• • Sorry to NCSoft

  • Sorry that you had such a bad time with NCsoft as a developer.

    I'm also sorry that you take such offense to the Bling Gnome... which is an awesome feature.

    As the lead developer for the game, I can speak to why we took it in this comedic direction.  It helps to separate the game from the pack of existing serious dungeon crawlers and RPGs.  The personality of the game also mirrors the personality of the dev team.  We're silly and we love making a silly (but seriously fun) game.

    We kept a ton of stuff from the original Exarch / DR versions.  Most of it was art and engine code... although the engine code is being replaced piece by piece as we move forward.  What we didn't keep was any of the game design.  The mechanics were unbalanceable, messy and thus unshippable.  We pretty much ripped out a great deal of the gameplay guts and started over.  I hope you worked on the art...

    It really sucks that Exarch never saw the light of day.  But do you really have to come here and air your dirty laundry to try and undermine the game?

  • Sounds like someone can't figure out how to play the game.  Sorry you're having so much trouble. :)

    Monsters don't respawn.  You have to reset instances.  This is on purpose.

    If you can't see the monsters, that's definitely peculiar.  Perhaps you need to have your vision checked?  Or, if they're actually invisible, submit a bug report...

    As for character customization.  The face / hair options are pretty light.  Most visual customization comes from the equipment you use.

    However, the three classes you see at character creation (Fighter, Mage, Ranger) are just starting points.  Any player can use any skill without restriction.  So, just because you start as a mage, you're not stuck there.  You're free to build your own class through using any skills and gear that you like.
