    Ok, just 1 question then. Can any of you DF followers tell me the system requirements? Come on, that's shouldn't be hard to answer for a game that's been in closed beta for 8 months and is just about to finish open beta and be released.  What are they??

     

    Fratman the game is not in open beta yet. It is currently in closed beta only.

    ================================
    Version 1.29.0.255 (11-25-08)

    Training:
    We've added a new training feature. New players will need to complete a set of basic training tutorials. Upon completion of these tutorials, players will gain access to all of their personas.

    Two new planes have been added in the early tiers. The Allies receive the Spitfire Mk Ib and the Axis receive the Bf109E1.

    Regardless, Wizard101 doesn't support botting.  I doubt any bots exist for it, anyway, due to it's style of play, which doesn't lend itself towards automation.

    I agree with you on this I have not played Wizard 101 but I know there is MMORPG's out there that do have bots enabled from there item mall. I was not sure if this was the case or not, this is why I quoted the RoC to the person I quoted. Since it has been confermed that the game does not have bots or support them I have removed his quote.

    If the game supports botting that is upto them. MMORPG.com supports all kinda of games for adults and kids I do not see how this is a problem. Why should MMORPG.com report on only one kind of market?

    Sounds like a review from the originial WWIIOL... circa 2001.   

    More recent reviews would go more like this...

    "I spawned into a truck in a bush and ran headlong into MG fire from a guy who was running around with a LMG like a assualt rifle."  

    I have never seen this happen yet. I have been playing since 2001 Both Allied and Axis and I would go further to saying that the Axis LMG is more accurate then the French and British LMG's

    Or

    "I spawned in a tank and died, because someone was camping the vehicle spawn, so I spawned in 12 more till there were no more."

    This is why people spawn sappers I know new people do just keep spawning tanks in to die this is why new players should get a squad and be shown the ropes. Mind you saying this I have spawned ATG's many times during a camp or an FB lock down and with a little teamwork we have killed there camp.

    Or

    "I ran for hours and seen no one, this game SUCKS!"

     Again people need to be trained up maybe when they add the new tutorials it will be more new user friendly. After all this is a SIM not a run and gun FPS.

    I love how all the positive reviews are from the allied side.   Fanboy much?   I can even fathom a positive review from the German side...  "I spawned in a Panzerkampfwagon IIC and fired 120 AP rounds at a French tank and it didnt die.... it shot me once and I exploded!  THIS IS AWESOME!"    "I took a 109F4 up and hit a spitfire with 20 cannon rounds and it out ran me then out turned me, then did 20 loops and shot me in the head with 1 hit, AWESOME!"   WAIT theres more!!!!!  

    It is not a case of allied fanboyism but more of a case that people allied and axis love the game if axis did not like the game then it would be just allied. And axis would not have spawn delays.

    As for the quote about Allied armor being overpowered what about the Tiger tanks ? I would love to see your comment on this tank. The Tiger tank is most armored tank in the game and it is not an allied tank.

    Yes IIC's are easy to take out but do not forget that 88's own any armor out there and are the most powerful ATG in the game. Anyhow I would rather spawn a Stug over a IIC any day.

    "I spawned a bf110C and climbed to 6.5KM and tried to catch a DB7 bomber.... it out ran me and bombed the factories, then did a turn tighter than me and out ran me all the way back to its airfield.  This game is GREAT!"  

    I have seen many RPD runs fail on both sides not from chasing but from scouting the air before there target. Seen this happen both Allied and Axis if people plan there moves instead of just chasing the red squares you have more chance to take it out.

    lmfao.  

    Sorry some things just need to be said.

     

    Again this is not a game for everyone. You either love it or hate it but from the time I have played I have enjoyed the game. It really boils down to are you prepared to learn the game before you give up. Yes some Tier's are more slightly overpowered then the others in certain areas but this is what causes the fight to be more fun. Because as a tier unlocks the map moves about then again I have seen both sides win the war if it was so one sided only one side would ever win.
