So I got the Beta...Follow

#1 Nov 10 2004 at 9:03 AM Rating: Default
I have been playing other mmorpg and I am tryng this.

They need to :

1. Add mini map with NPC names on it.
2. Dont force crafting. I feel like I must take up a craft and that shouldnt be the case.

3. Chat system is small and unproffesional. It reminds me to much of lineage2

3. The graphics, may not matter to you but they are not to appealing. (I can get over that)

4. To many quests to much a waste of my time.
the 1st 4 people i talked to gave me quests.
I know this is blizzards way to help you interact with whatever village you choose or race > but it is a bit to much for me.

I want to learn how to play before I get a gizzilion quests.

what I like.

1. you can solo ^^
2. no repeat item crafting. finally
3. PVP and raids will be majority of things ill be doing at hgh lvls...
4. Reminds me of diablo 2 which is a good thing.
5. blizzard is attaempting to make this very addicting..
wil it work?
I think so but it is not the game for me so far...

Yes it would be cool to have the NPC names on the mini-map but thats takes away the whole point of exploring, making things way too easy.

I think the chat system is nice, and being able to split it from the battle spam is a feature I wished FFXI had.

The quest imo is a great way to avoid exp grind, also it helps you explore new areas and get to know the maps.

Try pressing "v" in game. You will see health bars / names for EVERY PC and NPC that is in your sight range. Particularly helpful.

Not sure what you are talking about here. You don't have to craft, although it is good to. Not only is it extremely easy to start up, but most items needed for recipes are dropped off of mobs you are killing to exp/quest. If you are talking about the money aspect of things, advertise crafting ingredients you may have picked up in the general or trade channel. On test 2, 20 linen can run anywhere from 4-6 silver...and it's not hard to find.

Yeah, the chat system drives me nuts too. :\

Actually, the quests help you explore (exploring gives you exp, by the way) and give you money and other valuable items. Besides, no one said you had to do them. You can level grind all day if you please.



It is a great game. Blizzard has done a good job *OVERALL* with the game...there are still a few small discrepancies, but this is still the beta. Hopefully they will continue in true Blizzard fashion and release a polished and as close to perfect as possible product upon release.

Graphics are not appealing? What are you smokin'? I love the graphics. It matches the RTS games. Its part of what makes Warcraft great! Thats the way it looks. Enjoy! I love the game. I'm hooked. Its not FFXI. Its not Evercrack. I'm thrilled with what they have done. Sure I wish I had a better understanding of some of the things. Like how do I train my pet. He has like 40+ training points and I don't know what I have to do to use'em. Other than few points where I'm lost, the game has me hooked. Sorry, you don't like it.
