Ryzom

You're probably right, but keep in mind that with MMOs, 'going gold' doesn't mean as much as with offline games. Balancing can continue right up until the moment of release; you'll just have to make people download a patch before they log in for the first time.

See, what did I tell you. ^^ Thanks!

I think our forum is based off one of the more popular generic web boards. That said, I'm definitely not smart enough to use it-- where, oh where is the menu that lets me have a signature? Everyone's going to be chasing each other's tails by the end of this month. SoR people are going to WoW and EQ2 ...

No, the original poster is a level 50ish melee fighter on the Tryker mainland.

o.0 Did you get a lot of xp leeches in FFXI? I had more trouble with people who were really incompetent. Like, really really bad at playing their job. Never had someone try to join a group and idle out... but hunting was definitely a challenge and I think most groups would have booted them ASAP ...

Melli dear, you can't just say that it doesn't show a lack of developer forsight. Ryzom was in beta for a good long while, and if anything Beta Testers tend to be more obsessive than most.

Two Vigorous Cloppers took me out in a matter of seconds while I was just outside Fairhaven.

Hah, me too. First things I attacked after buying back my melee skills.

Hi Melli, I'm curious. Why are you so positive that the devs know what they are doing? This game *was* in beta before retail, and furthermore it was in beta for a very long time. I don't think the game magically became easier when it was released, so obviously the devs should have been able to see ...

Don't say things are hogwash if you HAVEN'T PLAYED YET and he HAS. Your notions of what the game was do not apply any more; he is not talking about exploration BEFORE the patch, ie when YOU last played. It used to be reasonably easy. Now it is not so much. They did drastically increase aggro ranges ...

Yeah-- what wealth of options was that, again? If you ignore the completely worthless 'Aim At' stanzas, any one fighter (who presumably has only one weapon type leveled) has pretty much three options: Damage, Accuracy, Ignore Armor/Bleeding/Slow. Plus Auras and some other skills that don't seem to ...
