But I know that investing in this means I will neglect other things I'm playing, and right now that's Warframe and I'm really INTO Warframe. So I'll probably hold back.<br /><br />I'm glad you're reporting on it.XyzzySqrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492223901575470508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-33355085952416795122018-08-22T14:50:30.006+01:002018-08-22T14:50:30.006+01:00I played some as well last nite - as the dark elf ...I played some as well last nite - as the dark elf race, tank class, and yes totally different intro then what you described. My balloon ride went off without a hitch. I actually really like the combat - something about timed. Combos that require at least a little bit of reaction adds enough to make it so much more interesting then full tab targeting. Cities do look good and yes have a bit of that BDO organical feel but nothing can match BDO for actual walking down a dusty road and wandering into a well realized village/city after a few outlying buildings. Still I can totally see getting my $30US for it - enjoying the gameplay so far like yourself.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632504896755877667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-33658237890382912842018-08-22T11:26:42.311+01:002018-08-22T11:26:42.311+01:00I don't think it would be exaggerating to say ...I don't think it would be exaggerating to say that MMOs are now a PvP sub-genre. What was the last major MMO, domestic or imported, to release with no PvP at all and no plans to add any? Project: Gorgon I guess and that's a niche indie title. And even the days of the PvP and PvE audiences being served separately on different servers or in self-contained instances are largely over. <br /><br />I like PvP and I like open world PvPvE but I fail to see how the current offer serves the market. You'd think someone would see the potential to sell to a full carebear demographic but I guess it's just so much easier and cheaper to let PvP handle that need for content that never runs out.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-9675546589622217612018-08-22T09:53:21.582+01:002018-08-22T09:53:21.582+01:00This speaks to my post of today.

Actually releasing one of these graphically sumptuous games without forced PVP would be pretty revolutionary.Telwynhttp://gamingsf.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-71090131893564925892018-08-22T08:45:24.439+01:002018-08-22T08:45:24.439+01:00I think the tl:dr would be "It's a middli...I think the tl:dr would be "It's a middling Korean MMO. If you've enjoyed others and you're at a loose end, this will fill some time". I wouldn't put it any more strongly than that. It is pretty, though, and the story seems better than some, from what I've seen so far.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-2970734838019877562018-08-22T00:02:55.134+01:002018-08-22T00:02:55.134+01:00Thanks for going over it.

Looking forward to sitting down with it some more.SDWeaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488471776763440523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-74829728690404558612018-08-21T16:57:06.580+01:002018-08-21T16:57:06.580+01:00Well, it is PvP from level 30.

But if there really is a different starting area and main questline for every race then that's a lot of PvE content before you get to the PvP.<br /><br />On the translation, it's functional enough but it's not great. If they polish it the way they've polished the first ten levels or so then it will be fine. I would guess they won't, though, unless the game does better than it seems to be doing at the moment.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-64056741870329179082018-08-21T16:48:43.643+01:002018-08-21T16:48:43.643+01:00It still looks and sounds pretty good.

I tested a game once, Mythos,I think, that was really different and cool, but the translation was very rough, to the point of seeming almost incomprehensible. I couldn’t get past that.Atherenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773969634802702992noreply@blogger.com
