Cool features that never made it live

[Vaere]

I was debating reposting the entire thing however it would just lead to arguments and such and an eventual thread closure. So am just pasting the link for all you folks to go read what was promised, thought of and lost in this game so far. Some of these ideas (if a dev happens to read the thread) could possibly be added now as some of the framework should be there someplace, and the game system has advanced.

Some Things not on that list.

Vanity folks may like this one
Weapon Sheaths, in the early vids and in beta most weapons actually had sheathes.

Legendary items and weapons (orange colour) believe there was only 1 in the database at release.

War system, was in game, got removed because PVE guilds wanted to have a BK without facing concequences of actually having to fight others who wished them as it interfered with PVE. Ironic as having a Battle Keep means you WANT to PVP, its not required to have one and does not hurt normal play.


You have a few days to read that thread, or repost if you wish before it is gone forever

better repost the whole thing, since that link be dead in 2 days (unless FC changes their mind about the old forum archives)

Are you kidding? It's not about vanity, but basic integrity.

Yeah this needs to be preserved and rubbed in the faces of anyone who thinks the game is where it "should be" right now. The enormity of missed potential in this game is the embodiment of shame in the MMO genre. If half of those features were implemented and polished, AOC would have more than a million subs right now. But noooo... FC had to turn it into a dumbed down gear grind, and spent AOC sub money on TSW... Which also failed. FC deserves what happens to them. Stupid should hurt. It should hurt bad.

Some of the classes like the soldiers are implemented as one of the feat trees (and with multi spec it's great to have access to both).
It would be cool to see a spear/shield guard that has mostly defensive combos and some attacks with halberd with high crit chance.


Some other classes definitely sound interesting like:

Mage:
Lich - melee mage like a HoX, except undead and 2H blunts

Priest:
Scourge of Derketo - pure fire AoE class, 2H blunts
Scion of Set - poison damage

Thief:
Master Thief - "dirty fighter," lots of debuffs like snares/blinds
