Best Of

in the past playing … Darkfall , LOTRO , DOAC, Ultima Online …. to name a few.

first … i see people complaining about character collision. I personally think character collision is a feature not a problem, for me is creates realism not a problem.

there are many people who hate the XP and item loss but they are simply wrong IMO. People that feel this way need to grow up … enjoying a game is immersion. yes, were escaping real life in our entertainment but with no risk there is no reward so immersion is lost without it. there are plenty of games on the market with little of no challenge , not meaning they're not hard but often require reaction speed not real thought thru.

overall, I have enjoyed the feel of the game. too much because its taking too much of my free time.

I wish there were voice overs … personally I have no interest in reading books in my game.

every time I login I see change in maps IU and other things. yah there are bugs its an alpha but overall I'm enjoying my time.

aggravations , commission mob availability, the SUN god is a "big Richard", turning red and not knowing how or why, graves and aggressive mob markers not leaving the mini map, and lack of storage.

I believe limiting fast travel and storage is a good thing, but balancing is probably necessary.

overall I'm enjoying learning the game in bits and pieces. MMO's are not a race to max level but learning growing and adjusting game play. If people want things hand fed to them then need to go play console multiplayer games not an MMO of this design.

I have aways sucked at PvP but have always enjoyed the challenge and danger involved.

cant wait to see where this goes … thanks Intrepid for the efforts to create something that consumes my free time !!!

If anything, levelling is slow. It's slower than Lineage 2, that's for sure, unless you do long group grinding sessions in group, which I find tiring these days.

As for the dungeon design … yeah, it's slop, like everything Intrepid touches. They can't compare with Lineage 2 at all. Shilen Temple, Forgotten Temple, Garden of Eva, Mithril Mines.

I agree with this sentiment. I really would like the leveling to slow down. One of the reasons I like FFXI is because leveling was hard and took awhile. It felt like a real accomplishment to hit milestones. Even if it was some aspects of it that could frustrate you. I also think that this is already a niche game, can't worry about pleasing everyone. And they have said multiple times that this game isn't for everyone, which is ok.

I'd like to see a few actual Weapon Skills to add to my skill-bar, depending on the weapon equipped. But I'm not expecting that to happen.
