Game is worth it

[gimik09]

Ok guys,

I went out and bought ryzom having never played the beta. Ive been playing for the last 2 days and im finally lvl 20 fight and 20 craft. Currently making rifles and piercing ammo.

The game is great 1st of all. I veeeery hard to please off 1st impressions which is really where I base whether im gonna play the game or not. At 1st I wasn't too happy with the character creating stuff. You dont really have many options and the characters look pretty .. well blah. That changed when i got in game and all all the kool armor and helmets etc (which can be dyedand specialized with stat bonuses and much much more). Awesome stuff.

Anyway I made my guy ( matis with 3 crafter packs) and got in game. Right away the games environments stand out. The game is beautiful.

The turtorial thing with the welcomers is nice and they kinda hold your hand while your getting used to everything. They let you speak with each trainer and then have you meet with the corporals and merchants. Corporals give out missions and the merchants buy/sell "mats" or materials.

The crafting system is awesome. If you like crafting then definitly check out this game! Right away I decided to start crafting, I crafted a bunch of boots and gloves ( whatever plans my craft packs came with) and just did that till i reached lvl 20craft. Once I hit 20 I was able to get more in depth with the skill trees and pick what i really wanted to do, which is Rifle and ammo crafting.

They have a ton of crafting trees! I mean the possibilties are endless guys.. you do have to make some choices due to the fact that it does take a lot of time to lvl up each skill.

Well back to what I was saying. I chose Rifle crafting outa the many choices I had at 20 craft. I could choose pistol/rifle/bowrifle/bowpistol and im not sure if autolauncher was available.. i think thats at skill lvl 50 or higher. Anyway I went with rifle.. then i got to choose which ammo type plan i wanted to craft ( each ammo does a diff type of dmg). My choices were : Slashing, piercing and bashing. Each one has its positive and negatives based on the mob etc. Anyway this stuff is deep.

The combat is fun even though I used Hand to hand while leveling up my fight to 20 ( which I think is best since you dont gain exp in any particular type or weapon till 21+.. it just goes to fight no matter what weapon you use. Once you get 21+ it branches off into ranged and melee.. which branches off into melee - swords, daggers, polearms etc etc etc and ranged goes into Rifles, autolaunchers, bowrifle etc etc etc)

Anyway the game has a ton of possibilities.. so none of that stupid cookie cutter crap that all other games have. And each skill no matter what is viable. They all have a purpose, as does each crafting tree. No matter what you choose to do with your life in ryzom, you will be needed and you will be an asset to the world.
Ex = Warrior who didnt dabble in crafting needs to find a sword maker since he specializes in swords OR polearms OR daggers etc etc

Ex = Armor crafting needs materials that only someone with harvesting abilities can aquire etc

Ex = Gun user decided he would make his own ammo but he didnt wanna craft his own gun, so he needs to find a gun maker or vise versa.


Anyway the game is great! cya in game. Send me a /tell Nevlyc if you have questions or need a rifle made for ya =)!
