Don't forget the Graphics and Gameplay. You CANNOT forget the Graphics and Gameplay. I think my 2-year-old neice could make a better game...

For starters, it has maybe at very most 10,000 "followers" of the game, all of which gotta be f**kin morons or are from other countries and just happen to speak english fairly well. As of the writing of this post, they have 1669 members signed up on their forums. There is simply no way for this game to survive here. RYL says they offer you real-time combat instead of "turn based" like other MMOs. This is "false advertising" of their game to say the least. Real-time combat's extent is holding down the left mouse button to mindlessly swing away your weapon, which is the equivalent of clicking on the mob and letting the damn game do all the work for you. Every now and then, about the equivalent of once a battle, you throw in your "special move" using right-click. This same exact click is used whether your in click and wait combat or hold and bore combat. Well this wouldn't be a problem if you actually had some f**king skills to use in this thing they label a game. I think Super Mario Bros. 3 had as many skills (shoot fireballs, racoon tail, star, etc.) as each class has in this pathetic game. Specializing in all of your skills at low levels is something only a moron would do. Before level 10, you have a wonderful selection of 4 abilities to choose from (Demon Combatant, but if you look at both races they are basically f**kin copies of each other, to a way worse extent than L2). These choices encompass, your 1 right click attack, 2 different "wpn spec skills" (this technically means 1 less ability) and a defense buff I am only level 44, but it is quite obvious nothing changes in this game at higher levels. The only difference is going to be is you may have 2 or 3 skills instead to right-click to your heart's contetnt, or until your skill is available again. Once you hit level 10, you now have every skill available to you for the rest of your career, as far as I know. You get 5 or so abilities depending on your class. As an Attacker you get 1 skill that is exactly the same as a Templar, which DOES NOT require any skill "points". On top of this, Attackers get another skill, very similar to the Templar's skill, that DOES NOT require any skill "points" as well. Basically, you are given two skills you cannot improve, thus reducing the grand total of abilities down to 3. Two of the three abilities are attacks, and speccing in two different attack skills is retarded until you can "max out" your current ability. This game has less customization than Diablo 2, DAoC, Ragnarok Online, et cetera. Gaining skill is pretty retarded along with a lot of this game. They use a system JUST LIKE DIABLO I. You get the skill scroll that you need and right click to gain in your skill as long as you have enough "room" AND you meet the stat requirements. You get "2" stat points to use, but after a certain point it takes 2 points to increase your stats by one, which is EXTREMELY LOW. This means that for most of the game you are only really getting 1 skill point. Demons have to wait till lvl 10 to get stat points, and change class. When you change class, you also get stats automatically upped, depending on you class. Changing class is one of the few cool things in this game, unlike any other MMO I've played. I really can't describe it, but one of the few things they have done right. Class also determines what automatic stats will go up, and this contributes to unbalanced classes. Certain classes, such as Attacker, are completely worthless when compared to Templars, due to the retarded system of the game. Templars can compete dmg wise with Attackers, yet have VASTLY superior defense and hps. This is due to the retarded system of stats/items they implemented in their designed of this game. They decided to implement some gay system, where the race with less players gets an xp bonus and in the PvP areas, they also get a level bonus. The other race gets penalties to xp and a penalty to level in PvP. This is their solution to keeping the races balanced it seems, but is pretty bad considering all the classes are fairly the same to begin with between races... The only good part about this game is leveling isn't too bad due to fairly low downtime.

Well... about the hackers... they have Nprotect... OB is a new door... things may change when more and more people come in... and also... What if you were a admin?? how much work would you have in trying to fix things?? And you may be right about hackers... they would get pass Nprotect... but its hard work for them to do that when a hack protection is on game unless if they change the code of Nprotect.

Now.. what you said about the 10,000 followers in this game was very herendous... I cant believe you would say about real human beings... Right here... in these forums... We're human beings... I hate to say that but its just unreal of what you said about the people in this game (I had to be serious there :P) and also.. I dont mind about your swearing.. but its just as bad when theres people involved.

Dude... There is real-time combat... left click is to attack with your equipped weapon and your right click uses your selected spell or special attack... that was not false advertisement... they were probably getting ready for Open beta. Oh yes.. notice.. when you hit the "ESC" button it switches to mouse and keyboard, or just regular mouse.

I agree with what you said here... the skills in this game is scarce.... but there is some skills that humans use from 1st class-2nd class... I got a warrior that has level 5 Sword attack rate passive skill. it gives more attack power.. which is pretty good for when you become a warrior... warriors is a attacking class... defenders raise everyone's defense... theres alot more skills then you think... parties help you level more...

Ok... Diablo I was a good game.. but IS this game diablo i? I dont think so... so why bring it up? I know its a great excuse to bash this game so much... We dont like to hear about those old as hell games... please give a simple opinion about the skill system instead of mentioning those games that we use to love and play.

I agree with you... try some of the other class.
Ok... if you have any opinions about what i have said today... talk to ME...
Now... open beta has started yesterday... try other classes.... if you got a class you like... stick with it.. please... make a final review of it instead of making a post like this... I didn't like the swearing in it... but i like the way you actually made your feeling about the game... please... control your anger next time and make a post where everyone understands most of it.
I'm tired of these mmorpg with stupid landscapes, stupid characters, and basicly no character for a game at all. What makes an mmorpg good? Good PVP, good RVR, Cool character Design, Good maps, good grafix. Maybie these guys should think about the game they are making before they make it.
I agree with you.. they should make the game more detailed and fun... but.. this is only Open beta.. make your final review in the release of this game... Besides we're here to give ideas and opinions.. so the more you suggest a thing that should be added in-game the more the game develops... once the lag is fixed we'd probably get more gameplay instead of hitting blank air :P Which is what most people are doing in this game lol...
I have to admit, even after reading all these posts I still wondered "could it really be that bad".
Answer "YES"
This game, beta or not, is certainly on track with what games of 3-5 years ago would have been aiming for when MMORPGs were a new genre. As of today's standards, it is just plain bad.
The controls and graphics alone don't make for an inviting game. I was turned off within the first couple hours and just could not get past how bad the controls are. The fighting was just plain boring and I just couldn't handle trying it any longer. After being in the L2 and CoH betas, this was certainly a huge dissappointment. Both of those games, while not perfect for me (taste), at least were fairly polished and had quite a bit going for them. This game just has nothing going for it.
In any case, I agree with everyone that has stated "Don't waste your time even trying it."!
Beta'd: Neocron, Planetside, ShadowBane, Horizons, City of Heros, Saga of Ryzom, Lineage II, WoW Stress Test
Played: EQ, Shadowbane, DAoC, SWG, Anarchy Online, Asherson's Call 2. Earth and Beyond, City of Heros, EQ
i TOTALLY agree with the 1st post, language and everything. I have been looking for somthing to hold my time till my next paycheck when i get FFXI(i dont care what whoever says about FFXI, im gonna play it and like it damit! lol) Anywayz, i took about an hour of my time to d/l and install...then another hours on patches....then another 20 min just to log in. Once i finally logged in i thought the game had frozen....to my surprise and horror it turned out to be lag. Yes, that bad. Think AC2 on a pIII 1.6gig with 56k dial-up. I managed to get to lvl4...in about an hour! the lag was so bad i would hit a monster, yet it turned out the monster was really a mile away and had already killed by som1 else....twice. I have a pretty good computer and cable modem and i could barely move in-game.
I'm VERY disapointed with this game, i read all the info about it,(i always try to get an advantage when it comes to new games) and the game sounded like it would be a blast! Unfortunatly all i found was a lag-tastic overly-hyped game with more flaws then i have fingers and toes.
And 1 more thing, WTF is up with the items/custimization system??
1st off : The game guide says all items/weapons/armour etc can be purchased from npc'sall over the world, and/or dropped by monsters.....so...that means no crafting system? come on!
2nd: i decided to be a mage, and game guide says mage needs only wisdom and intelligence,(makes sence) Yet when i went to the store to buy a new staff, i found to my confusion.....i needed DEXTERITY for new staff!?!? Dex is obviously for rogues and archers etc. SO WTF?
Overall the game is a lag demon hell bent on the destruction of our fair genre and must be stopped!
I saw an angel of death come from the clouds one day, it touched my heart and smiled, then flew away, i felt my heart turn black and cold, and embraced this new power that i now hold

I agree... everything I have heard about this game is awful. I have yet to hear from anyone that actually likes it... Let's hope RYL figure this out and a. fix things or b. pull the plug and retire from MMORPG development they would be doing everyone a favor.
Grumpy tonight? I sure am and all these freaking lame ass wanna games that noboday has actually clearly thought out or can find the skill to bring to market are gonna take the brunt of it.
Whew finally managed to read through all the posts, I wanted to get an idea what others thought of this game as well.
I am not going to get into my feelings about this game, as others have shared the same things I have experienced as well.
I just wanted to add something, many gamers, including myself, have seen this all before. Company promises one thing then does 100% complete opposite, doenst care or listen (remember the famous Everquest line "it is working as intended" when everyone, except the developers, knew it was not).
My most recent experience with terrible beta tests turned live game was Anarchy Online, a game which should have been released 1 year AFTER the time they did. It was unplayable at launch and continued to have massive gameplay issues fully 6 months into release. When they nerfed the pistol for the soldier and refused to give us back our spent ability points, many of us left.
It was too bad as well, the game had massive promise. I wonder where this game would have been if they had just taken more care, instead they went for the cash and used live release players as guinea pigs.
I can read the frustration in the posts, and I much like all of you WILL NOT COME BACK TO THIS EVER, no matter who takes over.
I DL'ed the beta client and gave it a try. it was entertaining for about the first ~10 lvls. then I realiazed there were no quests to do, the community pretty much sucked, items were way overpriced, the skills were unimaginative and boring, and classes were still cookie cutter classes but hidden under a faciade of open-endness.
I went back to AC2 with a new love for the game. Its sad that you need to play a game as horrible as RYL to realize that AC2 isn't THAT bad after all.
RYL is worse than the worse and simply cannot compete in the American MMO market. For starters, it has maybe at very most 10,000 "followers" of the game, all of which gotta be f**kin morons or are from other countries and just happen to speak english fairly well. As of the writing of this post, they have 1669 members signed up on their forums. There is simply no way for this game to survive here.
who are you calling a f*cking moron? I am playing this game and loving it. The REAL MORONS BASH A GAME THAT IS STILL IN BETA
RYL has nothing to keep someone playing for a long time.. -the hacks are out of control -mages are overpowered -skills suck -combat sucks -the world is pathetically small == The "Its beta" phrase doesnt work for this game, its been in beta forever with a near non existant dev team that doesnt even post on the forums or have in game messages..
there is no Gm staff that has been noticed.
==
The game wont get better, because its not going anywhere. my guess is the game will either be launched and be vaporware, or get cancelled becuase no one likes it (aside from people to full of themselves to realize the game is not good at all) ==
People have thier own opinions i know, but there is no just means to defend this game. you can NOT justify this game as being good in any way shape of form
Ok. I believe you that the gms and devs aren't that good... but a question to you...
Would it be better if there is better devs and gms making the game? would that change your mind about this game if people that are experienced in the work of making MMORPGs working on this game?
Besides.. I heard that there is going to be a US beta... I think they will do better then malaysia..
considering these things.. -The land is SMALL!! horribly small and boring -mages are overpowered and can kill anything -crap number of quests -huge boring grind -Hack galore (speed hackers)
the game does not feel anything close to a MMORPG. ===========
To tell you the truth i dont expect US beta to be any better
I agree that the land is small but its still in beta and they are developing the landscape while beta testing is still underway...
-mages are overpowered and can kill anything Agree with you in this point but you need to tell the gms what you think... If they dont take it then they are not a good team of devs and gms.
-crap number of quests
How long did it take for EQ to get alot of quests? A long time...
-huge boring grind
Well... if they added more content to grinding.. like sidequests to change class or.... more opportunities for getting to another class.
-Hack galore (speed hackers)
Well... they are still developing the anti-hack system...
Also.. this game is considered a MMORPG because of leveling and charactor developing...
And you never know.. the US beta might be better then malaysia...
I've been tracking the game for a while - and it does get old, rather quickly. I've played to the mid levels, and tested most classes both Human and Ak'han (Demon).
The (possible) good news:
1) North American server appears to be a lot more committed to a quality product - the alpha testers are very impressed.
2) Number of quests in NA Beta has jumped from 10 to 140+
3) Some of the worst speed hacks have apparently been resolved.
4) A guild system is in place for NA beta - don't know much about it yet
5) Character classes are still out of balance - Additional changes are ongoing to improve balance both in early phases (under level 50) and at high level
6) The world is small, but there are 6 maps and potential for many more - we'll see what happens.
The translation should be better on this one, fewer miss-worded quests, and odd name mobs. All in all, it's making progress - but the Malaysian version seemed to be pre-alpha. Frighteningly bad - enough to scare all but the hard core dreamers away. The Lag and hacks have been horrible - and there really is not much to do.
That said, I'm holding out for the NA beta, and will base my judgement on that. To be honest, I've got my fingers crossed, I see potential.
Oh, yeah. I have no association with the game, and have played only half a dozen MMORPG since I got in on the early Asheron's Call, so I'm no expert. Heck, sadly I play Disney's Toontown as much as anything, since I can play it with my 7 year old daughter...

I agree... everything I have heard about this game is awful. I have yet to hear from anyone that actually likes it... Let's hope RYL figure this out and a. fix things or b. pull the plug and retire from MMORPG development they would be doing everyone a favor.
Grumpy tonight? I sure am
and all these freaking lame ass wanna games that noboday has actually clearly thought out or can find the skill to bring to market are gonna take the brunt of it.

Whew finally managed to read through all the posts, I wanted to get an idea what others thought of this game as well.
I am not going to get into my feelings about this game, as others have shared the same things I have experienced as well.
I just wanted to add something, many gamers, including myself, have seen this all before. Company promises one thing then does 100% complete opposite, doenst care or listen (remember the famous Everquest line "it is working as intended" when everyone, except the developers, knew it was not).
My most recent experience with terrible beta tests turned live game was Anarchy Online, a game which should have been released 1 year AFTER the time they did. It was unplayable at launch and continued to have massive gameplay issues fully 6 months into release. When they nerfed the pistol for the soldier and refused to give us back our spent ability points, many of us left.
It was too bad as well, the game had massive promise. I wonder where this game would have been if they had just taken more care, instead they went for the cash and used live release players as guinea pigs.
I can read the frustration in the posts, and I much like all of you WILL NOT COME BACK TO THIS EVER, no matter who takes over.
RYL is dieing, I say, let it die.
My
I DL'ed the beta client and gave it a try. it was entertaining for about the first ~10 lvls. then I realiazed there were no quests to do, the community pretty much sucked, items were way overpriced, the skills were unimaginative and boring, and classes were still cookie cutter classes but hidden under a faciade of open-endness.
I went back to AC2 with a new love for the game. Its sad that you need to play a game as horrible as RYL to realize that AC2 isn't THAT bad after all.
who are you calling a f*cking moron? I am playing this game and loving it. The REAL MORONS BASH A GAME THAT IS STILL IN BETA
RYL has nothing to keep someone playing for a long time..
-the hacks are out of control
-mages are overpowered
-skills suck
-combat sucks
-the world is pathetically small
==
The "Its beta" phrase doesnt work for this game, its been in beta forever with a near non existant dev team that doesnt even post on the forums or have in game messages..
there is no Gm staff that has been noticed.
==
The game wont get better, because its not going anywhere. my guess is the game will either be launched and be vaporware, or get cancelled becuase no one likes it (aside from people to full of themselves to realize the game is not good at all)
==
People have thier own opinions i know, but there is no just means to defend this game. you can NOT justify this game as being good in any way shape of form
(o'.')--------oo----('.'o)

I really though this game would be kick a** but d*mn . . .that sucks . . .
Sometimes I wonder if ppl who make MMORPG games from different countries don't like the americans or somthin like that. . .

RISING DRAGOON ~AION US ONLINE LEGION for Elyos
there is no dev team or Gms to give a break..
-there is little to no comunication..
Sorry but a game like this doesnt deserve a break..
-its bottom end 1/10
Ok. I believe you that the gms and devs aren't that good... but a question to you...
Would it be better if there is better devs and gms making the game? would that change your mind about this game if people that are experienced in the work of making MMORPGs working on this game?
Besides.. I heard that there is going to be a US beta... I think they will do better then malaysia..
Thats all
(o'.')--------oo----('.'o)
(o'.')--------oo----('.'o)
considering these things..
-The land is SMALL!! horribly small and boring
-mages are overpowered and can kill anything
-crap number of quests
-huge boring grind
-Hack galore (speed hackers)
the game does not feel anything close to a MMORPG.
===========
To tell you the truth i dont expect US beta to be any better
-The land is SMALL!! horribly small and boring
I agree that the land is small but its still in beta and they are developing the landscape while beta testing is still underway...
-mages are overpowered and can kill anything
Agree with you in this point but you need to tell the gms what you think... If they dont take it then they are not a good team of devs and gms.
-crap number of quests
How long did it take for EQ to get alot of quests? A long time...
-huge boring grind
Well... if they added more content to grinding.. like sidequests to change class or.... more opportunities for getting to another class.
-Hack galore (speed hackers)
Well... they are still developing the anti-hack system...
Also.. this game is considered a MMORPG because of leveling and charactor developing...
And you never know.. the US beta might be better then malaysia...
(o'.')--------oo----('.'o)
(o'.')--------oo----('.'o)
If you can dig up any solid proof of the "DEVS" adding to the game.. ill believe you, but i doubt you can find it.
and im sure Eq started with more than like 3 quests man probably more than 10!
To be totally honest.. I think the malaysia server sucks texus canoles....
Im just saying that US beta is going ot be better then this crappy malaysia testing...

I've been tracking the game for a while - and it does get old, rather quickly. I've played to the mid levels, and tested most classes both Human and Ak'han (Demon).
The (possible) good news:
1) North American server appears to be a lot more committed to a quality product - the alpha testers are very impressed.
2) Number of quests in NA Beta has jumped from 10 to 140+
3) Some of the worst speed hacks have apparently been resolved.
4) A guild system is in place for NA beta - don't know much about it yet
5) Character classes are still out of balance - Additional changes are ongoing to improve balance both in early phases (under level 50) and at high level
6) The world is small, but there are 6 maps and potential for many more - we'll see what happens.
The translation should be better on this one, fewer miss-worded quests, and odd name mobs. All in all, it's making progress - but the Malaysian version seemed to be pre-alpha. Frighteningly bad - enough to scare all but the hard core dreamers away. The Lag and hacks have been horrible - and there really is not much to do.
That said, I'm holding out for the NA beta, and will base my judgement on that. To be honest, I've got my fingers crossed, I see potential.
Oh, yeah. I have no association with the game, and have played only half a dozen MMORPG since I got in on the early Asheron's Call, so I'm no expert. Heck, sadly I play Disney's Toontown as much as anything, since I can play it with my 7 year old daughter...
Good post. I have been waiting to get at this game for wasting my freaking time!!!!!
It freaking sucksssssssssss!!!!!!!!
