here are some thoughts on your comments...i know you came from ac1 without playing other online games inbetween....
so i can see your point, but coming fresh from Daoc to ac2 beta let me cast some light on it for ya

1. need to group with a healer--- same as in Daoc...if you everyone could solo why would anyone play a support role?

2. the extreme damage the high level mobs do---i think they should tone this down...

3. current ineffectiveness of tanking at high levels--good point there is no way to tank higher level mobs without a Tact or some pathing issue

4. just not having healing kits---again that would make support roles less appealing to play

5. lack of storage--yup a big problem it's annoying only having one pack

6. limitations of templates-- i don't buy that the limitations are that bad..and they might make more...who knows

7. console like playability--eh it grows on ya...you'll see

8. chat windows (though i know they are getting improved)--yup if you customize them there not to bad

9. boredom of only taking one mob at a time, and has to be around your level.--again same as in Daoc for the most part if your solo that is

10. lack of cool gear (I read these will be changed)--i think they will add cool gear like gsa stuff and quest items over time...

11. going to take months of updates to fix most of these issues.---yeah this point sucks lol

12. 3 different islands separating content, and stuck with the bleak winter scene on Linvak for high levels.--well...
in AC1 i never left A.Island...then when AcDM came out i never left that isle...

plus you've never seen bleak snowy mountians till you've played on Midguard right Garr?

Things I do like:
1. less down time for non-hunting/questing stuff (no comps or arrows to make) --less annoying than in ac1 yay!
2. graphics--graphics rock...if you have a super machine
3. new monsters--yay the Gurogs look badass =)
4. ingame quest panel--almost like Daoc's....it's helpfull
5. lots of quests with exp rewards that are re-doable--this part rocks...a good alternative to powerleveling

waiting to dec/jan to start playing is a good idea...
improved game..maybe less bugs...

to bad i'm not good at waiting =P
