Man either your not trying or mmorpgs arent for you. I can get level 10 within the hour. Its not hard for you now than it was two years ago when this game came out. Those days are long gone. Doesnt matter what you do to improve this game , you are still gonna have haters on here posting that the game is too grindy or pay to win or its a cash shop issue or its GIpat blah blah blah blah. Get lost!!!! For all those who are thinking about playing this game should give it a try. You will see and enjoy the game.

Well, i did play this at launch, didnt last to level 10, i was playing another game at the time and it didnt lure me in.
I heard about the cash shop getting out of hand, and then heard they toned it down.
So i tried it again. Was initially semi-impressed with the games quality. It got incredibly boring around level 10.
Its got a very small community, and its a pain to get any group early on. The quests in the first city involve a lot of very boring tasks, usually killing stuff thats right in front of the NPC...its a huge city, you run super slow and akwardly, and the whole setting loses its charm quickly. Its a well done world but still i found myself getting a huge urge to get some scenery variety. My options were to run a dungeon i couldnt find a group for, or, grind mobs with a tiny backpack that fills very fast. Also theres class issues...
theres seemingly a ton of classes, though theres really 9...all seem to be both interesting and unfun when played. Its an issue because i keep wanted to try this interesting class i just saw, but i am sick to death of this area and dont want to level here, when i try the class it is kind of boring to play despite looking cool and interesting when i saw it.
All character movements and animations are stiff and akward, but this is a minor issue for me.
I do love the stat system. I kind of like the simplified skill system, your not flooded with skills, however it leads to a very boring rotation that wears thin while grinding. But the stat system is great.
I like the concept of their rune system, but with a cash shop it does make the concept more a cash cow and less interesting.
Its a complex game as far as character builds, which may lead me to suffer though the first area. Not sure if i want to stick around. It seems pretty quiet and dead.
I will say it does seem 100 times better than the first time around and the cash shop is not as bad as i heard it was back when they drove the community away.
This would be a good game to play while you wait for some AAA games to launch.

(any question in my reply is rhetorical just FYI)
Since this thread is about " Gaming Experience you should not miss" = ASTRAL and Not your personal experience of the game I fail to see how on earth your post contributed to the topic what so ever...
But since my time was wasted I figured I'd reply... Everything you complained about the game is exactly the same thing in EVERY single MMO on the market currently. Either you do not like MMORPG's or you complain about all other MMO's about the same things. It is not different then any other game in its quest system or even its skill system I don't see how this game is any different and I've played nearly all of them. WoW and any other game released in the last 5 years is nearly the same thing. Mage, Healer, Warrior, Paladin, and other casters same ol same ol. Go kill 20 wolfs, Bring back 15 Bear claws, Blah blah blah.. Same same same.
"All character movements and animations are stiff and akward"
The comparison of movement mechanics, I have to ask what in the world are you comparing it to because its as responsive as any game out. Its very similar to the movement mechanics of WoW and anything else. Way better then RODE online and a few others. So please what game do you consider better in this regard? (Incase you didn't follow the topic in this paragraph is Movement mechanics)
This thread is NOT about the entire game or even someones over all experience of the game. I do not understand what is so difficult to understand about that.. Its about ONE experience in this game PERIOD the astral thats it. This thread is not about your personal experience of the game its about the ASTRAL... Holy crap let me say it one more time, because it seems to be over looked, ASTRAL!!!!
the game is not boring, i just get bored when i never find people around so i cant do group content. It took me a good chunk of time to get to lvl 10 (that was when the game started in US that exp rate was very very slow) never played again since then. It feels different now and exp is faster. Actually ive been logging in a few times and fine many people on the League side, but i prefer empire and its more empty so yeah, i rarely find people to do group quests at any time. I joined a guild but all are high levels. I dont like to skip group quests, they are kind of fun and give nice rewards.
An Allods infomercial.
Hey, Kingarthur. Nice to see you again
I'm glad you're pleased with the Astral experience. It's nice how one can now complete a quest that reduces the time it takes to build a ship, so that it just takes a matter of days. It helps players reach the Astral experience quicker and help them experience one of the unique aspects of the game.
With that said, it would be nice to introduce the Astral to players even sooner than the level 30s range even though it's end-game content. We've made suggestions to the developers to allow players to get a taste of what the Astral is all about even if it's some form of tutorial.
As with every patch, the Astral is always changing to make the experience engaging by adding new content and re-working current mechanics. Something we will see in a future patch is increased Astral PvP. There will be incentives to get people in the Astral and fight against each other which I'm excited for.
I'm sorry, but is this guy being overly sarcastic with the love for Allods given that he has GW2 signatures & stuff?
Seriously, the guy is even "praising" EVERYTHING that is horribly wrong with Allods. AM I GOING INSANE HERE, or is this person trolling so hard his/her eyes are turning brown?!
@___@?
The Theory of Conservative Conservation of Ignorant Stupidity:
Having a different opinion must mean you're a troll.
Read the post again. He's not praising Allods for the stuff that is wrong. He acknowledges those things. His post is about the Astral, which in his opinion, is what sets it apart.
Op,
No.
Allods Online = WoW Clone...
Rifts = Wow Clone...
(Random online game name), mostly = Wow Clone...
If I wanted to play a crappy theme park game, even for fun, I'd just play wow.. /sigh
Argh, when Allods was first released it literally looked like WoW too.. fixed? What online game, since 99% are not MMORPGs, has ever been seriously fixed/patched/corrected by the developers after relase?
Answer: ZERO!
They don't fix them! So no, I don't believe you, and even if I did and I felt compelled to play it, I would just resub to WoW...
How do you know this? Have you been actively playing, and keeping tabs on, them all? I suppose you could interpret "seriously fixed" = complete rewrite, from the ground up, and then you could be right. When you claim that nothing is ever seriously fixed/patched/corrected, you're just wrong.
made changes to the original post to make it easier to understand...
I love how everyone says "every game has linear quests and you are doing the same thing". This is obviously not true as I can play games with similar quest mechanics and easily point out which ones I like and which ones I don't based on questing alone. For example I point to WoW and Lotro as having fairly decent questing for themepark games. EQ2 and Rift would be in the medium category. And every F2P left, such as Allods Online, Aion, Runes of Magic make questing a dull experience and don't capture the right essence the other games I pointed out, have.
Sorry, I tried to play Allods and it bored me to tears and I stopped playing around level 12. Just lost all desire to grind quests/mobs in that game. Aion suffers from the same problem, putting their Abyss at level 25+. So dumb putting the bread and butter of the game way beyond the boring and dull parts.
Is this a fucking joke? Please someone tell me it is.
Burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice...
No thanks. Been there, done that (two years ago). I sincerely hope Gpotato is paying you to defend a game they seemed so eager to run into the ground.
Cheers!

You can be upset about what happened over a year ago, but you don't have to blame Gala-net for it. The word is that mail.ru is the culprit that forced the dreaded patch without much of a way to soften the blow. If only they had been able to wait till more patches were ready before rolling 'em all out. Mail.ru thought it would be a good idea to try. We all know how that went.
Careful I got a temp ban for posting more or less just what you did, in an Allods "advert" thread just like this one.
"I understand that if I hear any more words come pouring out of your **** mouth, Ill have to eat every fucking chicken in this room."
haters goona hate * is correct use of the word
i think he got one
