Well, I went and did it. Having watched Red have a quick play at this freebie game, I thought I'd give it a try. Guess what... it looks like it installed in my Linux environment ;) So it looks like I can play this without having to reboot my machine - bug advantage for me! So feel free to chat about Rappelz in this forum - let us see how it measures up against EU! (edit: also now renamed this forum for chatting about ANY other games we're playing - seems a better idea)
Re: New forum for Rappelz Hi, Well Rappelz has good features and not so good ones. First of all it is free :D That is always a + in anybodies book. I love the special effects with the great variety of spell casting, swirly lights etc. I like the idea of pet help when attacking other mobs. It seems there are only a few things I really don't like. One is the navigation system. Very primitive. Point and click went out with Myst lol. For rapid play you can end up with some nasty pain in your hands LOL. The other is repetition. There is a lack of variety of things to do at this time. It is hunt hunt and hunt some more. But does have quest so that is kind of nice also. They have just added an auction system so we will see if this helps with all the spam selling. The city lags like Port Atlantis used to hehehe. Ultimately It is a game I will play but for a lot less hours then EU because of the pain factor. Does it compare to EU??? Hmmmmmm...not at this time. But I think if it evolves just a bit more it could. :darthbattle::dragonspell:
Re: New forum for Rappelz After downloading the 1,6G installer and installing Rappelz on my notebook it wont run in the first time. Had to start a extra file which downloaded near the whole thing again :( but runs afterwards then. Rappelz looks like Flyff and has nearly the same control interface, simple and sometimes confusing :S Have killed some cats and got loot always Its a nice game and is not compareable with EU i think. The playerbase seems a generation younger than in EU. What i dont like is the magic part of it , the fight with spells , it remembers me of the very old D&D games i never really liked 20 years ago ;)
Re: New forum for Rappelz :( No you are not going to convince me continue playing Rappelz even though I stopped playing it when I reached Lvl20 my Knight :p Sorry but I prefer Fiesta. Even though it still is in open beta, in my opinion is way better than Rappelz. But all these games are Lineage II or WoW Clones. Cannot compare to EU. I believe it is only for fun. To get away from that annoying decay thing in EU and hunt as much as you like without fearing your sword will break just as the mob was left with 1HP and you had forgotten your rifle in storage... Btw, speaking of decay, EU is way unrealistic in the weapons' endurance. Swords don't break so easily in RL... :( PS. Sorry for my outburst here... :knight:
Re: New forum for Rappelz Perhaps I should have entitled this forum Other games chat. Also I spoke too soon - it seem the Rappelz loader relies on Internet Exploder for updates etc. When will these lazy coders learn not to embed this rubbish into their games? It is so easy to stay platform independent these days. Just becaue M$ gives you all your dev software for free doens't mean you should link to their objects left right and centre... grrrr
