thats lame. a lot of work just to have an elephant? i dont think so. auto-move feature is stils at its best. you really have no worries about the walking as long as you know where to go. well right now, with the auto-move feature being in premium items, abuse it as of now.

just like runescape huh...yeah i agree...but i think this game lacks of completion wich makes it not to popular among games.

i even barely know this game. i saw this one on a website, but dang, its not even known in my place.

So far no problems at all.. I'm low lvl (15) and during my play time session I usually use up only 20-30 points of stamin. maybe later I will have some problems with it but there are ways to recover it.

yes same here. im only low leveled, so i dont even bother checking my stamina points. but having feedbacks with level 60+. they are always asking what will happen to stamina. i think that will be a problem. some of the power players are actually done criticizing the game early as beginners of the game, that stamina system is crap. lets see what happens next.

This game is still up for beta testing right? Does it mean if it will be legally released, then all of the players will have to start from level 1 again? That’s cruel. I know it’s a law of beta testing but man, I almost got fair levels for my character, and I don’t want to go back from scratch. I hope NDOORS think about this, no rollback for beta testers. Well it may sounds unfair for others but then think about the effort and time of playing. Or maybe, just maybe, I’m the only one who thinks so.

Stamina is a both a problem and a solution to a problem. Stamina prevents long-term fighting. At the same time, it prevents players from using bots, a common trend in most MMORPGs.

hmmm. yeah. i agree on this. this has a point. maybe NDOORS used this stamina system to have ways to prevent bots in game. very clever indeed, for instance there will be bots, it will limit them to kill monsters and gain experience. it has many uses than one, we just have to fogure it out by ourselves.

For me the best place to farm is the sea palace.. because of high rate of ashen crystal being drop there plus the deep sea box where  it gives you better equps than spirit boxes... you can also try the asura boxes in angkor wat.. where you can choose weapons and it is not random...

this is an excellent help. i want to look for location where i can find in-demand items in the market. you can actually earn tons of money doing that, and of course i am donsidering a fair amount of experience for me to level up.

Have you played this game? What do you think of its performance? Its fun-factor? Its graphics? How bout the sounds? Its overall gameplay? How do you rate Atlantica online as an MMORPG game today? Give some comments!
 

i think its random. even my swordie performs stunning attack (pending confirmation) for some reason. i think all merc jobs or even heroes can perform stun attack, not sure though. i stun enemies for like 4 times per 50 targeted damage, so i dont really depend on those.

hope it clears any confusnes

so what skill is the area healing? it will be the best support magic in the game. will it be available to upgraded merc classes? i think it will be on level 50 right?

clever excuse

OT:

this game creates some issues almost several gamers argue. this makes the game a bit popular for now. their unique battle system is now a huge topic, yet no idea if it is good or bad.

First of all, this is not FF. This is AO, a totally new game. Instead of thinking about stamina as a limit, I suggest that you look at stamina on the positive side: make it work for you. And stamina can be recharged BTW, and there are many ways to do it.

Apparently, the devs have been thinking up of more ways to recharge/save stamina. Some of the ways I know are the following:

> Party battles take up less stamina, and make more exp, making it appealing to both players.

> PVP makes it possible to recharge stam, I think its 3 stam per PVP battle won

> Community Participation, Mentoring, etc etc all recharge stamina.

Here's the deal: hardcore players play all day long, without even thinking of participating in the community aside from selling items. That psychology technically destroys one of the main principles in MMORPG's, that is, community participation.

its either NDOORS will listen to what their ideal game is all about, or listen to what the critics and players feedback say. their ideal game is flawless, they really wanted balance between gameplay and grinding issue, which is effective but NOT necessary. the other side, a lot of players WILL quit the game if the game still implement this stamina system, which could be their downfall.

i might say stamina system is a bust, which makes me play only for almost 6 hours a day. it may seem uncontented but i have my reasons. ill figure this out by myself.

You may move characters during battle but only if your main tank fails. By putting another tank on the position of the dead tank. If you want to check the battle formation of your enemy, you use a patrol license where in you can check the battle formation of your enemy before engaging them in battle. Hope this helps

patrol license is good for now, but it will be a premium item later in future. try to learn manipulating your team, tanks will be tanks. what will happen if the tanks die? you hav to consider when your cover blows. using the D funtion will greatly help the party especially covering up the healers. as long as healers is alive, and of course your Hero, the party will stay alive.

this is not for range monsters though. they can kill those even mercs and Heroes at the back.

my main is shaman, but i hav archer as a merc. my archer usually kills monsters with effective range, good for those who move to the back after they receive a lot of damage. archers are also known for silencer with their skill, quite useful in pvp with buffers and healers. they may not have the same range damage as gunners, but their damage is far stronger than them.

Well, here’s mine, Tikboi is my nickname in AP2 class given by my professor during my college days. It has been used as my screen name by my classmates in some of my projects and titles.

How bout you?

there is a license for you to change your hairstyle

all of the game players experience this on MMORPGs. it really depends on the mood i think.

power grinding + slow experience gain = totally boring.

I tryed the game on 3 seperate occasions, I tried to like it... but honestly the game went bankrupt for a reason.

It may have a very small fan base, but that's pretty well it.

And despite what anyone says, businesses are in business to make money, not make social chat rooms.

My take:

Two thumbs down.

 

its not 2 thumbs down. you just found it boring. i fint it boring too, creating an instance where you can, oh what they say, AVOID being bored in grinding, is to use a chat interface. clever indeed. not really.
