[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 4278617, member: 891"] All this means is that the Aggro system is 4E is closer to Everquest II's than it is to WoW's. It is still an aggro system. I forget how aggro works in City of Heroes - I never played a tank in that and back when I was playing that the word 'noob' was a very good description of me and MMOs. ;) Every MMO I have tried, except for Guild Wars, has an aggro system. They are all different in how they work. Now DnD has one too. It doesn't work the same as the other MMOs, but it does work. To the fanboyz fighting us so hard on this... Why? DnD being similar to WoW is neither a good nor bad statement in and of itself. You don't need to raise your hair up on this one. Figure out whether or not it is accurate without letting that become some judgment of the game. The funniest thing about fanboy defense of the chosen idol is that they get into a tiff over anything and everything said that is either: 1. Said by 'marked' anti-fans or 2. Not worshiping praise, even when not an attack either. I've seen this same thing with every new release from every game I've followed over the last 30 years in this hobby... A few months in, the fanboyz figure out which of our statements were attacks and which weren't, and start agreeing on the neutral ones, or at least not fighting but simply disagreeing. [/QUOTE]
