Edit: Nvm, it popped up on my login screen for the first time lol, I guess that's that. Go to your "Home" window (for me it's 'L') and at the bottom right you have a button "Daily Quests". You can only pick them up and have to visit the guy when completing them. On May 07 2013 12:26 Risen wrote: Forgot to mention my biggest complaint.

I would also add a minimum time filter to avoid at least some those "Fast XP" maps. Apart from that, yep, the interface sucks. It's not really sorted. | ||

Way back when I played wow it took months to get fully geared :S I don't see any deceit at all. Edit: reading that made me happier about the game, what am I missing? (I enjoy the game, though. I completely understand there will be people who want vanilla wow combat, single player rpg depth in quests, etc. Complaints about the f2p model ring hollow for me) Erhm no. In WoW took months of raiding (so, clearing out zones), not of grinding daily quests/skirmishes just FOR THE ENCHANTS. It takes you a couple of weeks for a single enchant, not your enchants. You still have to get the gear aswell. For example, the PvP set has completely retarded price where you need to do around 200 of them to get one piece, and that's if you do them when they are "up" for their 45 minutes. Not to speak that it is also your cash ingame, because gold serves no purpose. Edit - In short, you can play 1-60 withouth paying. But not high end except if you are either a guy who stays in front of his computer 24/7 because there is little you can achieve with little time, or you are a person who spends amounts of cash on games just for the sake of it. | ||

WoW raids were grindy as well. I once ran some dungeon 50 times before a drop I wanted fell. I don't know anything about the pay service. Is it just a straight up money for gear kind of thing? | ||

Level 60 PvE content right now needs a proper group more than a small numerical advantage by an enchant. PvP is using a domination map right now and not some 1v1 or arena setting where every kill is crucial - again group play is the deciding factor and not a small chance to stun someone thanks to an enchantment (the stun enchantment everyone is claiming to be crucial is a procchance after a crit, so yea...). There are things to worry and complain about in PvP, but getting hung up on those enchantments is really missing the whole point. That said, I do remember lvl 60 WoW Stratholme monastery runs to gather Righteous Orbs for enchants.. and that took ages if the whole group needed them. That was especially true pre Molten Core opening (yea, there was a time in WoW without raids) Edit: Obtaining a PvP set doesnt really take that long. It's like 15 games per piece, fast compared to WoW and there is no penalty for using PvE loot. | ||

Though from a non-realism, game design perspective, I can see "move while fighting" being more fun simply because it increases the freedom and control a player has over his character. No one likes being forced to lock themselves into long animations. Still, I think it's best to have a balance like in good fighting games, where some moves move the character, some moves can be made while moving, and all moves have some sort of startup and lag time. | ||

Just like in TERA or any other action game, when you start an animation, you're gonna be wherever that animation takes you unless you cancel it. I believe the basic premise for that is that any martial maneuver has its root in footing. A person's legs and hips can generate a huge amount of leverage... except that leverage isn't generated if you're swinging while backpedaling or sidestepping wherever you feel like. The WoW notion of being able to attack for the same damage while moving at a fixed rate in any direction is practically ridiculous.

The problem is that some of my moves have a relatively long animation. And it's frustrating when I go to use a move and then a millisecond after, the mob starts some frontal AOE that I can no longer dodge because I'm mid animation. Being able to strafe out of it wouldn't be too much to ask. Although, I understand what you're saying from a realism and physics standpoint. | ||

The closest thing to real dnd in this game is the Neverwinter setting, but it is only going to be familiar to people that played 4e pen&paper. Questing is standard MMO, maybe a bit less of kill X enemies and bring me their pelts quests but only other standard MMO I tried was SWTOR so I can only compare to that one (I also tried DDO, but I don't really consider it MMO, more like party based MP game) | ||

foundry farming is way too good and makes questing kind of useless. imo the game is surprisingly good and the f2p system is acceptable. thousands of active players make it enjoyable. | ||

How do you find the best foundry quests? The average playthrough time seems deceptive and the number of people recommended for each one doesn't seem to be listed for all of them...... Just seems like a random bunch of user created scenarios that are hard to navigate. | ||

Foundry quests are too good to ever do a quest.. past lvl 20 a Control Wizard can literally get a level every 5 minutes. I went from 23-50 in like 4 hours and that's including making lunch, watching a SC2 tourney, and going afk. Hulk Farm = 1 lvl per run, run takes about 10 spells if u use your points correctly. am really not liking what people are saying about the end-game... IDK they are def pushing people to pay by making big advantages for it. While you don't NEED to pay, it def cant hurt. | ||

Actually they don't. You get the same total number of stats when creating the character, the random roll is just how it is spread out through your 6 stats and the game always give you most in your primary (18-20), around 14-16 in your 2 secondary and 9-11 in other 3 | ||
