Mabinogi's Rating

What do you think of it so far? Do you guys like the way how they build the gameplay and their features? As for me, Ive gotten to lvl 6, and so far i hate he combat. Its to slow. Infact the game is sorta to slow. >_>

But this game is mainly about quests. As far as i know. Its a quest after the other.

I would give mabinogi a 7/10

It doesnt go to well for me, but ill try to stick with it and see how it goes.

Also to me Mabinogi seems like a 2nd version of Runescape. With a little bit more creativity.

10/10.

It's Mabinogi, it's in english.

The rest wil come patch by patch.

Why give mabinogi 0/10 ? Graphics doesnt matter only the gameplay does. And its not all about grinding you can do other stuff. :D Look at holic online now that is a grinding game same goes for cabal online.
10/10 for mabinogi

8/10
Combats far better than all the other point and click games out there.
Partying is very fun.
Loads of features.
The main problem is the cash shop.

mabinogi is just plain boring , oh right alot of stuff to do COOL!! lol who cares? the gameplay is just not deep(i dont mean mining ,farming etc.... i do understand myself.) and combat system is boring as runescape .

as mentionned i tried Jmab. and wasen't that great ..my own opinion.

To be honest, I'm quite impressed so far. The music making is pretty awesome, I heard someone play the Metal Gear Solid theme at the first town (the names are too weird for me to remember). The combat system is interesting; I think some people are being a bit too harsh on it, it takes awhile to figure out. So far I'm level seven or eight and I'm enjoying it.

I hope the cash shop doesn't ruin the fun.

So far 8/10.

They said that a long time ago.

Well everyone knew about it being a block.

Just use a proxy, it's not hard.

Anyways, I rate the game 7.8/10
The game has many features and life skills. I like the way you have choices when chatting to a NPC, all the game clips are nice, dungeons always change, tactics needed to fight, especially vs that bear which was fun. Party quests are cool and I can go on.

The game adds a lot of fun features, and the non-generic fighting system can keep your attention. Though I wish monsters didn't attack me so quickly a lot of the time, but I'm getting the hang of it. I used to think it was slow, but killing a monster in this game is much faster then in other games though you may not noticed it. Also when fighting those harder monsters its more fun and a lot of thinking comes into play.

i didn't really understand the hype. i played it and was kinda bored. it looks nice, but it slow paced. too casual for me. the community was spectacular, really nice. maybe it's just too casual/nice/cutesy for my likes.

-2/10 because Nexon blocked IPs outside NA.
But I connected though a proxy, and even if it lagged like a crap, it's good, i'd give it a 6.5/10.

I hope the Open Beta will be global, so I don't need to use proxies. But actually if you'll look at Nexon's degree of ******ation, it will be NA-only again.

Thats what they just announced, it wont be global. And I personally hate having to play games through proxies >.<

wow, people are agreeing with me. the hype is unjustified.

Err, have you not noticed how many people are in the game right now?

This isn't even release. A lot of people are not even played because characters get wiped.

If we had all of EU coming in as well, the game would insta-fail. The servers would lag like heck, or the game would crash. Then they'd just kick EU out again.

For a free game, about 6/10.

For a game in general, 3/10.

Graphics are horrible, game seems to get boring very quickly for me.

Yes, graphics do matter, however, it depends on the person.

7/10
would give it a higher rate if the graphics werent so choppy and if it had wasd controls.

Hmm, they said na only due licence agreement, if u think out of the box it can be good news...

EU isnt that.. whe are fun...

oh dam didnt read all the post well i mea if they banned gold farmers country

BTW to whos saying no there might not be cashshop..

Rebirthing is required for the game.. those are provided by cash shop.

Rebirths are in the mythology. Its in EVERY version.

Im Loving it. 9/10. Better than most free mmorpgs.

-999999999999/10, I hate rock, paper, scissors.

"MMORPS" . I have played Mabinogi IT IS Rock, Paper, Scissors online.

to be honest... mabinogi is the only game to really piss me off.

ok everyone, and i litteraly mean everyone, was hyped about it ( few exceptions), i was hyped too.

but then: disaster after disaster. nexon didnt allow eu players to play. the game was cash shop dependent. the gfx was sucky. the battle was lame ( even though people think its soooo nice -.- ) and so on...

anyways... clothes was hair and eye dependent... where the FUQ did they get that idea. '' oh hey! you have blue eyes right? you are born to wear pink clothes!!?!?=''

ok so i decided to give it a try. What happens? i cant configure my gfx so it dosent look so dark and the resolutions just screw it all over. anyways, i could manage to play with horrible graphics and almost diabolic light. so i move on into some quests and such. does it surprise anyone, that the quests was about guarding stupid sheeps?

Anyways. there was quite few dungeon quests in the start which made it a bit better... and to be on the fanboys side (whom always have a lot of good points about the game), you could actualy collect eggs...

oh well... 5/10 ... for bad options, oppurtunities about the system, non serious quests and totaly randomness

have none of you had magic or transformation skills? oh wait your impatient and wont even earn 10k or buy service to transform cause your cheap?

(And im not hyped -_- i played the foreign version extensively)

And, this is 1/8th of the content even more skills are coming.

It's all about whether YOU (yourself) enjoyed this game or not. I know I did, and it's certainly a hell lot more interactive than all those other lame point-and-clicks out there.

Actually, you know what? Let the hating continue. Fewer ill-mannered players in-game doesn't bother me.

---

not to turn around to another topic but... telling your opinion dosent make you ill-mannered. i dunno where you live, but i live in a Western Society, which means i have the right to say my opinion.

BTW: there is nothing hypocrit about hating one grindy game over another. Take Cabal and Mabinogi for instance. Cabal has grind BUT ALSO NICE GFX. Mabinogi has grind but does not have graphics..

Anyways. you are right. these ratings does not matter. in the end it's your own opinon that matters.

I loved the skill that tranforms your character into a black knight.

See you actually look into things.

Some people go "OHMAHGAWD CELLSHADED OMG MY FIRST 3 SKILLS SUXXORZ!@"..

The battle system is advanced if i could beat you with my character with all basic ranks and you with a high ranked character cause i understand it well.

Wait, what am I saying. How is Mabinogi even a grindfest? I gained 12 levels in an hour. O_o (But... they probably jacked up exp rates for pre-open beta)

I'm assuming a lot of people are having trouble with the combat system, and as such, are unable to kill anything that yields higher experience effectively. It's kind of funny really, because in this pre-open beta, they've given us the extra ability "Sharp Mind". This ability lets you see what skill the enemy is using, and is normally only available in TEST servers. If players are having trouble now, they'd be having even more trouble later when they CAN'T see what their enemy is using.

No exp s****-feeding is this game. If you find it frustrating, I guess I can say I'm not surprised.

To each, his or her own. I actually hate the generic graphics found in many Korean-->NA MMOs. Though without AA, I can imagine Mabinogi to be pretty hard on the eyes for some.

I didn't say you didn't play it. I just said to look it up. IF you played it before what made you think the battle system was going to change.
And you shouldn't judge it so badly on something you dont like in general. You dont only have to fight you know.

I gotta feelin' that Mabinogi wil be more loved when the game gets more stuff that was in the foreign version. And there the either-loved-or-hated combat system.

Personally, I think it makes point-and-click feel far more dynamic than in most other MMOs. But oh well, I'm just glad Nexon finally releases this online gem.

Well, for some lower-level monsters, it's usually easy to tell. While you won't have sharp mind, you'll still see the enemy flash when they use a skill. For example, after you attack a wolf, it may choose to do 2 different things:
1. Use a skill
2. Attack you directly.

It's pretty obvious course of action your enemy is taking at this point, but when they use a skill, you'll have to be aware of their movements/actions.
There are usually only three skills they'll use: Defend, Counter, or Smash (until you get to monsters that cast spells or have special skills)
Here's how to tell which skill they're using (won't always work though):

1. For defence, the monster will still move around following the skill-use flash. However, they're movement will usually not be quick, or directed towards your character. Use smash in this case.
2. For counter, the monster will remain stationary and perhaps taunt you (with a growl? lol) Note this can be mistaken for a stationary monster in defence mode. Use windmill in this case.
3. For smash, following the skill-use flash, the monster will quickly run towards you and attack. To counter a smash, simply attack normally before they get to you. Note that this can be mistaken for a monster who may have used the previous two skills, cancelled, and opted for a regular attack. There are special cases though, eg. the goblin. The goblin won't run directly towards you when using the smash, but in an L-figure, which may sometimes throw you off.

i really can't believe people think that this game was to be the game of the year...if that's the case we are in for a rough year.

Seriously? I got to level 12 within an hour and only attacked 8 monsters.

Go figure. :-/

My rating for this game is a 6/10

I kinda like this game but its to grindy without quest, you gotta do parties for certian dungeons (I hate parties, im a loner, a drifter, I fly solo lol), its cashop dependant, and if you dont keep focus the monster can F*ck you up

true CS dependant game (junkie ) lol

9/10,

because of the awsome dungeon, skill, proffesion, and combat systems, and a great story oreanted world with lots to do and lots of quests. btw, DOMO SUCKS!XD

10/10. One of the best F2P games ever to grace America. It's a wonder how a fun game could ever be sent to us.

I put Mabinogi in my top 5 F2P MMORPGs.

The combat system is original and very fun if you know what you are doing and read about how it works.

Quest/Jobs system is very nice and doesn't force you to run back to the quest giver each time for rewards.

Personal dungeons are quick and easy.

There is so much to do other than just fighting!

I like the game.

Graphics are the weakest part of the game to me.

8.5/10 (F2P rating)
