Played Malkavian the most in Masquerade - so perhaps that.
     

    If you read the earlier press releases you would see that they said after they get the balance issues with the various vampire clans done they will be moving on to the other stories that took place at the same time as Vampire the Masquerade. These stories include Werewolf the Apocalypse, Mage the Ascension, Wraith: The Oblivion, Changeling: The Dreaming, Kindred of the East, Hunter: The Reckoning, Mummy: The Resurrection, Demon: The Fallen, Orpheus. So sooner or later you will be able to play a Vampire Hunter.

    "Possibly we humans can exist without actually having to fight. But many of us have chosen to fight. For what reason? To protect something? Protect what? Ourselves? The future? If we kill people to protect ourselves and this future, then what sort of future is it, and what will we have become? There is no future for those who have died. And what of those who did the killing? Is happiness to be found in a future that is grasped with blood stained hands? Is that the truth?"

    Well star Citizen an Elite are not really MMOs lol but yeah your right there has not been a good MMORPG released for many years but we have quite a few good ones coming over the next few years.

    Only one im looking forward to this year is The Repopulation..

     

    Anyway if they do this game right then it will be awesome :)

    I have NO idea what you just said, any of it.

    Bad news, friend.  This probably isn't the game for you, then.

    You have just drawn to my attention something of a problem. Lore. Without films like Lotro now has players will need to do some reading to even understand what the clans are. Reading! Maybe they can make some clan videos for those who think a pen is a slim smartphone?

    Probably but considerings CCPs past they are the only I believe :P.

    confirmed that 70 dev's are working on this tittle everyday.

    This game will not be dumped at this point.

    If you look at CCP as a player, you need to admit that they can create the most difficult and unique mmo's ever created.

    Eve online is so complicated that it can make people with a 130 IQ scatch their heads now and then.

    I realy like their approach on mmo's.

     

    WOD - this might take quite some heavy time before seeing the light....

    They want to make this one perfect.

    But i have full confidence on CCP to make this one of the best mmo ever created.

    If it came from any one else... yes i'd agree. But come on sandbox is the only thing CCP does.

     

    Now for the people asking for more details.. Understand that the game i still in very early production at best.. most likely still in pre-production. So there are not any real details to give out (doing so is setting them self up for a rabid attack once they need to change something.)

     

    But yes. If they can deliver even half of what they want. This will be a epic game.

    This have been a good conversation

    Because MMOs are always fantastic until they come out.

    Looks like another niche mmo, which is good, but I'm not interested in vampires.

    This game is going to be kick @55.  Use to read the books and rulebook for VtM (never played the game though).  Lost interest with Requiem. I thought requiem got rid of alot of clans like Brujah, malk and tremere.

     

    Is WoD going to use the requiem lore and ruleset?

    It is based on VtM. We have all the confirmed info that has been released since 2008 about this game on our wiki/FAQ you can see here, http://www.wodnews.net/FAQWiki.aspx

    It is still in pre-production, correct. However that's not 100% accurate as we know a fair amount of details about the game. Certainly not everything but have a pretty good idea the direction it's going more or less. See our wiki/faq for details; http://www.wodnews.net/FAQWiki.aspx

    pre alpha gameplay videos r needed.

     

    because so far this game is 100% marketing 0 percent game, why even bother with this?

    hallo ~_~

    LOL there wont be Salubri bro. They are insanely rare and hunted. Come on man...
  • OniDaimyo77OniDaimyo77 Member CommonPosts: 30
    They are only having the 7 Cam clans at the start. Any other news is wrong, yes even the PA one. I know its unfathomable the "gods" could be wrong but they are.
  • goratrixplgoratrixpl Member UncommonPosts: 1
    if i ever see a salubri i`m gonna hunt it with my tremere :D i spend roleplaying VtM for over 2 years some of our campaign was really deep full of emotions and politics i really dont see how they can  ever implemented that to the game cos that is completely human aspect. When u gonna take that away what u gonna get another: "kill 5 sabat members", "fetch 3 vials of ghoul blood" as much i`m looking in to play the game im afraid that im gonna hit the wall called reality check

    Currently playing Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines on a recommendation. Despite it being a little dated I'm finding it rather enjoyable. Played the tabletop a bit back in the 90's. I'm looking forward to this mmo coming out someday. I'm just hoping they allow Tzimisce as a playable clan and also give us the option to choose whether we want to be cammarila, sabbat, anarch, or independent reguardless of clan. I love the Tzimisce but don't care for sabbat. Otherwise i guess its Ventrue for me.
  • KorithianKorithian Member Posts: 243

     I really hope they allow Sabbat clans into the game. While I think the idea of world politics is great and look forward to how it plays out I think that gamers being fairly smart will find the easiest way to work it. If your not a contender it wont interest you and if you are going to have it figured out pretty quick and there wont be many surprises.

     

     There needs to be an opposing faction to keep things moving and the sandbox to work. Otherwise I think the sandbox will stagnate and people will mostly stick to the path of least resistance.

  • DaedrickDaedrick Member Posts: 168

    Do we even know if its a FPS, TPS, RTS, RPG...? What kind of camera view will they use? Those are the questions that really matters... who cares about boobies. We dont even know what type of game it is, if there is a type at all.

     

    Everybody here imagine a game, but we dont even know the most basic thing, the camera view. EVE is quite unique how the player manage the camera, will it be the same for this game?

     

    Personnaly I imagine TPS over the shoulder ala dead space or a FPS... but really it could be anything.

  • swedagoswedago Member UncommonPosts: 78

    I hope they focus on the game and not the fair weathered people that want instant gratification, then once they get to endgame in 1-2 weeks they get bored and say the game sucks.

    Things I think would make this game a success:

    1)  Detailed Character Models  (Only thing about Aion that was good)

    2)  Challenging leveling (like old EQ1)

    3) Good Questlines (like EQ2)

    4) Public Events (Rift / WAR / GW2)

    5) Dark Storyline (Stay with the old Vampire The Masquerade theme please!)

    6) Faction Alliances (otherwise open PvP)

    7) Group / Raid Zones (This should be the most important to build a proper community.  Soloers do not do this)

    8) Keep it P2P with monthly subscription to weed away the farmers / disruptive community. 

    I would pay double the price for a subscription for a solid game.  This last year has been utter garbage.

  • swedagoswedago Member UncommonPosts: 78

    Most of all let the player choose if it will be 1st or 3rd person view, and keep the Controls similar to EQ2, SWTOR, LoTRO, or Rift...  When I log into a game for the first time (Live or beta) and it has one option only (like DDO) I write off the game and remove it from my computer.

    DEVs make the game/world, but let the players decide how they want to play it...

    Vampires don’t go around stealing each other's clothes.

    This made me giggle so much. :D
