I like the combat a lot; it's heavy on the hotkeys but allows the use of the Numpad which I'm a chronic user of in Guild Wars. The combo system is cool; one of the few online RPG's that I think is truly dependent of your reflexes.

Graphics are decent. Not AAA quality but for a freebie I was pleased.

ENGLISH! I was happy for stuff like Word Wrap!

It's a brutal little combat clicker...if you love over the top anime-esque combat with huge swords it's a pleaser.

 

There are some things that annoyed me....pretty much despite face and hair customizations, everyone's going to be wearing one of 3 different styles of armor throughout the game (unless they have more customization stuff later on I didn't see).  There's a story and some good quests but a lot of it is still "Go kill 10 of these things"  "Go kill these until an item drops"  "Go talk to so and so".

So really, nothing new to the MMO world especially the free to play market. But the combat keeps it interesting and challenging.

Pretty much, but I'd like to point out that EVENTUALLY I think you do get different additional clothes, and other crud like that.

......+5 crap also looks pretty awesome, and as he said, its grind-heavy, yet the combat keeps it HELLA interesting.

....... And make sure you don't turn your sound off, trust me, you don't need to pull out your ipod/mp3. In other words, it has what truly matters, fun in the actual gameplay.

Lastly, the graphics start to matter less and less as you continue, because you'll be moving pretty fast half of the time. >=D No point in amazing graphics if you can't see em during the actual game, right?

So what do you guys think is the best class to play as for a noob on cabal online?

Not really sure how to address this except maybe Warrior or Wizard depending on your play style just because you don't just level your stats you also have to level your skills by using them.

Your skills are broken up into two categories: Sword and Magic. The game awards XP not per kill but per hit, so every time you use a successful skill hit against an enemy you gain some experience in that skill category; leveling it up awards you a point to improve your skill, and after so many skill points you get to increase your rank and unlock a new tier of skills.

So Warriors and Wizards, who focus primarily on one or the other, will acquire their skill points a lot quicker than, say, a Force Blader who uses skills in both Sword and Magic.

If you go the Wizard route like I did, I hope you have good reflexes. Don't screw up like I did my first day....in combat pull the camera back and isometric, don't use Melee spells and just repeat freezing/stunning the opponent followed with a couple nukes and repeat. Use the click to move to run circles and leave the auto-combat off because wizard melee damage is a joke with their fists -- otherwise you'll start to automatically charge at your opponent between spell throws.

Warrior though I used standard WASD controls and auto-combat and just charged in and bashed'em up.

Just my experience :)
