SoR most amazing MMO to me...but I can't do this anymore...

It's all opinion...

But mine is...SoR has to be one of the most beautiful and innovative MMO's I've ever played. Original and alive...it drew me in and made me realize that THIS is what I wanted out of an MMO.

I'm sure not everyone would feel that way. To me though...SoR is exactly what I want from an MMO.

(All in my opinion)

Original world
Nice Graphics
Perfect Skill System
Excellent Skill Balance
Wonderful Races
Dangerous Challenging Enemies


For the first time in two years....a game made me go Worlds of What and EQ Who? Never thought that would happen (I'm in both those betas..so that helps heh)


I cannot...however...stay. Every day that I've played I've spent more time recovering from or working around bugs/crashes/issues than actual playing. I realize that my issues are hardcore because of having an ATI. I realize and SEE that they're working on ALL the issues out there and putting out frequent patches.

But I also see the rate at which it's coming down the pipe...and I am sure that it will be a month...or two...or three or more before I can play SoR without having to deal every night with CTD's, missing sap crystals (I don't craft and am not wasting my points on a skill I don't even know if they will refund), characters suddenly freezing in place and never being able to move, skills that don't work at all or work so well you can completely incapacitate monsters making them trivial, huge areas of inivisble barriers that make traveling a frustrating nuissance, items that degrade so quickly (for whatever reason) you replace them once (or more) a NIGHT, every region I go to seeing atleast 1 spot being camped by mages exploiting as fast as they can, imbalance in availability of resources in the different races' lands (I don't craft but this affects everyone, ya know?)....etc etc

I realize the fixes are coming. I DO have faith that Nevrax will fix this stuff.

Pfft if they can make a world as amazing as Atys...they can fix these bugs.

I just...don't wanna stay and play amongst them while they're being worked on. :(

I'm sure this stuff will be knocked out before the next thing comes along and grabs my attention...at which time I will of course return and ressume my trek to becoming a powerful protector for my harvesters, and a teacher of new warriors.

Until then...good luck fellow Homins...and good luck to the devs.

From what I've read on the technical boards it seems that the older ATI cards (or cards with older chip sets) are the main problem.

I have a radeon X800 XT pro and I still have problems. Don't tell me its cause my board is old cause its the best one out there. I have to turn all my settings down to avoid freezes and crashes like the person describes up there. I have tried almost every single driver out there and it doesn't fix the problem.

Could this have been fixed in beta? sure. If they had accepted me into focus beta. When did I send in my application for beta? way before everyone else did.

Somehow everyone else got in but me.

Want to know something else? I can't even change my preferences in this board because they got my account set with the wrong age. I filled out one of their forms to fix the problem but have yet to get a response, or fix.

Yes please do soemthing about the Mage's exploiting. I see it constantly in Dew Drops. No fear of danger, destroy everything in the area. The other night one even zapped a mob I was meleeing with.

As far as the Tryker imbalance goes that is covered in many posts.
