CRAPPP:

So probably I won't be able to lead you through beta.

[KAMIKADzE]

Well well well, the CBT is almost near end, and they send me invite:

But the biggest failure is that I received it and wanted to go check how and what, but hey Maintenance -_-

Will write first impressions tomorrow.

So the first bad thing, very laggy currently, everyone is complaining ingame, I hope in OBT it will be normal, cose it ain't funny.
The char creation...hmm you want a lot of chars, here you go, a lot OO really a lot of slots for chars:

Character customization is funny and quite good:



You can look how you gonna look in some sets:

Then goes the intro, it is kinda very long, skipped some parts:


The training can also be skipped.

Dialogs kinda sux, who break words...even your nickname.

Fighting some "training boss":

First "dungeon" (in fact this is town "rescue"):


World map (3 continents only currently):

Inventory is goodly made, quest items and items on one hand with cash items are separated.

Character window, a lot of stats, well check yourself:

Graphic is very good:

Now real dungeon:

Ok so now something about game mechanics, every move is in fact a skill even wasd is skill ))) evading etc etc, skills are divided into 3 groups:
1)Active, the one you should press 1,2... to activate.
2)Combo skills, the one you use wasd+some attack also F, space.
3)Passive
When some skill is used its cooldown appears at a bit higher spot on screen than quickslot bar (check previous screen for example).

Someone sleeping:

Falling from a height will damage you.

Made same dungeon on Normal&Hard, not very harder I'd say, but mb it's only at the beginning.
Boss HP are shown at the screens top center:

You can find something by destroying the environment, enemies, opening chests. Also at the end of the dungeon you receive reward.

There is something like Auction, some crafting skills, different NPC's and blablabla.
Dungeons are lvl-restricted (will make ss later).
Equipment can be damaged and can be repaired in town by blacksmith.
I will post some info later.

So the dungeon map:

Btw you can't go Hard dungeon without completing Normal, etc.

Character pick reminded me Diablo 1 Mage/Fighter/Archer (waiting for my char, but it will be only after OBT or even at opening).

This is the map of the town:

The game seems to be quite easily soloable, but ofc without those lags, RB hits like 1/5 hp per hit.
The music is also worth to mention, quite goodly made.

Don't come close to dungeon NPC's when you fight, -_-
Also there are hidden chests, like in this dungeon:

so don't forget to look around.
When you pass the dungeon there are HP/MP or both regeneration "tower" you can use it once in dungeon.
There is not so many quests for newbies as I expected to see.
The quests are very similar, kill this, bring drop from that monster, complete this dungeon.
The really good thing is that you can knock-down bosses, and do with them whatever you can with every usual mob, this is a big +.
I would love this game if not lags.

Dungeons got secret rooms, found one by hitting the wall, then it opens and you find extra chests and barrels there.

Combo does ends very fast (kinda hard with those lags)+breaks after 1dmg rcvd.

All basic shops are at one place:

I was very surprised to see some difference in quests, got a "escort" quest (def NPC while he move to needed place).

The world really looks good:


What else to say, well at night it's less laggy than it was during day (obv less players).

Just from experience => better to have few skills than one with higher lvl, at least now, casting skills does helps a lot.

First proof quest can be started at 9 lvl.
Also a lot of things that should open by description "double-click" in fact opens via right mouse click.

To establish a guild you need a lot of gold (considering how much drops, but mb it's only on lowbob lvls).
Max number of quests which you can proceed at once - 20, but up until now I haven't reached even 10
You can chat while on loading screen.
That's probably all for now.

And y I have one more thing to say, that I forgot to mention - there is no time limit in dungeons.

Anyway, the first video:

Today is the last day of CBT (VIP).

The game is getting more interesting with higher lvls.
I'll make a new thread for another CBT or OBT.
