Horrible
I was playing during the preview weekend and this game is something I absolutely would not pay money for. The graphics are horrible, the click to move was so outdated and the "press this button then this one then this one" directions were pathetic. Having you punch buttons and that's all is really just too simple, so if you're a kid that likes to smash buttons without any real skill to speak of, this is the game for you.
EDIT: By the way, the screen shots are NOT an accurate depiction of what you will see in the game world. The graphics are even less than sub par.

Anything specific about the graphics you didn't like? The system specs you posted should let you play with reasonably high settings, in which case you should have been able to achieve visuals reasonably close to the screenshots we've released.
Several beta testers have posted their own screenshots which closely approximate ours as well. Regardless, there's a new build we're preparing that contains significant visual upgrades and performance improvements, so you might want to wait until making a final judgement on the graphics.
Have to ask about "click to move" ... since Fury doesn't use click to move. WASD (or keys as set by the player) is used, same as an FPS (though you need to hold down right mouse button to get full mouse look currently).
We've heard a lot of testers comment on the "button masher" opinion you've expressed, and it's something we hope to improve. The early game experience doesn't appear to be revealing the real gameplay experience awaiting players who gain a few ranks. Based on tester feedback that opinion is one that gets discarded by testers who advance through the ranks, as they quickly discover that simply button mashing without thought results in getting beaten by skilled players who have explored the depth and variety of abilities available.
_________________________
While I probably won't be playing Fury, to be honest this persons opinion is the minority from what I've seen. The graphics are not cutting edge but they are far from poor, my system is very similar to the OPs but a bit better graphics card. WASD movement is available, the comment about the ''so if you're a kid that likes to smash buttons without any real skill to speak of'' makes the OPs post seem like a worthless attempt at a troll.
The performance is a great issue. People like the op (or me for that matter) log in and actually expect a decent performance with our rigs at reasonable settings. So when we log in we need to turn the graphics all the way down. The game then looks like diablo on steroids. I know Vanguard lost a lot of players because of such performance issues.
Oh and no FSAA implementation (yet) doesn't make it better. I am not into this whole programming thingy. To me FSAA is the the one thing that I turn to at least 2x when I enter the graphic options in games. Even if I have to turn shadows, environment etc. aaaaall the way down. I just don't want games to look like starcraft anymore. But that is me. Probably there is a solid reason though why programmers often implement it at the last second before lunch.
Another thing that wasn't there (yet) would be "mouse roll-over" explanations of stats. Mind me that is not a big issue, but to a newbie (like me) it can be a huge turn off because we have to actually google what some of the three letter abreviations mean (or yell and get some clown to give us a hoax answer).
Basically I liked the gameplay though - although I didn't know what the heck I was doing.
But I can easily imagine that once I get it grip on how it works, it could be a fun game.
OP joined August 7, 2007. Why would someone make an account here just to bad mouth a game... Sounds like a bad experience that is out of Auran's hands. The "click to move" comments leads me to believe that they haven't even played the game.
I'm thinking blizzard dev trying to draw attention away from Fury....
Performance improvements aren't far away. The team are working away on a major upgrade at the moment, and that will roll out with revised minimum specs due to performance improvements that have been made.

I think that if you were involved in a serious clan vs clan vortex or elim that you would rue the day you ever said that there was no skill whatsover involved.
A copy paste from the Alienware site, interesting.
I must disagree with the graphics sucking (although I didn't like the character customization) but thats not what makes a game, its all about the gameplay. The truth is that I'm disappointed, I didn't think the game would be all about hitting keys. Then again thats just my opinion, some may like this type of gameplay.
My 2 cents.
its kinda sad that the game plays so differently for beginers and those who have advanced, makes if hard to see the non buttonmashing side of things
I'm half-asleep so if none of it makes sense, disregard.
mm i dunno. i'm running an old system. 7800 gt. so the graphics were shit for me obviously. but the gameplay reminded me of wow. in the bg's. maybe cause i was a beginner. Age of conan is appealing to me the most just because of its "real combat" system. that to me would make a good pvp game. and it would be like FPS but MMO style
. Do that fury and i will buy you. but other than. sick game for an aussie development. i luve near by : D well 30 mins away but hey.
die
I feel exactly the same, that is the only thing that will get me to buy a game.
There is no click to move, graphics are amazing, way to NOT play the game then bash it?
Go back to WoW little kid.

the game is great, gameplay, graphics, EVERYTHING. it's everything pvpers want, not pve "carebears" lol. if you signed up for another WoW copy, wrong place. fury breaks the mould, for those who like fps AND mmorpgs, a mix of the both. the aspects it takes from fps are entering an arena and kiking ass, and super fast pace WITH tactics. the guy who started the thread, just joined to draw ALL the ATTENTION that fury is getting over WoW. why else would make up a bunch of lies -"click to move" and have only made to posts overall, both this thread. and i only joined to post on this ridiculous thread, but ive been on the site for sometime.
Wow, this is an amazing thread - is it 2 or 3 new people to the MMORPG forums all with the same opinion which does not seem to match anything to do with the game.
Perhaps an MMORPG admin would care to check some IP addresses and who wants to bet once these new people get the right number of posts that there are a lot '1' hype meter posting
Why do people want to do this stuff - do they think every other gamer here is stupid - damn, give players some credit.

The gameplay probably reminds you of WoW because nearly every MMORPG's basic combat system is the same for years now(WoW is in fact an imitator like all the rest). AoC is a good step in the right direction with their 5pt combat system and no targeting melee but looking at videos so far it's a long way from really being a "real combat" system. For a game that's supposed to be highly competitive like fury($1,000,000 fury challenge coming!) sticking to the basics often ends up better. Well you said you liked the AoC system as well, you still have to click buttons to do actions, in fact you have to click MORE buttons(combo starter, then each combo in the chain). It could very well be more interesting, I certainly find it something to watch at the least, but saying you don't like to push buttons then claiming an AoC like system would be ideal is rather intriguing.Looking at your system specs not only are you using an outdated system but it's a notebook to boot. You were no doubt on the low end renderer and still getting rather poor performance. The high end renderer does look like the screenshots but you need an up to date computer to run at that level.

i played the preview weekend. and played for a grant total of 20 minutes.
the PVP was a total joke. the class balance was a joke. the skill use layout made me want to ram my head though a wall... and the bunny hopping was totally retarded
some of the maps looked like they got cloned from guildwars.... lmao and to be honust GW has better pvp
which is kind of sad cause i find GW really REALLY boring and lame...
i had expected to see acual skilled base PVP not a medevil wannabe FPS that sucked at doing both.
sorry the graphics sucked for me course i toned them down. i never play on max settings or over load my system with garbage i dont need WHO the hell needs super high end shadows or clouds.... only morons or noobs play mmos or any pvp based game with Max settings... extra lag = death lmao...
kind of sad that fury was trying to promote the game with the max settings cause i didnt even use em i had crappy graphics partly do to not using max for my system and because some of the lower end are not optimized..... which is rather odd if you think about it... graphics are normally the first thing optimized in any game so the graphical lag and memory leak issues are fixed in alpha....
all in all. fury may have potental but from what i saw its worse the autoassualt or guildwars on crack....
i cant possibly see paying a monthly sub for it even if it upgrades all that. the gameplay wasnt impressive and the balace of classes really needs work.
yes i know fury doesnt use standardized classes but it still does have base classes which you pick to start with. they need harsh balancing other wise its a lop sided pvp game...
I would suggest that you play for a bit longer, before forming such rash opinions.
Funnily enough none of our regular testers have such gripes with class balance...
perhaps they choose a diffrent class from me. i really dont care.
from what i saw of fury i was not impressed. i had high hopes for it as i generally like pvp but the battles i saw sucked.
the capture the "flag" was the only battle room that acually gave me enjoyment and the rest were less then impressive.
all in all i wont be playing fury. the fact it claims to be THE pvp game when i can open up games like Savage online or hell even a FPS/RTS game and have much better balanced PVP leaves me not wishing to pay monthly for fury.
sorry even WoW's BG had more impressive pvp. hopefully fury fixes the imbalance other wise your just going to see one kind of class dominate everyone else
All I can say is, I regret even downloading this. I was hoping this game would be at least decent. I know it's still in beta... but if this is any indication of what the actual game will be, I don't want it. The graphics are horrible (VERY outdated looking) and the game lags like hell. I really don't see GW having any competition as far as F2P pvp games go... not with what I've seen.
I got in for the first time this weekend.. In general, I was disappointed by the game.. My 2 cents
- Load times were absolutely awful
- Terrible lag even after I turned settings all the way down
- Long queues.. almost 10 minutes between games
- Confusing system.. Archetypes? Schools? Random trials? What is going on!?
- Combat was chaotic and ended too quickly..
The first three items in the list are going to be worked out over time..
I'm just a little disappointed in the game itself.. I think the beauty of Guild Wars is how simple it is to get into and how deep it can become. I was totally overwhelmed by this game from the start. It just seemed like there was too much going on.. Coupled that with awful performance, long waits, and combat that lasted 30 seconds and I had enough.
I'm willing to give it another go but probably not until some of the kinks get worked out..
Here's an opinion of somebody who's actually played the game for more than 20 minutes.... (read: 2 months)
It's true, you need a beast of a computer to run it at full blast. I have a pentium D 2.8. 2gigs memory, nvidia 7600gt. not a bad system. Above average i'd guess. Well I have to turn settings all the way down and still only get 20-30 fps. But hey, it's an excuse to upgrade for me
Gameplay is truly unique. There are no classes. You have the choice to use every single ability in the game mixed and matched all together. The type, rank and strength of an ability give it an "equip value." As you "level up" you are able to given expanded equip value. This allows higher level players to equip better armor and more, stronger skills.
You can change what abilities you take with you in between each battle. Be a healer one round and a fighter the next. There is an endless number of skill combinations.
People get turned off by the game at first because it has a fairly steep leveling curve. it is very intimidating when there are 4 schools of abilities and 100's of skills in each school. But it just takes time to figure out what works together and what doesn't. That's half the fun to me.
Queue times are excellent and always have been. Ranging from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. With an average of 2minutes has been my experience. I always queue up as soon as I leave a battleground and the queue is up before i have time to visit the mailbox or buy a new spell. Very little downtime.
Combat is fast paced and in the beginning when you can only equip 4-5 abilities of course you are going to be spamming the same one over and over. But when you reach rank 8 or so and can fill up you whole ability bar with attacks, heals, roots, shields, buffs, teleports, charge manipulations, etc, etc the game takes on a whole new aspect. You have to really be on your toes and think sharp to know what button to press when. If you just spam attack attack attack you will die in an instant.
You gotta play smart.
Load times and increases in FPS are the only 2 things I hope Auran can drasticially improve before release. But again, maybe I just need a newer computer.
I would highly recommend this game to anybody. It's new and innovative. Just get to rank 3 or 4 at least before passing judgement.
Auran, you might want to consider tweaking the learning curve in some manner to hold new players attention.
