I played the beta, and the kind of stat difference between gear goes something like: Green - 50% extra health Blue - 60% extra health, 10% extra damage Purple - 70% extra health, 15% extra damage, 5% bonus critical rate Now throw in that most units can use 2-4 pieces of gear. You simply can't be competitive at high levels if you don't pay money. | ||

You can't really play any real PvP until you have put a lot of hours in single player. I tried 1 game when I was level 7 and a guy just destroyed me with horses, when I had not upgraded that tech. And after seeing this game's matchmaking system, you will get a new perspective on how awesome the Blizzard ladder is. Basically you get to play almost all of the single player content, but it feels like it is a giant demo version. | ||

The ability to co-op through missions is cool, tech trees and gear etc adds a fairly exciting, albeit grindy, feel to single player / co-op play, and the fact that missions can be 'sort of' challenging without being TOO demanding makes it a decent game to relax and pass time while chatting with your buddies on ts or whatever. Interface isn't too great, especially for a hardcore RTS players, I don't think you can even save control groups? but the gameplay is pretty smooth and graphics are decent (think TeamFortress 2 - really similar style and feel). My biggest gripe with the game was that playing it without paying does limit your options quite a bit, storage space can be a bit of an issue, you're going to miss out on some units and a lot of high-end upgrades, and overall it really kinda feels like a demo version rather than an free to play with optional pay to play bonuses. I would be ok with it, but the prices are RIDICULOUS - they charge you 20$ for unlocking one civilization, to unlock all of the 'season 1' content (currently available 2 civilizations, some extra melee game mode, and another upcoming civilization), it's 80$. I may end up paying for one civ because I did enjoy the game, but I do hate their pricings and marketing model. | ||

I came so very near to typing in the website and from there I would have bought up everything, grinded like a fiend and been the best uber noob on the server. That is, until I read the post above. In one brief instant my entire interest was driven away.

Get the fuck out. I'd love to read a post by someone who paid for everything and told me its worth it. Even though there would be few ways it could persuade me to buy, I'm perversely interested in knowing why a game that costs 30 dollars over a regular RTS is an improvement on the ones I already own. | ||

What this means is it's free mode sucks, but it's not that expensive to by the whole thing out right. By comparison the - the LoL model - you can slowly but surely unlock everything through grinding, but to buy everything outright costs a fortune. Personally I much prefer the AoEO model. were you do not stand a chance unless you pay everything? in lol you can at least be even with the guys that have everything ( as far as i know) pay if you want but if you don't pay you don't auto loose imagine starting with this age over sic months how much money will it be to play a f2p game? after seeing the prices i wont even try to get my windows working again and y i was planning on doing it for mostly this | ||

Even though if you compare the numbers, it's only a little higher, that amount in a game like LoL is very very huge. | ||

You can't even buy runes with Riot Points, and there's absolutely no advantage to paying for the game besides time saving. The tournament realm has everything unlocked as well so ^_^ | ||
