Yes, you can adjust a variety of different graphics options in the game.

Downloading as we speak. Already got my beta key. :P

[Khachaturian]

Just by looking at it I know I won't be able to run this on my shit notebook, but have fun guys.

[viciousdead]

I tryed playing it the graphics are to advanced and slow my computer DOWN BAD  :lipsrsealed:

[Anna Comnena]

After FlyFF I don't think I'll ever go back to Gpotato.

[Marsh]

Why? bad gameplay or just the way they handle there games?

[Anna Comnena]

Little bit of both, although one of the main player-agent GMs and moderators (he had a funny avatar of himself dressed up like a gangsta) was really friendly and helpful. Yeah it isn't really fair as I like Mabinogi but Nexon is a bunch of losers XD

[Eviltyphoon]

Hmm, I might try this. Downloading now, already got my key.

I've been playing this game for 2 out of 4 of their CBT. This…game... is... EPIC! It's not a huge difference from any other mmo. In fact many people call it a WoW clone, though that phrase is used way too often  :rolleyes:. There are a lot of features I haven't been able to try yet, but so far everything is very well done for a F2P. The in-game UI looks better then WoW's in my opinion. If you do play just be cautious, the combat is very slow to start, but progressively becomes faster as you level. If anyone wants to join a guild just whisper me.

Hmm well i'm downloading right now, but idk if it'll be good. These guys made Rappelz and that game is the definition of mega-grind. Also, the translations are probably gonna suck d!ck…We shall see

[Lam3r]

Well after playing the game for a few hours, I'm happy to say i was wrong about somethings:
1\. The graphics are excellent.
2\. The gameplay closeley resembles WoW, as does currency and items. One flaw with combat however, is if you're a mage you don't have a default attack (you have a basic weapon attack, but you have to press the hotkey every time to use it, it doesn't auto).
3\. Lots of races with lots of different powers.
4\. The translation is very well done.
5\. Pets are actually useful in this game! My summoned scorpion is definitely stronger then me :D

However, I was right about a few things, and here are some frustrating flaws:
1\. Like I though before, AO is a massive grind fest. So far after several hours of playing I'm only level 5, and every quest I've done so far has sent me back and forth from council members carrying messages, and doing various tasks for them, all of which requires killing 8 or 10 or 12 of some kind of monster.
2\. The minimap is an epic fail. Why? Because there isn't one. There's just a double sided arrow that spins in whatever direction you're facing, I really don't know it's purpose.
3\. Fast traveling sucks. The map is rather big which is nice, but when you have to teleport back to the main area, only to be told to walk another 15 minutes in the direction u just were, it's a bit frustrating.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested in partying up or making a guild or something! I'm gonna be making all different types of characters from both factions so odds are I'll be on your side.

@Lam3r:

> if you're a mage you don't have a default attack

Lam3r no one has an auto attack in this game. At first It seemed annoying but I actually don't mind it.

@Lam3r:

> all of which requires killing 8 or 10 or 12 of some kind of monster.

Not all of them require you to kill monsters dude, you're exaggerating. I guess it depends on what faction you're playing, but on the Empire side once you reach the top of the city the quests don't all involve killing a certain number of things. I know a couple are gathering quests and discovery quests. Also, the killing quests in this game are nothing compared to some other grind heavy games. I've gotten no quests yet to kill more then I think 10 of a specific monster.

@Lam3r:

> So far after several hours of playing I'm only level 5

Trust me when I say it's probably because it's your first character. I complained when I first played that I was only level 4 or 5 after a couple hours. Now that I know the quests better after making my first character, I can get from level 1 to 8 in a couple hours. Though that may not seem to fast the level cap in this game is only 40.

I can ask if you want to join my guild "The Silent Warriors" if you want to join, I think they might be full though.

Yeah I realized the combat thing, and it is somewhat annoying but allows for more time actually playing, since u can't just auto pilot ;D

And I'm not exaggerating about the quests. I didn't say top of the city, but getting there requires several hours of grinding. ALL of the quests on both sides so far are kill 10 of this and deliver this to someone somewhere else.
And no compared to Rappelz the grind is nothing, although leveling is slow. And I'm aware the cap is 40, which i don't really mind.
I like how they copied D2's skill tree though :D.

Dear Marsh

I ducking love you

I signed up for this a few days** ago

Was checking my inbox every 5 mins for access to the closed beta and then i see this. YOU ARE THE ducking MAN!!

[Eviltyphoon]

Jesus christ, what a ducking retarded installer does this game have… First it install the game in C:/gPotato (not where I asked it to), then it puts the patch files in C:/Adobetemp... WTF... And when I copy them to the other folder and overwrite the other files it says the launcher is corrupted. And when I then try to fix that (with the tool I get linked too by the launcher) I get 7 more corrupt files...

[Marsh]

Sounds messed up, seemed to work fine for me.
