I just got done playing a couple months of Shadowbane so here's my two cents.
1. Sb.exe errors are gone.
2. Rubberbanding lag isn't as bad as it was X number of years ago but there's also no one around to cause it.
3. Movement controls are annoying even when you get used to them.
4. Leveling a character to max is pretty much a joke ONCE you find a group. Getting 5 to 10 levels in a night when grouped isn't out of the ordinary. Finding the group that won't take you to the middle of no where, use you for healing for a few hours, and then kill you for all the stuff you looted while you were there is the problem.
5. If you think X game is full of 12 year old fucks who do stupid shit, you're very wrong, Shadowbane is middle school all over again.
6. Since it's a free game there is a lot of Asian players now who I was never able to figure out how to communicate with even if I wanted to. They usually KOS everyone non asian.
7. People there are very generous. Communicate well and any guild, so starved for players, will gear you to the nines in a matter of minutes. Of course if chars are wiped this means little.
8. The pvp is fun if you're fighting someone within your range. Good luck with that on the servers pre-wipe. Thieves and assassins will roam day and night looking to gank you for next to no reward.
9. They added a travel speed, which I didn't remember at launch being in game, which if memory serves me lets you run at +100% speed with some defense and attack deductions. Makes traveling not as terrible. Still terrible just not as terrible.
10. Healing classes can still summon players to them, pretty neat if you box.
11. NPC AI is still retarded. You can be standing next to a NPC mob and it won't agro. However you can pull something with nothing standing next to it and it'll chain agro shit on you for ten minutes.
That's all I can think of quick, hope it helps someone! |
