Lords of Death Forums Lords of Death Forums LoD General Discussion SB vs. WoW

I agree.
The thing that helps SB stand apart is the ever evolving end game, since people continue to bane and build cities it doesnt end.
in comparison
In wow, blizzard keeps releasing new weapons, and people keep farming, so i guess its similar.

Are you serious? Too many button clicks, it takes no skill? Your saying clicking 4 powers repeatedly takes more skill then using 15 to 20. I can understand if SB has too many buttons for you, but saying SB does not take skill when WoW does is just stupid. SB is all about skill. You probably just dont have your keys bound well, get scared, and spam powers when you get attacked.
Also if you think 1vs1 pvp is non existant in SB you must not have played much, sure most of the important fights are in groups, but ive had most fun ganking people 1vs 1 or more. nothing like running up to a group of r4's (who can take you out because SB is skill dependent, not just guy w/ purple weapon wins) killing the priest, rooting the tank, and then w/ some help from mobs taking out the whole group.
There is no MMORPG that has PVP nowhere near as good as SB. What you said about PVP in wow and sb are pretty much exact oposite. All wow is EQ w/ better graphics and some left over pvp thrown in. In other words Equipment and level are the ultimate way to judge the winner.

And housing soon enough in WoW.

I have played both, and PvP in WoW (or controlling your char) is much more in depth than in SB. The interface has a lot to do with it.
You can JUMP in WoW, you don't have to click click click to move.
Don't get me wrong.. I LOVE the SB idea. But the gameplay isn't there. It's a step up from a M.U.D. and that's it. We live in the 2000s so the game should look, and have the gameplay of a game that belongs in this century.
I said before.. Mix the SB Idea with the WoW interface and you got gold BABY! Plus what's the deal with everyone in SB rerolling chars every other day.. That's extreme PvE.

You are totally clueless end of discussion.

True but,
As I have stated a thousand times before its all a matter of personal preffence. I enjoy fast paced combat and a fluid moving game. I belive WoW delivers in that aspect. I love faction killing and the group combat of Shadowbane. I like aspects of both games.
I hope Darkfall is combination of both games.........

Amen.

Step back from your know-it-all'ism for a second... You dont know it all. Lets start with that.. OK with that?
I said I like both games for different reasons. As with Simon I need to be able to control my char the way I LIKE in order to enjoy a game. SB Failed 10000% on that. BUT (yes BUT) their game idea was what makes me drool.
You put both together and you have a good game. And yes you do roll chars a lot. Big deal. You PVE. That's part of 99% of the games out there so live with it. k thx bye.

The PvE/PvP are mixed in as you can get rolled whenever someone feels like it. No hiding in an instance.

I didn't get far though, because LoD had quit, but it was pretty intense. Always looking over your shoulder, and kept you on your toes. No going AFK for soda every 5 mins lol.
