Only difference I see between the "supposed" alpha vs. beta is AA is turned off in alpha and is on in beta..Actual gameplay/graphic comparison are the exact-same, to me.

Any vids in high-quality? There had to be more than one-person with a camera there?!(be-it German or not and fyi, I do not believe the person who made the random-german comment, made it as a racial-slur or to defame people of Germany..and entitled?! c'mon. random bs-% that 98% of forum-replies are condescending, at best. "example" all the "grass-comments" dragging hate from one topic to an other)

I know I'll probably get flamed for this comment, but am I the only one that went "Danm, would you look at that? looks like Bliz. let SE use their game engine."

Not flaming, just wondering what you're talking about. What Blizzard game looks this good?

The basic movement looks exactly the same. The way the camera seems to lock at points, but is also freely movable when moving (seems different from how it currently acts). The way they seemed to remove alot of the movement lock from actions...

It's not the graphics that look similar, it's the basic gameplay that looks the same.

edit; not saying it's a bad thing, but had to point it out.

Many of them things you mention are a staple of Modern MMO User Interface Qualities.

People want quick response, familiar controls, and familiar User Interface elements in order to lessen the difficult and learning curve; while still providing a unique feel to the game.

Many of these things were brought to light before WoW or Blizzard as you so put; however, this does not make it the "same" game. Would you say all FPS are the same because they have Guns on the screen, and the bullets to the side?, Would you say that Age of Empires and Starcraft are the same?, Or how about Theatrhythm and Guitar Hero?
While comparisons can be made from both sides, it's what the game plays like, feels like and ultimately contains that really sets it apart from the competition.

Huh....so thats what would happen if FFVII and Skyrim had a baby together.

Quite true, but the current systems used in Crystal engine and what are on display in 2.0's build are markedly different. I was mostly stating how similar the new build is to WoW, as that is what it most closely resembles over any other current (MMO)RPG I've recently played.

Also true, and I agree. It's not often that new games in a similar genera have entirely different control schemes, the trick is trying to hide similarities.

It's all about hiding the similarities when it comes to making games "unique" these days, because (let's face it) the diversity of gameplay and gameplay mechanics has become smaller and smaller over the years. There are designs that work, and those that don't (most of which get phased out quickly or end up killing profits).

Content is the more important factor in it all, either way.

Those are standard features of any game engine -- especially within the past 15 years.
