Anyone playing this?

 

[Ctuchik]

not atm but i'm thinking about buying it tomorrow (will have it on tuesday/wednesday)


heard some mixed things about it tho. like running out of quests early on and such.

 

[BloodOmen]

I've got it theres plenty of quests but in all honesty players simply don't communicate making it the most pointless online game ever lol.. I just started to play it offline eventually.

Its in my wardrobe now gathering dust. Havent played it for about 2 months or so now I heard from a friend its riddled with bot users now tho (wahey diablo 2 all over again)

 

[Hawkwind]

Played it a bit online and grouped up a few times, has been a laugh. Just about to complete the initial story quests on a lvl 29 hunter. Once complete was going to try a Cabalist pet spec in Epic mode.

Hunter is called Marricus if you need any help getting started up. Cabalist is Dubai but will reroll him once hunter is finished with quests. Should be today, have completed 3 of the 4 tests then just the big mobs to do.

 

[rynnor]

I have a hunter but the game was just a bit too easy for my liking - the weapons do too much damage to the mobs so they dont have much of a chance.

Pretty much everything can be easily kited and wiped by the hunter.

I imagine the melee/pet classes were a lot harder but my advice is avoid the hunter if you want fun (unless you enjoy easymode).

 

[Ctuchik]

well its ordered now so should have it by wednesday at the latest. so if any of you ppl wanna give me the tour when i have it feel free

 

[WiZe^]

Only tired the demo and I dident like it at all. thought it rly kinda rubbish =P

 

[Starman]

Yes the lack of communication, and community spoiled it for me personally.

 

[Ctuchik]

could start an FH guild or something tho?

I'd join for sure. Taking my hunter through quests on Knightmare lvl now. Way tougher, end up to having to kite some elite mob groups back to the starting points.

Just did the mind of the Engineer quest. The 3 or 4 mobs that pop (id, psych...) each took ages to get down. Plus they were all lvl 45 with me at only lvl 33.

 

[Ctuchik]

well got the game now and played through the first "chapter". looks ok but i didnt quite like the GW type instancing on all the zones :/

 

[Ctuchik]

anyone know if theres a respec feature in this game? kinda fubared my summoner a tad and dont quite feel like rerolling.

Heard my brother talking about some respec at stonehenge.

 

[Ctuchik]

that was a respec token given out with that patch. aparently there isnt one simmilar to WoW so ppl will have to wait for a patch that have skill changes in it to be able to respec >.<

 

[Hawkwind]

Heard my brother talking about some respec at stonehenge.

The respec was for all char types if you had a paid account. If its the free type acount then I think it was for Summoner and Evoker only, might be wrong but its what I remember from the patch notes.

Rynnor, I also have a hunter and found it pretty easy going with the exception of the final quest episode. However playing in Hardcore mode now from lvl 27 up has proved alot more difficult. Weapons have to be constantly updated for max dmg. Most senarios the mobs are 5 - 7 levels above and certain demon types are just a knightmare if in any numbers. Some solo missions I have had to give up on or get some help.

 

[Ctuchik]

anyone mind telling me how deep necropolis deep is?

tried doing that quest a few times now but i get to bored once i get down to lvl 4 or 5 xD

can't see a bloody thing down there so usually i takes me a few hours to wallhug my way around >.<

From memory I think its 4, you basically keep going down and end up in 'The Necropolis Deep'

 

[Ctuchik]

yeah i finally made it all the way down. and those night vision googles u get for that mission weren't doing much of any good :/

Patch 2.0 is out soon.

Am I the only Freddy still playing ?

 

[Ctuchik]

i'm still paying subs. waiting for the respec token so i can un nerf my summoner before i can play again..

 

[Wij]

Start a new character

I paid for Founder offer so I'm happily plugging away.

3 level 50s. One with Rank 28. Desperately trying to grind ranks before they nerf rank XP in patch 2.0...

 

[Ctuchik]

i'm allergic to starting over so i'l wait for that respec token

 

[Wij]

Start a Marksman. You need more than 1 character surely ?

 

[Ctuchik]

i have all the toons i find interesting enough to play. tho marksman isnt one of them.

have a engi and a summoner and i'm quite happy with just those.

 

[Ctuchik]

well its over

Toss

 

[Ctuchik]

well i gave my ickle summoner another spin and promptly got my arse handed to be by those feldemonthingys that use AE ignite fiealds. fucking HATE those mobs on that summoner. i cant do shit if those are on the map, and 9 times out of 10 they are :/

so i spend ~30 minutes resetting the map just to get a playable one


/edit: anyway, FSS has a statement up on their forum claiming that they still own the IP rights.

not sure who i'm gonna believe atm but i think i'l side with FSS mainly because i'd like that game to continue the way it does. and not turn into yet another fucking useless asian game if that korean company gets a hold of it.

 

[Wij]

AOE damage is the bane of summoners. All the pets are fragile as bone china.

I reckon Hanbitsoft is probably the only hope HGL has. FSS has no money to continue paying for the servers.

Colour me foolish for paying for a lifetime subscription for a game that only lasted 9 months

 

[Ctuchik]

yeah i was pondering if i should get lifetime to but decided against it. guess it was the proper choice to make. because i doubt that lifetime sub will transfer over to whatever new company that gets the game.

 

[Wij]

It's gone. Servers and forums vanished last night.

Who'd buy another MMO now ?
