It looks like SOLO has both an ingame dps meter and some DBM-like thing built in? Interesting to see but hopefully whatever moderation the game has drops the hammer on people melting down over dps or harassing each other over it etc, because I can see an ingame dps parser making that all too easy.

I'm finally trying RuneScape and I feel that this game would be good if it had like basic quality of life features such as telling you what items you need to gather for your quests via the menu (instead of going back to the quest giver) or markers to where the quest givers are.

Is this modern RS or Old School? Modern has arrows for their newer quests IIRC. I do generally prefer solving quests on my own though, only consulting a guide when I'm really really stuck.

You get a masked panda for doing things in the CBT for SOLO.



So that's cool.

Mesmerizing eyebrows is my specialty

I play a lot of OSRS and the Runelite client is way to go, it even has a quest helper plugin that is very handy. I personally only use the quest helper for the old early 2000s era quests which have some insane design decisions that went into them on occasion. But the more modern quests I play vanilla, so to speak. But either way Runelite is really good and has a lot of nice quality of life improvements, so if you aren't already using it I suggest you give it a try.

The fake handwashing got me and I grabbed it on steam. I thought we were supposed to get friend keys?

I'm feeling a 85% chance I refund after this weekend.

Friend keys is only if you bought the fancy editions from the gameforge website sadly. I didn't want to risk the refund so I got it off steam

The great thing about wuxia mmos is every wuxia mmo is just like every other wuxia mmo except [product name] is totally different this time I swear.

Get your fun where you find it though.

the real fun of a new mmo isn't the game itself, it's the fresh mmo experience + discovering gamebreaking stuff that slipped past the playtesters and getting your fun out of that before the game either finishes getting polished or just outright dies

I pretty rarely buy non-MMOs at launch, opting instead to wait for Steam sales and a few rounds of patches. I miss that joy of diving into a janky launch-day MMO when most people have no idea what they’re doing and poo poo breaks left and right.

Almost 2 hours into SOLO and it's strictly kill 3 things to collect 3 things and bring them to person, or collect 3 things to bring to person.

You do get a flying mount that's a sword you stand on so that's cool.
