Gameforge please, why did you spent all those big money to buy publishing right for the Oceanic region but in the end of the day you refuse to properly support those players? What should we do to convince you that Western world aren't just NA and EU,

It's 2021, setting up servers wasn't like how it used to be back then. Now there's this thing called cloud computing, and I believe you are right now already using Microsoft Azure, what's preventing you from spinning up just single server for Oceanic players? And if in the end of the day not enough OCE players filling it up, you can just delete that server and migrate them somewhere else in NA/EU later on.

The non-existence of Oceanic server support is what drives away most of Oceanic players from playing your MMOs at the first place.

That avatar makes it hard to read what you wrote without laughing. Nothing against what you are saying, but it's that avatar lol.

Gameforge decided not to add Westcoast servers, while playing I was fluctuating between 160-200+ ping, absolutely unplayable. Got a confirmation that the game will NOT be adding Westcoast servers.

Asm0deus · May 2021

Nice...... only in beta and already all my usual character names "already exist".......

Some things off the bat hair colors only 5 or 6 shades of black....they need to add more color options IMO

No English dub chinese voice with eng sub only, hopefully we will have eng dub on release?

Doesn't look like there is a proper fullscreen or borderless FS mode either. I seem to be stuck in some weird border fullscreen.

EDIT: I fixed the FS issue.

Go into your game installation folder/setting and there is a GameSetting.dat.

Rename this to GameSetting.txt and then open this, you now see the settings. Change the FS = 0 to = 1 close and save. Then rename the file back to GameSetting.dat

Obviously do this while the game isn't running and when you load it back up you should be in a proper FS mode even though that option isn't there in the in game settings.

They are only running 2 servers which means they expect it to fail.

I didn't even bother scrambling for a beta code when they had them here because the game sounded like a fail, I can't imagine having paid for it. This will be binned in under 2 years I imagine.

I went in with low expectations, yet I was somehow still disappointed.

You don't need to do all that to make it fullscreen. You just change the resolution to "Fullscreen Mode" in the resolution drop down.

I wouldn't say it's amazing, but I've actually enjoyed the story so far (although it can get a bit confusing as to what is going on sometimes). The thing is, there really isn't any reason for it to be multiplayer at the start, and it's weird having 50 other people in the area doing the exact same solo quest that you are doing (and you can see them all). It's the same problem I have with most MMORPGs.

Asm0deus · May 2021

Welp not having heard much about this game I will try and add a few things I like about it even though I was super busy today doing window A/C maintenance/installation for my apartment.

From the little I have done of the the cutscenes look good even with my old crappy gtx 760, the music track is really good too. It does give me the feel of Chinese legends etc...

I like how easy it is to change from classic mouse control (you have to hold down the right mouse button to control the cameras) to action control which is tied to the left/right movement of the mouse. You simply hit ctrl to switch between them so no stupid macros needed to simulate action combat controls!

Can't say much more than this as I haven't done much yet today in the game.

It wasn't giving me this option at first but now that I have the game at FS in game I can see this option.

It might be because I am playing off a older sony 1080p HDTV as I have noticed some games have issues with tv resolutions.

Like I said it wasn't getting this option initially.

It's based on Asian hair colors. You can get different hair colors in the cash shop.

Played for an hour and got a refund

Well, it's a story based mmorpg but it's very beautiful and runs exceptionally smooth. The Art design is exceptional as well as the voice acting.

I do have to say that I hope they will allow us to keep the Original Spoken Chinese language.

However, since it is "story driven" it's not going to appeal to people who just want to skip all the story and head out and explore. At least about 15 minutes into it. Maybe it opens up more. We'll see.

Yeah I might not have stressed this enough but even on 1080p normal settings the game looks really nice and runs really smooth on my gtx 760.

Only thing I would like is for them to add Eng dub for voice, no need to remove the Chinese voice. Just make it an option.

Oh yeah, I absolutely agree, they should have English dub as an option.

I'll also add that the music is VERY good.

I've tried Bard and Spell Sword or whatever it is.

I also like the character creator as it gives a decent amount of control where one can use sliders or just grab the face and move it.

Sub before dub

Not really some subs are awful even in anime, these one are okay but they could be better at some parts from the little I have played.

Essentially statements like in the quote is like saying learn all the various Chinese and Jap and Korean languages/dialects so you don't need either...lol

lingceapuck · May 2021

For my taste the game is meh..played for 2 hours then stoped.I dont want to run from quest to quest hearing asian voices crying, agonising, or any other type of painfull sound that comes out of someone`s mouth.

DAOWAce · May 2021

"long awaited"?

I don't personally know anyone who was waiting for this, let alone mentioned its existence.

hyllyh · May 2021

Lol.

You're under the mistaken impression gameforge supports any of their players across any of the games they have mangled.

I think if you're ok with what it actually is, it's done very well. But it's very heavily story-driven and at least a bit over an hour in it's nothing but Story and doing a little bit here and there.

Haha, I have never played an mmo with less than 200 ping, and most have been a lot of fun regardless.

koyutakota · May 2021

have to say im enjoying the game even more so since im apart of a guild (this always increases the longevity of mmorpgs for me also have to say playing the game with controller felt great i was actually surprised that controller worked so well with combat. im much better at this game with controller than i am with keyboard and mouse
