I just picked this up and the 2gig update is going to take all night. Any tips or thoughts about this game? Im just looking for an MMO to mess around with for a few months. Prefer a class thats easy to advance early on if possible. Wouldnt mind hearing some opinions about this game.
Play a melee class, otherwise you will miss out on the best part of the game (the amazingly fun melee combat). I’d recommend a herald of xotli, but they start out slow and are hard to keep alive at low levels. I don’t think there’s a cooler or more fun class in any other mmorpg i’ve played so far, and i’ve played them all. A fire mage with a two hand sword that can turn into a bad ass demon? yes please, more of that. You’ll be incredibly squishy but as long as you are alive you are a whirlwind of fire, steel and death.
Thanks, I made a herald last night. Its more fun than the necromancer I was playing with the night before.
A couple of random tips:
Make sure you always have food/drink buffs on you. For a Herald, you’re going to want food/drink buffs for health, stamina, and mana on you at all times.
Also, don’t be afraid to drink health/mana/stamina potions as if they were candy – i.e., if your health is at 50% and the fight won’t be over in the next 3 seconds, go ahead and drink a health potion. They’re cheap, just make sure you restock when you’re in town.
Interesting. Did they finally clean this game up? I understand it was not particualrly well-made at release.
Its perfect for what HorseloverFat is looking for, a diversion for the next few months (i’m assuming hes waiting for Aion or Champions Online. The game IS and always was FUN to play, it just suffered from lack of content and a retarded loot system, both of which have been solved for the most part. The end game is currently wow style raiding and some half assed city siege pvp system, that’s where i lose interest.
