Wish Open Beta - Ur first impression's?

clinteastclinteast Member UncommonPosts: 159

Well i never recieved an email confirming whether i would get in tried logging and thought i would give it ago.

20 minutes later and i thought it was blah!  I dunno what exactly just didnt feel right.  I cant put my finger on it but the music was annoying in the background it seemed to be dark imo and for some unknown reason i could not cast force flame on some mob.

Normally when i play an mmorpg for the first time i got hooked straight away but this and eve online are one of the few that made me think is this it?

Dunno maybe my patience over all the years has worn thin but i just thought for the 20 minutes(yes i know its short) it was bland and dull. 

Anyway could be because i have been over dosing on rose online and going from a cutesey game to fantasy mmorpg has dulled my senses.

I would be interested in anyone elses first thoughts on the game good or bad?

    Great ideas, poor development. I hate the control and the battle.

    If your expecting EQ or WoW your not going to like Wish. Wish is a slower paced game. It's built for RPG. The game is fun. It's very well done and the dev team is really on the ball. The graphics continue to get better and by release i'm sure they'll be wonderful. The point and click style takes a bit of getting used to but i think the game is well designed for that system. This is not EQ where you get a group and grind exp. This is a game where you take your time and develop your character. Theres plenty of fighting to be had if you want it but to be honest i haven't seen to many people fighting and i've yet to hear 1 person say they were LFG. This game isnt going to appeal to everyone but its not meant to either. This game is designed for a small niche market. It will have a dedicated and warm community for sure. I'm planning on buying it. It's a nice change from EQ and WoW. When you want a different style of play this game will be nice to have around. I rate it higher than Eve-Online and its only in beta. It still has a ton of bugs and the servers are down alot but they patch it fast and the devs are amazing. This game is going to be around for many years to come without a doubt.

    Ya well, the control and combat system aren't fun at all, they actually make you go crazy.

    Theres no funny walking few hours from a npc to another to make some money.

    Theres no fun chopping trees and other stuff.

    This game its like a life simulation.

    Yeah you saw noone lfg because they tried to fight a mob and they said they will never try fighting again in this game. But i saw a lot of people running from a npc to another and copping trees for hours. No fun

    My first impression is that the server is pretty much ALWAYS down when I get home from work and remains down ALL evening, so I can fashion no true impression at all.

  • RegusRegus Member Posts: 489

    Yeah, i played now for a few hours too, got my activation email so glad that's over. I liked it but it still need some major improvements. But we will see some changes during these weeks and of course when 3.0 comes out, if nothing changed when 3.0 comes out i doubt they can finish it but I have high hopes for this game. it shows a lot of potential.

    Just got the feeling to be a bit lost in this game and sometimes the lag isn't bareable but that's because i just reach the minimum requirements image. With lost i mean, don't really know what to do, not that there is nothing to do (on the contrary) but i don't know how to get started, tutorial helped a bit but not really explained what to do with your trainer and how that all works. Server doesn't work at the moment that i write this but will try again later or tomorrow morning. They are doing their best to keep servers online and improve the game, that much is clear if you read the wish forums. I only got my sword skill one level up and that's it (ashamed) but will work on that later. Gonna try crafting too because you! can do a lot of that in this game. there is also some sickness that bothers the village where i am at.

    Hope you all have a good time. And the combat system is being worked on.

    One day all will die, surely you but never I.

    Stewey: "You Suck!"

    but seriously the game sux big time and i had good expectations on the game and it failed in the mmorpg area.  clunky controls.  bad things here and there.  lets just say good thing its still in beta.

    I thought at the first the game was a little boring too, but after I accedntly did a quest wrong and had already wlaked half way across the continent, I stumlbed on the Live Content. This is where the game shines, and what has gotten me really inetersted in it. If you havent experienced the Live Content yet, you cannot judge the game. The Live Contant tells an ever evlovling story, shaped by the players. It is very dynamic. Whole towns have been wiped out by an ever increaing plague, and cities have been besieged by a group called Order of the Nine. I dont know much about them but its known that one of them has a cure for the plague, and in order to get it players either have to defeat the one with it, or give in to his demands. This makes it feel so much more like a living world, it sjust great. And I would rather have a combat system like this one than one where you hit auto-attack and you can literally walk away.

    Wish has its own folder listed to your left under "Games in Development".  You can find lots of opinions there. 

    This is not a game for people who's idea of fun is continually wacking monsters on the head for hours on end.  Other mmorpgs do that better.  Wish aspires to be a real RPG.  No radars, no teleports, no levels, no random pvp, no static spawn points.  Just a massive, vibrant world in which to find or create your own adventures with GM's and other players.  I've only been able to play for a couple hours but I think Wish shows great promise.

    tried multiple times as the servers permited to like it

    the pnc was clunky at best, the merchants were unresponsive

    recipes were all gone and if that scare in beta i imgine live the same way

    the over head stuff in combat reminsance of horizons,

    lack of character customzation, i thought shadowbane was much better at first impressions then this offering.

    reguardless of beta only some things change before release this has a long long way to go at this point it is one that is a pass...........

  • herculeshercules Member UncommonPosts: 4,925

    Well i played the first beta they had and commented on it .But got assualted image

    I said back then that i know its in early beta but it needs major work.

    Also I noted the PnC was buggy and the pathing was buggy too.

    To my suprise I was actually pointed to an article of a review that gave full praise to the pnc and pathing system back then(shows not to listen to all articles).

    Well hope they improve on the game .It has a good concept.

    swg no matter what else ails that game has bar none the best character customazation i ever saw in any mmorpg, including hairstles, and sliders, that worked on chin, eyes  eye color,size, shape,

     and CoH was a ball playing with the various costumes

    tell me what sliders worked and responded in wish during customazation?

  • OrccOrcc Member Posts: 3,043

    Elves have a lot more customization options than human right now. Must thats character creation not customization. Basically any skill based game will have the best character customization, I believe UO had the best, then Wish and lastly EVE.

    I was in the first closed beta and swore then I'd never pay for it or play again.  End of story ;)

    Ok maybe your missing the point of beta. Beta does not mean 30 day free trial lol.

    Yeah things are broke. They dont even have the graphics finished yet. The tradeskill tools are broke. The servers go down a few times a day. Characters are going to be very customizable. You might wanna wait until they get the actual Avatars set to go since these are beta avatars. You point that things dont change before release reflects a companies lack of interest in doing things right and pushing a product before its right. I can tell you these devs are working their butts off and fixing things asap. I've noticed a huge improvement in just 1 week. This game is 5 months from its official release date and like many games i'm sure we can expect it to be pushed back a couple more months after that. That gives them 7 months to fix things and i have little doubt that they will.

    no offense to the game for I have not played it as yet... But from all the mixed reviews I really dont think that 5 months is enough to finish this game.... Seriously... Maybe they should take a step back like Ryzom did... They had their open beta... then realized the game needed ALOT of work... so closed beta set the release date back and tryed to fix the bugs... then open beta'd again... I think that is what Wish needs..

    Not from personal experience... I'm gonna try to get in soon if I can

    A huge portion of the game is done. If I had to guess, and this is a really loose guess, I would say the game is at least 70% done. And dont listen to the people that bitch about it all the time, because most of them, and they admit it most of the time, have only played it for a few hours tops and havent done anything except for a little crafting and fighting.

    My first impression of Wish is it is in 'closed Beta' and carries with it a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Writing opinions about Wish is in violation of the NDA.

    Bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD!
    But this the first beta after alpha. So there will be this beta, closed beta, then open, THEN release.
    I think that will take a year, so they have a lot of time to improve!

    Yeah deal with it, or else ::::15::

    Bah, I played it for several weeks.  The gameplay, combat, movement system, item drops, crafting and quests are all quite crude.  As I said in a post earlier, I personally will never buy it, or play it again based on my experience.  I was also unimpressed with the "official" board admin and their attitude towards anyone who displayed any kind of criticism, even non-flame or quite nicely done posts.  They think their systems are great and got pretty nasty with people who posted otherwise.  Just my 2cp, but I think you are over generalizing.  Also, they said it was 80% complete the last time and it still stinks now.  That was over 7 months ago...

    Maybe i am retarded but i thought open beta has nothing to do with the NDA.

    Anyway i dont intend on buying or playing the game again.  I have played games from as far back as UO to most recentley Rose Online(I am just saying i am not new to mmorpg games).

    Its personally not for me but others will like it.  I just expect a game to wow me from the start and unfortunately this for me does not have the X factor, but each to there own you cant please everyone.
