Panzar: Forged by Chaos

[Grable]

http://www.panzar.com/

Forged By Chaos is an online fantasy RPG based on the theme of Chaos worlds powered by steel and battle magic. Your player's avatar is always an evolving character, progressing from Novice to Warlord through the accumulation of battle experience, the obtaining of new armor and weapons, and the development of Chaos Magic skills. Seek to become a mighty warrior in the Forged by Chaos world! This game boasts such as customizable characters, interactive environments, multi-player interaction, and enhanced game world dynamics.

It's a 10v10 (or even more, not sure) online fantasy third person game with action gameplay. The melee seems a lot like TERA, but you can move while performing attacks! Ranged combat is free aim, third person shooter style.

The game has 8 classes, each with their own unique, interesting abilities. The Sapper for example, plays a lot like Engineer from Team Fortress 2. You can check the abilities and talent trees for each class here: http://www.panzar.com/characters.php (click on the class).

The game also features character progression, levels, crafting and gear.
It uses CryEngine 3. It is pretty new, at least the english version, which was supposedly translated from russian just recently.

Jesus it took them long enough to launch this in english. I've been playing on and off since the Russian beta started awhile back. It's a pretty good game, definitely better than say Forge.

So it's a MOBA? Pass!

Depends what you put under moba. It does not play like the popular mobas (dota, lol, hon) at all. It's a simple 10 versus 10 domination/point control game. There's no towers or NPC mobs or stuff like that.

And the combat system is definitely more engaging, which is where I think this game shines.

[Mario87]

Same, I can't find a game at all RIP

Lol, just click play. Sometimes you gotta wait. Game is decent so far, laggy as **** for me since im in NA, I was running away from one of those Orc Barbarians and he was hitting me clearly 10 ft away -___-.

[FluffyKitten]

Well, i can find game in about 5 minutes, sometimes a bit more. Feeling no lag because i bet the hosts are really close to me hah

[Grable]

Btw, you guys that are saying you can't find any game - where are you looking for them? Because I just hit play, wait for a bit and then a game pops up. Is there a game browser I somehow missed?

It's still a MOBA.

From wiki:

Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), also known as action real-time strategy (ARTS), is a sub-genre of the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, in which often two teams of players compete with each other in discrete games, with each player controlling a single character through an RTS-style interface.

In just what terms is it a moba? I see it as a multiplayer action game. If this was anything like a MOBA, I wouldn't be playing it.

No I just apparently keep choosing bad times to play, cause I'll let it go for 10-20 minutes and not find anything @_@
Also yeah I just ignored him when he claimed it was a moba.

[Accany]

10 minutes of waiting and no game... I guess this isn't the game for me

[Grable]

The english version just came out and the company didn't do any advertising yet from what I've seen, so pop is still low. I had no trouble getting games within 3 minutes yesterday at EU prime time (EU evening) though.

But it's getting press coverage now so population should rise!

Yeah certainly no ill feelings to the game for beling low pop on server start haha, just a slight let down after the dl is all xp

[utero]

The video preview game play and graphics looks amazing. I will give it a try

[iAddison]

Can you play this from NA?

How about answering this person's question, huh?
Because I'm wondering the same thing and would love to try it out.

[Abyssion]

Is this game like Rakion? Cuz I would LOVE a game like Rakion

[dalda]

The game seems kind of unplayably unbalanced. At least the lower levels the Orc classes just dominate everything.

How about.... um, yeah I got nothing to say.
But fine, I'll read from now on and stop being lazy in the mornings

[Grable]

Game can be played from NA, but there's no NA server (yet).

Somewhat similar yeah. I like both games, you should give it a try.

I dominated just fine with the Fire Witch. I do agree that Berserker has a very strong attack though. Tanks are useful but don't deal as much damage.

My main is a Tank

I think we get put in a different bracket as we level up, so that might explain why there's less games (not so many players beyond lvl 5). I'm lvl 5 myself.
