I can't even install the plugin. :( It just tells me "Chrome is not installed" when i try to install it. I sent an email to support.

I hope I can get over this error soon, since I wouldn't mind trying this again. I played this back in 2008 if I remember correctly. I think there were only three classes back then.

It will always say the chrome thing if you don't have chrome. Try installing anyways.

Sorry, should've been more clear. I have tried, that's how I'm getting the error. I click the installer, it says "Quit Google IE, Chrome, and Firefox?", I hit yes, then it tells me "Chrome is not installed", then closes and brings up an IE window with the DFO site. For what it's worth I have Chrome.

EDIT: Oh wait, this time the IE window brought me to a Facebook login page. It seems to want to install now. Problem solved maybe? :psyduck:

EDIT2: Okay it's installing. I guess I just closed out of the IE window before it could load the login page.

Does anyone remember which classes were best for solo play on this patch?

From what I remember, mbrawlers were soloing monsters thanks to status effect damage and fixed damage on most of their abilities.

Edit: Is this the patch that made rangers and similar classes marginally less dependent on +12 weapons?

I remember that at the time Nexon nuked DFO, Avengers had just been released. We're up to that point and no further in the new client, right?

(Now that I think about it, wasn't Nexon ultimately responsible for nuking City of Heroes, too? Goddamn company.)

For brand new account solo play, you're better off using a class with lots of fixed damage like Male Brawler or Asura.

You might run into early mana issues for some classes though, like Female Grappler.

Definitely stay the gently caress away from both Rangers and any class that relies on exotic weapons (beam saber Weapon Master).

I keep getting "Operation timed out" on the beginner server. Also, this Facebook login/launching from the website thing is a bit stupid and I hope this is only for the alpha, because I'd rather have a proper client launcher.

The nexon version had to launch from the website unless you used a 3rd party launcher

It's a Korean game so I wouldn't count on a launcher.

As for mana, it became less of an issue once alchemists got up and running. You could just buy pots. Give it some time and save some gold.

The launching from the website thing probably won't change, due to the fact that its done like that in every other region but China, if I recall. Facebook thing will most likely have to go (or be optional) eventually, since they'll need an account based system so you can buy Cera or whatever the hell they plan to call it.

Also the operation timed out thing is because that channel is full. Go to a higher level channel like otherverse or ghent or whatever.

What is the general consensus on Neople since "better than Nexon NA" isn't exactly an epic achievement.

Right now for the global launch, its too early to tell. The game is pretty drat buggy at the moment but its alpha, and most of this stuff was happening during before DFO closed down anyways. Generally though they are well received and interact with the community often enough.

I do feel bad for the QA/Dev team who has to go through and debug all these issues.

Maybe the reason for the Facebook tie in is because they want to handle their cash shop via Facebook coins? It might be easier for them that way.

Does anyone have build advice for Asuras? I remember back in 2010 or so they were known for huge fixed damage, but having a really hard time with mana regen. Since the Alpha is almost certainly going to get wiped, I just want to try things out and see what I'd want for the long haul.

I doubt that, as that would require people to sign in through Facebook to play the game (and be able to spend money), which would lock out people who hate/don't have a facebook, along with the fact that it would be a pain in the rear end to implement. Where right now, all they need to do is hook up everything to a billing server.

I could see them adding Facebook Coins as a way to pay, but otherwise expect stuff like PayPal, CC, or various prepaid cards. They will need an account management system anyways for resetting your goblin pad, or submitting support tickets.

Asuras mana problems were largely fixed. Spec into MP regen of it's an issue.

Has anyone managed to find a functioning skill planner yet?
Also if anyone was interested I could do a small writeup about some of the things that changed from early NA nexon DFO when most people probably tried it and quit.

You get a reset at level 20 when you change class. Also, there will probably be a wipe so there's no harm experimenting to see what skills you like best. Depending on the class you can have a lot of leeway in what you skill, or end up super starved for SP.
