Atlantica Online

Ok, I played it, let's see..

2GB install, kinda long, I installed it and it loaded fine.

The controls lag and the point and click is really annoying. You often wil click in an area and your character will not want to move there etc. You can use arrow keys but you bump into everything.

The combat is lame, it's not really turn based, it uses count down seconds, I don't get the point of this, it just makes you spam attacks.

There is no community in this game, just 1 channel and everything is about items, gold and grind.

Not a good game, sorry.

I dont wanne act like a fanboi or anything but u can use wasd to walk and q+e to strafe left and right.

Count down means turn based,check system settings i think u can put the time limit higher and lower.

It might be ur opinion but ur just a troll

I gave my opinion, it's a common thing to do on this forum. Get used to it or gtfo.

I only experience the moving/lag problem when pumping up the graphics setting. May that is your problem?

Thats the problem u try to make a point saying the movement is crap while it isnt.
Then u say the time limit to make some action is to slow, so i give u sollution again ur statement is not true.

Ur whole post is based on what 1 hour of playing 2 tops,thats not a common thing to do imo.

I dont care u dont like this game or that u make a lousy attempt to tell this game is crap.
Just trying to tell u next time u try to bash a game do ur homework first instead of making false arguments.

"Get used to it or gtfo"
Now thats a cool comment for a 28 year old.

Well he does have a point with the get used to it or gtfo, i nthe mmorpg forums its either ignore the trolls or stop visiting hte forums kauz whatever the mods do the forces of evil are omnipresent.

2GB is nothing these days. Unless you only play F2P games offcourse.

 I had no problems moving around. It was laggy at first, but they seemed to fix that day by day (Much like the logging in problem, which is gone now)

The countdown forces you to think about your next action, before your actual turn. Thinking ahead. Not to mention what kind of frustration will arise when 2 players fight eachother, and both taking 15 minute turns. Its simply part of the gameplay, not only to make things go faster, but also to rise the challenge.

There is no community in this game, just 1 channel and everything is about items, gold and grind.

The "Community" is the type of "I wanna play games for free!!111" community. But hey, its pretty much the same with all "item shop" games. Or atleast the ones Ive tried.

Not a good game, sorry.

All in all: I like the turn-based combat system.. But alas, its yet another "Item Mall" game, which means I won't be playing it when it goes live. I'lle keep testing it though, just for laughs.

Registered to check the game.

But seems in closed beta..

Let's look at the big picture here. 

On the positive side:  The game is more bug free than any I have ever, and I mean ever played in beta.  Combat is most definately turn based, but the timer keeps things moving.  I find it challenging and exilerating to be under time pressure, so it works for me.  I find the game very addicting and fun.  Part of the reason is that I joined a guild with some cool folks, so I guess c ommunity is what you make of it.  The game is endlessly deep.  I find it hard to believe anyone could run out of things to do.  Combat is really fun in a turn-based way.  The more you get into the game the more formations and character selection matter.

Negatives:  Some translation problems, but manageable.  Will be a cash shop game and there is no way to tell what the costs or limitations to non-paying players will be.  The game is a black whole of time consumption.  Grinding is required, but for me so far, the most fun I've ever had grinding.  I find it hard to knock a game about this because on the other side of the spectrum you have games with no content that are boring.

I can't but help myself reccomending this game.  Just don't lose your life to it.
