Question about Horizon


When did Horizon decide to go force group? I read this http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/457/457158p1.html
<sniff> is it true ?
There only few thing I can not stand and force grouping is just about nr.1 on my list. I feel like a little child which is hungry and it’s full plate just been picked up and carried away ;(
Anyone know any none force grouping MMORPG coming out?
UXO will be soloable? And mythica ½ soloable? Any other mmorpg? <looking desperate left and right>

    dont worry psibot. the part about force grouping was just the beta testers opinion about what he thought was gonna have to happen. in many other dev. chats the dev. people have made it clear that soloing would definently b possible. think about it, what happens when a group of undead comes to destroy your buildings on ur land? u definently dont have time to form a group to fight em off, so u have to solo. this would mean that soloing is possible everywhere. cuz the game eventually would fall apart if people couldn't single-handedly defend their land.

    Dont worry bout nothing. Horizons will be the best game. I'm so excited!!!!!

    HOPE I HELPEDimageimage

    thx for the soothing my worries your arguments look sound. I  am so waiting for an new good mmorpg and been largly disappointed lately.

    But when I heard force grouping it gave me the shivers my exp. with such game dynamics have overly been very bad. My error in reading this articel was not reading the statement as an logical consequence but as fact stated.

    Thx for pointing that out I am awiting Horzion in old joyfullness.

    i know what you mean. i have had HORRIBLE experiences on EQOA with grouping. that is the ONLY way to play that game,and its partially why i stopped playing it. another good thing about horizons is the class freedom. you dont have to stay forever as a weak lil wiz whos always getting killd cuz u can switch to a beefier class whenver you want.

     

    I plan on playing as a gnome caster/scholar. if gnomes HAVE to wear glasses, then ill b saris. all gnome pics i have seen have shown em with glasses, and i think that looks so dumb!

    That funny I read an offical beta articel where a player said quote:” The current plan is for my gnome to be a monk this time, since gnomes get a boost to attack speed and evade.”<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

     

    Now I am just imaging ang gnome monk with glasses hmm rofl now that something sick I’d maybe could fancy hehe

    What do power and focus relate to? Are they about casting spells?

  • psibotpsibot Member Posts: 254

    well since I am not in beta I only can tell you what I read in Official articles and most info is vague and ever changing over time...

    It seems Power will influence a spells magnitude and focus sort heightens the chance spells hit the target. But power and focus have been hinted to have more roles also influencing melee skills but I am not sure about that one and I could have been misreading...

    I found this in the FAQ

    Strength relates to physical prowess (damage dealing as an example)
    Dexterity is the attribute of physical movement (chance of evading for example)
    Power relates to the magical strength; the ability to create scope of magic.
    Focus is the magical ability of expressing your magical will against an opponent.
    Health determines how much damage you can take before falling over.

    personally... i will not be getting this game....

    I was in beta and i am not to fond of how the CHARACTERSR RUN omg!

    Plus fanasty.... well i am sick of Elves etc etc etc

    Don't you find everytime you play a new MMORPG the way the charcters run looks strange.  I doimage

    The only game I've played that I didn't think looked right was Lineage 2.  The dark elves run with their top half (of their bodies) at 90 degrees to the lower half.  Most strange.  Play Horizons a bit longer and the running won't appear strange to you after a few weeks.

    Interessing I learned something new. I only can say different people different criteria I thought I was somethimes quite too demanding of what I expect from an MMORPG.

    But if your sick of High Fanatsy its obvious you won't like Horizons but there is good news for you there are quite a few alternatives coming down the road each with either own unique flair. I think we will see those do well too. So cheers to your health and Ihope you get well soon and cured of your elfes.
