When they started to ban half Europe? ^_^

[Jermatoo]

Was sad when they finished the first CB, I had less than one dungeon left til I had level 20.

Anyone know the starting time GMT? I've been trying to login all day but keep receiving Unable to Connect. [1] error message.

Read on the forums it may have something to do with IP bans, so I checked their FAQ, England is not IP banned so...?

Thanks.

I kinda stopped midway being a CB but I'll take a look at the new stuff phase 2 has to offer.

i was following the pvp on this game through youtube when DN didnt have pvp yet

and it looks really awesome but i think when people figure out the combos it may turn into another dungeon fighter where you just get your socks rocked by people who know how to play good and it will be a steep learning curve most likely

also i worry about PWE's cash shop because when i played forsaken world there where people who probably spent close to/over 1k USD on the cash shop

also axe frantz and the little elemental mage chick look kind of easymode/OP but im a noob so i could be wrong

Gear doesnt have a huge impact on pvp, from what i've experienced. With a lvl 14 frantz i was easily able to beat lvl 20 characters. Then again i'm a sucker for those kind of games and able to learn combos quite fast :P
Lvl difference has more impact on pvp, i could be wrong though.

Here's a key for anyone too lazy to get one themselves :U

Characters from close beta 1 deleted?

Characters from close beta 1 deleted?

Nope, they are still there

Probably the most unbalanced mmo on the market today. And im not just talking about PvP. They made some balance changes in Phase2. Maybe now the weak classes are OP.

What the hell are you talking about? o_o the only unbalanced character was angela, and that was only due to the lvl 20 cap.

Even then a good Rude player could shut her down.

[Jermatoo]

Fixed for ya and Franz was pretty UP PVPwise.

ugh I noticed theres stamina, the game is fun but stamina is a pretty large turn off.

Stamina is there to hide the fact, the game doesnt have much content. Always funny when mmo's from 5-10years ago were released. You could play them for more then a month with all the content. Now they have business models. That will release new content every month or so. And start with almost nothing. The plan is to hook players longer and make them come back. I tend to stay away from these type of games as much as possible.

[MrTingTing]

I don't think stamina is a bad thing. It stops people from playing all day and gives you the chance to try out other characters you wouldnt play.
It's about taste i guess, i don't mind it all

[Lorddias]

Some days I might play all day others I'd barely play. Stamina to me just feels like a liability, if I don't spend it up it feels like a waste.

[GoldenArrow]

Yeah stamina is really annoying.
There's really no user-friendly reason behind it :O

[Jermatoo]

it's just so people don't grind all day and night for exp like in DFOs and such.

[The Great Beyond]

it's just so people don't grind all day and night for exp like in DFOs and such.

I feel you on that one but still, people play all day and night because they want to fully enjoy the game instead of being restricted. Even in DFO, when I was playing it, I felt incredibly limited with the whole stamina meter. There just wasn't enough to do when you weren't running dungeons except for PVP or not playing at all.

I think people would be alright with the stamina system if there was just a larger variety of things to do in these type of games rather than just PVP or doing nothing at all.
