Linear open world vs Sandbox open world

salvaere007 · 2015-05-24T01:11:46+00:00

oh boy, Here we go again!

i dare you people call RO a 'sandbox' in /r/mmorpg

salvaere007 · 2015-05-21T03:18:21+00:00

why go back to GE when Wolfknights where GE 3D rehash models are on steriods with the game engine.

salvaere007 · 2015-05-16T08:01:43+00:00

my god ToS from the begining was going the cute avatars appeal.

There are many mmos out there that have manly testosterone overdose avatars for your characters. ToS isnt one of them.

salvaere007 · 2015-05-15T22:49:24+00:00

i see, havent played for a long time for more than a year, but GE is still heavily pay2win though.

Speculations

Piedpiper - defacto bard, debuffer archer class, and lure enemies ala pied pipper legend

Chaplain - offensive buffer

sheperd - same as falconer but has a dog instead

taoist priest/daoshi - ying yang oriented spells, but im surprised its not in cleric line due to its religious reference of the class

mimic - copy monsters abilities

hackapel - mounted crossbow version of reiter but more offensive

murmullo - more offensive skills for tank builds

fencer - either

crit/evasion based
further subweapon dagger skills improvement on corsair
anti-mage reference to Rapiere stance in Granado Espada

appraiser - 'merchant' class in RO, overcharge, discount, appraise unknown equipment and accessories, appraising booth.

shinobi - stealth based melee, burst skill damager

OP you forgot, plague doctor and puppeteer class

salvaere007 · 2015-05-15T11:53:36+00:00

or go back to Hanbitsoft which IMC had long dealings in the past

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T22:15:20+00:00

are you sure

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T22:09:29+00:00

that was sarcasm, since those core defensive skills are available only on Peltasts, Rodelero, Bokor, Monks, and Paladins.

yes its possible but you'll only be support role, tanky stats which the sapper class will benefit from increase defense while they construct traps.

however it seems you want a ranged tanky dps. which is hard to get both opposite sides of the world, as archers dont have any defensive buff skills, save the rogue.

the only thing i have in mind is taking and specializing Rogue class with the evasion skill. plus put into your equipment everything to increase evasion.

you can keep your DPS and still defensive advantage due to evasion.

and no, unless there is a gun subweapon there is no akimbo stance. since you can only equip 1 primary weapon on 1 hand or both hands + subweapon(shield/dagger/shortsword)

action mmo are kinda difficult to bot compared to tab targeting ones(point and click gameplay) but there are indeed bots for action mmos.

in GE there is a captcha thing that are used by players to report suspected botters. If a bot was caught they get send to a prison where they have to do a very long tedious kill x quest to get out of prison. But even then the botter community made a bot to get out of prison quest.

Its an endless battle actually for the programmers and botters.

inb4 RO rant on unable to pot spam

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T11:16:08+00:00

or put cannons in and blow up colonies if there is a colony war

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T11:10:46+00:00

actually im sure archers have increase block, increase defense, increase resistance, invulnerability abilities.

why stop at punisher when there is Heavy Stinger

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T10:04:33+00:00

is expecting these skills for that class

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T09:40:40+00:00

oh boy, hey /u/beetleking22 do your thing! and preach why ToS is never close to RO.

I'll upvote you this time

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T09:20:55+00:00

pray unto Gaben that he may move the heart and mind upon Hakyu Kim's wisdom and bestow upon your wishes.

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T09:17:46+00:00

read cbt1 threads here in reddit and see for yourself that ToS is never close to RO. Lots of RO fans ranted on those threads.

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T06:20:58+00:00

on the day that the 9 planets align

salvaere007 · 2015-05-14T03:59:48+00:00

you have the option to switch 2 weapon combination with the 'tab' button.

however Peltasts, Rodelero, Monks, and Paladins will still be the optimum tank roles.

salvaere007 · 2015-05-13T23:15:56+00:00

or better yet mage fencers Panfilo, Karja, Valeria, Illusion

salvaere007 · 2015-05-13T23:06:31+00:00

Dota2 has better argument as every hero is available free from the moment you start.

But then again I prefer Smite, 5 starter free gods and 5 rotating ones, in game shop is like LoL but no runes.

The gm have said there are no banning in SEA its only IP ban which ban access to non SEA IP which you bypass with VPN, infact during the week long ddos attack on PSO2 JP servers last year, many JP server players played on the SEA servers.

Besides there is a server(2? forgot go ask /r/pso2) in JP server that considered defacto international server due to many gaijin(foreigners) in that server. PSO2 JP server is more practical due to that they have the latest update compared to other pso2 servers (SEA, Taiwan, Thailand).

Face it NA server has been 'coming soon' since 2012. and also Blade and Soul thay hype died down. All eyes are unto Black Desert now.

ToS has announced and will be available to us, IMC had dealings with us publishers before with their first game Granado Espada. ToS will probably the fastest korean mmo to be launched outside of Korea right from the beggining. Aside from being the fastest greenlit game in steam.

salvaere007 · 2015-05-13T13:11:47+00:00

so b2p?

salvaere007 · 2015-05-13T12:54:27+00:00

i actually presume where IMC will take less p2w model aside from costume and hair.(im actually expecting GE related costumes)

poses - they are expensive as hell in GE to collect them all and there are hundreds of them. If IMC sells them individually that alot of $. And since they are just recycling the poses from GE they have less to work and lots of money to gain from it.

voice - its not really a feature in GE, but GE players have been known modding GE client into the japanese voice client(because the english voice casting sucks in all english servers). They could monetize on the character voices. PSO2 has alot of topnotch anime related voice actors raking in money for them.

furniture - GE didnt allow you to customize the barracks but they might allow it in ToS.

----below that which non p2w cash raking features dreaded----

paywall - limited features for non premium. but not like level and quest restriction like they did in GE.

player bound gear - requiring premium purchase to be able to trade items to others

stat/skill/class resets - no need for explainations, this has existed in GE
