General Discussion

People who have ever played a MMORPG may have found the problem. It is so sick if we can just choose a profession and learn relative skills. As a Priest, strong power but weak boby. As a Protector, good defense but bad attack...........It is so sick that we are unable to draw more fun from the game.

lol, as a newbie, i just choose one professtion when i enter Angels Online. One month passed, i have drawed a lot of fun from the game because i began to learn skills of two professions. Yeap. angels online offers all playes the right. For example, i am a priest. I can learn skills which can help restore my HP and MP at the same time. Isn't it excellent? I need to spend less money on buying  kinds of medicine and level up faster.

I would like to find more guys who are interested in Angels Online. And i would like to share the fun brought by the game with you as well.

This is one of the problems I find with video game RPGs nowadays. Choosing a class from the start. I'd rather play it like UO and develop different skills as I go along. I picture it like this: When you are born you don't choose what career you have in your mother's arms. You take different elements from your life and interests and doing lots of research, formulate the best career for you. Even there you can change your mind and choose another.

In an RP sense if I am some unknown man washing up on the shores of Hyboria (Age of Conan) and can't remember my past, I won't suddenly develop a bunch of new skills whether healing or swordsmanship on the spot. It takes time to learn and grow into the type of hero/villian you want to be. I want more games like UO or EVE.

^^ im playing AO too.i was a chaos life.it have the strong spell attack. and great heal.it really a nice system could allow player to choose any spells what they want.  so nice. i love AO very much. it is so cute.

For now on lets use Ang.O as I get Angels Online mixed up with Anarchy Online

surprisely found the topic about AO here.

well, it is true that most of MMORPG failed to combined the features of different professions, but AO does!

I always thought that was really idiotic that you can find a sword or a gun that you can't pick up and use because it's designed for another profession, even though you've otherwise got the skills to do so.  How does the sword or gun know what profession you are anyhow?

lol, you can pick it up and then sell it to other players. It is a way to obtain money. well, I think it is good for the interaction among players in the game. You konw. We don't like to fight alone.

Unfortunately that doesn't answer the question.  What logical, rational reason can you give for letting one person use a sword based on a "profession" when someone else with equal stats and another "profession" cannot?

well, the balance in the game is very important.

OMG!!!

Whoever coined the phrase, "It's good for player interaction" is rich, but need meds.

People don't need built-in player/people interaction. They would interact over a well placed rock in the sand. Having thought about it, perhaps it's thinking along those lines that have ruined the fact that we are being led and not leading.

If I'm on a narrow passage, do I need arrows pointing me to the far end? Doesn't that take away the fact that I can think and reason on my own? I am 100% sure that a monkey could find it's way to the far end of a narrow passage without arrows (player interaction).

If I find the Sword of a Thousand Evils, please let me decide what to do with it. Don't place player interactions that almost for
