  • Kudos to Funcom for opening new servers along with the merges. I expect the fresh realms will be quite popular.

    That's great. They have a fixed camera where you can't see shit and don't want to make it adjustable at all, so somehow this is now a good thing.
    Yep. I can see just a tad bit of bias in this review. {insert sarcasm}
    Next this reviewer will tell us all that the game freezing up and crashing your PC is a good thing, because it means that every player has an even chance of standing there letting a player get revenge on his avatar who is stuck standing there helpless in the game while his previous victims come up and attack and kill him freely.
    {sighs}
    Sounds like a sales pitch of an unfinished, broken game to me. But yes, I am happy as hell this review isn't biased at all or anything! lmao.

    Call me as you wish. But just stop and think for a minute here. A "fixed" camera that cannot be adjusted. How fantastic will this work? First we have to assume that we actually ever play this game. So here we are with the camera fixed in a position that shows us an angle that works fine and shows what we want to see right in front of us. Cool.

    Then we start to move and move up or down a slope. Now imagine this un-adjustable camera in its fixed position either showing us the sky or the ground and we cannot adjust it to see anything. Not anything behind us, nor anything in front of us. Truly advanced alright. Sounds like great fun, I can hardly wait to play now!

    I think you have misunderstood. You can aim up and down (as mentioned in the article), but you can't spin the camera around and look behind as your running forward.

    I imagine it will play very similar to a FPS, but the camera will be just behind your head instead of inside your eyeballs.

    Yes, I am sure.  The option is greyed out when you're on those 26 servers.  I just tried today on all of them, as research for a discussion on another message board.

     

    You cannot make new characters on them.  They are shut down.

     

    When they are shut down Im sure it will make the news. Your saying that not being able to make new characters = shut down, but that isnt the case. If i can log onto a pre-existing toon and level, how is the server shut down?

    I don't think there's anything wrong with the combat system actually. The main problem is this game was called dead by so many people that it'll probably never have a big community. I have reached level 21 so far without having to grind one mob. I'm pretty sure there were updates that added quests and stuff. I have not found anything wrong with this game despite it being quite empty on my server (Hyperborea).

    You have just come to the end of what is by far the best content in the game. As you push forward you will slowly have to start grinding to fill in the quest gaps. Hopefully what they have added will allow to avoid mob grinding if you choose, but they would have had to added a damn lot of quests.
