    Downloaded it last night and made it to level 10 (EU). I enjoyed it! Lured my girlfriend in to trying it today as well and so far she is enjoying it. I think we'll spend some time in it.

    It's not innovative - but it's polished and simply enjoyable. Very classic feature-set which i like. Nice and impactful combat with good animations and fun-to-use skills. Allocatable stats with all the numbers there for you to dig in to, and a very rewarding "gambling" side to it. 

    Extremely accessible and easy to get in to with good tutorials. My girlfriend is very new to MMO's and the only question she has asked me so far was "where is the dodge button?".

    I like that it has the old "Trinity" in the game as I like to play a dedicated healer. The stat system is done really well and I have to admit the stat enhancement is pretty fun.
    A very polished and fun game for sure.

    People really dont get that WoW is pretty much free atm lol. If you can't make 40k gold in game within a month of playing just to get a token then you're doing something wrong. You can easily make that just checking on your garrisons once a day. So why play a wow clone when you can just play wow?

    I tried it finally, and I enjoyed what I tried. The only issue was I saw literally nobody while walking around for the first like 6 levels. I'm okay with not extremely populated games but nobody at all starting a new character? I hope webzen advertises it a bit better and gets a community going because this could be the trinity MMO I could play in my down time.

    Because I am from Korea and it is nice for me to play a game like WOW but with an Asian flair
    I'm from Oregon (and not Korean or Asian) and it's nice for me to play a game like WoW, but better and with an Asian flare.

    Honestly WoW isn't a very fun game to me, but I've played a few clones that I thought were done better and a lot more fun. This game is more fun. That's why I would rather play a "clone". It may be built on the same template but the end result is different.

    The same question could be asked of any game. Why play any RTS when you could just play C&C. Why play any 4X but Civ5. Why play any game when there was one that started it all. Because even a clone has some differences. That's why we play different games in the same genre/sub-genre, to experience the developers interpretation of that genre and what they did different and what they did the same.
    I think it's because what everyone calls a WoW Clone, really isn't. They might be styled after WoW, but I'd hardly call any of them Clones.

    I'd say, that you are picking up on the differences and that those differences appeal to you. It's the same for me.

    I've played Rift and SWTOR and FFXIV:ARR. The labled "clones" but I don't think they are. They have commonalities but in themselves are quite different from WoW.

    WoW wouldn't even be a good clone of its former self.

    I would suggest looking at the forum of the game so many left and the ones who are still playing are  getting angry now and there isn't many of them left there was an update today it hasn't gone down well.

    I played Asta all weekend.
    simple to understand,no hassles at all,relaxing .
    Even the run of the mill same ol quests like in Wow are not as drawn out,you don't have to travel for miles to do a quest.

    I just like a simple relaxing easy UI game to pass some time away.

    Best reason why not play Wow,i don't like supporting Blizzard.They make multi millions of dollars and keep turning out games that look like Indie games,so they are not putting all that money to good use.

    Now if Blizzard was struggling financially so they needed to pan out simple cheap games,i might buy into but nope,Blizzard has a Triple A bankroll but puts out Indie games so they don't deserve to be supported.



    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Very nice game, i'm enjoying the pvp and pve till now but... few people around for now. But i found a good guild and i think it will take much of my (good) time.

    Yep im one of the ones effect by today's patch... basically getting to lvl 50 fame gives a random class (tradeable) weapon best in the game atm until they release lvl 60 content.

    From start of obt until today the battle ground daily gave 5k fame xp and after the patch today, it now gives 270xp. So what took 1 daily to get now take over 20 days to get same amount.

    This has given people after the first wave a huge advantage (first wave of us to 50... no one ever bothered doing bgs and the other faction was super underpopulated so queue never poped). 

    Ofc this upsets a lot of people as what has taken quite a few 1-2 weeks dailies... will now take people months. That plus public quests (offering semi-decent gear) only rewarding top 2 people tokens is really pissing off the players.

    I am lvl 48 fame atm and didn't bother with pvp while lvling and once 50 it took days to a week for bgs lvl 50 to start happening... it was such a huge mistake to focus on lvling up quickly.

    Things like this make you wanna quit the game.... especially when the ones who have weapon get to brag while 1-2 shotting people. I don't agree people should have their weapons removed or server wiped... but they should at least normalize everyone's fame xp to the new rate and put a fame requirement on the weapons, so everyone has the same grind to use them.

    During the installation it asked if i wanted to roll back a Microsoft C++ (?) file to version 8. It's currently version 11 which is preferred for ESO.
    Stopped it there.
    Anyone had a similar message?

    Agreed. It is in open beta though and changes are going to happen. The best we can do is voice our likes and dislikes to the changes being made. Regardless, it is a fun game and will only get better.
    They aren't going to do any more wipes and they have a shop open beta is just an excuse people like to through around i have seen private servers get better attention that Webzen are giving this game.

    Don't forget the game wasn't developed for Webzen to publish one of the mods on the forum mentioned that also that is why there is an I.P block.

    Perhaps not, but as someone who has played since last year I have seen changes made to the game. Both good and bad. To say they will not change things moving forward is not true. If we are vocal about changes we do not like perhaps they will make changes. Maybe not but we can try =) Think Positive
    I am not playing it any more i liked the game and enjoyed it but just watching people play it on twitch now.

    But i can still see gold sellers spamming chat in game btw no gold seller would stay around on a low population server unless someone was buying and if they are i can bet you they are using it on the divine spirit system or the stat enhance system forgot that used gold and both add loads of stats to a character.

    Lol, wtf are you even talking about. You can accuse Blizzard of a lot of horrible things, but the one thing you definitely cannot accuse them of is making "games that look like indie games." That is their one redeeming quality.

    Its like posting just to +postcount.

    I doubt this game is all that good. It's first look videos don't look all that impressive for one thing. But looking at the forums they're having all sorts of issues - people can't login to the website or game due to some strange error that looks like it's Webzen's fault and through all their games, people are complaining that PvP and PvE queues don't work (either that or the population is so low that they're not popping, which is also not good), one guy posted trying to enchant a level 50 weapon past +6 a ton of times and with a ton of some safeguard item purchased off the cash shop (like thousands of this item) and he has yet to succeed. I mean this was just a cursory glance at one forum and I got all of this terrible stuff. 

    This game just smells like cheap, badly done, and old Asian tab target themepark Western port by a company that notoriously does a bad job on games, yet leaves them open with small communities, terrible localization, P2W cash shops, and little customer support for years. I don't see any reason to even download this. Everything I've seen thus far about this game supports that assumption.

    It is an Asian Tab Target themepark. That is why I like it. It is not P2W. Not at this time anyway. 
    Tell me this thread is not describing an entirely P2W (and yet still failing lol!) gear/weapon enhancement system:

    http://forum.webzen.com/forum/en/asta-english/asta-help-and-feedback/1559833-looking-for-help-secret-enhanced-success-chance

    And you can get your gear up to +12 supposedly. So if he's failing this bad at +6, despite spending lots of money in the cash shop to do so, how is anybody else going to accomplish this? Especially in a game where your equipment can be destroyed. Terrible system.
