Argo teaser site launched [alaplaya]

[fenix40k]

woot! the website is on! This game will rock. I love steampunk

[MrTingTing]

Judging the game by one trailer is so wrong, look at Iris it has a most idiotic trailer EVER and yet you like the game MrTingTing :P

nah, i also watched Cb videos on youtube. the gameplay looks ******ed in it^^

[fenix40k]

you can test the foreign version if you wanna. Its not a bad game. The
combat system is tactical. Compared to neosteam this one is awesome.
PvP rocks too. I prefer this over Iris (yeah i have played iris now ^^)

The music isn't all that IMO nothing tops ROM for F2P music.

Word! RoMs soundtrack is awesome

[Professor Cena]

The music isn't all that IMO nothing tops ROM for F2P music.

It feels as if I've heard that song a thousand times before.

Anywho, this game has such an awesome trailer - yet the game itself looks so terrible. >:

[King_Grunt]

Well until I try the game no amount of videos can be enough to decide if I like it or not. I just hope we don't have to wait too long for first CB.

Me too, but I'm also a sucker for magic. And this game doesn't seem to have much of it.

There is alot of magic in the game too, I'm pretty sure since it's listed as one of the pros on the MMOhut site, http://mmohut.com/preview/argo-online

And for those just wanting to know more about the gameplay etc, just keep on reading.
A list of features from the Argos site, more to come later apparently:

* Two unique races to choose from with eight classes each
* WASD control (point and click optional)
* Optional Free Aiming Mode
* Fast paced combat
* Thousands of quests with an intriguing background story
* Interactive map system for finding NPCs, quests, etc., more easily
* Large battlefields for epic clashes with hundreds of players
* Wide variety PvP modes (including Capture the Flag)
* Real-time strategy elements
* Crafting system with multiple upgrade options for items
* Resource system (based on the mineral Earthdium) for skills (flying, attack, defense)
* Numerous professions to experience
* Open PvP zones and PvP dungeons to explore
* Raid instances to experience with friends
* Transportation for three to ten players (troop carriers) depending on the race, including flying transport! (Floresslah: animal mounts / Noblian: vehicles)
* Auction house for trading items
* Deep achievement system and a comprehensive ranking system
* Pet system with two completely different pet designs (animals and machines)

Trailer with gameplay:
(In the last half of the trailer, you'll see use of the free-aim system and the RTS aspects of the game)

So there you have it. Maybe this info should go to the first page though.

Still don't get it. It looks just like any other mmo fighting system. Pluss, this is a medic, armed with a knife, in the starter area... Hardly a good character to judge the combat by.

Of course, it would be naive to think this game is revolutionairy in any way - But if the battle system in this game is ******ed, then so if practically the battle system in all mmorpgs, as they all operate in the exact same fashion.

At least this game has working WASD, and an actual aiming system to sprite things up.

I never said the battle system sucks, i said the gameplay itself looks ******ed, or terrible, you decide.
This is only my first impression as ive never played it so we'll see

[Altair]

Sorry you made a statement about a video which is obviously awful made from a player. Alone the camera view is nuts. They are enough other videos which definately shows the potential of that game.

[fenix40k]

i still dont get it
watched the vid but it looks like any other combat system
+ yeah..its a bit slower but thats normal for this game. Its tactical.

the animation is ok too so it looks not terrible ^^
i will make a foreign acc to try the game and than i am back with
a better combat vid ok?

Ok gameplay in general then. An opinion is an opinion, I just wonder what mmorpg gameplay doesn't look ******ed to you then, and by what standard - Since almost all mmorpgs look the same in terms of gameplay(point'n'click, hotkey skills, a lot of aimless running around looking for quests etc).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending this game, as I very much doubt this is going to be much better than you're run of the mill f2p mmorpg. In the end, in this genre it just comes down to preferance of art-style etc, really. Gameplay wise, these games never change much.

[mevefmlx]

don't even compare neosteam with this horrible sci-fi mmorpg.

The gameplay from the CB clip looks clunky and unresponsive. It might be due to the lag but the npcs mobs are running around like they're handicapped or so. Like i said, it's only my first impression, which wont stop me from trying it as soon as it comes out

[MoonSoul]

Rminds me of Neosteam mixed with RF >.<

So are all other 9000 MMORPGs out there.

You played it? I did until lvl 25 so far (max is 50) and had not a lot hardcore asian grinding. Instead I had some very funny quests like being transformed to a tree and you need to fight against another tree with "tree-skills".

Was cool actually and such things happens more often.

Awesome is the PVP concept.

For example there is a lvl 20 dungeon where you have to do Quests and in the middle is a bossmonster. Dungeon has 2 entries. Each for one Faction. Nice fights. Old DAOC players will remind it with Darkness Fall.

Already this together with the vehicles/mounts makes PVP and PVE really unique. RTS modus I did not enter so far but seems intersting and unique as well.

Both factions have a very unique style. DIfferent quests, different regions, different concept behind. Just nice.

most of the people quit before or during tutorial, it takes like forever to complete.

i quit after tutorial, it was ******ed :/ and probably the only game i quit during or after a tutorial.
