To Means and the rest of the posse, 17.8 and beyond.

[Alfamale]

Just wanted to say 17.8 was a major step in the right direction, and I'm impressed how the new time sinks are in corparated in to entertaining high end content. The new DB instance is a blast, no doubt, even sloppy coding can't mess that up. A job well done. And the pvp is just awesome, almost like FPS!

With the new raid interface coming (sounds absolutely fantastic), AO is heading in the right direction, and I actually hear sleepers are thinking about a new tour, with so much stuff happening and up coming.

And, I also decided you should revamp merc camp, because merc camp, was one of the most enjoyable and entertaining "instances" ever except maybe Camelot. Old and hardened faces, and new loot would totally blow life into EFP again.

Thanks again.

Bumps the <3

Bumpin' dis...

Also, I know it's a long-shot, but it would be awesome to perhaps locate some of the new content in some of the 'undiscovered areas of Rubi-Ka' if you catch my drift

[Cyberleet]

Bump, new DB is example of something having a perfect reward...instead of playing 6months to get an item.
Also new raidinterface seems great, no more people having monopoly on paid content.

[Blackdog]

Id love to see subway and totw revamped, those instances are quite good atm, but would be awesome with some new items, like armor, weapons and rings

[Imnotamonkey]

The hard work is clear, whether I agree with many of the changes or not, clearly they are working hard and thinking-up new things for us, and I can always appreciate that.

bump for continued RK revamping, i've always enjoyed RK better then SL.

btw where is the notes on the raid interface?

i'd like to see voice chat implemented as well.

I'm not a big fan of in game voice chat, it's better to use a program like Ventrilo since it allows you to communicate with people no matter what game they are playing. In fact, what I'd like to see is all other MMO's adopt an open chat system like AO's so it would be easy to make a bot that relays chat between different games.

[windcaster]

well i'd want the voice chat for coordination.. if they are'nt playing AO i got no reason to talk to them while im playing AO.

I personally would support voice chat implemented in AO.

Alot of MMORPG's have followed that already.

People who raid alot would for sure make good use of that. Eve online itself set that up aswell.

Good moneysource, Funcom *ring-ring* hear the money ?

I guess my org is different in that we're all friends and enjoy a communication channel that's independant of the games we play. :P

Other reasons to not have voice chat built into each game:
1) Unecessary strain on the server
2) The high compression/low bandwidth solution to reduce strain on the server sounds like crap(have you heard WoW or EVE voice chat? It sounds horrible compared to ventrilo)
3) Devs have to waste time implementing poopy sounding voice chat instead of new game content

Why would I pay FC money when Vent is free, and it good enough to handle AO's raids?

[IHaveHugeNick]

Bump for revamped Mercs.

[Harios]

Don't forget to mention the incoming graphic boost!
I think that will lure many old players back to the game!

[Tertastic]

I hope they don't just make the environment looks better. I would love to see models, weapons, armors... stuff like that looks better as well.


P.S. Is AO the first MMO to actually create a new graphics engine after years of working on the game?

Eve upgrade the engine on a regular basic

And new ones as well, once that comes out some of my friends who keep saying the games graphics suck might actually get past the game. One actually enjoyed it some but still had problems with the graphics engine. Guess there are people who like high end graphics lol

DAoC upgraded engine with a new expansion too. I'm sure some other mmos did it too. But it's nothing compared to AO changes.

Also bump for BS, it's a lot better. I <3 zerg pvp.

From someone who used to do Mercs camp with Alfamale on Acom.... I wholeheartedly again....

also, EFP Hop ftw!
