Agreed, hurry up to cap so we can farm that gear already.

Screw context, story, characters and lore.

We want to farm gear NOW!


If you care about context, story, characters, and lore, why are you playing an MMO? There's a crapload of RPGs and action-RPGs that are better in every single aspect.

The prologue zone looks like a single-player newb instance. And for me, yes, it's a waste of time.

Wow, thats pretty [filtered]in solid very impressed, actually looks better than a lot of the game :D


Also something else thats interesting is this opening video is using warrior skills that are well passed level 20, so based off what I'm seeing we're going to be playing another character for the opening scene that has access to much higher level skills than you start with, which I think is a fantastic idea, I just really hope we get experience for doing this mission.

They don't need to sell me on the game, but honestly that vid just didn't do anything for me. The graphics actually looked WORSE for some reason...call me crazy.

I just went and read the patch notes that someone had mentioned in another thread. We'll be level 20 in the prologue. After we finish, we'll be thrown into the normal Isle of Dawn back at level 1, so it looks like this prologue is mostly for show.

It better be skippable! Why would I want to waste time and end up back at level 1?
They could have just made IoD more interesting with aggro and some faster mobs.

I'm really glad they did this, but I wonder if it will "solve" the complaint people have about not being challenged early enough. I can't imagine the new BAMs will be "difficult" for anyone comfortable with the combat. I expect they'll be slow-moving baby BAMs. Which is great for complete newbies, and maybe that's what they're going for. But I don't think it will give those people who didn't get to 20 get enough of a feel for the real challenge later BAMs pose. But we shall see! I'm really happy they're even trying.

It's a starting zone.

Starting zones should never be uber difficult.

interesting.

but again, is the prologue a requirement? if so, does it give you exp?

if not, can you skip it?


They said that afterwards you arrive on the Island of Dawn at level 1. The prologue you play as a level 20.

This was a very smart move because initial impression is very important. Hopefully it's punishing enough that new players will realize what it is like to fight a BAM.
