I have seen the shadowland expansion pack, but there's something I really don't understand. I have bought AO and have played it for several months now.
You find the the article at http://pc.ign.com/articles/360/360429p1.html
Hmm, for me this sounds like you are changing "profession" during your life (making treatment green skills etc), and isn't it very easy to make an uber char if this is possible? But what will happen with old AO players, will they take a part of this too?At certain stages in a character's development, any profession may choose to "specifiy" in a skill set. Your characters will keep all existing abilities, while branching off into more specific areas. So for instance, if you're a Martial Artist and choose to specialise as a "Healer," you will get a benefit to First Aid and Treatment every time you level. This offers a more hands-on approach to creating a specific character to your liking, while integrating a cool sub-class feature.
No kidding, so only ppl who buys the expansion pack will have an advantage over the old AO players? I'm just hoping it's a new graphic of an old gun. What about the new armor and items that will be upgradeable, will they be available for old AO players?In addition to new armor and weapons, existing items will be upgradeable or "wargleable" to a degree players haven't seen yet. There will also be a slew of new class specific weapons and non-drop items. But sorry, if you don't buy the exansion, you won't be looting that Fixer Stealth Gun off your opponent in the Player vs Player arena. Funcom assured us that these perks are only for the fans that buy Shadowlands and deserve more for purchasing the expansion.
Juppie, we don't get any new items I'm happy with the same old stuff I see again, and again... ehm...But not to dismay. Funcom says they are still going to support their original Anarchy Online product with the same continuity of patches and support, they don't want to alienate fans of the game who can't buy the expansion. Fans can still expect to see the implementation of story quests, IPR points, and new character skills wholly separate from the Shadowlands expansion
If it's like the article says will people who buys the Shadowland Expansion Pack have an advantage over people who is still playing the old version. If this is true, I'm surely going to quit AO if I don't get the same items and stuff as the new players.
I don't mind if I don't get access to Jobe and Shadowland, but I want to be a part of the rest that affect everyone at Rubi-Ka. Please correct me, I don't want to be right here :-/ If Shadowland is a seperate dimension, forget my post
/me hoping shadowland is a new dimension, and that he never will see a Shadowland character at Rubi-Ka 1
/me is hoping that he won't be alone at Rubi-Ka 1
