There is some very interesting info on the new Shadowland profs. sounds like a very different aproach indeed. And hehe sounds like someone who actually has less HP than a Nanomage. Also it sounds like WE as MP's should be able to debuff like that ! But here is the article click here

Also here are some renders, the keeper looks dam good ! can anyone say Paladin ? click here

Oh dear... I can already hear the traders crying in the distance...

Shade and Kepper = Rouge and Palladin. Nuff said.

But it does sound interesting!

**DaveDread** · May 6th, 2003, 15:33:02

Hehe... tattoos as armour, no implants, good in long fights, sneaky ninja type profession... I think the MA's will be more upset then traders.

Frankly, the shade sounds like a summary of all the suggestions on the MA forum up until 3 months ago. Ah well, guess I'll start one.

Nice pics

Did I see a gun-holster on that Keeper/Paladin thingy?

Are we finaly allowed to holster our guns without de equiping it?
(We look kinda silly now with our weapons drawn while eating at a Bronto burger stand, or at the disco bars waving a huge rifle around while doing the YMCA, LOL)

It's fine and dandy to be more meta-physical and mystic with Shadowlands, but I would at least hope there's some traces of technology in the render

It seems like the class gets all those trader, MA and Doc benefits through the shadowland perks.

If FC really wanted to get us excited about SL they should create a page like that for every class, where the perks of every class are listed.

It also looks like they don't have the benefit of a token board, starting out neutral. I doubt the hitpoint disadvantage from that to be permanent. Also, since they use tattoos for armor, that rules out hp-boosting armor pieces. I'd gamble that the breed hitpoints are exactly normal. All in all, they probably have the hitpoints of your typical GAIV Fixer.

And unless they have some special Crowd Control protection like Enforcer Rage or ranged attack they will probably be fodder to rooters, like the MA class.

And if I'm not mistaken, I do believe the Shade class will be able to run hostile nanos on their targets just by hitting them. It seems FC took the principles of our bugged Mez Pet and put them in a player profession. lol

It's no use! It's coming! Whether we like it or not, half of AO will become EQ/UO/DAoC!

/me stays on planet Rubi-Ka.

/me goes to stage 2 and (with fingers still in ears) begins chanting loudly

Ohhh stfu all of you!

Whining crying babies!

If it is anything ruining this game its your endless strain of "buhuuu" posts.

Man, cant you even TRY to see the posistive things? And if you cant only see the dark side of it why the hell are you still playing?!

Edit: typo

**_______________Hypos** · May 6th, 2003, 21:51:54

*shrug*

I comment on the things as they come up.

Ok, positive things. ShadowLands will include:
- new playfields & generic new content
- 2 new profs
- perks that sound like they'll enable a new degree of cooperation between players in combat
- improved graphics engine

All old news; but there ya go. At least at the basic concept level, these sound like good things to me.

But as further information comes out, I still reserve the right to comment. And yes, you may continue to complain about my complaints.

**_________Thehighcool** · May 6th, 2003, 22:14:25

Yes, it's a science fiction game, but the world of the future will have its spiritual side, just as the world today does. Call it fantasy if you like, but it simply sounds like we've been playing meta-physics as just another profession to memorize the nanos and armors of.

It's a role playing game. We play the role of those interested in the metaphysical side of life.

Or have we forgotten (or did we never know?) the meaning of "Metaphysical"? I'll let you scramble for your dictionaries yourself, but suffice it to say the definition will put you in the mind of both science fiction AND fantasy, as AO does.

If you require this to be an all sci-fi game, be a soldier.

**Niomay** · May 7th, 2003, 01:12:57

i am a soldier and am still amazed at how a mole with no arms kicked my butt.

**Votary** · May 7th, 2003, 01:37:33

Umm, Talornin, I know you are cranky and all

But I love AO right now and despite all the problems all the professions have, I still have much fun. I just want to see more technological things in Shadowland. Maybe there are, afterall we are only seeing bits and pieces of it. But you got to admit that Keeper render looks NOTHING technological

Umm.. Crying about melee prof with low hp? Root, alpha -> farm pvp points.

I like that "drains attack rating" part. Means shade drains don't OE you or make you unable to switch weapons, like traders do.

**Xpie** · May 7th, 2003, 10:53:05

Sci-fi != "Trapped souls"

Its alright that they want to be spiritual. But quite frankly I think they're going overboard.

**Alpherah** · May 7th, 2003, 12:01:24

Any 1 noticed how that female in the first pic is wearing no clothes O__O

**Xtremtech** · May 7th, 2003, 12:17:24

Anyone notice that the keeper has a pistol and a sword....
