Throne and Liberty systems similar to AoC & Their twist on them

Well, since you're probably tracking it more, have you seen anyone actually try to play in a coordinated group to kill things above their level yet?

This is the thing I generally don't expect from streamers, which really limits how much you can actually get in terms of impressions.
I've been mainly watching a few hours of Steparu's streams here and there. They had a party farm, but it didn't look much different so far.

Saw that world boss from the trailer (that has stones around him to "dodge" the attacks). The boss' dmg was not high enough to kill everyone who didn't dodge so everyone literally just stood in the same place and unloaded. I really hope they at least put some scaling on the attacks or smth, cause even L2's bosses felt a bit better :D At least the bigger ones did and maybe this was supposed to be a party boss or smth? I dunno.

And the bigger pvp fights that I saw were mainly outzerged by either side, so couldn't notice any proper movements yet. I'll go through more of the streams later on and will keep watching till the end of the beta, but I doubt we'll see anything really skillful, just cause you need a proper coordinated group and afaik there's no such thing on this cbt, due to the invitation limitations. Maybe KR players have that, but there was maybe 2-3 kr streamers and they didn't seem to play in parties, from what I saw, so I dunno if they're at a higher lvl of skill.

I hope they have obt soon or smth like that, cause we'd get way more info about the depth that way.

Well, that barely matters to me except as comparison to Ashes, as the thread implies. The reason I ask is basically because it seems that I've exhausted all interest that my group has in this thread specifically. I provided all that I figure matters to anyone from the data I have too.

So, I can't think of anything else that Intrepid could even cursorily get any use out of, and therefore probably will drop this one again.

This is probably my main response
Yeah, that combat (TL's) didn't upset me at all. The only thing that upset me is the absolute absence of abilities shown. I'll check out TL streams closer to the end of cbt to see the variety (if there is any), cause by then people will probably farm some books and lvl up properly.

L2's combat greatness came from how classes worked with each other and from general ability interactions. Main concern related to that in TL for me is the "everyone can use any weapon and gets abilities for it". I just don't know if this kind of design can be as deep as L2's was (at least as I saw it).

I definitely decided to play this game when it comes out, thanks to this cbt. It'll most likely be just a timekiller before Alpha2, because western servers will die faster than you can blink and I definitely don't want to play on ru servers (I assume there will be some, cause I feel like TL will be popular here). And I'm 99% sure that it'll also be p2w AF, so it'll be better to just play it to the best of my relaxed abilities.
The game hits all the things I prefer
For me it's world exploration and neverending grind of my character's strength growth. Pvp, pve, quests, etc - that's all good, but that's just plain gameplay. I've got a ton of that in any other game. But if the world is interesting to explore and I can grind the game for hours to get a +0.1% power for my char - now that's what would hold me in the game.
Because of this^ I'll definitely play TL as much as I can until Alpha2 comes out.

Yeah, the combat barely changed, p2w is still in (we'll see about western release) and amazon are still fuckers :)

For all you Copium Huffers out there, I'm sure it doesn't break NDA to just say:

"Believe in TL."
