Thanks. I just use Enhance x2 standard AA on CCC. I realised it gets buggy on npc conversations with Post Processing on if you don't force AA. | ||

Combat is fun, could use some balance tweaking from what I've experienced, but the story and the quests seem so bad. I wish they made this more diabloish so I could focus on what's good on this game, instead of running from A to B and from B to A against to get a quest I do not care about. The graphics I don't mind. Hope the story gets better later on, I'm 'only' 4-5 hours in. | ||

Can you specify if you use Enhance AA or Override AA please? cause as far as i know there is no standard AA option in the game menu? thanks | ||

They also give you a moral dilemma to solve. I found that story to be very fresh. I also was always interested whats going on in an area and did the quests just like in skyrim, really cant complain about any WoW feelings. | ||

The story so far is ok. The House of Ballads questline was nice. But what I don't like is mostly the quest which involves "Run to A, then to B, then to C and then back to me". So boring and time consuming. I also really like the Lorestones. I'm trying to find as many as possible but not just for the reward. They are well written. I guess we all know that the inventory isn't optimal but after a while I got used to it and it wasn't that bad. What is annoying however is when I'm at the forge, crafting new gear and there is no way to see my current gear while I'm crafting the new one. I would very much like to see what I'm wearing while I'm crafting the new one so I can see what pieces to put in the gear. I would probably give this game a 7/10 so far. It's nice, and the battle system is keeping those ratings up but there is room for improvement! | ||

The graphics I don't mind. Hope the story gets better later on, I'm 'only' 4-5 hours in. the regular side quests are really stupid and fetch-and-retrieve, but i've come to enjoy the main story line. frankly, i completely agree with how dull the side quests are. 23 hours in i am not doing any side quests unless they are in a new area and worth using to level up. the interest i have in actually helping the people is completely zilch and i only even accept them so that i can just complete them while i go run around the map with the main quest and lorestone hunting (which i do actually really enjoy, the dialogue there is great). i actually ignored the main story line for a good 10 hours, but then i conceded and did it, and now i'm basically rushing down it while using side quests as an excuse to explore the area. i started the house of ballads and that is quite good as well, but it's taken a backseat because i wanna know more about the chick with black hair. she's basically the only character i care about so far at this point, aside from the Fae in general (won't name specific people/things for spoiler's sake). | ||

I think Bows are totally amazing and borderline OP. I don't get how everyone complains about them =P It's by far the best weapon in the game from what I've seen. Chakrams are completely overrated, they're way too slow in my opinion. | ||

I don't know, I might be slow, but I've just finished all quests in Dalentarth I could find and I'm on my way into Plains of Erathell & Detyre. I'm lvl 20 and I've gone for full Finesse with Daggers + Faeblades which is amazingly fun when you get all your moves. I've specced a lot into Blacksmithing because I wanted to check out how that was and... it's ok. Nothing major really. You can create items which are better than most drops, but like I said, nothing major. I thought that gold was gonna be a problem, but nah, after you get like 10k gold or more, it just keeps coming. Especially if you don't go for Blacksmithing and just sell everything you don't need. The story so far is ok. The House of Ballads questline was nice.

It's X if you're using a pad. That compares it to w/e you're currently wearing in that spot. | ||

Ok, granted I haven't used bows b/c i'm going magic, but I am using Chakrams....they're broken...like in the best way possible but they're OP. I can 1v1 any mob and kill them w/ just Chakrams. Any mob. Even a troll. | ||

It's not too bad because Faeblades with any elemental enchant/gem look baller as fuck. I also have a really OP bow that I switch to at times. | ||

They're super slow after the initial hits as well =S For me it becomes just 2 hits -> dodge repeat and then it deals no damage at all It's a long process of focusing on one 1-2 pokes at a time (everything else is not a guaranteed hit) and timing parries (but do not use the special attack after parries, it's not cancellable) so that you basically never really take damage from surrounding enemies. If there's a spellcaster, focus on them. That's about it. EDIT: But yeah, until you have daggers good enough that they outdamage the dagger-throwing spell (at the closest range possible all 5 daggers hit one target, it's massive at the beginning) you shouldn't use them besides assassinating from sneak mode.

Bows are stupidly good later on in the game because of arrow rain and the multiple shot at max levels. Arrow Rain + Frost or Lightning destroys mobs so easily (Arrow Rain has a weird bug where it shoots from the side sometimes, or maybe it's on purpose, either way it shuts down forward movement so hard). Multiple Shot fires 5 charged arrows from one, so if anything walks up to you while you charge they're dead in two seconds (they can all critical strike). And they both synergize with frost traps so well in narrows corridors. =) | ||
