This game was really awesome when Flagship Studios was holding the reins. When I went back to play again under Frogster, the magic was gone. Too bad too, it was quite a gem of a game.

Did you play at launch? What's so different now?

Would be very grateful for a buddy key. I'm a long time member and have shared keys in the past!

Thanks in advance!

I would like to get a key to please!

I was lucky enough to win 2 keys from the various contests going on.

I don't want it to go to waste so I'd like to offer it to a fellow FF fan.

PM me if you're interested. I don't want to just give it away to a random person but I'm not exactly sure what I should do to find the best recipient...

So maybe you have a clever idea??

Please send one my way too! I'll be sure to return the favor!

ahh thank you. Poor me no play

How are you able to play this weekend? I thought the open beta started on Sept 7th??

I must be in the minority, but during beta I really enjoyed Fury. Granted, the learning curve was steep, and the competition fierce, but after I got to a decent level, the game was really fun.

What I most disliked about the game was its ridiculous systems reqs. My computer was top of the line a year ago, and I barely pulled 30 FPS will Fury on low settings. The graphics weren't that great to begin with. If you want to build an all PVP game, you better make sure that it runs flawlessly. I think this is what turned a lot of people off from the game.

It took about 2-3 weeks of daily play to get used to the game and level up to be competitive, but after that I couldn't wait to get off work and play.

It wasn't worth it to me to buy the game and pay a monthly fee, but now that it's going F2P, I'll be playing!

Here's an opinion of somebody who's actually played the game for more than 20 minutes.... (read: 2 months)

It's true, you need a beast of a computer to run it at full blast. I have a pentium D 2.8. 2gigs memory, nvidia 7600gt. not a bad system. Above average i'd guess. Well I have to turn settings all the way down and still only get 20-30 fps. But hey, it's an excuse to upgrade for me :)

Gameplay is truly unique. There are no classes. You have the choice to use every single ability in the game mixed and matched all together. The type, rank and strength of an ability give it an "equip value." As you "level up" you are able to given expanded equip value. This allows higher level players to equip better armor and more, stronger skills.

You can change what abilities you take with you in between each battle. Be a healer one round and a fighter the next. There is an endless number of skill combinations.

People get turned off by the game at first because it has a fairly steep leveling curve. it is very intimidating when there are 4 schools of abilities and 100's of skills in each school. But it just takes time to figure out what works together and what doesn't. That's half the fun to me.

Queue times are excellent and always have been. Ranging from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. With an average of 2minutes has been my experience. I always queue up as soon as I leave a battleground and the queue is up before i have time to visit the mailbox or buy a new spell. Very little downtime.

Combat is fast paced and in the beginning when you can only equip 4-5 abilities of course you are going to be spamming the same one over and over. But when you reach rank 8 or so and can fill up you whole ability bar with attacks, heals, roots, shields, buffs, teleports, charge manipulations, etc, etc the game takes on a whole new aspect. You have to really be on your toes and think sharp to know what button to press when. If you just spam attack attack attack you will die in an instant.

You gotta play smart.

Load times and increases in FPS are the only 2 things I hope Auran can drasticially improve before release. But again, maybe I just need a newer computer.

I would highly recommend this game to anybody. It's new and innovative. Just get to rank 3 or 4 at least before passing judgement.

Auran, you might want to consider tweaking the learning curve in some manner to hold new players attention.

When i heard about fury and his unique pvp combat , thats close to UT fight style , i was waiting something more from that...

 

• First of all , character creation , isnt really new. 1 race , and u can select some hair styles and face mood. Makes everyone look the same.

 There is no need for individual characters really... once you have full armor you can't see your face anyways.

 

• Classes are pretty nice , but not balanced. (Caster classes dying easy but they dont deal the dmg they should).

 There aren't really any classes in the game. You can take skills from each skill line and use them all. You'd be a fool to only use to skill type. Balance is in your hands.

 

• Artwork is in beta of course , but not really something special.

It will get better.

 

• Perfomance is one of the worst parts of the game . With CPU 3.00GB , 1GB RAM , 256 mb ram , i was lagging a lot. The fury fans must have 2GB ram , to continue playing.

 It will get better. Old client build.

 

• Battles doesnt seems intersting for me , as long doesnt need any skill to kill. Everyone can charge , spam some buttons , and win. Remember me WoW pvp-style.

As somebody else stated, it's gets more challenging as you progress. The first few levels are just a spam-fest while people are learning how the game works and what skills to use. But trust me, if you go into a rank 8-10 Vortex and just spam buttons blindly, you'll be dead in a flash.

There are stuns, silences, roots, amplifiers, nullifiers, heals, buffs, etc, etc. You have to master using all of these techniques together in order to become a successful player. It may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but once you have fully developed each skill-line and have every spell at your disposal, you'll have a blast!

I keep both of my hotbars full all the time. Nearly all the buttons are mapped to non-standard keys. It's a challenge in itself trying to remember each keymap and when to use what skill! That's the beauty of this game imo.
 

 

• Item gathering , its intersting.

Except for jewelry and belts, I don't see the point in items dropping from battle... the artificiers can make weapons and armor for dirt cheap; just as good as the loot that drops. You should never not be in your highest rank armor. 

 

• Support : There are CSR everywhere , and trying to help you. They dont have the knowlenge, they should have though.

 The game is in alpha, you can't expect these guys to be experts on the game already; they will get better.

 

Graphics : 50%

Sound : 25%

Interface : 80%

Action : 85%

Gameplay : 75%

Performance : 40%

General : 65%

 

Finally , Fury its a game , for strong pvp fans or  for ppls who have a very small time  amount for Games.

I dont really think , its the king of all pvp games.

Lets not forget tho , its just in beta , many things are going to become better.
