most cases, it even gives you an eta on an answer.

anyway for me wow was just to dull, pve to get gear to do some more pve? no thanks, also the fact that 9/10 wow players have no idea what to do in an mmo and just end up getting you killed all the time.

The graphics are nice in wow, they have their own character, though it lacks the immersion factor simply because it does look far to childish.

Your basing that on one experince of a server, with a high population of children persumably. (some servers are actually quite good - with people who know what they are doing..)

i couldnt care less about Mythic servers...
I play on EU daoc servers, and i play on EU WoW servers.
I compare the 2 services i am getting, the US servers are completely irrelevant to be honest mate.

You also havent played wow rescently, you no longer need to pve to get descent gear the new pvp system allows you to buy on the par gear using tokens. No need to pve at lvl 60 anymore unless you like to.
It was the same in Daoc, to do instances like the dragon or ml10 in small private raids you had to get your char tweaked for pve. Which is why it wasnt publicly announced and the people in it were in it because they were experienced but to a lesser extent simply because daoc pve was not difficult, not challenging and definitely not intelligent.. And trust me i did ALOT of higher level pve in daoc (i blame danord for continuously raising the bar of "what can you solo").
WoW by comparison has very enjoyable in my opinion because it is a challenge, to me the ideal pve would be instances which are different every time you do them, a completely different mob set every time you enter the dungeon to keep you interested.

As for the comment about the players, you can be selective on who you invite seeing as a grp only has 5 slots. The only exception being raids, where there are stupid people in every game im afraid. The thing with wow is all the instances are player limited making them more of a challenge, as a result you cant just blanket kick whole guilds (hi BC ;)) from a raid and it not make a difference.

You are however right, the game depth is pretty shallow by comparison to the previous warcraft saga which i was pretty disapointed in (the main reason i quit in the first place), saying that so is daoc post-si. But again its being developed as the game age's, something Mythic never really did, and stopped doing altogether after SI

barely, WoW has already had more development done on it and it hasnt even had a expansion out yet, thats the point.

Actually. WoW ain't that "cartoony" when you play it a while. Sure it might look like it "on paper", but like one smart one said, "You have to play it to feel it".

Screenshots, videos. Don't do it justice.

I used to play DAoC, religiously, but honestly, it's boring compared to WoW. It's just, not real enough and tries to be too real. WoW has the balance found out.

Not all players go for the "but this game statistics are like this and the poweroutput is like this and the water is like oooh and the endgame the endgame!!!"

You know? The world is better, much better, then the one in DAoC.

then dont critisise it because u dont play it then :)

its a fun game for what it is, a better pve game then DAoC will ever be.

the pvp is shit but the gear u can get from it makes it worth the grind.

1. I have played it
2. I am not critising it
3. The PvE everyone bangs on about is complete bollocks "bring me 10 murloc finns" "bring me 10 boar tusks" it's not revolutionary and great and never will be.

as someone who has played both DAOC and WoW and is now playing neither of them out of boredom for all things computer game related, i can offer my personal unbiased opinion!

DAOC has un-beatable PvP. Running in a regular full group and getting into other 8v8 fights is the most fun i have ever had in a computer game full stop. DAOC PvE on the other hand is a real drag. There were one or two encounters that were fun the first time round, impressive etc, but the repetativeness really brought PvE down, plus Mythics method of just bolting on expansion packs without thinking, and adding to the PvE load without really boosting the PvP just killed off the game for me.

WoW is outstanding for PvE. The engine works so well and the encounters are actually fun to battle through no matter how many times you do them, plus the drop system is pretty good. WoW PvP is some of the worst ive ever come across though, i dont understand where all the fun goes. Blizzard manage to turn a great game into a snooze fest as soon as PvP is involved. Its just grinding over and over with no real challenge, just rewards for spending 12 hours a day in a boring capturetheflag/points scenario. The "exciting" new arena system is even worse.


SO there you have it, as im a PvP junkie, DAOC gets my vote even though WoW is a better made game overall. And because this is way off topic, il add that Timo Mass is cool.

Shame is, I don't even like WoW. I don't like the graphics, the incredible amount of idiots/kiddos, the annoying russians, the leveling up to 60(soon to become 70), the importance of right gear, the fugly gnomes, the silly events and the imbalanced PvP, yet I still am part of the "online sensation". Simply because I can't find any other mmorph worthwhile and there are so many people playing WoW :(
