Monk vs AOC?

[zoltan00]

well with AOC about a month away. I was just wondering if a class is going to hold you back from playing AOC... I think almost everyone is planning on making a monk but after 3 weeks give or take will the monk satisfy the wait. I'm just curious because from what i hear AOC is soppose to I guess take over? I personally will take about a month break from DDO just to see if AOC lives up to the hype. I just want to hear your guys opinion on this feel free to say whatever you want.

PS recruiting for AOC free for all server Fear The Plague!!!! Muahahaha

People will always.... and I mean always, come back to this game. Nothing else can even touch it.

I for one will be playing AoC but just for the novelty, and when I get back here I will love it all the more.

Even the Salties came back here, and when we left them in vanguard they were grinding 24/7

[zoltan00]

Yeah bro I see what you mean I think even though this game lacks in some areas DDO separates itself from the rest of the games. I love DDO and I'm happy I chose this game as my first MMO.. I think the best qualities about the game is the combat system and the graphics are sweet. This game is probably best for those players that have been gone for over a year. There's alot of content they haven't seen.

[Uska]

No AoC is going to keep me from playing AoC just dont like what they have done. All I am gonna say on that matter

[GeneralDiomedes]

- If I want to look at t'n'a I'll just alt-tab to a porn site
- I can still get drunk in real life and make my character behave erractically

[Ro-Longo]

I'll be giving AoC a try. The main reason is that I want my rogue to be a rogue and not a trap monkey.

[zoltan00]

yeah dude a rogue is considered a DPS class in AOC and I hear the combat system is pretty sweet with the fatalities and actual heads rolling of I just hope parents knows its rated for adults shoulnt be any kids running around.

[Gratch]

Monk Monk Monk Monk. It will be the best time ever to play a cleric... you can charge to heal the parties of 5 monks.

As to AoC... I already did the beta leg-work for DDO.... think I'll let AoC get playtested and fixed at release by others the first few months and then see if it's a playable game or goes the Vanguard way. More interested in Warhammer despite the delays. Though do any MMO's not get delayed these days? AoC's at least 18 months past their original "initial release" date.

I can't see that head-chopping and a mature rating keeps the kids away. I would even guess it means more in their teenage years. Given the game is also slated for 360, it seems there's definitely a play towards the GTA, snuck-into-a-rated-R movie, f-bomb dropping crowd. You'll probably have less toddlers (hopefully). How long will the gore-thrill last I wonder?

Rogue is a DPS class in this game dude...

If you guys are still thinking you need to be confined to trap monkey you should check out some of the builds in the rogue forums.
I will not however be giving you mine.

[KoboldKiller]

AoC is just the new shiny toy that will lose it's luster quickly. I for one will not be playing it. The combat system is still close to an auto attack you just have different combos. DDO still has the best combat system and character development out there. And yes Rogues in DDO can be DPS not just trap monkeys.

Anyway best of luck to the ones that leave, we'll keep your spot open.

That's ok. Everyone can PM Goodwin in game if you'd like Accelerando's DPS Rogue build.

I doubt it bro I know some really good rogues that can outkill tanks but a rogue cannot do anywhere from 180-200+ damage in 1 swing like a barb can. The few rogues that can call themselves a battle rogue are more like tanks to me high ac good to hit. Also its way easier to play a barb most of the time only way a rogue can be good is with nice gear as for a barb all you gave to do is gave a high con high STR and take the right enhancements and your good to go.

[Igorcht]

I have very little interest in AoC, so even without the Monk class, I'd still be here. :P

After Othergame Collapses

[Beherit_Baphomar]

I have a huge portion of my guild leaving DDO for AoC...and I mean huge...almost everyone that plays DDO regularly
is going to AoC...

Lets hope y'all are right and they come back, because Im not really interested in AoC.

[Furgulder]

It's not the fact that my rogue doesn't do DPS, it's the playerbase in DDO and the quest/mobs desings that make most people think all you need in a group is a Sorc, Barb, and a Cleric to run most stuff. My rogue gets exluded from most stuff mostly on the basis of whether or not there is a trap to disable or a lock to pick.

I wathced a video where a Rogue went against a Fighter type in PvP in AoC and the Rogue dismantled the Fighter with his bare hands. I'll try to post a link later, I am at work atm and don't have the time.
