Spent a couple of hours last night playing with a few friends, it's going to be a great game, I am glad that it seems to be very stable and it looks very pretty too. when the dev implements everything on his checklist, it'll be a wonderful game, can't wait for pvp arenas. I know he doesn't want to turn it into minecraft, but the option to have a pvp server with 'teams' building your own fort then attacking each other would be awesome, or some sort of castle siege mod. anyway great game, not much to do for now but i'm very impressed with the stability and quality of the product, did not feel like an alpha to me.

Combat is incredibly smooth and action oriented; quick reflexes and a good sense of timing are absolutely vital to surviving combat with anything stronger than a chicken. You have a dodge roll move. This is your best friend, learn to love it and it will love you.

Server admins, some guy on Reddit has made an auto-server-starter for crashing servers: http://www.reddit.com/r/CubeWorld/comments/1ho4ez/i_was_bored_so_i_made_an_automatic_server_restart/ No clue if it works properly on Windows 7 as the guy seems to have made it for Windows 8 but worth a shot if you are having crash issues.

Someone was asking about Portals a few pages back. They're in. They don't teleport you somewhere randomly. They bring up the map interface, feels like you'll be able to zip back to any previously discovered portal. Happy to have found one, travelling from one "zone" to another takes AWHILE.

I'm going to freak out (in a good way) if the building system is fleshed out and server admins can set open PvP and looting. Helloooo anime minecraft action combat ultima online. The fact that the developer (like most game developers) come off as someone who has their own special *~Vision~* for the game and probably won't allow a lot of player modification is kind of a huge buzzkill though. I'm sure there's not a small amount of people who want to take all the anime/JRPG influences from this game and completely forcibly remove them. E: Yeah this pretty much seems like here's a co-op JRPG with action combat and massive servers won't ever be implemented. Which makes sense since from a technical perspective it's extremely difficult for vvv  vvv

Actually if you look at the bottom of the features page you'll note that he does plan to test out a massively-multiplayer server architecture once the rest of the game is finished, so if all goes well you may indeed get your minecraft action combat ultima online.

I played a warrior for six or seven levels and I didn't get this. The roll is useless on most enemies (that attack way too quickly to make dodging worthwhile- the one with rogue attacks) but it's still moderately useful on slower enemies. As a warrior, it feels like there isn't enough you can do to really edge combat in your favor. You can block, but only for about half a second, with a shield (or somewhat as a guardian with any weapon) Wizard has been exactly as you said so far, though. As a warrior I absolutely had to heal after every fight, but I went the first four levels as wizard without healing at all, just dodging/shooting and not getting hit. It's been a lot more fun. So I hope I'm either missing something as warrior, or they go and improve it a bit.

It definitely has the whole single-player MMO design aesthetic going on pretty strongly. Which is fine for the most part, I don't mind the gigantic world and the slow scale of progression. I just wish this game had enemy scaling like Diablo because at this point it is just so tedious to fight your way through dungeons and bosses have so much hp that I just avoid them entirely and miss out on a large part of the game.

Yeah, agreed. The dungeons are a mess, made messier by the fact that the difficulty seems completely random - as in, not dependent on your own level or your distance from the starting area. However, I suspect they're not balanced for a single person. My guess is that everything is balanced for four people.

Warriors are pretty bland yeah. I'd recommend you play one of the other classes. Where Warriors really shine is in multiplayer though; a good well equipped guardian can tank a boss all day while the rogues, rangers and mages dance around laying down the pain. And yes; the game is currently set up for 4 player co-op. Dungeons especially pretty much need 4 players, as do bosses. With a bit of grinding and quick reflexes you can take out weaker bosses on your own but it takes loving forever. I imagine the game's balance will improve with time; frankly I'm surprised it's as balanced as it is and not completely broken to poo poo.

Yeah. I suppose the lack of balance only surprises me because the rest of it is so shockingly stable. Besides people having trouble with their multiplayer server crashing (which I haven't experienced, yet) the game itself is rock solid. I figured by now I'd fall through the ground or get trapped in something, but it hasn't happened. In any case, I'm really looking forward to see where the game goes, because it has had a really solid start.

I hope he decides to take a second look at balance for single-player instead of deciding that it's all part of his VISION like Notch and just leaving it broken. Because at this point, what's even the point of single-player worlds, if all the high level and even some of the low and mid level content is locked out by tedium.

Actually apart from the dungeons the game runs totally fine in SP and considering the dungeons are probably the least developed part of the game at the moment it's not really surprising that they don't work too well (they need a lot of tweaking). The random roaming bosses are perfectly doable solo when you're at a similar power level to them (their names are white or blue) and you can even kill some of the orange ones solo if you get lucky. It's mostly just the dungeons that are murder without friends. The only thing you can't reliably get in singleplayer is platinum which can only be gotten by completing missions and at the moment the only mission is 'kill the boss of this dungeon'. Once the quest system is properly implimented and dungeons are tweaked it should be fine in SP. That's not to say it's perfect as-is; there are a lot of rough edges especially with the power levels of monsters and where they spawn (spawning power ~100 ogres right outside town is probably not intentional) and some types of monsters are substantially more powerful than other types (skeletons are apparently made of some kind of titanium alloy judging by how much punishment they can take before they go down), but given how unfinished it is I'm frankly amazed it's as solid as it is.

Oh yeah, Wizards with their loving undodgable life-drain lazers. If you see a group of hostile Witches or Wizards just leave them the gently caress alone; they'll lazer your face off and there's nothing you can do about it. Even a single Witch or Wizard can melt you pretty fast if they decide to pull their laser out. Apart from the lasers though I find spellcasters to be the easiest type of humanoids to deal with; even the ones using staves that create elemental tornadoes can be dodged quite easily once you work out the timing properly and can recognise the difference between the small tornado and the big one (as they have different dodge timings).

Re; Witches and Wizards and their murderbeam, if it's two or one of them just expend your stamina bar rolling and only the last tick will hit you. If it's three of them this'll probably kill you at most levels, but you can survive one tick of two beams (especially as a water mage). It has a pretty long cooldown so if you're anywhere near well geared you can just mop them up after that.

You can block, but only for about half a second, with a shield (or somewhat as a guardian with any weapon) Warriors are bad. They're hands down the worst class by a wide margin. Ninjas are the best tanks, while also doing a lot of damage and Water Wizards are the second best tanks while also healing for a lot and doing damage. Fire Wizards are the 3rd best tanks (Mana Shield is really good). To make Warriors viable they'd need their block durations extended by a factor of 3 at the very least, as well as being given a better passive on both subclasses. A taunt skill would be nice too, but isn't as important because they need to be viable solo as well.

About the blocking being increased by a factor of three: Yes, I was thinking the same thing, but I wasn't sure if I was just missing the point- sometimes blocking gave me MP, and at least once it took MP away and/or put it into the negatives (at least, the bar went left of its designated area.) Playing a wizard now and it's a totally different experience, even solo.

Was using bracelets, am now using staff and doing better, but bosses still take a few minutes (~8-10) The rain forest biome is the first biome immediately out of the starter one on Heran's server. I don't know if he can find out the seed for that map. I found an ice biome immediately out of the starter on my SP map. E: Heran's seed is 90210. Go NW from the starter.

Cerevisiae posted:Is there a specific trick to bosses as a ninja? I just got decimated by a Human +1 Ranger boss with a boomerang. The Ninja passive is that they dodge all attacks while using their special attacks and gain MP and their next special attack is guaranteed to crit whenever they dodge an attack (either through their passive or a dodge roll) so playing a Ninja is all about learning the enemy attack queues and timing your special attacks so that you dodge all their poo poo. A good Ninja can solo certain types of bosses and take literally zero damage because it's all dodged and turned into even more damage. With that said; Boomerangs are one of the weapons that Ninjas cannot negate entirely; any boomerang equipped enemy will be a pain in the rear end for Ninjas because they rely on their timed dodges and boomerangs just sit on you and whack you tons of times for a little bit of damage each time and thus cannot be completely dodged like say a Greatclub can. Ninjas are basically unhittable blenders, but they walk a really fine line of survivability. Mess up your timings and you can get flattened right quick.

Which is really why I think Ninjas are in a good place when it comes to tanking. It'd be pretty great if Ninjas stayed the way they are now, with good tanking which is entirely player skill dependant, and the Warrior got buffed to where he's maybe slightly less good at tanking, but it's a tanking that is much easier to use. Of course both Warrior types need a giant damage buff too. And hopefully a remake of one of each of the subclasses. Every single class has a subclass with the same "each attack makes the next faster" passive, which seems really drat lazy design.

Oh yeah I think Ninjas are great as-is. Their dodge mechanic makes fighting as one incredibly dynamic and fun. Warriors definitely need a big boost though; they're way too weak right now.

Fire mage gets instant and free spell casts on %-chance per attack/cast. But yeah, pretty generic in between. Now I'm regretting my getting my mage to 12, as much as I enjoyed it.

Haven't fought that many boomerang mobs either, and those that I did were all in hectic mass fights, so I don't have a great grasp on how they work. Most of the time ninjas kill bosses the same way they kill everything else: by staying up in their face and remaining invincible as Neruz describes. If I had to guess at how to deal with boomerangs, though, I'd say you may want to try roll-dodging them, because the boomerangs I've had thrown at me tended to stick around a little too long for the special attack dodge to handle. As a ninja, even regular dodges cause mana generation and the guaranteed-critical condition, so I'd try to save up for 100-mana special attacks to keep the boss stunned as much as possible. As I said though, this is just conjecture, so I'm sorry if it gets you killed.

Yeesh this game's tuning needs a lot of work. I cheatedengine'd myself half a million XP and I still only ended up at "power" 97. At level 2000 something finally get 100 power. Skill points don't mean much beyond 5 or so and equipment means everything. Naked level 2000 mage is helpless and even with the highest powered wand you're only cranking 60 damage. Be nice to try this game again when it's fine tuned and fleshed out. G.I.Jebus fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Jul 5, 2013 |
