Good start





AC is NOT a class based game, did you forget your first line?




A decent UI would eliminate the need for add ons.




Managing components is part of the game, just like managing stats. Again, did you forget your first line?

Why don't you just play DDO or LoTR? Those seem to be what you're really looking for. Adding classes would COMPLETELY change AC, it wouldn't be the same game at all.

If they do make an AC3, it probably wont be called AC3. people that never even heard of the first 2 would be like what happened, im missing something?

IMO They need to make it like the old one... yes better graphics, but keep the combat the same... and also they should get rid of the macro's and the big exp places and make the lvl cap lower doing this will cause less people to macro trying to get to the highest level as fast as possible and make stuff with out majors and epics basically go back to the beginning just with better graphics but with lvl 7 & 8 spells available because after they added all that crap people left because it came more leveling and having best gear game than a place to connect with friends and play a game that was to have fun not pure competition

For some reason, these posts always follow the same syntax. Let me paraphrase almost every "I want AC3"-reply:

"It would have new modern graphics, but be exactly the same as the original otherwise. Oh, and it should have feature x from WOW, feature Y from EQ and feature Z from UO. Oh, and original AC1 features a, b and c should be removed".

Most of these people don't actually want AC1, they want WOW with the same feeling of wonder and naivete they had when they played their first MMO.

fixed

Actually... I'd love to see AC 1 redone in a modern engine (AC:Reborn). At the same time it shouldn't be overly modern so it can still handle armies of mobs (Olthoi, Lugians, etc.) like the original game.

To keep the scope down and feasible... only do the original game (no expansions, no housing, etc.)

As for any "expansions" afterwards... more (meaningful and in depth) quests and re-use unpopular dungeons on the original landmass... don't separate players even more. The original game is big enough.

About the only thing that should come from the expansions is the newer magic / reagent system.

I also disagree with _Stranger_ about the xp passup system... the original Patron / Vassal / Allegiance system is what motivated people to congregate, along with group-run dungeons like getting Altan stones, where everyone got their loot and helped out later when they wee higher level.

But... it'll never happen.

true

I just started playing AC1 again after 4 years away and am loving it again, without ndoubt the best MM around from a loot perspective.


LOTRO = Eye Candy and boring relentless grinding to accomplish anything.


AC1 (Don't Touch IT) + Some DX10 EyeCandy and your done.


I know tis is an old and tired topic but heres hoping. When I login and see 85 people online my thoughts of an update get seriously dashed.


I'd love to see how many former AC players if they were made come back for a week would stay, my guess is it would a good amount, they need the kick in the butt to get em started.


I didnt realize how much I'd enjoy AC again, every kill is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get.

Sad to say it, but I really miss Asheron's Call.


I play on XBox 360 now and bearing in mind I've been playing Guitar Hero 5, Call of Duty MW2, Bioshock etc ... the whole adventure of Asheron's Call was without doubt my favourite online game experience ever.
