Too late to find link so will do tomorrow. If you have an account with NCSOFT, you should go to their website. Also the link I provided in a previous post is a great source of info too.

Wesley Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The only MMOMRPGMMOM I want to ever get into is EVE Online, and that scares me. Same here. This just looks boring for me. I was interested until the 3rd screen shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that snippet of info...I for one, have played it, and have found it to be far more enjoyable than most MMO's I have played. WoW bored me in minutes. This has kept me playing for days.

fex Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I've contemplating on buying the CE, mainly for the bonuses like the black cloud winds. The only place I can find it is online @ £45 which is hella steep! I'm 90% sure I will go for the regular edition from somewhere like gameplay. It's £24.99 saving a tenner from buying it online and saving myself £20 for an extra 10 seconds worth of flying. I'm just trying to do a bit or research on class. I was a priest in WoW and don't want to heal anymorz. I'm thinking of rocking either an Assassin or Ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a priest in WoW and don't want to heal anymorz. I'm thinking of rocking either an Assassin or Ranger. Rangers are cool, have some very nicely animated skills and gear (high level bows are drool worthy) but they have a problem of lottery damage in that what they inflict can vary largely, and it seems as if it's out of the players control to reduce this range. I think some numbers that were given were like 500 - 1500. Assasins are dangerous, very fun to play and my initial class of choice. Some Very flash attacks, but very gear dependent, which can get costly. They can take down any enemy wearing cloth, but if they dont attack accurately against a heavily armoured opponent (they are a burst damage class so they attack very quickly and heavily in a short amount of time) they will have to get away sharpish. Assasins initially level a bit slowly, and it is kinda hard at the start of the game with people dying frequently when fighting enemies of the same level. But you gotta love the perks that come with the class. You may also want to try out the gladiator class. They are an immense amount of fun from what Doncartel has told and shown me. Very tough and deal decent dmg. Some flashy moves too and can use most weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladiators are awesome and are instantly fun to play as but they get pwnd by the mage classes (as does everything else), but if your looking to grind out at the beginning and eventually obtain an insane amount of damage power and really cool flashy moves then play as the assassin class, which imo is an experts choice.

Elyos look pretty but bland imo. Asmodae are what the 'emos' will typically go for, but they half of the world looks more...interesting for lack of a better word.

You say my post wasn't "useful". Firstly you can question what it has to be to be deemed useful and how it depends on the reader, and secondly, it really doesn't have to be useful; it can be an opinion. Shocking, I know. Don't worry though, I'll be the bigger man and I'll just leave it. I'm sorry for offending you and your game. I hope you enjoy it, really, I do. I hope it brings you many hours of happiness.

The more I watch a ranger the more I don't think its for me purely because of the kiting. What specs are your computers? I've got my brothers old machine which isn't working atm. I think it needs a new HD then it will be fine and dandy. Will it run ok on these specs? Core 2 Duo 2.8Ghz - E8800 ATi x1950pro 3Gb Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From personal experience it makes such a huge difference than having 2. Dual Core CPU is what Don has, but obviously Quad core can cope with more. Graphics card, you should be fine with I *think*. Everything else, well not really a problem. A pic from some hefty play. Don died and it looks like im trying to shove something up his butt to help him :S Mission failed, im left all alone.

MATtheHAT Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 So this won't work on my old Samsung NC10 Netbook then? Oh well, I need to get a decent PC anyway, any recommendations? Build my own?

Might have to keep this graphics card for a while long whilst I save up some more moolar. From what I've seen taking down a enemy (pve) seems a lot more challenging than WoW. Whats the leveling speed in comparison with WoW? So this won't work on my old Samsung NC10 Netbook then? Oh well, I need to get a decent PC anyway, any recommendations? Build my own?

If your normal then check out Overclockers for £560 this aint too shabby. I'm sure theres other good deals out there this is the first once I looked at.

I think its slower imo but Wow bored the hell out of me very quickly and I had not even reached level 20. Also WoW has a higher level cap (for now) Plus I have played a chinese open beta by myself, and now this closed beta which will end on monday, meaning i will have had two characters from the same class to boot, but will still buy the game and play that when it comes out. It hurts knowing that my character will be wiped very soon, but im happy that i have ample knowledge about quests and how to go about them now. Stick with me and you will race through the levels .
