Did the characters look as "cartoony" as the screenshots they have been posting? I am still hoping they tighten that up for a more realistic look like they had in KOTOR.
I also hope that's the last comparison to WoW. This is not a fantasy game and there is also a homogenization of UI's. They are all going to have health/power bars, maps, buffs, abilities, etc... I was a bit turned off when the comparison was between the two games.
Still, this game is going to be fantastic merely based on what game features they have released thus far.
AoC is my staple game. I don't mind the class changes due the the high availability of playing other classes and still having a lot of fun on them. So, if they bork the ranger, I won't be too upset. Plus, it's nice to have things shaken up from time to time. And let's face it, the Ranger IS the "douchebag" class of AoC. I have pissed so many people off and have thusly been pissed off myself from other Rangers. Fun class!
But one thing that bothered me about the class is the horrible single target grind of the bow. I would have LOVED the opportunity to switch weapons based on the situation. I feel the bow is superior for pvp (single target/great CC) and the xbow for pve (AoE grinding).
