Anyone testing RYL?

[bvnk3r]

I've been testing this game for about a week now with a friend. It's still closed beta and has a bit of work yet, but still pretty damn cool. The graphics aren't great yet, but they are damn good for only being able to set them to low medium setting. Oh and it runs perfectly smooth with a clip plane as far as you can see. Combat kicks ass in it also.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has been testing it. Here's the link for those wondering what it is.

no fucking joke this game kicks the cann for the winner in my books atm, the combat system, the ui, the graphics, models, weapons, its all fucking own.

most people are going to get turned down by a few things though :


Ui = sorta like diablo 2, the exp bar, inventory and shit is almost identical but the hp/mp isnt globes its just bar's, you can also augment weapons/ armor with gems and shit.

the combat system is win, you move to dodge, but... you have to click to attack wich isnt actually half as bad as most people will think, right click is your hotkeyed abillity (dark sword, vampire kiss etc.) dark sword is a huge dmg abillity, roughly 6x your regular dmg depending on lvl.

downside i find atm is the regen rate of HP/MP is rediculous you regain like a full bar of each in about 20-30 seconds of sitting down, its really retardedly fast and i hope they fix it but slow regen is gay too, maybe 1/3 of what its at would be good. another thing i dislike is whenever you eat food...say (bread, raw meat, cooked meat) you regain hp, bread is about 200ish, raw meat 500ish and cooked meat is like 700ish....they NEED to atleast do something about that i mean i solo shit that i shouldent be able to take on for another 10 lvls

wizards(sorcerers) are also way to powerfull, around lvl 15-20 or so they kill shit in 1-3 hits, when it takes an assassin of the same lvl about 3 dark swords and like 40 attacks

i havent seen many enchanter's, but they can apparently use bows *shrug*, i havent played an archer yet either but im going to lvl a rogue again and sub class to archer( you do this at lvl 10)

so far the class tree is something like this

:

Rogue: archer/assassin
Fighter: Warrior/ ? ? or maybe its ? ? / warrior, no clue yet.
Acolyte: Preist/cleric
Mage: Sorcerer/Enchanter

so far i've played rogue - assasin, lvl 11.
they're fun as hell, you can deal krazy dmg and do some pretty cool moves (run jump do a mid air roll thing and whack the mob heh) they're fairly good soloers with half decent gear.

Mage - lvl 8

now this is a fun class, its not just your EQ mage...sit med...make a pet buff it summon shit for him, med for 15 minutes, try to solo something and get owned.

in this they melee, i dont even think they get pets since they turn into a mage or enchanter at 10, they melee and cast very insane spells when a sorcerer and hell even melee they arent horrible dmg they can still whack for pretty high ammounts of dmg.

its a really fun game, servers arent very stable atm though...but it is still only closed beta and only going live in may i think.

check it out, you'll probably enjoy it

It's got heavy influences from Diablo 2 and Morrowind. Fun game if you like hack n' slash.

Speedh4x for the win.

It's a mix between Diablo2 and Shadowbane as far as play style goes. Combat is the own, but there's nothing else to do other than grind xp, there is a severe lack of content so far and PVP is out of the question since there is no goal to pvp outside of killing random players (you don't see there names, only there class) and considering how many players are using speed hacks/dupes. Also the servers are very unstable, but they are in like Malaysia so I guess that's normal.

Imagine Diablo2 over battlenet with unlimited speedhackers/dupers, without any quests, but with a better combat engine/spell affects. Supposively the game has been in closed beta in China for about a year and is almost ready to launch, english beta is just to cover translation issues. I don't think the game will do well in the US.

and ''EverQuest'' doesent?. . .

It's closed beta, not a finished product... There are bugs that still need to be worked out. As for speedhacks, well there are people using it, but once open beta hits they'll be w/o an account. There is tons of content for being closed beta, you must not have left the first island. PVP kinda sucks atm with the speedhackers, but it's still fun and rewarding if you kill enough and take over the way points.

Oh, and server stability has been fine for me since day one, i sometimes get an occasional boot from the game or lag here and there, no different than EQ or any other game that's actually been out for years. Maybe you need to update your patcher or you're having router problems.

No, actually Everquest doesn't.

What kind of person takes the time to speed hack a closed beta? wtf? I guess I'm just assuming it takes time to make stuff like that work, I dunno.

IMO, this game looks fucking awsome. But...a few things I'm not liking about it (as an outsider looking in).

First and foremost, it won't be huge. It's a weird thing, but I like games that other people like. I played Medal of Honor for almost 2 years and almost everyday, (got quite good too ), but after a while, instead of having 1000 servers with a million people, it boiled down to like 10 servers with 100 people and we all knew each other. Got kinda boring. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm guessing this effect is amplified in MMO's. (I've never played a backwater MMO before)

Second, even if the game is huge, it will be primarily be huge in asia. Which be all fine n' gud yo, 'cept I don't speak nuthin' but english n' shit. Know what I'm sayin'?

And if the hacker thing is true, if people really are doing that crap, then to hell with that mess.

But, as I said, the game does look pretty bad ass. My focus now is on WoW, but this one still has my attention. I'll probably wait for reviews after the game has been live for a month or two and then decide.

oh and btw: thanks for the writeup Blazenfury.
