Everything in the game is perm, you keep what you earn. Hellish ride is one of the best looking mounts
The game had great potential at some point. Unfortunately, now it is only a huge cash grab.
To expect: temporary items, cash shop needed to repair your equipment at high level, 30 bucks per month just to play the game on par with the others (Warrior's Package and Blessing License) and, the worst offender, gamble boxes containing some of the best gear in game. Gamble boxes = 5-10 bucks to roll for two good items out of 20 or 40.
Also, some of the best mercenaries are cash shop only, the full deal (the mercenary plus books and upgrade gems) going for over 100 bucks. If you are really really patient, they have some cool events from time to time where you are practically "gifted" some premium items, but it's also a cash grab scheme most of the time, like mercenaries without books so you'll have to buy them from the cash shop, fishing contests where you have to buy bait from the cash shop for cool rewards etc.
Also, expect inflated prices on everything - many players have a ton of alts, solo farm raids and fully control the market.
Just saying these for you to know what you'd get into - on the other hand, I'd play a subscription Atlantica (where everything can be obtained by playing the game) as my main MMO, the game is great in its own way, considering that there is nothing else like it on the market.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
or
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!
It had a bad cash shop before as well, so Nexon didn't really ruin it, it ruined it self.
Nonsense, lots of things are rent only. One of the worst cash shop games period. Avoid at all costs. Shame as it is not a bad game without the cash shop idiocies.
90 spots is not very limited?
Are we talking about the same game? Only licences are time based but everything else is perm no?
Note it started, not "I started". Back when it was first released, you get 10 bank slots. The rest you have to rent....rent!
Seems like they learned lol. You start with 90 now, I would have quit with 10 lol
Any game that needs to give away keys to get gamers to try it is going to be a bunch of arse !
okay guys to clear this up. you started with 10 yes, but you had 9 characters ( main + 8 mercs) who could hold 10 each. => 90 slots. now you start with 90 slots but the mercs don't have their own slots anymore. there is now a warehouse where you can put extra items in for a very small amount of gold.
there are not temporary items except licenses.
all repair is for gold if you can craft the items. if you can't you can ask a friend who can( even legendary gear is repairable).
warrior package and blessing license are not needed, and you can get them with gold too. i asume you don't play the game becouse if you would you would know.
the IM mercs are far from being the best. you can get like 95% of the mercs for free from events if you actually spend time on the game. same for books.
the rest of your words show me that you have no idea what you are talking about so i will belive you have never played this game at all.
just because you CAN get the warrior and blessing license with ingame gold, doesn't mean that its feasibly affordable to buy everyone month.
and just because you don't NEED so and so mercenary or a blessing license every month, you seriously are gimping yourself too badly to compete or pve farm.
and you just created this account with 2 posts under your belt just to reply to this..
yes i only have 2 posts as well, but at least my account isn't a fresh account, its been created on 2007.
you smell and reek of a nexon employee/gm
I've also played this for the past 4 years on and off, but I always come back. I don't spend in the cash shop as everyone says you could earn everything in game. You make enough money mid game that you can enjoy the game with your guild and nation.
PvP is the only place you need to worry about gold since you need godly gear if you want to win Titan, but the game has to make money somewhere. Stay away from this game if you are lazy! Leveling 9 mercenaries is a pain when most cant level 1 character. Put effort in this game you will truly enjoy it!!
1. Not only there are temporary items (see all atlacong rewards) but there are also items that get DELETED - you participate in an event, you get an item labeled as "event", and at the end of the event, the item is deleted.
2. When you need repairing, you usually kinda need it "now". Looking for online friends (which you might not have) with high enough skill to repair (takes years or tons of money to achieve) is not a solution.
For non-players: you run around with 9 guys (actually, more, as you change formation depending on what you're doing) which wear 10 items each. These items decrease durability in time. Looking for "some friend" to repair a piece whenever that drops to zero is very very inconvenient.
3. Blessing license gives you 150% damage and 150% xp and 110% defense. It is mandatory for every serious regular player (except the whales who are usually strong enough not to need them).
The high level zones were created with the need of warrior package in mind. North America without teleportation is running 15minutes from the quest giver to the quest, while avoiding mobs in dungeons
4. Some IM mercs are great - when i left the game, Attila was the king of TBS (your main gold source), Vampire was in every pvp formation, Christine was in most people's team as a good all-arounder
5. Let the community decide who played more. I'm just here to warn people about what they're getting into. If you enjoy Nexon's tactics, good for you.
it's nice of you to warn people but don't do it with outdated information.
Where am I wrong , what is outdated? I've just wrote the truth - what do you want me to write? That Atlantica Online has changed in such a way in the last months (it's less than a year since I've left the game) that now the game is thriving and not pay to win anymore? That the solo raiders with 8 alts and the huge number of bots which inflate the prices on everything are gone?
Oh, i remember, they've "updated" the inventory so instead of having 10 slots for each merc, now you have a fixed number of slots - this halved my storage space. Awesome.
My favorite - if you buy NX from them (their currency) and you don't use the NX for some time, it "expires" and gets deleted?
Please prove to me that the game changed, and I'll be the first one coming back. I closely follow the game in hope for things to change, and all i see is just more and more gamble boxes and pure pay to win, as it always was. Anyways, to each its own, peace.
QFT, I played this gamer for a long time, I used to love the competitions in the arena, it was a good game but then NEXON came and took over and the game went to hell.
