  1. After enough hours playing, i can say intrepid has something special on their hands. With a lot of love, they can forge this uncut stone into a shining jewel. It has me inviting people at random to group up, and is creating some organic social experiences. All the systems need a lot of work, but when this thing is polished, if they can keep that social aspect, this can really be something worth dumping your time into again.

  3. The node system is the heart of this game. If it fails, the game will fail. Nobody who is interested in this game is playing it for the PvE, so using most of the dev resources to attract that playerbase will doom the game like many games before. I'm not saying PvE focused games are bad. They need to be built from the ground up with PvE in mind. AoC is not that type of game even though it has some PvE in it. I hope the decision makers realize this and don't fall into the New World and Crow Fall trap. Focus on the games strength (the node system) and success will come as long as it works properly.

  4. It almost sounds like a node ends up acting partly like a guild where the guild leader is the mayor.

    Though I thought I heard there is actually a guild system also.

    Very interesting dynamics will be created out of this system. Though after a while I could see primary nodes ending up being dominant and things not changes as much unless they introduce reasons for primary nodes to change.

  5. I'm planning on just booking it right as the servers go live, so hopefully I manage to avoid all the strong mobs and get to New Aela on lvl 1. I got no clue what I'll be doing from there, but that's a problem for the future me.

  6. Aa cool as some of these aspects in AoC seem to be I believe that it leaves to much room for toxicity. I would rather grinde to the bone on pve world exploring than work my tail off focused in a particular isolated spot of the game trying to get a node built right or protected.
