Sick Grindfest
Sick Grindfest.
Thats the best description I can come up with of this game. Gotten to lvl 40 or so. Im amazed how masochist some people are and what they will go through just to get some lvls. Nothing justifies such a boring waste of time, not even it being free.
If you were thinking of trying this, dont, you get what 1 quest per lvl that gives 5% xp and have to kill the same few mobs 100s of time to lvl its the worst contentless mmo I had the misfortune to try so far.

Yes im seriously considering it seeing how pathetic it can be, but some actually made the lvling process a fun rewarding ride with alot of diversity and a cool story to follow. Not killing 800 of the same kung-fu clowns just to have to move to the next pack of saber clowns except having to kill 1000 before moving to the saber zombies to .... .... .....
Spend a year killing kung-fu clowns so you can get to 218 and feel cool about it,I know ill be doing something better with my life
Imho you have to want to play in the first place for there to be any chance in you liking the game. I thought the grind was bad in this game but i keep wanting to play cause i want to see what would happen if my character got stronger and what different styles i would get this is what keeps me playing 9 dragons. Ive felt like there wasnt a game for me before i think that alot of people on this site have but we wait and watch for the next game hoping it brings us what we want. i wont play 9 dragons forever but it is fun for right now i guess im just waiting for somthin else.

Like spending your life being a Console Clown and whining about online games in an online games forum?
Online games aren't suppose to be played over the weekend then thrown into a box to be forgotten until some day when you're bored. They're designed to be played over years, a simple fact that short minded twits can't seem to grasp, especially the ones who keep spamming and whining about it in online game forums.
Gee you spent a few days and you're not an instant server god being worshipped by women all over the world ::sniff sniff:: Go play your little console game in cheat mode so you can fool yourself into thinking you're a real gamer, then claim you've grown up and swear off gaming for the rest of your boring life. The community will miss you... NOT, nor will we miss your insightful whining, nor will we miss your false sense of superiority. Cya, wouldn't wanna Be ya.

Ill go play my ps3 now, become the server god, stopping by the temple for my daily women worshipping from all over the world playing the holy wii in cheat mode so I can be what I strive to be: a real gamer, so have a good day Tim.

That's very nice for you. Please don't come back, there are enough post similar to yours we don't need yet another.
come on now..... what do you want... an I WIN button?
Its not a matter of having an IWIN button, just some fun story and other things to do than kill the same mob 1000 times to lvl without any other option to lvl. For instance I got into a team in 9dragons and people were really brainless grinders. I just went afk for 1hour and they didnt notice it, just shows how teamwork and effort is required to lvl in this game.
I didnt post here to convince a few stubborn idiots and 12 years old that cant counter arguments that this game was trash since those people are generally worthless and not worth bothering with, but simply to give my honest opinion as a long time mmorpg player what this game was like. So please stop being on the defensive, take it as what it is.

You aren't looking for anything, you're just parroting the same old garbage that every console clown comes in crying about, so much for your feigned superiority... again
BTW If you had really been looking for why the game is good you would have just read some of the other threads stating what they liked about the game, not just started another whiner thread, so much for that lie...

Quests;
Kill 100 bulls!
kill 200 monkeys!
Its just another korean grind game
There are no Bulls except what you're slinging here, and there are no Monkeys, aside from the usual forum monkeys who post the same clap trap over and over under various new names.
You never even played the game, that's obvious

case in point, this is on the extreme side.... but i view it no different then any game on here.... If you have to kill -quest - or pvp to level.. is that not grinding?
if you want skill based id suggest an MMOFPS or FreeWorld (archer takes skill) just about EVERY other game requires you to grind and also in 9Dragons the fun doesnt start untill you get higher level, i was bored outa my mind untill i hit OC1 so dont judge a game untill you play it for a while longer.
Come on, not all grinds are created equal. 9Dragons is about as simplistic and repetitive as spawn camping grindfests can get. Just because some fool reduced all the content in WoW to the same thing doesn't make it the same thing. It's amazing that this board isn't full of comments like the OP.
When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world.
Maybe we're just sick of whiners, Maybe we're just sick of Asian game haters, Maybe we're just sick of Console Clowns, Maybe we're just sick of we're just sick of people posting about a game they know nothing about just to keep a stupid flame going.
One thing we're not sick of is the game.

"Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and things with... molecular structures."
I do agree, 9 Dragons is a horrible grind fest. Not just because you need to kill countless mobs to level, but because of the skill grinding. One of my toons has a skill that at Chi 1 gets 0.005 % xp per cast. That means that it will take 20,000 casts to just get to Chi 2. With a 3 sec cast / cooldown, that is 1000 minutes (16 hours and 40 minues) of just casting that one spell to get to Chi 2. That is rediculous. Fortunately it is still beta and these exp numbers will hopefully come down.
For the record, anyone doing the math can figure that Chi 10 of the example spell above would take nearly 7 days of straight casting if the xp rate is the same for all levels (unlikely).
All of that said, I still like the game. I find several aspects of it interesting and the combat is okay for the most part. What I like the most is that it is challenging.
The skill part I agree with, especially for one particular skill, protection. Most of them you can use a lot or keep active to train, the only way to train protection though is to drop a weight on the key and occasionally click the med (btw in case any reader hasn't noticed protection casting damages your weapons, both primary and secondary can be destroyed if you try AFKing this one). You can't train targeted skills (buffs) like this though, even self targeting it just flashes until some action (clicking) is taken.
As you point out most games do have the grind aspect to them, but I've seen an absurd amount of complaints about certain games (as in the region they come from) and even outright lies (like Mr hundreds of bulls and monkeys quests). Some people just want glorified chatrooms they can parade around in with max chars they made in a week... weak.
::gets out his Cane of the Grumpy Old Man and starts wailing on a few noggins::
If you make a max char in this game then you've actually accomplished something, something that took time and dedication. Unfortunately many of today's role models seem to glorify cheating and shortcuts over actual work.

This game is dead enyway......
got this from a letter from them
To make a long story of my saturday, I killed 100-300 red ladys in mount yamno, moved to zhang something, killed 100-300 shadow thiefs, moved to kill 100-300 madmans, next were the 100-300 tarantulas, graduated to killing 100-300 redfoxs, but I still wasnt done, so I grinded about 100-300 bears. The bear spot was frustrating, there was 4-5 asian grinders around for about 8bears.
I was 39 about to ding 40 and logged in tonight only to find that the game was no more, fuelling my theory that this game had no substance whatsoever and the only content was grinding. I never got to pvp which I could do at lvl 10 in WoW. I never seen any raids/instances which I could in WoW from 10 to 60. I only visited 2 zones which I only grinded in. The same quest rate, 1 sometime 2 per lvl.I know its still a beta but the game is nothing more than a straight road (literally) with higher lvl mobs to kill on the way to the next zone. Again in other games I had multiple zones to lvl in, I had the choice to grind to lvl and do other things as well, in some crafting, questing in others, pvping rarely. All In all, im not surprised to see the company Persistant Worlds go down. It serves them right for trying to profit off such a bad product/service.
Death to the crooks.
