Why are MMO's less graphically intensive than most other games? Is it just a matter of bandwidth/hosting?
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;39998933]It's not gonna work like that. AFAIK, regular attacks will be just like in the singleplayer games.[/QUOTE] More than likely they'll just make it like WoW except instead of attacking automatically you have to hit a key to attack. This is not only missing the point entirely but only making it worse. Chances are, there'll be 0 impact on both you and the enemy unless they use a skill that has, say, a "knockdown" effect or something of the like. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's not like this but as far as we've seen in the minuscule amount of gameplay footage they've shown it's exactly like that. Characters just sort of wave their weapons around in the air in front of enemies and the enemy neither flinches or staggers until they die :v: [editline]22nd March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Aetna;40001893]Why are MMO's less graphically intensive than most other games?

That's my best guess for why, aside from laziness.
I just wonder how much canon is going to get raped.
[QUOTE=Elspin;39993649]What game costs $50 a month...?[/QUOTE] it's all a giant hyperbole, but, considering DLC these days 50$ a month isn't THAT far fetched.

But, I'm hoping that it is not!
