Mabinogi - Great!!

[Danuve]

It's good that people like the game but all these threads on it are really annoying >.>. There's like 8 or 9 that just busted outta nowhere...

It usually expedites the process of a sub forum being created or at least thats what usually happens.

Played this game for like 2 hours a second ago - it's alright. The graphics are bland, but the combat is nice. There is also a bunch of quests to keep you motivated - which is a big plus.

On a sidnote - any pro mabinogi player mind helping me? Like in combat, how do you know when to use Defense/Counter Attack/Smash/etc.? I mean, sometimes I'll see the enemy have like exclamation marks over his head, and no matter what skill I do, I still get the crapped kicked out of me. So I just spam auto attack over and over again, even though most of you say that you have to time the skills or something like that. Help would be appreciated

Getting the Sharp Mind skill will help you a lot

Getting the Sharp Mind skill will help you a lot

Yes, I got that already. I just need help in knowing what skill to use in a particular situation - or when to use a certain skill.

[Kashis]

I usually like to learn it myself. Keeps me from being.. ineffective.

I just havent had the chance to play yet to see. It seems that there is auto attack, and then 3-4 <maybe more> Stances that the mob or you can use. Every stance has a counter stance, and if you fail to pay attention and see what stance the mob uses, you will be very ineffective.

I dunno.. just going by what others have said in this thread. I mean if I can handle Digital Devil Saga battle system, and Persona, and 10 years of mmorpg.. I am sure I can pay attention enough to see the signs in front of me

People say the battle system in megami tensei: imagine is like mabinogi's. I played Imagine and the battle system was dull to me. That was one of the main reasons why I didn't want to play mabinogi in the first place. From the videos i was hoping that you would move around freely and attack. My friend only told me minor details about the foreign version years ago.

Off topic-
I love DDS and persona too. Working on leveling to kill satan =P

try the game yourself.. its not really like imagine's battle system... only one perosn said that but.. i looked at the battle system on imagine.. and they arent similar at all.. the game is free roam and attack.. soo you might like it... just try it out its like 100% worth it.. and ,.. youll get your money back garuntee...: ) cuz it costs no money!

[Substance]

Glad you're enjoying the game!
I'm about to delve in later today with my Fileplanet key that was kindly donated.
Can't wait.

[Kyosuke]

Only bad thing right now is all the content that is missing due to it being just closed beta. Not sure whether if they'll open up more areas in open beta, which hopefully they do.

I also can't wait till they get the new races in.

[endofdays]

graphic na game f up in codeing of game

[nghtelf]

No, never! I waited for Mab longer then you did... I made a thread about it over a year ago...



There are millions of things you've never tried before... try the game yourself, we ain't going to baby you.

define what you consider longer....
ive been playing the korean version for 3+ years haahh if youve been waiting for about 4 years.. then i can say youve experienced what i have *twitch*

[Icharou]

I've been waiting for Mabinogi for a loooong time now, my friend played/plays the Korean version, it looked awesome. Now it's my turn!

[ChocoX]

It may be great, BUT I ****ING HATE THE CHILDISH ANIME LOOK. WHY?!?! Why can't they be normal people, looking normal. I don't wanna be some kid with an emo haircut and big eyes, killing some goddamn racoon.

Well, the simplest answer would be, it was born that way.

[Fuxey]

yeah, the gfx are pretty freaked up. it screws my gfx card, and there is always shadow and darkness around my char... guess the gfx arent compatible with many cards...

[Leviarel]

Lol, I figured that during my first hour of play.

Uncheck "celestial bodies." That happened some time ago, I am not sure if there's a change in the term.

so how did you fix it?

[Icharou]

Can't wait for my new PC, I wanna play this game on high (AA maxed out etc).

[Syetactic]

no... nexon also has a very very fast download... like 1/2 mb pr sec... just login, make subsription to mab, then there will come this download.

Huh? I was talking about being able to log in... not downloading.

[Fuxey]

Huh? I was talking about being able to log in... not downloading.

nexon has that too i guess...

[Ranu-chan]

Here's me in battle on Mabi:
Aim, smash, run, determine opponent's movement, use a skill to counter the opponent's skill, hit, hit, hit, get hit, hit some more, etc. I love Mabinogi's.....well.....Everything. I can't wait for the release. And, hey!! Not too much lag either (unlike TW and JP).

[malfion]

Yeah, theres little lag, and I spent more time making music and stuff than fighting( its fun).

[Stickypanda]

Lol you just figured that out....Heres a interesting ironic kick int he ass to mab fans

Mabinogi server capacity is awesome 20k over 20k invites have now gone out. Server capacity has not gone over 5k. Here's the owning tell tale kick in the ass

Cabal Online Na even I say really depth wise isnt better then mabinogi
8 Servers 2k each capacity
server 1-4 is packed you cant even log onto it
8k connections first night.
While I give a rough average the remaing 4 servers problably have 3k total. So thats 11k on a game I admit really isnt that much better then mabinogi.
Is supremely kicking mabinogi all the way back over seas where it belongs.

Funny ironic and down right picture perfect to the american market. If this isn't a wake up for the cheesey game lovers I don't know what will wake you up. Besides cabal going platinum world wide and mabinogi ending up scrapped before it gets to the good expansions. Because that may well happen sooner then you think if they can't even stress test the most anticipated port.



Yes use the search button and find a post I actually CAME and attacked you or anyone else personally. I said a game sucked and maybe somethign else sucks. You will not find a single post where in me first caming into a topic I personally attacked anyone. It's fan boys who get personal and catch a period and dont debate but argue. Like you did first thing you did towards me disrespect not debate. So again come back when you grow up.

I'd like to see where you get your figures from.

As for "fanboys" getting personal, you're the one who feels the need to go into every Mabinogi thread and try to tell others why you think its shitty. And guess what? You never have any good reasons.

So what does this make you?
An asshole.
Why?
You go into threads called: "Mabinogi-Great" (obviously FOR people who LIKE the game) and try to rain on everyones parade by comparing it to as shallow a game as Cabal.

[Syetactic]

I finally tried the game (my friend convinced me into to playing). Here's some good and bad

The Good-
The GUI was nicely done, guides and intro were too. Some of the in game songs were catchy, i like the animations when you switch weapons, part time jobs are decent, so is the music composer.
The age thing is kinda cool

The bad-
the graphics are mediocre
It's a point n clicker, they could have made this a "free movement" type of game.The battle system is EXACTLY like megami tensei: imagine, just faster. I cannot believe how many people actually tried to say it wasn't. All you have to do is lock onto your opponet and know which action beats what. THAT IS EXACTLY LIKE MEGAMI TENSEI: IMAGINE!!! I really don't like this rock, paper, scissors battle system at all for a 3d mmo. Watching the AI's movements in battle is a change from the normal auto attacking but it is not strategic at all. it gets real boring, real fast. It's very easy to do especially when you've had practice from console games. But i can get past that to try and enjoy the overall game.

I mean the game isn't horrible but it is not as good as people said it was. I know that for sure now (even though i've been saying this for about 2 months). I'm not sure if i want to even play this again. Even after playing the game, I'm still not impressed.

You can't talk about the battle system where you are at now... have you fought a bear, or even a golem yet?

[Kashis]

I don't like the battle system, period. the rest of the game is decent.

[Silentstorm]

um cabal closed beta had 5 servers packed. Thus the public post on the forums saying more servers will be available..........
Um mabinogi NEVER got over 5200 connections. Meantime cabal closed beta in 3 days maxed and had to purchase more.
Whats thier to get but the markey DOESNT respond to games like that anymore. Funny how everything blatantly in your face some mab fan says but that doesnt matter.....
CB OB won't matter in your heart quality beats pretty. But this is the real world and that doesn't fly. You can cult it all you like bottom dollar and looks will kill quality and depth EVERY single time. Its the nature of the business sorry to say. And when something like wow manages to be pretty and have depth. Then you have a break out product. Niether cabal or mab will ever be that. because they both lack what the other has.

Syet doesnt matter if your lvl 1 or 100 in mab its boring and slow like i said weeks ago. Its not anything new its just stripped down fighting system other games already use. It's not pretty its not flashy its not innovative. Its attack defend counter over and over and over. Then it has the nerve to be ass ugly on top of that. And i want to break the designer of this game everytime a monsters falls on the ground. And you ****ing look at it on the ground get up and it decides the next attack. THEN YOU GET TO HIT IT. Thats not even realism who waits for a monster to get up and decide to attack.
Game is so ridiculously primative its funny.

[Syetactic]

was it any of your business to but into a conversation no one insulted YOU in or called you too. And insult me because i don't share your opinion nope shut up and move along with your day.

And lol (at collision detection owning yet another victim most frustrating death in any game. Because its not working as intended and you might of won. Then you suddenly fly thru a attack or some wall a programmer forgot to code. Or was plain too lazy too code and death becomes you) That sucks and happens WAY too much in this game.

Fact is a few times I gave respect to the game but its not the god of all. And certainly as hell not ground breaking and better then alot of whats out. It just uniquely vintaged a fighting system problably more over used then water. And I just want to scream every time you knock something down. And your character looks at it on the ground. Like hi monster ill wait for you to get up now pissed. Oh hell no what game still does that reminds me of karateka on atari 2600. Thats the last game that actually had Ai that MADE you wait on a raising character. That was 20 years ago.....ewwwww

ShadowStorm, link me to that website thats giving you these stats because Google is of no help.

Also, name off a game that has all the features that Mabinogi has. Last time I checked, WoW got so great because it took all the great features people wanted in a MMO and brought it together. Darkfall is another game you would want to wait on, everything you would want at your fingertips.

Name me a game that brings together all the features Mabinogi has, then ontop of that, I want to see viewable proof of you comparing the battle system of Mab to another game.

Lets see you do that since your so smart and always correct. Right ShadowStorm?

[Kashis]

That's why i said it's a change from the norm. I play a lot of tactical games like disgaea, DDS, and hoshigami so comming up with a strategy to take out your enemy isn't a new idea to me. Compared to them, this game is child's play so no i don't find it hard or entertaining, but that's just me.

I, Me, Kashis do not like the battle system. And seeing as the battle system is a major part in mmo's to me, playing mabinogi not as fun to ME as it is to other people.

Trust me, it takes strategy because each monster has a specific strength and weakness. This is not referring to weapon and skill usage. Without Sharp Mind (and sometimes with it), you will need to devise certain strategies or attack patterns to kill a monster, rather than Auto Attack and pot/ skill spam.
