Lots of walking? :P

in Huxley
This game looks great, the only true mmofps coming out etc etc etc. but it looks like theres a lot of walking? lol. The in-game video I saw was one guy jus running around killing someonething every 5 minutes til he walked so far in that he found something that pooned him. How do yo get xp for the 'unique character advancement'? If its not per kill then the walking isnt so bad I guess.

    There are vehicles, and we can naturally expect some type of instant transportation that is usually included in MMO's.

    Wel, you saw an instance of a battle, where it was like 5v5, thats normaly not the idea of huxley, it was just an early vieuw of combat in an instance they gave us.

    The game will go up to 100 man in one instance (aka 50vs50 If there is a balance) so you'll encounter allot more people then where teamwork will be needed.

    Further you can customize you own vehicles for travel around town and the 'big' maps in and outdoor.
    you can have Cars, Buggy's, APC's , Hovercrafts, Attack Planes and Transport ships to drop of troops.

    It looks good till now.

    Great Thanks - this looks like it could be the game for me when it comes out.

    huxely, in my mind, is in many ways a revolutionary mmo already.

    there's not going to be a level 60 warrior killing thousands of noobs because it's not just level based

    200 player battles? that was the idea of mmo's themselves, to have players.

    no game that i know of has ever had 200 people fighting in close proximity without blinding lag

    hope it all works....

    seriously, battles 3x the size of bf2?

    You must not have played planetside then. 3 factions beating the crap outta each other in large numbers...not too much lag either.

    Yeah amazing in theory and lots of fun the first few times. In terms of playability it dies very fast - even when youre in the super unbalanced robots its a bit boring.

    Sorry, but PS has HORRIBLE lag. You get 100 People fighting it out in a space, and folks start jumping around all over the place. Get40 people fighting for a Tower, and it's a Blast (minus the JH hackers).

    And before you say it's not true, my outfit has over 40 people, and ALL of us had those issues.

    PS was a great game to play a month at a time, but it gets old... the Tech doesn't match the games goals.

    Zerging is fun though... try the free trial, it's fun. Just remember:

    • TR- Hard Mode
    • NC- Medium
    • VS- Easy Mode

    Definately not a fan of the instanced approach to PvP battles... sure they are a bit bigger but you might as well just play BF2 and skip the monthly fee. MMOFPS should be about large open non-instanced PVP where some days you will just have to get over it and fight as the underdog. And don't say it would over-crowd and not work without instances because it works in PlanetSide.

    but surely theres an rpg element to it making it worth while much better than bf 2, i mean ive only seen one mmorpgfps so far and thats war rock which is in  its beta at the moment but thats good cause going up levels only makes a little differance which helps in the long run but will not make ne one uber, i think thats the way to do it, having levels making a small effect on speed reload rate, damage and health and such but so little u dont really notice it much apart from if a level 60 goes against a level 1

    You will probably be able to fight in other places, although the reason the big battlemap areas are instnaced is so that only 200 a side can get in and so the lag will be reduced, if it wasnt instnaced more may get in and it would cause server wide lag.

    Yup i think you'll have loads of fun with the vehicles, i hope they put some bikes in. I want me a loaded Hog or some crazy crotch rocket to boogey around in. Could u imagine lining up your guild for the guild screenie all decked out in front of your vehicles with your guns hanging. MMM guns and cars and your close friends....is there anything better....(opposite sex as well for eye candy etc :P)

    god, i feel like no one played neocron, that was a mmofps, for its time it had its moment, but it slowly died (not really but having only 300 people in a huge area only at euro peak time, less when american peak, kinda seems dead to me)

     

     

    NONE THE LESS, i still want this game to hury the hell up (not as rushed as 2142, still waiting for my unlocks to happen) so i have something to play!   imageimageimageimageimage
