Cabal Online

i played cabal for about 20mins then got bored, i cant say the graphics are up to date and there is big lag in cities.

Now i dont wana bitch about why i dont like the game, i just wana know what people like and hate about it.

So plz tell me what r the good points about cabal and bad points e.g. Lag, Botting issues,lack of patch,lack of admin. So i can see what the game is like through a expirenced cabal gamer.

Well, i have to say that it's the best freemmo ive ever played, and because it has cool effecs, ype i agree you get bored after awhile. anyone know a good free-mmo btw?? :P

For a free MMORPG - I like Perfect World.

I don't get a lot of lag in the cities.  I've noticed a lot of people getting lag when I don't though.  I suspect it may have something to do with how your ram is set up?  Or maybe your server connection?  I have a cable connection in a neighborhood with view other cable computer users.

Not sure what game you played but that doesn't sound like the Cabal I have being playing for the last month.  I played Open Beta into release and I think the game is great.  I have played a few free MMO's and haven't like any of them untill now.  First off the so called LAG that you were experiancing where the heck was that?  I mean the only lag I ever got was when I entered the trade channel and there were hundreds of player owned shops set up in one area.  Other then that, there is no real lag, maybe it is my computer, or maybe it is the server I was on on or the Channel, but since I have being on a high pop server this entire time going to the same channel each time I have never had a lag issue.

Why is Cabal good, its hard to say, the choice that you can grind if your into that, or you can do the quests.  Character development is well done as well, your skills have being very well thought out.  The Battle modes and auras are very well done as well.  The graphics are not as good as a game like Gears of War but they are good and easy for most machines to run.  This game is ment for many levels of gamers, not just hard core nerds.  The combat system is great, once you start doing combo's it becomes a good challenge, to keep your composure and time your hits just right.

Now since live they have opened the cash shop, and they offer quite a few things there, one is a premium account.  The premium account is nice because you can get on a lower pop channel so that you don't have to compete with so many people.  Not to mention you can buy tools to help you out in the game.

Overall I think Cabal is great, is it the best, I don't think so.  I am still a fan of the idea that your character defines how well you will survive, not your gear.  I will give an example, in WOW for example if you were to lose all of your high end weapons and armor could you survive with starter equipment in a place like Onyxia's cave?  The answer is no.  Well I like games where your skills and your stats make you powerful not your weapons, if you take away all the leet crap, you should be able to pick up a starter weapon and still be able to defend yourself at almost top form, the only game I know that does this still is, Asheron's Call.  To me AC is still the best but after it comes Anarchy Online, and now Cabal.

Does Cabal deserve a good rating, yes it does.

Im only lvl 31 in Cabal but for being a free game i like the fact that it has what seems to be endless quests, the games look and feel is nice aswell (again for being a free game) i dont seem to hit much lag, other then loading in when i have loged out in town, the music to the game is great to, also i like their /dance emote hehe =^_^=, the only down side i have with the game atm is sometimes the servers can be so full that doing your quests can be hard cuzz there is like 9 other people standing there trying to kill the same thing you are. but other then that its an all around desently good free game for me to pass the time untill AoC comes out.

You got bored after 20 mins? Then this game isn't for you.

I, however, think the game is great, and it deserves it's rating. I would call myself an experienced player, even though I'm not that high a level. ( 98..)

There are hundreds, if not thousands of quests to do, party dungeons ( Lake in dusk, Ruina station,tower of the dead, etc. ) Which is fun for grouping.

The graphics are very good for a free game, and better than any other game i've played ( on the computer )

The are only two things I don't like about this game:

Skilling: Pain in the ass, but it's definately worth it, the end-game skills are jsut awesome.

Nations: At lvl 95+ you can pick a nation ( Procyon or Capella ). At all 95+ maps you can get pked at any time by the enemy nation. IF YOU DON'T PICK A NATION, IT'LL BE YOU VS ALL.

Get a good guild, good friends and it's an awesome game.

protip: don't play games from korea... gunz, RF online, cabal etc.....

The "quests" are just mindnumbingly boring, it consists of an NPC dailog (which could say anything, then go kill X of this)... There aer about 100+ of these and only these for quests, of which have crappy translations... This game is intended for retards, underage/immature kids and coma victims.... Actually about any game coming from korea lately... God we need to hurry up and give them starcraft 2 before they do something really bad.

The only good: it isn't equipment based development. But there is a cash shop, which prolly means that the only way to be good is to fork out hundreds (read scam) of dollars.

BTW: no end game, no pking/looting.

The cash shop is made so that people don't get huge advantages by using it, they just reach their goals faster.. A player not using cash shop isn't any worse than a player who uses it.

There is Pking, but not looting. Every server has it's own "PK" channel, and there are NATION WARS on an own war map.

the graphics suck at first... really badly. but after u get to maybe lvl 25 you will see its actually very very pretty(armor and monsters more detailed- even the scenery), especially with all the skill effects. to be honest i think cabal online has the prettiest skill effects ive seen in a mmorpg (i have played a lot- p2p and a lot of free ones).
