Guys are you enjoying the beta? Hows the battle system?

Is social a big part of the game or is everyone running around doing there own thing WoW style?


oops! sorry for the late reply. so far on the first day it seems like its a large stress test. the server seems to be holding up fine, and there is a lot of people in this beta. it can be a little hectic killing monsters because 5000 other people is most likely doing the samething you are doing lol.

I can't really comment on the battle system because we're not using all its features yet, and they'll most likely change it completey depending on the feedback SE get back. We're still limited by level, and no access to limit breaks yet. combat is speedy though in low level content thats for sure.

I like it, the game has potential

Thanks for the reply deskpro2k3!

Hmm do you really think they will change the enitire batlle system this late though? However my question was more about the style of combat. Is it WoW style? Select target and choose skills. Or is there aiming involved similar to TERA? 

 

I hope theres a bit social part to the game. Part og getting that right is by making it free to play...not sure if this will still be sub based once fully released again.

 

 

The style of combat is similar like how you engage an enemy in FF12 with a threat line briefly indicating who is attacking who. Monsters can call for help and team up on you if you're fighting with a group, and you can chain kill for more exp. There are skill combos that grants you bonus effects when you do them properly so I guess its kind of like FF12/Aion/WoW. Does that answer your question?

Keep in mind, Lv1-12 is more like the tutorial levels, so I didn't get to far with 6-7 hours of playing.

The social part is there, I hear about a 24 member dungeon raid inside the Crystal Tower and stuff.

The PS3 version is 75% optimized,  so I estimate 2-3 more months. lol

*kicks table over*



I had to take a break from the Beta. Even for testing purposes they're taking the game into a direction that I really can't get behind. I feel like a retard following a cursor all day.

You'll get in 100% in phase 3. That is when most of everything will be available to test, and for PS3 testers too. There is a chance you might get in sooner though.
