Yah lots of warriors.
I remember 5 years ago they stated that you will need at least a basic amount of magical skills in order to compete, but these videos are showing mostly melee combat.
Epic sea battles.
We will deffo need to be part of a bigger 'clan' if we want to take part in the massive battles.
But I'm sure it will be funny to do small raids and PKing stuffz as we are.
Gonna go watch the final half of the video later.

The explosions and spell effects are quite dreadful.
Far far too much emphasis on fps style combat.
Definately looks like you need numbers in order to do end game stuff like city capturing/destruction.
On the other hand, I've waited for over 5 years for this, so it's definately going to be worth trying out at the very least.
I wonder how the non PvP areas of the game will be catered for - you can't have a game that is 100% pvp orientated, else it may get boring pretty soon.

the knockbacks look very much like an old quake 3 game or something. recon you can "spell-jump"? the fire effects look more like theyre from doom or something. but it could very well be good fun, sure hope so.

Looks cool, I think the graphics are good enough just apart from some of the fire animations obviously. I figure they'll switch those or something (hope).
The naval shit looks win, both ship to ship and ship to land.
I think overall it won't really be about individual skill like uo could be at times, it'll be mostly about tactics and planning, and to a lesser extent numbers.
I'd already figured how the combat would be, but the spells that send people flying are a bit odd, not sure I like that. Signed up for beta anyway.

I think there will be a great scope for small groups, the way the HUD works you could probably hide and ambush, perhaps not in the same vein as soloing in UO, but I reckon the potential is there.
Ship stuff looks ace, if incredibly complicated, i'm imagining one person per cannon, several to manouver the ship (sail/wheel etc) and others to fight on deck, could be awesome though.

Lol just watched the video looks pretty cool. I assumed the game was isometric.
The fights look ridiculous but fun at the same time. I like the way in the video everyone was kamikaze jumping into combat. Many dexer.
The ship battles look ok, more fun 1on1 I think. My best ship tactic from watching that video would be to ENGAGE WITH CANNON like normal but then send a couple of INFILTRATION AGENTS to board the enemy ship and kill them all while they are standing at the cannons.
But actually what looked most fun in that trailer was the short glimpse of exploration, stuff like jumping over ice platforms with your homies to ice castles and shit like that for the first time. Hopefully it will be like UO and rewards the explorer.
