the less wow like stuff I assume comes into it later in the game - not counting the lovely graphics
I rolled slayer and the combat, while different, wasn't vastly so.
I have only played 10-12 hours worth so can't say this for sure but typically Korean MMO's put even the worst western offenders to shame with the level of grind required so I'd beware if you are interested in getting into this
ESPECIALLY when secret world and guild wars 2 are soon for release
For those wondering ~ I've been playing this and loving it. I'll put up a database in the OP if anyone else wants to play as it goes live tomorrow i think!
Any game that looks like wow ruins it for me. Yeah, the graphics are nice but the art apart from the flashyness looks unoriginal. Screen shot 1 looks like Astranaar, 2 looks like Ulduar/Halls of Lightning/Stone, 3 looks like Crystalsong Forest and 4 looks like Undercity/Tirisfal Glades.
I suppose I can forgive the UI because wow just managed to make a really good one that it's hard to stray away from it too much. Rift also made use of customization in a way that WoW usually required addons for so between those two there's not much new to bring to the table.
I have heard good things about the combat system. I think that's where any good MMORPG type game has to find its own footing. I hope there's more stuff that it introduces to make it stand out. If I had the time I'd like to play this game, but anything that looks like WoW already reminds me of that year without a soul spent farming gold for epic mounts and desperately accumulating badges of justice to make my rogue top raid dps T_T. I don't think I'll ever enjoy a game like this again, but if it turns out to be ballermode...let me know
I might considering that you can use a xbox controller (cause it's a chill game.). Tried the closed beta, liked it.
It's a bit boring with the grind but alcohol solves that problem. :P
