Re: Beta 5 Begins, NDA Lifted!
Bards still have not recived there class makeover yet so its not so don't count on anything you have read so far.
Even at the beggining of beta 3 I think Vanguard beat EQ1 in turms of game play. There were multiple crashes, chunk, toon, and server. Everything has steadally improved thru 3 and 4.
Alot of stuff still isnt in yet: Artificer recipies, boat recipies, house recipies, Minerology is non existant (jewelry) but things are progressing.
My dislikes and likes aside this is turning into a great game. Is it third gen or just the top of 2nd gen....To me it seems the later. But who knows what the first expansion will bring us.
Rating 1-10 10 being best.
Graphics...
...General scenery 9
...characters 7
...animations general 6
...animations combat 8
...mob animations 7
playability...
...solo 6
...group 7 (even with 1000 people on at one time it was still hard to find groups at sertain levels but when you did form a group it was great.
Lore 7
audio...
...Combat 7
...environment 8
...music composition 9
Crafting... still undergoing changes/modifications/adding recipies 7
...sub catagory Harvesting 8

Diplomacy...NA can't rate since I havnt gotten around to it. (only certain races were able to)
Old map system wasn't great about a 5 and since the new system was just loaded with the newest patched I can't comment to much on it.
