Anyone play this? It's free to play, which is awesome in this case because the add-ons you can pay for are merely cosmetic. The creators apparently hate the pay-to-win thing that other free to play games do, so they went with this method. It's kind of a diablo version of ffx+ffvii in terms of the passive skill system is like the sphere grid (only without having to find spheres to upgrade the nodes) and the active/support skill system is like materia. It has bugs, though, so it's got its issues, but overall is pretty cool. The worst bug, though, is rubber banding or slingshotting or whatever you want to call it. You are running around attacking enemies and then suddenly you or the enemy bugs and jumps halfway across the screen to completely ruin what you were doing. It's most annoying when it happens to a mage or archer and they find themselves in the thick of battle instead of on the edge blasting away.

Oh, and though I play the single player only, apparently there can be pvp and also party forming for pve.

I played it when it first came out and really enjoyed it. The difficulty got gradually larger as I got through the acts, and by the time I was at the end-game, I kinda lost the drive to continue playing as it started becoming a little too difficult for my built :/ A lot of people contrasted it as the true Diablo III against Blizzard's own, and I can see why.

There are certain bosses where it's just about too hard for me, too. On Cruel (beat the game once, play again from start with levels and gear etc) it took me 30 portal scrolls to beat one boss, or maybe 40. My build is just to mess around, though, as the Witch is doing pretty much everything instead of focusing. Minions + axe chopping + fireballing + trap laying. Way stupid, but way fun against mobs. But yeah, the big bosses are just crazy, and there are people who go through this thing on "hardcore" where if you die you get kicked back to regular and they actually get through the game 3 times and play the bonus maps. I have no idea how.

I tried the beta back a year ago. Thought it was alright, but I didn't end up going further than early Act 2 in Normal. Made a Marauder and a Duelist then.

I did get the game when it came out but I must've been playing either Shadow Warrior or Pokémon and lost interest in the ladder since I was a month late. Then I lost interest as a whole until the next reset because some items are ladder exclusive. The currency was also rather annoying, though not as much as Diablo 3.

I really want to like the game a lot but the ladder system annoys me due to exclusive items and I played so much Eastern Sun that I have trouble playing anything else. Even Median XL didn't interest me for long, partly because my Barbarian was a fucking pussy who could summon arrow towers but not fight well at melee. I'll probably restart that one eventually if I can get PlugY to not fuck up too.

I played the beta for months... but haven't even finished normal since release. I mean, I spent most of last year playing it, my backlog won't finish itself.

But I've been playing races. I'll probably play a bit during the One Week Domination race that begins tonight, even though I've already gotten all the rewards I wanted. I really should have saved them all for the next 4-month leagues... I barely played any Domination/Nemesis after all

There aren't very many exclusive items, though. And I noticed there was at least one (maybe two) exclusive item from the previous 4-month leagues as rewards for this season's race - and you can get those rewards in any regular league of your choice, as long as they've been up for at least one week.

Oh, and though I play the single player only, apparently there can be pvp and also party forming for pve.

There are guilds now too, though they're kind of a paid feature afaik

i hate the last difficulty mode with a passion because i'm bad at movement in these games

yay for desync

i'm lame and use scion spectral weapon + multiple projectiles

I always race with a ST scion (them early resist nodes), but seriously

Scion was a terrible addition to the game

She gets exclusive rewards (notably Spectral Throw)

Kills the versatility of other classes by making the center of the tree harder to go through

Obsoletes witches and shadows, from what I've heard

Talks way too much

Displays her ass as her signature move

etc.

already made this thread under multiplayer lol. but yeah, I play. Add me @Kirielis

oops. Then this can be for single player. I mean, yeah, it's also MP, but there's lots of fun to be had in single player.
