Not so polished, if you ask me...

Good game but needs content, change the stats system a little, and more people.

**Powster** · 08-27-2009, 12:12 AM

Game is great if you ask me..

**HastyPudding** · 08-27-2009, 12:52 AM

Good game if they got rid of the targeting system. I gave it a chance, but the constant need to target the mobs put me off for good. The skill deck was great, and I like the idea of few skills with many many effects, but the targeting was irritating at best.

The real F2P isnt out yet they are working on it if you notice its the same content as before all the accounts are just live now so you can play hopefully their wont be a rollback but i hear their changing alot of stuff and content and will release in 2010

I can't get it to run smoothly at all. And I still think it looks pretty bad. I could see myself playing it if it had that problem fixed. It is a pretty fun game I guess.

I play in the pvp server and I never had problems creating chars, and I never had other problems with server not saving levels etc...

My opinion on the game: it's wonderful. The world is beautiful, great animations, the combat system is awesome, skills (and the effects on movement/attack speed etc that they have) are great...this game may not be perfect, but all other f2p mmorpgs are shit compared to TCOS.
I'm playing a trickster, and i'm having a lot of fun with it.

It is a well known problem right now of not being able to make characters or anything even being saved in the database...personally I don't think they will fix it for a couple months since they aren't getting paid to do it right now.

I felt the game was great, certainly not polished in terms of animations or engine etc. but the combat system is done fairly well, the animations don't really match some of the spells/skills but that's whatever...and it feels laggy for me because of that but that's another issue.

So no not really polished, but it is an ok game, the quests will piss you right off after a while though.

Never had any problems with creating characters on PVP server.... And I've created TONS of them, yes TONS... just testing each class.

Now, about not saving, few days ago, I've noticed some small maintenance, after loging back, people were screaming over chat that ROLLBACK problem is now fixed, so maybe your "Levels aren't saving" = Rollback issue.

About the game, I hate it's tutorial, it's waste of time.
But actually I pretty much like it, first time I played it (durning OB ), leveled up to lvl 4 ... and quit, didn't like it... Now gave it another try and liked it actually, it's good, it's not really that stupid game where you have to spam 1-3-4-7 -> move to another mob -> 1-3-4-7 -> move to another mob
You have to build your skill combos, each use of skill moves you to another rung of your "skill deck"... it's pretty hard for me to explain exactly how does it work, but it's pretty much simple and people who like to use their BRAINS while playing games would really love that feature.

Though, game needs some improvements in performance (I run it maxed out, but I could see people having problems running it somewhat smooth) and other small polish jobs.

Game is worth at least 3 tries (2 weeks of break would be enough between tries

), if you won't like it, then yea, game is not for you.

game is ok. Better than all the other f2p games in my opinion. Nice quests and you have this explore feeling.

and dont listen to the guys who have probs.. not everyone have this prob to make a char on the pvp server. Works fine for me. I have never probs on that server. Dunno why some people have these probs

This is what I was referring to, if you went on and asked anyone in zone chat they would have told you it was well known as well.

If it is fixed hell if I know, no one has complained about it in 2 days so I'm guessing it was fixed. There are people stuck though that are having to make new chars because the gm's won't respond which sucks.

And you downsize other mmo's that use skill bars with 1~9 on it by claiming they all don't require using your brain? That's just plain ignorant.

I believe his 'brain' comment refers to the skill deck system in the game

What I meant by "You have to use your brain", it's not just simple put skills on bar and click on them whenever you want to.
You have to think which skill will be your starter, mid skills and finishers. You have to wisely choose which skill to use at each rung or you will waste all potential of your class.
But, Yea... I downsize other MMO's for using such a method, a simple skill bar. I like new things, new ideas not something copied for the last 10 years.

To sum up, I don't think that all games where you have a simple skill bar (0-9) are for brainless players, most of them are, but not all.
