Well, the part where you have to collect the parts for the halberd was ridiculous when you're a Warrior and have to infiltrate the Wizard area. Wizard infiltrating the Warrior area on the other hand was easy. the warrior entering the wizard place was probably the most fun part in singleplayer nox. i just love chasing those wizards around as they teleport away and try to use fireballs and shit on you, but you just use warcry and they all run away, haha. the most annoying part there is that the wizards use fumble on you. | ||

Fucking awesome, I loved that part as Warrior (and entering the Warrior place as Wizard, too). Nox is great, I always hated that I never found people to play multiplayer with =( | ||

Like tons of shurikens of bewilderment. | ||

Haha, it's also better than SC2's PvP  Anyway, Nox was a really, really fun game. I didn't make it to the last level though, but was close. I simply played it when I was a bit too young to understand how to use the warrior's spells properly. | ||

And use the halberd of horrendous (which can't be fumbled) a fair amount, along with charge/warcry to move quickly and keep from getting spelled down. I'm going to second that it was my favorite part of the game, though. | ||

As far as I know, it was the first competitive action game in a fantasy setting - at least mainstream. As people have said, the singleplayer really wasn't that good, but some peopel are huge fans of it for whatever reason. The multiplayer was fantastic, and one of the main reasons was the design of the player input and combat mechanics. You either hit or miss based off where you clicked (and/or how close you were or if they had a shield up), no silly % chances to miss or hit (armor reduced certain damage types depending on the armor type (and increased an elemental damage type)). The way the controls were designed, you had access to far more abilities than you could in any other games I've ever played. You had 5 ability hotkeys (ASDFG) per ability set and you could easily toggle through up to 5 ability sets, making it quite easy to cast up to 25 abilities. Most games now used left hand for movement, but since this game uses mouse for movement AND aim, it frees the left hand to do much more. The only downside is you can't run backwards, but IMO that's a pretty good thing, because I find running backwards in virtually any game is really lame. I really wish this game got balanced and improved a bit more, and held it's popularity like some other games. This is one of the only good non-FPS/RTS PvP games I've ever played (along with Guild Wars), and it really deserves a spot in gamer's hardrive's instead of stupid grindfests that have ridiculously bad PvP such as diablo and diablo 2. I think games like DotA/LoL/HoN would be better if they used nox-style controls and mechanics, as it makes it much easier and skillful to do virtually everything. I am annoyed that Starcraft 2 does not support mouse position. It's so ridiculous, because so many potential custom games could take advantage of that, and it's absolutely critical to have a variety of good games on the SC2 platform. If SC2 supported mouse position, it would have been possible to make a remake of Nox for SC2 (although the game lag would have to be fixed for it to be viable PvP) | ||
