Rave? Rant? -
12-06-2008
Well i guess it's too late to Rave anymore, but the game still got me hooked =F Combined with some "Rants" the game still is above normal games, close to good =) It has nice weapons, different damage types that really matter too, not like "aargh... i shoot you with fire... 100 damage.. i shoot you with ice... 90 damage... conclusion, resist fire?" some damage does basically no damage at all, which is good imho. The rant about htis one is that if different mobs are together you die pretty fast. Back to Raves then =D it has nice instances, where i "accidentaly" soloed a instance where people toldm e its unsoloable... well yeah i died like 30 times =D
Graphics are nice. Tech and Nature combined, so to say. Not too colorful (which is good, because i mean like Happy Happy colors like in WoW), It has different variations of weaps, different random options, crafting (which i still don't really understand o.O; ) Skill points/trees and attribute points, well that's typical mmo stuffi guess... one thing that i was nicely suprised was the "town portal" things, because nowadays mmo's don't have those... they have "back to town" things.. not "back to town, sell crap and come back". Those are for instances only tho, at least so it seems. One more new thing was a Capture The Flag system, where are some fortresses randomly overtaken by enemies and you have to fend them off, you can respawn right there (10 meters away) and try again, which gave me quite the adrenaline boost =D, combined with another rave is npc's "randomly" patrolling the area... so if you can't just go and kill all mobs all by yourself, and don't really want to party, you can just wait for some npc's to come by and go with them. Those npc's help by the capture the flag too. The rant on this one is, when you're low level and just stay at the fortress to shop or quest and they attack... you're kind of screwed and it takes quite some time until some "bigger" npc's come and take the fortress back. Another rant, sadly is that some mobs hit you really hard... my record of dying was 2 seconds... xD randomly wandering around... i saw some bad guys (3 or Less), and then i was dead... usually i see how my shield/hp goes down.. then i didn't... another rant is that fleeing is kind of pointless... so if you messed up a "sneak attack" you're dead anyway =/ Still, it's a nice game when you want to shoot something up and when partying at least with one more d00d you can more or less take on anything =D well if you have the right weapons ofc =) different range and type of damage and firing rate are sort of the key i'd say the game is 6/10 points... where 7 is good =)
