Just joined. First Impressions.

Hi, everyone.

I just joined the game, and played a little bit.
First off, let me say that I am impressed with this games graphics. I chose a Dark Elf Sorc, and while I think there should be more character customizations, the overall look of the game is very good.

It's colorful and well drawn. I like the look of my character (although, I wish Dark Elves could be bald and have facial hair) and I like the look of my environment.

I didn't experience any video lag, but I'm not sure if I'm getting lag when I cast my spells. There's usually a delay after I press my button, and I'm not sure if because of lag, or if my avatar is waiting until the next combat round.
I'm thinking it's the latter.

I have a few control suggestions, that I feel are needed to improve this game:

1. Strafing or Side-stepping. Currently, holding my right mouse button will allow me to rotate my camera. I feel that I should strafe (side-step) left and right when I hold my right mouse button and press A or D respectively. Rotating the camera belongs a differant button, perhaps holding down the mousewheel button.

2. Jumping. Are there any plans to let us jump?

3. Enemy Targeting. Currently, my Tab button turns off my User Interface. This button should cycle through my enemies.

Other than that, I think this game is well on it's way to becoming awesome.

I look forward to playing it, and I can't wait to start pvping.

Yeah it's actually a pritty nice game

It just needs more people! heh. Would be nice to get an english speaking guild going sometime soon , it's hard to get some group exp flowing when no one can communicate with you properly because of language barriers.

Has there been any word on if Strafing, Jumping, or Enemy Targeting will be in?

Thamior · 10-22-2006, 05:20 AM

no idea. As for the guild, I think there should be separate servers, one for English, one for Spanish and one for Portugese. Luckily, I can speak/write fluently in Spanish and English(since I was born in Argentina and I now live in Canada), but most people can't. It is nice to see some people who speak English though, were I dont have to be trying to figure out how to say "post" or "glitch" in spanish.

A key to cycle through enemies is a must for this game, i hope they implement it soon.
About strafe and jump.... there are some files in the game that are called jump.lua and strafe.lua but so far you can´t do any of those.

Hello everyone,

Right now we are focusing mostly on overall polish and bug fixing. Jump and strafe is something we have been discussing but we are not changing anything movement related for now. However, we intend to improve the controls in the near future.

And about the TAB button, you hit the nail. We are going to do just that, cycle between nearby enemy targets (and possible have an option where you can cycle your friends as well, good for battling in parties). Probably available on the next big update (weeks from now as we have several performance issues in our hands right now).

Regards

Auto targetting command? Doesn't that encourages botters?

Scoteh · 10-22-2006, 11:34 PM

Yes but it also encourages me to not go insane trying to find the nearest mob

plrabun · 10-23-2006, 12:16 AM

and sometimes without the "target nearest enemy key" or "target nearest attacker" you will find it takes longer to do such, and that gives the monster more time to do damage to you

also, sometimes with alot of monsters, you can't click the one you want or it takes too long to click the right one, and you have to adjust the camera or move around the mobs to be able to click the right one
