[AR] Massively Multiplayer online barrel rolling

I'm talking about:
air+rivals+load+screen+1.jpg

Air rivals is a MMORPG with twitched based elements. it pits you in the role of a pilot of one of four different kinds of combat aircraft. it is essentially auto assault/WOW/Starfox 64, and is about as epic as it sounds provided you play it right.

after selecting the type of gear from the four different kinds:

I gear, the fighter and Glasscannony in every aspect.

B gear, the bomber and most balanced.

A-gear, the flying tank and best attacker.

M-gear, the Buffer, debuffer, healer, and Tank all in one. also the slowest grinder.

The grind is pretty fast if you do it right, i'll explain in more detail later.


anyway, after leveling to eleven, about half an hour of work, you get to choose which nation you want to fly for. this factors into the PVP system later in the game.

oh, and the game is completely free. not a cent needs to be spent to be competent.

why am I telling you about this?

1. I am a greedy bastard and get an EXP bonus for signing you on as friends. (you do too)
2. The idiots that inhabit the game need to be taught a proper lesson.
3. The game is actually pretty fun.

so how do i get involved?

well, that's pretty simple. once you register at The official website, download the client, and patch to the latest version, you must

1. Select the "Orion" server. (the larger server, "helix", does not always allow registration)
2. Once you have leveled up to level eleven, take the mission and chose the ANI side.

Why the ANI side? because ANI has, in general, a better and more even grind than BCU, and it has herremeze relic site, which is the best grinding map in the game. there are usually less idiots on ANI, as well.

3. I've set up a brigade (Read: guild) that has a pretty obvious name. if you still can't find it, my in game name is "thebdoctor."

4. Profit from increased EXP and a spiffy tag over your name ingame.

If you still aren't convinced, here's a video showing how awesome the game is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp7PjjBcvgc&feature=channel

better OP when i have the time. if you have any questions about the game mechanics, post here or PM me.

    One of those fuel planes, only it's healing fuel.

    Though you'd probably be better off repairing a plane.

    Not going to lie, that game looks pretty bad... also it looks like there are a billion little planes everywhere, you can't even see anything except for jumbles of text

    It got kind of fun when you weren't on a Kill 50 of these things quest.

    Basically, it was never very interesting.

    The correct reason to join ANI is because that's the side the Goons are on.

    And that is the only reason.

    I actually had a lot of fun with this up until it took me 3 hours to almost maybe think about sort of leveling up... at level 18.

    And apparently if you want to really have fun you have to be like level 60

    I was hoping this had something to do with actual barrels, that would have been an interesting RPG!

    But ehh, dogfighting, not my thing.

    Unless it's actual dogs

    So I just saw the video at 1:45 and uh... that's basically just text. Text everywhere. You cannot see anything other than screen-names. Also the frame-rate was pretty terrible - didn't really sell the game to me, I'll be honest!
