SGW - Stargate Worlds Combat Footage 5:54min

[Atrayo]

Hi Guys,

Over at Mmorpg.com today they have some alpha game combat footage lasting 5:54 minutes.

There's also an Article from the same site breaking down the combat footage play by play.

I am told that even though we weren't in a group that we would share the XP granted by the encounter thus giving even non-grouped players an incentive to help someone out rather than leave them to their fate (which you're also free to do). ---Mmorpg.com 7/28.

The different grades of color coded cover (say that 3 times fast) for combat looks interesting. Orange being the weakest it seems as in behind that oil drum towards the end of the video.

Thanks Atrayo, nice find!

I'm wondering if that xp is 'split' or 'shared', there's a big difference there. Older gen MMORPGs like Asheron's Call used to 'split' the xp based on how much damage you had done and the reason many mmo's changed to 'tagging' modes was because those types that could kill faster would just run around killing everybodies and doing the most damage so it was hard for healer/hybrid/tank types to level up.

The cover idea is great, one of the best features along with the AI imho, oh and the minigames. Who didn't like solving puzzles in final fantasy?! They also showed how the AI works, it looked pretty good compared to most games which just attack you and move only to keep you in sight/range.
