Because people are hypocrites. They'll bash this game but praise another total grindfest. Anyway, what do these ratings matter to anyone but the person who made the rating anyway? 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 SUXRZ!@"..

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.

[stanace]

Wait, what am I saying. How is Mabinogi even a grindfest? I gained 12 levels in an hour. (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.

[ultimaforce]

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

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.

My Rating:
Slow-paced Korean grindfest
0/10

DONT FLAME ME

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

Go figure.

[Xhosa]

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

[the12ofSpades]

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!

[Lord Mog]

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.

[johnnyt305]

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)

[Vesper]

I fear this game will be too cash shop dependant, but I have that fear with a lot of free to play games nowadays.

[Krunkmasta Flex]

look at the foriegn versions.

Korean only lets free members play 2 hours a day.
TW is severly limited on customization and pets and rebirth.
Japan i can't say because i never stuck around to find out, but i'm sure its as bad if not worse.

now lets play "follow the trend"
what do you think will happen with this version?

[Akel]

8/10. Lots of stuff to do. That's all I really care about. I don't usually pay because most games lack content worth paying for and i dont care about being disadvantaged cuz its free anyway. Besides, you'll always find people willing to sell cash shop items anyway.

Wow 2 hours a day. If they do something like that here then I will not play.

Korean also has a test server wich gives 4 character cards, free cash-shop items, and no time limitation, it's well worth the wipe.

CONSIDERING the fact that most of everyone in the MMORPG business thinks the average American gamer is completely different from everyone else, I'm going to predict that Mabinogi will become easier and probably more player friendly than the overseas versions, and definantly not "follow the trend" at all.

If it comes to a dark fate, send some Kefka into Nexon's HQ. That'll fix them.

Blame it on morons.

[GhostUnit]

1/10

I gave it a 1 cause i am nice. ^^ , cause 0/10 would be just sad.

[Darkone121]

As for me i dont care about the CS To me i dont think CS doesnt change anything but looks and features....

I just hate the combat. Just like some1 said before. Rock, Paper, Scissors? Come on....

The type of combat i love is either something like OKRA (going to try it out soon) and Domo...I love attacking 10 monsters at the same time.

Mabinogi is mostly quest after quest for me.

[RBL]

OMG! Reading this thread is horrible.

STOP TALKING ABOUT CASH SHOP WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE IN MIND!
IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED THEY HAVE MADE THE GAME MUCH MORE NOOB FRIENDLY, GUILDS AREN'T EVEN CASH SHOP ANYMORE. I DOUBT THEY ARE GOING TO GO CRAZY OVER CASH SHOP. SO STFU ABOUT THE CASH SHOP TILL IT COMES OUT. BECAUSE DO YOU SEE IT? HAVE YOU SEEN HE PRICES OR ITEMS YET?

WAIT A SEC, NO!! BECAUSE IT ISN'T OUT.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION, STOP MAKING UP SHIT. THIS ISN'T THE FOREIGN VERSION, THIS IS THE NA VERSION, THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO MAKE CHANGES TO SATISFY THE NA MARKET.

Holy crap.
Sharp mind is probably one of those changes.

We are talking about the NA version, stop bringing up other crap you read in the forum and are using to try to seem smart.

Stay on gawd damn topic, this is about the Pre-OB.

I typed it in caps so you guys can understand. Can you read it?



No, they'll just kick EU players out.

haven't you noticed that yet?

Gawd, bring in a valid point and stop making up things and assuming.

The topic is giving the game a rating you sir are the definition of "Epic Fail!".
