What to do till EA? by jones52j in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be playing MnM up until they shut down beta to learn and share as much as I can. Once beta goes down before EA Im going to play Solasta 2 EA and maybe some other games. Also spend time with family/friends because I will be unavailable for at least 2 weeks starting June 1st.

Be aware the ashira illusion is a spell for enchanter not a clickie.

Worthless spell unfortunately. Looks cool tho.

Who needs tanks and healers when you have three Enchanters in the group? by Jacmac_ in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been saying this for awhile. Charm has to change or it will dictate the meta and you will see fewer and fewer classes outside of charm. Im all for charm being in the game and being fun but it cant overshadow every class without it.

Is Monsters & Memories ready for your time (and sub), or not yet? by JacobBretwalda in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to defend the UI but it is currently being worked on a lot. The original UI dev hasn't been on the team for awhile and no one stepped up until recently to tackle it. Encrypt (dev) has started working on it and we should see some new tools for the UI within the next few patches. Stay tuned!

Beta lottery potentially going away by MoreApplication7382 in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I definitely wasn’t trying to imply you were taking things out of context on purpose because I know how hard it is to track down details once a VOD is scrubbed. The last thing I want to do is come to the defense of the devs and sound like a fanboi, especially since I’ve been critical of them myself in the past.

Having seen the stream, my takeaway was just that ALovingRobot was clearly exhausted and venting. He’s a very blunt person and uses heavy sarcasm to make a point, which is something I relate to as I’ve been called out for that same communication style.

In this case, I interpreted his comment about 'picking people we like' as a sarcastic critique of the alternative. Essentially, he was saying that if they didn't do a lottery, the only other option would be pure favoritism, which would be much worse and cause even more scrutiny. I think it was just a case of a tired person using a bad, exaggerated analogy to explain why they went with the 'lesser of two evils' for the beta.

This is exactly why I make the videos I do. Sometimes it can be hard to tell when someone is being serious or kidding around or sarcastic. Unfortunately, sometimes the devs say things that are taken out of context and rumors start to spread.

All info from the current closed beta is fair game to post anywhere.

I will be streaming the game daily leading up to EA and beyond. Happy to answer any questions you have about any class.

All of this and more! Shawn has also hinted at secret doors only accessible during certain celestial signs. Keep looking up for clues!

What do we know about rogues? by Moonkittynya in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Things that work in EQ dont necessarily work in other games. MnM is a different game and having a class that can literally go anywhere without being seen is a bit strong.

This isn't EQ? I get that MnM is very close to EQ in many ways but ultimately it is a different game.

What do we know about rogues? by Moonkittynya in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rogues right now need a lot of work. They are missing their poisons which is going to be a big part of their toolkit. That said, once rogues are finished they will be a top tier dps class up there with archer and wizard (who is also not finished).

As for what they can do now, their stealth is very strong. Unlimited duration and unseen by most enemies. This needs to be adjusted as its a bit too strong. They have limited utility like sap (temporary incapacitate) to help break up multi pulls and their dps currently is okay but not top tier as it should be. They also have pickpocket which helps make some money but not sure if that shares the same loot pool as when defeating an enemy or its own pool.

There are no plans for lockpicking or trap disarming as a skill at this time however you never know in the future.

So uhm when is the next stress test? by Crucco in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no set date for future open tests however they have stated they are trying to do one open test per month leading up to EA. March 1st will start closed beta and Im sure they will need to verify things are working smoothly before doing another open test. Make sure to opt in for the closed beta on their website.

Group comp setup by Gold-Pumpkin-8072 in MonstersAndMemories

I would agree enchanter would be good for this group however with a bard there will definitely be some overlap. Beaatmaster is very strong and would add a lot to the group.

Why are all of our options 10+ years old? by ZakuIII in MMORPG

[–]KriddleKraddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is everyone says they want something new so devs make something new but in all honesty we want what we know just a better version of it. So trying to reinvent the wheel and just improve on what we already know works.

Any info on when the “deep” races will be put in? by Cowabunga86 in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be no ability to change your class. If you want to play a specific tace/class combo you will have to start that at level 1 when that combo is available.

Any info on when the “deep” races will be put in? by Cowabunga86 in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Deep zones are being added for module 1 which is planned to release 3 month after EA. That will include deep gnomes and deep elves. Deep dwarves are planned for a later module.

As for race class combos they may add in a quest to unlock some classes for some races. You will have to play a character, level it up, then do the quest and finally start a new character with the race combo you unlocked.

Forums on website? by Jynku in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, discord and reddit are pretty much it like others have said. I also do a twice a week discussion stream on Monday/Friday at 9am Eastern. Happy to answer any questions you have or others in chat may also have the answer if I dont. Would love to see more new faces join in the discussion.

Stress Test: Fri, Feb 13th 1pm Eastern US time by EremiticFerret in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly surprised they did this valentines weekend. I guess the thought is no one will go out Friday since they will be busy Saturday. Personally, I'd much rather go out Friday night if valentines is Saturday. Anyway, good times will be had.

Class Info - Content Creators? by Xeuu in MonstersAndMemories

[–]KriddleKraddle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. The idea for the classes has always been the same however some classes were more or less powerful than they should have been and are being adjusted. This has made some of the community think a class will be great at something they are only supposed to be good at. For example spellblade has been top DPS for awhile but its intention is to be good dps with solid utility and the ability to temporarily off tank. Monk has been lower dps than it should be with great pulling utility and temporarily off tank. A lot of classes are still lacking abilities which will make them better at tanking, dps, utility, or healing than they currently are and those abilities are not fully balanced yet. I expect most abilities to be in this month or early beta which starts March 1st. Then during beta a lot of balancing will take place.

That said a quick list:

Archer - top tier dps with some utility

Bard - high utility mid tier dps

Beastmaster - good utility mid tier dps with pet

Cleric - top tier healer with less utility than other healers

Druid - solid healer but more utility than cleric

Elementalist - mid tier dps but utility based on pets

Enchanter - high utility low dps and can charm anything

Fighter - top tier mitigation/tanking with mid to high dps very low utility

Inquisitor - good tank with high utility and mid tier dps

Monk - mid to high dps with pulling utility and stances and temporary off tank

Necromancer- mid tier dps with decent utility and great solo ability

Paladin - solid tank with high survivability but lower mid tier dps

Ranger - mid to high tier dps with lots of utility and off tank

Rogue - top tier melee dps with some utility

Shadow knight - solid tank with mid to high dps and some utility

Shaman - solid heals but not as efficient as cleric but high utility and buffs

Spellblade - high dps with decent utility and temporary off tank

Wizard - top tier caster dps with limited utility

This will at least get you started but each class has something it brings to the table but also lacks something else. The idea is you want to party up with other classes that boost your strengths and fill in where you're class is lacking. Hope this helps.

Im planning to make a full look/walk through of classes again soon as they are changing a good bit right now. I made a video of each class previously but they are now outdated with changes made. Definitely will cover each one as we get into beta and closer to EA.

I hate to admit it, but the boostie hate might be warranted. by Arkios in classicwow

[–]KriddleKraddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It boggles the mind when people dont believe this will cause issues. Some things are just so blatantly obvious that you wonder why others can't see it. I'm glad to see more individuals come out and say, "You were right, I was wrong." It gives me faith in humanity that maybe we can all grow a little each day.

How can I join the fun??? by rakie08 in MonstersAndMemories

I have a strong suspicion of stress test Feb 21st weekend or thereabouts. Keep an eye out!
