As a prior Prius player, I was excited to get to try out the new and improved version Arcane Saga. Immediately upon entering the world, you discover so much has changed. As is typical with most CBT's, there are bugs present and the content is not fully realized yet. The chat filter, as is usual with most if not all CBT's, has random words being censored that shouldn't be. But as I said, that's typical for CBT's and it will be fixed come launch. The mana regen seems to be lacking at lower levels, but once you hit higher levels (which you'll hit 50 pretty quickly due to the increase in exp at lower levels), you'll see the regen level out. With crafted gears and landing your combos, you can obtain the regen you need to sustain. Just remember to craft pots at lower levels. The new crafting system is centralized and great. As well as the addition of the combo system, though I wish the combos would land and proc more often. At this time, there is no Atrium for your Anima or a Giga. But those are things still in the works and will be released at a later time. The new character creation screen is great however there are those who miss the old styles and colors that are no longer present. The healer classes not having any attack spells is a personal deal breaker to me for playing that class, since I'm a solo player for the most part. But GM's seem aware of our complaint about that and may be changing them up in the future since it basically seems like noone is willing to play that class due to this. Overall, at early levels it almost appears as tho it's a whole new game to Prius veterans. Getting so many skills off the bat can be confusing to new users and a bit overwhelming to some. A lot of the Prius veterans feel let down due things that were removed from the prior version that they loved, however I am confident that our opinions are being heard and that the GM's are indeed listening to our suggestions and won't let us down. That's always a good feeling in any MMO.
I see nothing "different" there. In many mmos ( SWToR for example ) you have your character, plus a "companion" plus mounts plus pets. Not really unique in any way.
Well it's not derivative of anything but itself really. This game was originally out in Korea in 2008 and a short stint in US in 2011. As the pets are now, they aren't anything special per say but once they bring them back as they were, they could be pretty interactive.
Also, even as they are now, you can still view the world as your pet ( in this case a little girl ) and talk to npcs that only exist in her view. It's just a trippy game in my opinion, I dunno, I've always liked it haha.
I agree with you brandileigh, I don't know what it is about this game, but having that second character that you can interact and use them for specific tasks throughout the MMO. Though I still have to say is it weird that picking out there costumes is one of my favourite things.... I guess that is why my love for SL is so strong 0_0. I don't know why but my Anima always ends up looking like Sakura from Cardcaptors.
I have played so many MMORPG and this game is just one of the top. Prius online was awesome before and how much more with this one. Thumbs up for this game.
@Brainrocker hahah yep most MMO from 2012-2013 are gendered lock... but still the game is improved... you'll have fun like me hope in meeting you online
Well when Prius Online was shutdown... I know most of us were down.. but after a year Arcane Saga was introduced and I was a bit excited for the Testing., Now that I'm playing it.. I always lose track of the time.. Combos and Epics.. Recommended MMO try it
The game is fun to play but im kind of disappointed at level 50 with the 3rd job. Im playing gunner but the 3rd job has similar skills to the first one. Not to mention that the skills are a bit weaker but need more mana. lol? Please fix this1
I am so excited to see this game now in Beta! When I saw that the original "Prius" was taken offline, it was very upsetting as it was an enjoyable game. Then I heard the game was getting remade as "Arcane Saga", since I heard this, I have been following the posts just waiting for the Beta to start! Now it is here, and I can not wait to get exploring more!
Lots of low post count users here. One might think these accounts were used to talk this game up, even!
;P
Rofl you caught me there. I loved this game before but I didn't try to talk my friends or into playing or anything.
Now it's back and I figure if I tell people what I like ( and don't like ) I can't say I didn't try to keep the word out. It's all a complicated plan to get people to come and kill monsters with my stylishly dressed, green skinned hunter!

After playing it for four days, I really enjoyed this game. Been working between a lvl 38 Blade/Gladiator and a lvl 36 Gunslinger/Sniper. Still haven't done that much dungeon quests, but its really fun when you play with others.
Back to comment again after a couple days of playing. I'm right there with a few people, I'm disappointed that minstrel is pretty much just healer now. Hoping that one is changed. Also a bit disappointed that it seems like mana is always running low for most, and fairly quickly at that. This is still closed beta though, so hope to see some improvements when the game is officially out.
What's going on with this thread lol.. Here's a tip to the devs of this game. You should of at least made your fake mmorpg.com accounts earlier and made posts in other forums. That way you can more easily trick people into believing you
"You are all going to poop yourselves." BillMurphy
"Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone."
after playing since it came out, I am confused truly, but I am really enjoying myself im frustrated, because I cant seem to figure who I want to be. I think my problem is I remember prius vividly and I need to let go and see it as a new game. I think I will be able to play it to the fullest lol
After playing the beta, I've come to the conclusion that Arcane Saga is a handful of great ideas with some wonky execution. I think people who didn't play the old game will take to it much faster than Prius players will if stays in it's current incarnation on release.
Why do I say this? The way the pet interacts is gone and was what many considered an important part of the game. Gigas are not in game, yet ( big giant robots your pet can summon ) and the story is somewhat lacking. So if you played the old game, your going to miss all of that.
If you haven't played the game you are going to like the fast levelling to get through the BS noobish levels ( 1-25 ), easy crafting, job skills ( intimidating at first but handy because you get all skills for that job/spec right when you get it ).
Right now I think it needs to find the friendly medium to get old customers back as well as attract new ones, I will keep an eye on it to see what changes in OBT.

I agree with this so much. My boyfriend seemed to connect with the game much quicker than I did as he had never played Prius before. However, even he does not like the job system. I got him to download a version of Prius from another country, just to see what he thinks (with some help from myself since he can't read the language) and for almost everything he said he prefers the Arcane Saga features, especially with finding quests. But he did prefer the skills in Prius. I think the job system is wayyyy too limiting, even if it's possible to "get used to it". No one wants to use the same skills at level 70 as they used at level 1. It doesn't feel like there's a point in leveling up, no goal to achieve, no fancy skills that make you feel you just need to get a few more levels. The gigas and animas have already been announced for a future update, but I think the changes they make to the skill/job system for OBT will either make or break the game.
I can only say this game is unique. Combo skill or what i call them as tag skill is so cool, a chance skill once you perform your combo, it can rather give you hp,mp, reduction in armor, slow and many too choose from. so i think combo will decide the outcome of a fight. This combo system never had them on previous mmo. Really helps save money in buying pots and faster killing.
I looove the new customization. I could choose a pretty purple hair color for any style and new hairstyles that weren't available before. I hope they kept in the cosmetic boxes in dungeons though because I really liked one of the hairstyles from those boxes. Also I liked how you have the same color options for your anima, so if you want your anima to look like a mini version of you, you can do it. Or you can make the anima look completely different, too.

Well.. the closed beta for Arcane Saga finished not long ago and to be honest, i really miss playing it, if only it was only longer. But really there alot afew things that could be introduced back into the game, such as certain skills that was in the old Prius online. Other than that this game is truely one of a kind that really beats every other game out there with the intense graphics and teamwork involved in the game. Ive truely missed arcane saga and looking forward to the official release!

There is definitely something odd going on in this thread.
Makes you think there would be more posts within the 4th/5th day of this beta. I've seen more posts on other MMO Gaming sites.

"Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone."
Has anyone else noticed this latest trend?..
Some seemingly obscure title gets some exposure here, followed by 20 people really excited for it that have 1 or 2 posts total.
Always makes me hesitant to take it seriously.
