• • Should i sub

  • Level 50 on normal mode, to be honest not terribly sure as I'm still progressing at a casual pace.

    I know many claimed a few days of straight playing, others months. What I can say is expect beating the game at roughly mid-20's to 30's, which will unlock the other modes.

    As far as the subscription content....I personally love the Stonehenge area but I'd say wait until 2.0 hits (hopefully before the end of July) when they add the Abyss chronicles, and give it a spin then. There'll probably be a lot of people coming back to Hellgate, and others just getting around to subscribing for content then, so you'll find people around your levels.

     

    At the earliest, wait until you make it to the Templar Base before subscribing since that's where the portal to Stone Henge is.

• • What set Hellgate apart from the others..

  • Well if it's of any merit....Hellgate, while not the game you're wanting, is still more of an action FPS-esque game than WoW. It may still have spells and levels and skill trees, but you're still controlling every sword swing, gunshot, grenade toss based on your reaction time and clicking the mouse.

    Yeah, it's doing a dice roll for every bullet shot. But I have a gun that fires 600 shots a min; it's not a hotkey spam, it's holding the trigger. Targeting isn't who I have selected, it's freaking aiming the cross hairs at the target. If he moves out of the way, I'm not hitting him.

    If you're still curious, I recommend either Youtube vids or downloading the demo yourself.

    But if it's not your cup of tea, that's perfectly cool.
    You just might wanna try a different forum then for the game you are looking for, whatever that may be. Who knows...maybe modern tech isn't ready to handle the MMO-scale FPS like you want. Maybe COD4 and BF2 is the closest we can get.

• • Retail box?

  • Picked up the Retail today. I've played DR off and on as it was getting polished. I loved the original game I got invited into...I loved seeing everything else evolve and stabalize.

    It's great to come back, and find myself actually laughing out loud at the littlest things they added. My favorite being the undercover guy in Algernon, wearing the paper sack mouse mask and card board tail. Freaking priceless.

    Glad I decided to just start all over again...seems a lot was added even to the newbie areas.

    Looking forward to the next 6 months.

    PS -- Ripper, glad to see you're still lurking here.

• • Wtf? No Diablo 3 Info on MMORPG?

  • Today they scream going OMG WHY ISN'T IT ON HERE.

    Tomorrow they cry OMG THIS SUCKS IT'S NOT AN MMO I HATE IT.

    I think we need to start OARPG.COM (Online Action Role Playing Games) for all of us who love the pseudo-MMO's and non-massively multiplayer RPG's as well as games like Rakion and Exteel....just so we can instantly trim the "OMG IT'S NOT AN MMO."

    Oh wait, people will see Mythos' Overworld content and go OMG IT'S GOT PERSISTANT WORLD ZONES IT'S AN MMO and flame it there. Nevermind.
