It's pretty refreshingly brutal. There are some problems, like enemy respawns being really weird and cutscene text scrolling at the speed of slow, but overall I'm liking it. I'd actually say it feels a lot like Phantasy Star Online, the D&D campaign, more than anything else.

Uh, wow. Mages are pretty bad. Wholly reliant on non-regenerating MP, underwhelming damage compared to my Thief, no survivability, no fallbacks when MP is out, and all their attacks are interruptable. Edit: Also they start out with a dagger that has no M.Atk bonus. Miijhal fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Dec 31, 2012 |

Lotish posted:So how grindy or time-sinky would you say it is? I mean, if you can die forever, are you going to be losing a WoW sized investment or are characters more disposable so there's less heartbreak if you get ashed? It's really, really easy to avoid being ashed. This is on top of the fact that Soul Ranks apply to all characters on the account and starting at SR 3 you get EXP boosts up to certain levels. You also keep all items in your coat room so you can just go pick up whatever you stored on another character. Miijhal fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Jan 1, 2013 |

Economy Clown Car posted:Man, are there even soul rank 2 knuckles in the game? I vastly prefer them to daggers on thief and I have been suffering using an edging dagger for a while. And the market's turning up nothing. You can get a rank 2 knuckle for finishing the first story quest, and a second one from another quest that pops up in town right after hitting SR2.

Mauve MacPhist here. Probably going to make a Gnome Priest named Delphine as well, because holy poo poo their angry emote is the best.

Don't skip the first cutscene about crime. Just don't.

Bashez posted:Mages destroy warriors. Mages are actually pretty awful at one on one PVP, as far as I know. Their cast times are crippling and they're pretty much dead once they get hit. They get much better at level 20, when they can get invest flame, but by that point you're better off switching to a thief and just porting the spell over for the extra survivability and the huge damage boosts from the backstab tree. Thieves are pretty decent in PVP, too. The speed of daggers and knuckles lets you stunlock other players while hide gives you an option to leave the fight and take it on your own terms. They can also heal much more readily than fighters, and have poison traps that really ruin the day of anyone dumb enough to step in them (which is a surprising amount of people).

I've been holding off for a handful of reasons. Waiting for the next big patch in the hopes we'll get a fix to the server issues that are making the game really frustrating at times.

The problem with the game is Aria Reservoir and everything that comes with it, honestly. At that point the amount of EXP and soul points you need to level increases exponentially and there's only one way to get them: grinding Millionaire. Hundreds of times. This is made worse by the fact that following the first dungeon, enemies start becoming stronger faster than the player does, so by Aria Resivoir, you will be one-shot by almost every enemy if you are not a Fighter or Priest. In the end, it just felt like you were getting nowhere instead of being a thrilling challenge.
