[Allods Online] OB ON! We went League on Tensess.
Posts
I went back into wow tonight after being in the Allods world lately I have to say I never really noticed how terrible wow looks, the trees are like textured triangles Allods is quite refreshing visually.

Looks pretty epic.
I wonder if that goes for the Euro servers as well.
Where'd you learn that at?
Over at the Allods(.com) forum I just realised I might be reading this wrong as I don't know if there'll be downtime between CB and OB. I saw the site had changed so I figured the game is gearing up for the public.
Yeah. I figured there would be a little bit of downtime between the two. Maybe a week or two?
I'd be great if it started right after. OB = launch.
(Basically, they're the Russian Blizzard)
Is that gameplay a big part of the game? Is it actually fun? The video showed alot of graphical features, but not much gameplay.
The ships remind me of some of the features certain text based MUD's would include, where you could pilot fully customizable and enterable airships across airspaces and sometimes even the gameworld.
I'd actually be more interested if it was P2P.
Eh, Puzzle Pirates had a decent community to it. I'm not intimate enough with other free MMOs. I usually just bully friends or PAers into playing with me and don't bother with the rest of the players. I assume that at the early levels people won't be social to you, but once they're hooked and start spending money they're gonna try and get more out of the game and will start to interact more with people around their level.
As it stands, the cash shop seems like it is one of the better ones i've seen. It is trying to sell convince instead of selling things you MUST buy.
If paying for a game is something you have a problem with, that's a different story. Look at it this way, you pay into a cash shop the same way you'd pay into a subscription. If you can play and spend less than $15 a month, you're getting a good deal.
You've got to forge a community for yourself. I'm part of one that makes this game awesome.
Speaking of which, does anyone here play on the EU servers?
I'm from Europe, at least. I don't know if I want to play on EU or US servers, US has more PAers, but PAers have the attention span of a little puppy when it comes to MMOs that are not WoW, so I don't know how long a PA guild would even last. Then again, EU servers have absolutely no one playing who I know (well ok, you now).
Is the publisher going to block foreign IPs anyway?
My problem is that I don't like looking for guilds, especially not the dumb names in F2P games, it seems the standards are even lower than in WoW.
I just signed up for beta. Please, please pick me!

I'm definitely going to be a Giberling. Well, Giberlings. I take it seer is the CC class?
Thanks Zand. Also, I'm digging this a lot - I'm just hoping for one thing and I'll be absolutely happy: an option to invert the Y-axis. I haven't played any game, console or otherwise, without the Y inverted in....man, I can't even remember.
No, they pretty much just opened up the game to everyone now. It's still in CBT #4.
I'd pay for a subscription to it.
I especially like how summons differ from race to race.
When I played as the Necron looking guys and got my first summon, I got a robo-scorpion that looked like it came right out of Warhammer 40K. When I played as the Empire humans, I got an undead version of one of their foot soldiers.
There's a surprising level of detail to this game. I'm surprised it's F2P. This seems like the sort of game that should be P2P and retail to me.
Now if only the servers didn't seem so dead. It's probably because it's towards the end of beta, but the city I started off in seems empty to me.
Most people have been playing and have characters a little higher. This phase ends on the 10th.
It really has a staggering level of polish for a F2P MMO. This game is more polished than quite a few AAA titles.
YES!
I actually suggested this at the EU forums! To bad nobody over there cared enough to respond to the thread, and now I can't even find it anymore.
And there we have it, the official open beta date!
I pray its the same for NA.
Steam
My guild is planning on rolling League.
Yeah, I don't really care either way, I played League all Close Beta, I'd just like to play with people.
Steam
In the open beta (Feb. 16th) characters will be kept.
For anyone that is interested in joining up in a friendly league guild, proceed to this location:

Also, feel free to join us on Vent.
I - for one - am going to stick to the EU servers and see if I can find a friendly guild (assuming I even like the game!).
This guild is a revolving door sort of operation. You can come and go as you please, we'll be here regardless.
