The early game is super loving dull and the first style tier of moves of the two schools I've tried so far (Infinity and 5 Venoms) are really meh but wow it picks up at 20 when you unlock the second style. Which school is being shown in this vid from the OP?

e: I tentatively conclude this is a pretty fun game if you can get past the horrible chat, the painfully cryptic delivery of all forms of information, and the largely super-low-effort quest content. Also the terrible sound FX. There's some great beatemup going on though.

How is it that gold spammers have a much longer chat input line buffer than normal people do?

Regardless if you like alts this is the game for you, it is hilariously easy to make alts and try out different schools. And don't forget you have 3 character slots.

What? You have 3 slots and it takes a week to delete a character. And you can't get more slots.

Stop rolling alts. No normal goon has the mental fortitude to get one character to 89 let alone two. You are setting yourself up for failure.

But I like failure though. :smith:

Anyway yeah for my 3rd slot I had been thinking about a proper tank but I don't think this game actually does that kind of thing with taunting and aggro management and poo poo so I guess I'll do the machine gun monk thing. You didn't mention Sun/Moon, is that any good?

There are elements of that for 5 Venoms as well but on the other hand you have all these bad rear end whip moves and awesome hats.

e: Lutha be aware your gameplay is super throttled until 20+, when your second style opens up (and it opens up a lot more again at 40).

Help me understand why my Infinity feels really dinky at 42 whereas my 5 Venoms felt awesome and strong all the way up to that point and beyond. What are the good skills, maybe I'm just using crappy ones?

Yeah I realize my 5V has some exceptional 40 gear (+4 to Wormstorm e.g.) that makes it not a very fair comparison, I just expected Infinity to do a lot of DPS. I guess it's more about status effects though, and the large number of fairly strong cylinder attacks are growing on me as well. Thanks for the info.

You know what, a lot of those surveys actually make you fill out 95% of them in 30-45 minute blocks of time (unless you're just clicking randomly) and then they disqualify you. I don't bother with them any more.

This game really fucks you with the gaps that can be caused by not only level but gear and gems as well.

Just about every single RPG that has PVP is like this and it's always indefensible rubbish, I don't understand why anyone is ever surprised by this syndrome or tries to say it is a good paradigm for pvp.

For people on the fence about this game, play 5 Venoms or Sun and Moon, they are both super loving satisfying.

Personally, I got up to level 30 or so before quitting because there's no real way for me to participate in guild shenanigans until I reach high level. :(

Oh naw, there's guild activities for everyone pretty much every day. Plus it takes a couple of days to get to level 40, at which point you have your 3rd skill set and generally you should be feeling pretty awesome about how much whoopass you can dish out.

lohli posted:

Generally people seemed pretty frustrated with the whole thing, with a few people saying they straight up weren't willing to drop money on the game like that.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised at this, it's a gear farming game. These always, without exception, have rubbish pvp when gear is allowed to impact pvp. At least Swordsman has a "fair fight" option in Arena mode that baseline's everyone's numbers and ignores gear.

Are dungeons always super laggy, because I did the one in Mt. Majesty and holy crap it was unpleasant. I spent the whole time rubber banding around, running in place, and often waiting 5+ seconds for commands to process.

There's still a few people playing, the guild will keep going. For my own infinity I upgraded the buff, the heal and the nuke (Solar Chant, Mercy and Tsunami). Post your character name and apply to the guild once you reach 20 (literally like in a few minutes probably) and I'll get you in.

Oh wow, I think the burnout bug has bitten me too. I have no urge to play this game at all. I think my big problem is how rigidly stratified the content is, so you have people teamed in brackets and not very willing to step out of them. It's not even so much that the pace is too slow at higher levels (although it is) or that the hordes of gold farmer bots cut you out of many activities (although they do), it's mainly that so few people are willing to team with people who aren't almost exactly their level. Sorry Misbiopy!

RIP Rawdog, Kaballah and ImGei :smith:
