Ryzom open beta

LoD254 · May 2004

I don't know if this qualifies as an illegal DL, but does anyone have a link to Ryzom open beta that doesnt require a subscription like to fileplanet? (US preferably)

try the ryzom website if you haven't already

I'm pretty sure that the only way to get Ryzom Open Beta is through Fileplanet. When I was looking for Ryzom beta that was the only place that I could find it. Sorry if this doesn't help you very much.

Oh, but just to let you know, Ryzom Beta sucks.

Its terribly bad to me because with everypatch of fixes come 10 times more bugs. One time the best weapon avaiable got bugged and you couldnt use any skils with it. Everyone got pissed, and lots of people had to buy new weapons until the next patch so they could use their gun again.

Yeah, but the game is supposed to be released sometime next month, and it's not even close to being ready in my opinion.

I tried it for about a week. Server stability was such crap it was almost unplayable. There was little to no content at that time. Travel was tedious. I found nothing fun or interesting about it . Though watching the movies and reading about the RAID feature, I had higher hopes. I un-installed.

Hi guys i started to play ryzom buts its really boring,
cause you are fighting very slowly and i don't think that is it what a game has to.

I think that the skillsystem is not the best.
You have to spend too much skillpoints in too less skills.

How do you see it???

OracleP4 · May 2004

So is there anyone out there who really likes this game? And please don't give us just, 'oh it's still just in beta' there are a lot of other MMORPGs out there that are coming out after SoR that are way more polished and fun, remember, Ryzom is scheduled for release in June! That's not very far away! Normally by this point you can expect a game to have basically a finished feel to it. In my opinion Ryzom feels more like it just began beta testing and needs another 3-4 months at least.

You don't need a subscription just a Gamespy ID login to download this file. After getting it downloaded you need to find the URL for getting your CD KEY, which they have a link to from the Ryzom website.

Ryzom open beta experiences...

Well when I logged on the world was pretty dead, I met one person my entire time on.

The best words to use is its still in an early beta stage as of 5/10/04, It was very laggy, I was encountering bugs like being stuck running , ect. Now when I beta something I do what a beta tester should do, "think outside of the box" but it just seemed way to buggy to do much of anything.

The one person I talked to mentioned how he mostly just crafts, I would recommend checking out the beta form on the Ryzom site tho, since those are the true testers....

My experience I wasn't too happy with it, and find it impossible at the state it was in can go live in 1 month. Which my guess is its going to be another MMORPG released too early and you gets lots of people saying "This game sucks!"

Mud_Monster · May 2004

i found Ryzom interesting and somewhat fun but it was way to laggy for me that i eventually uninstalled(the game takes 4+ gigs...not something i can keep around till it gets better)

Vipermmx · May 2004

I tried to like Ryzom but its pretty much a basic EQ with less. The world was bland and there was nothing for me to look forward too. I would say add more content.

No pet classes! = me no buy...

hehe

drlafond · May 2004

There is one more thing to add to Ryzom's connection problems. Apparently they have problems with linksys routers. After about 5-10 minutes I get booted. Well this can "SOMETIMES" (through other player's attempts) be fixed. Well yes..if you can get access to your router. I for one am in a student housing complex and they don't hand me the password and username to change properties. Plus, I can't think of any other game that has had problems with my router. Just annother tally to their poorly done. It does have some good aspects, but they are small in comparison to all the problems they need to work out (like super laggy mobs hitting you when they aren't next to you yet).

mrerzen · May 2004

Interesting, I had no idea about this. Hmm... I use a linksys router myself, and I also think its one of the more common routers out there. Never heard about problems with it, or noticed any posts on the offical site. Then again the last 25posts on the offical site where beta testers crying that they broke the game in the latest patch.

Funny how that happens so often.....

OracleP4 · May 2004

You know of all the comments here I really haven't heard anything extremely positive about the game. I'm surprised there was ever a significant amount of positive hype about the game because it seems like almost everyone who has posted here, including myself has had some very negative experiences with the game. I seriously wonder if this game will actually be ready for it's currently scheduled June release. Unless they can make some significant improvements to Ryzom over the next few weeks they're going to have a lot of very disappointed gamers on their hands.

What do other people think?

well I played ryzom last night for the first time, I had no real expectations for it, as i'd heard good + bad things from people on here.

Firstly, it took me an hour after downloading to patch the thing, which is odd considering i'd only just downloaded the client the day before, would have hoped the downloadable client would already be patched up.

Then I had fun + games getting it to run, seems it doesnt like openGL on my system, switch over to D3D and all was well.

When I finally got into the game, that's when the fun started. I only played for about 30 mins last nite (it was late) but didnt experience any lag or crashes like others have which is good. However, I think i must have been th eonly person there, in 30 mins I didnt see any other players around, perhaps I started in a n00b area and everyone else is exploring the world?

I did chat to the tutorial npc, wasn't particulary friendly, would hvae hoped to have been given a quest or something at the end of the tutorial to get me better aquainted, but nothing. So I figured i'd go do some "boink-boink on the head" to some enemies, good old F6 I assume, yep, although died. Erm, all the enemies around the n00b start area seem to be orange.. nice touch, can't kill a single one!

I don't like the interface, I don't like the font and I can't invert my mouse controls? Also redefining keys is a royal pain, no easy, click this, enter new key

I'll have another go tonight, but first impressions aren't that good, at least there's a nice graphics engine

Elram · May 2004

I was pretty disappointed by Ryzom. Reading all the info that they had on the game had me pretty excited, it seemed like it was going to be the one. But I really don't see how that game is going to be ready for a June release. As of right now, I won't be wasting the money on it. Unless I hear otherwise after release, I'll just chalk it up as another game with a grand vision... and little else. Got bit once with Horizons, won't do that again.

methane47 · May 2004

Well I actually l downloaded SoR like three weeks ago.. the first week i had it, It really Sucked monkey balls. It was just down right boring.. Lots of the stuff was unexplained.. It was just missing so much.. Then the second we after maybe 3 patches It got Really good to the point where I'd spend maybe 16 hours a day on the game.. seriously.. just partyin and what not.. BUT!!!! Sunday.. they started gettin the 10 min log outs and the constant crappy lag.. And they just came out with a new patch that solved many problems. Also made the game a lil easier for newbies.. but harder for higher lvls to lvl up... And now the game is empty... I like walked the equivalent of 10-15 miles!! and only saw maybe 20 people TOPS!! this last patch really made the game suck... but WHO knows what the next patch will bring....

It has potential... but right now that is ALL it is.. Potential. nothing kinetic.

I STILL LOVE IT THO'

Ryzom is horrid from a programmers stand point i was on the game for 2 days decided i liked the art the creatures were very lazily created but the avatars are impressive ANYWAY just so they will get an idea yhow easy it is to hack the design of this game

go to you client_default.cfg find hey looky the run_speed alter it from the value 6 to 25

HEY LOOK! your flash gordon in ryzom

this is so easy it can be done in any notepad in windows dont e-mail me if your to stupid to figure that

out but ryzom is crap its commercial release will be worse then when lineage tried to go p2p

Ryuun · June 2004

Well i like Ryzom so far it just needs polishing, but the idea is quite original, the crafting system is cool even tho you are spending too much skill points, but hey who cares. But i think EQ2 will be better

ghawiii · June 2004

The only place I found that had the beta for Ryzom was file planet.

I hated Ryzom. I just un-installed it today as a matter of fact. Just not my kind of game I guess.

My suggestion to anyone interested in it to make sure they have a free trial first...or been in beta.

phantium · June 2004

Ryzom is way to buggy, i started in first beta and it s*cked... no further explanation needed.

LoD254 · June 2004

Ryzom was horrible with how buggy and laggy it was. I had trouble moving, attacking and everything. I'm using a decent machine, and cable internet. I met all the reqs but nothings worked to well. I did manage level 2 after i killed a few green blobs. I uninstalled maybe 45mins after installing it though.

methane47 · June 2004

I started playing from the beginning of open beta.. It really sucked for me then.. I almost hated the game But I stuck through it ... after a week or two.. the made the patch.. And for the next week I was Hooked on the game... and I mean Hooked.. The game had beautifull graphics, cool monsters, cool landscape... amoung other stuff.. Then they patched it again... And the game went right down the toilet again.. It's like when you poo but the poo just keeps on floating back to the top after you flush LOL

I actually think the game has ALOT of potential.. But it needs alot of work

I tried it adn didnt care for it either but I sent them a e-mail with what all I didnt like as well as did like about it.
