I was in the same boat as you working towards archer. I was mad that I had to play a class that I didnt even want but then I realized that most of the upgrades you do to one character carry over to the others.
BTW Im absolutely loving this game (and I thought Ide hate it)
I was reading on the main forum how most people who unlock the necromancer have not unlocked a lot of the abilities and talents so they really drag a group down and get kicked. Also that it is a hard class and hard to play well. Perhaps they should allow people to start where they want so that they can built the classes they want and may be allow only one choice in the beginning and one more for you to change to. This way any decision you make and even if you end up not liking the class you pick you have only yourself to blame. Somehow though even then people will whine.
Or better still since it is F2P charge for every class change. That will go down well
Have you done platoons?
Have you done distortions?
Have you done Invasions?
Have you done anomalies?
You complain that you are bored with the game but you are not even close to 5 percent into it yet. You havent even gotten god form yet and thats where the real fun begins right there when people start inviting you as your god form and you start wrecking stuff hard. Once you actually get into the real content and learn how to use the map selector in the bottom you will probably enjoy it more. Until then you are like the people who play an mmo for an hour and then complain it sucks.
Come on....all you need is like one or two really good protein shakes.
2700 prestige and already close to necro? Sounds like you rushed there and skipped some other important nodes. Such as coph, hot ether and another I can't recall. I've got some major bonuses. I am only about 250 away from unlocking necro (first class I'll unlock), and I have about 4300 prestige.
oh and not to mention you've slipped unlocking several new talents and a few abilities.
Necromancer is one of the weaker classes which is why they made it one of the closest to the starting 3. New people head there right away. Necro and Archer.
I'm at 4800 prestige and the grinds beginning to tell. Right now the lag is horrible and after two updates I actually think its gotten worse. Last couple days its been unplayable.
725 red sparks are left to necro, last 2 red nodes.
i took the Path the game suggested.
edit 27.7 > it was a mistake to do that
The game suggest a path on what sparks you have. If you went on your own merry way it may result in a spark node you can only get end game. On the other hand a the path suggested may not be an optimal choice of stats.
there is an offensive description for that phenomena, one you won't like.

"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
Nothing like playing it with some friends together though. Atm at 6k prestige and still enjoying it even though i do work full-time so not TO much playtime really.
Can see why people would get bored with the game though, very person-specific.

So first you say a casual playing 1,2 hours for 1,2 days (or from 2 to 4 hours a week) will not achiev anything. Then you rant about the weekly caps... something here is wrong.
If you can't commit a few weeks to unlock the class you like.. well thats not your game (or any mmorpg tbh)
That is not true Dren because they are the greater Atlas nodes that build overall stats and people can choose their own stats and the stats the game picks for you is not optimum nor the best stat path ,you just did not check the availability of each node resource which in all fairness you probably had no idea you had to do. That is lack of explanation in the game
Then there will be the Divine Atlas and another Atlas after that to further customize your character .What you are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg in fact many players from what I have been reading have been rushing to get enough prestige to get more and more resources to unlock their nodes to get to the classes they want . They have ended up in a prestige hole as a result and this results in terrible dungeon runs as the tanks cannot tank and the DPS cannot dps fast enough.
Honestly you are on training wheels till about 3300-3500. After that you unlock five man groups and the harder stuff. It was getting sorta slow but once I hit that with the difficulty spike, its been a lot better.
I enjoy a support class, but I'm working towards Witch.
And you are correct, when you first unlock a new class, you have like 3 abilities unlocked. IE you have to work up that new classes class atlas. So you shouldnt be running the high end stuff (top of your prestige) right away. You should do a few runs of easy stuff or the open zones to at least unlock class sparks.
Oh and Dren, you can still use different talents/abilities/atlas bonuses. And considering they are planning on adding a lot more classes, I dont think that many people will fill up EVERYTHING to be exactly the same.
Same here. Really stupid game design that will fail if they don't change it. It might have worked back in 2000 but today most players just won't put up with this crap. But like someone said its the Allods team behind this game enough said. In 2 months no one will be talking about this game.
Even if you are playing your Class you need to unlock other classes for there Symbols. Paladin Symbol is great so start with Paladin cause you must level this class for raiding and it doenst matter what class you are now or you will be.
Symbols are a great source auf Damage Alchi Symbol gives a damage Buff also a Berserk Buff, so you need to unlock them to and must progress through all nodes of this class to get the symbol.
Haha this thread is sooooo funny.
If you go to the forums, then 90% of the talks are around how Casual-friendly the game is, and how anti-hardcore-players it is! The irony
Realistically, it takes 4-5 hours to fully complete the colored sparks, and another 2-3 hours to complete class sparks. If you can't play 8 hours PER WEEK, and still expect to be "at the same level" at someone spending even 60hours per week, then you have issues imo. Aside from pure-PvP games with 0 progression, you cannot get a multiplayer game like that. Skyforge comes very close tho. It's not "my opinion", it's an obvious reality, that's what spark cap means, coupled with the Prestige matching system.
Now, if you want to complain how you do the same mission over and over, then I can agree of course. Skyforge fails in the diversity department, with very few mob types and generally the same type of attacks. There is some variety, but not great. Hub-based missions are their alternative to classic MMO quests, but not a great one, as Vindictus and Co. have shown. But the combat is fun, rewarding, visually pleasing. And 5-man Dungeons are challenging and cool (for the most part). PvP is also a blast.
Story is nonexistent or just very boring I'd say, so...don't go in expecting ESO or TSW quality of world immersion. But top of the line combat.
Im not a fan of how they start you either, but for other reasons. They basically give you a fantasic melee class, a fantasic range dps, and one of the best supports off the bat. My problem is, these are actually strong classes, however are seen as throw away starter classes.
They should have let you choose one of any class (would have made for greater class variety from the start) given you ONE atlas reset within the first two weeks (or make it undo two weeks worth of sparks) to allow one mistake correction or class change.
Anyway. The games content is distributed in a very casual fashion. I can play a game in 10-20 min and go back to work,... or whatever.
However the games content quickly moves into try-hard mode with the 5 man dungeons. Where coordination among members is required in the highest fashion as you would expect with some of the hardcore raid/dungeon mmorpgs. Which is not a good thing considering tools are not given to promote coordination among players...as half the server is BR the other half north American, and some SEA players mixed in.
Harder dungeons its a total DPS race, as there are no heals in game (ok one class gets a big heal on a long cool down) So coordinating all the DPS is vital, as the tank can and will hold agro but DPS will have to burn everything down, including bosses, before the tank loses all his HP, which can be nominally mitigated with putting some weak shields on the tank via some support classes.
The problem brewing is that one it takes sometimes several weeks to unlock a class, and there are already forming specific group requirements for pve...people are not going to want a slayer or monk in their pve raid...too squishy, its melee so they'll take boatloads more damage than range and burst dps is king...which they might have but have survivability issues in a game with no heals. So in a few weeks youll have people who finally get that class they wanted, only to learn its shunned from the content they enjoy. Meaning soon youll have a very homogenous raid/group requirement for both pve and pvp as some classes seemed 100% targeted towards pvp and or pve group content.
On top of that you have the standard issue pvp cry club who needs every class to lose their abilities that make them not horrible in pve, because its not fair in pvp to stun lock on a class with no survivability...which is their survivability...which is going to get patched out making them worthless in pve...ect.
Top it off with the first week the game was smooth sailing, they did their first weekly maintenance and all of a sudden...you cant get on the server, there is insane UI lag when in game, and it takes about 20 or so tries to get on the server without getting disconnected after waiting in a queue that shouldn't exist for paying players.
Other than that. I actually love the game, its fun solo pve, its fun grinding if that's your thing. Sort of like a mmorpg meets warframe with some open world maps tossed in for good measure.
I should add, only idiots cry about the cap on class progression, you can make your class OP with damage and health using the order mini game, which requires you to play as you would normally but for other rewards that wont get you closer to that class you want...
One thing I've found is that the EU server runs better then the NA server. I have characters on both and even though I live in NA I'm getting less lag on EU. A lot of times when one is down for maintenance or updates the other is up.
If you head straight for Necro you will have a weak character, players who worked several classes at the same time realize all those stats will contribute to any new class you unlock. Because it's a new class you won't have all your skills and will be gimped until you get them. So unlock the class, fill it's skill tree some to build it up, then play it. I have ll but one skill slot unlocked on my Necro and he is fun to play. Nothing like dieing, which makes you stronger, killing everything, then transforming back with full health.
Also remember unlocked classes don't have weapons so if you go into an instance that wants you to play another class, play it and get the weapons as a reward. I'm really enjoying Knight on my EU account, so far it's great leveling. I'm working towards Archer, 16 nodes to go. Yesterday I went to play Factory 501 to get green sparks I needed for a node. It asked me if I want to play as Archer. So I played as Archer and got a bow and the secondary weapon as rewards, and got to experience how Archer handles in actual combat. Which means when I do unlock Archer, he already will have a weapons set.

I'm pretty sure I choose the wrong starter class, I thought the lightbringer sounded great on paper. I should have done research on his abilities because I found it to be the most boring support class I have ever played. I didn't like the spammy nature of the lightbringer and combine that with high cooldowns I lost interest in the game.
I do plan on trying again soon, but considering I only got two choices of classes is pretty lackluster. My days of tanking have been over since vanilla wow, so really that only leaves me with one class.. The cyro does seem to have a lot of eye candy, I just hope that class isn't as spammy as the lightbringer if so then I guess the game just isn't for me.
