completley agree...although if they used the percentages and getting knocked out of the stage style of combat like in Smash then it might be a little bit TOO much copying, i guess? Even so, I do seem to enjoy that type of style a bit more...I guess because its fun to hone in on characters that you know has a low percentage to knock them out. In this, I just feel like I'm just beating the crap out of anyone close by wiithout any real strategy just to build my super to 3 and kill away..anyone else feel like that? Maybe i'm not playing the game right, i dont know..

Putting my two cents in...I am the type of guy who usually just waits for reviews on a game(both multiple user and websites) before purchasing, so that I dont spend my hard earned cash on something that may not be of quality. However, this time around I said screw it and just bought the game...

Personally, I have really been enjoying so far. From the art design, your own unique story, the cool races and interesting professions, it's all been really fun. Character customization is much deeper than other MMO's I've played. It's a breath of fresh air and different from any MMO I've played before; I truly enjoy the dynamic event system for questing and how a bunch of people in the area all get together for a common goal. I agree that these times do seem hectic as everyone is just attacking whatever monster, but it's still fun and happens periodically enough that it doesnt seem too constant. The various weapons to each profession with their own unique attacks, as well as different underwater combat and skills makes things interesting as well.

The fact that the game takes away all that "fluff" that just wastes time in regular MMO's makes it a great game for me. I don't have the time to sit on a griffon for 20 minutes to get to the other side of the world. Fast travel, and getting right into the action is what I'm all about. The fact that the game has no subscription makes everything I said all the more sweeter. Hope that helps!

hey man thanks for sharing..been on the fence about this game but will wait until more people give their thoughts and more reviews come out to make a decision.

played the first one, and i just didnt like all of the instanced zones and how everyone towards end game looked pretty much the same in terms of armor or whatever...
