my characters face started to piss me off so i made a new one on other server with a less gimpy look lol

using melee (sticking to axes if i can, 2h sword doesnt look so good really and is really common) coz guns are like twice as slow, do half the damage, and you can only use shitty armour (guns blow)

went to staff party yesterday night, like 100 people there. got stopped by police on the way coz of lights but let us off with a warning coz ´li was honest =s funny coz i was ready to believe he had no insurance, the car was stolen and there were drugs in the back etc. hung out with val most of the night, was good, nothing too embarrassing, or i didnt notice.

well as you all know i upgraded with a radeon 1950 pro and also to 2 gig ram. WOW the card is AMAZING, and the ram has certainly helped a lot. but the card is ><

anyway so i thought i´d try out some modern games. i only have athlon 3200+ and of course midrange card/ram so didn´t expect much. but wow the performance i got was amazing, solid frame rates on high resolution and high option settings. i went so much as trying the demo´s hacked Very High graphic settings and a 1400x1000 resolution with crysis (altho obviously it was shite=)

anyway , well i dont play games and the best graphics thing ive played recently is some shitty free mmos. so i´m really not used to sitting down and seeing screens like this............WOOOOOOOW:::::::::::::?????? it was like photograph quality, like as near to realism as i´ve been, including my brief time on gothic 3 and morrowind

(screens from Call of Duty 4 demo and Crysis demo (not taken by me))

this is just godly insane =D and so shiny ><

as for the gameplay, CoD4 seemed solid enough. Crysis had a different, less clostrophobic feel to it and once i realised that it let me do different things.

like first i tried getting in a car on the beach and charging the enermy and then running away coz i suck

then i figured out i have a cloaking device and played like metal gear for a while. i snuck up and killed them then thought hey ill get in the boat this time and sped across the lagoon machinegunning everything and cutting down trees and people left and right

sseriusly the cloaking ability felt just like playing metal gear live action fps it was sweet =D

just a few more. in the 3rd picture you can see the RTS view. the view blurrs and changes to overhead and you have the feel and interface of an RTS, it´s pretty cool.

RF online ... well the screenshots i researched (not featured) looked a bit shabby and it came across as a pretty standard/crappy game from the website (although the best option compared to the other games available).

but seriously this game is a w e s o m e =D

o) RvR with 3 races - 1 magi, 1 technology/magi, 1 pure robot. i hate RvR style but this seems to be highly populated and seems like theres main events every few hours. there´s also standard pk i think

o) appearance customisation .. male/female, each with 5 hairstyles, 5 eyes, 5 top starter garments, 5 bottom starter garments, 5 gloves, 5 boots.. (not that these matter coz you´ll have new generic equip after 3 levels... except for the robot race i think).

o) sweet graphics. great effects.

o) weapons are... 2 handed axe, sword, shield, 2 handed sword, 1 handed axe, dual sword, dual axe, mace, bow, crossbow, gun, staff. Woah?

o) classes are warrior, ranger, mage and specialist (think these are hard-to-play weak crafter classes who can buy and pilot their own gundam .. if they can afford it)

o) you can use any weapon, skill, spec until level 40 (except for a few). but you have to start specialising right away because you need to earn skill points to upgrade your attack, defense, and individual skills. ie a TM system where you use a bow a lot so it upgrades itself. this has let me spent frickin ages trying out all the different weapons. twin axes are huge and godly

o) there are a shitload of drops. money comes easy once you get in the swing, but to begin with it´s hellish coz you need to collect and sell drops so you can buy bags to expand your inventory. you will be running back and forth to a shop to sell drops every time your 4 free slots become full

o) when a weapon drops it can be normal, vampiric, strong, great, advanced, intense, etc. they have various bonuses like hp absorb, increased dmg, hp bonus. i was swamped by these drops and it was well cool =D

o) really fun to play so far =D


(ps notice the guy in the 3rd screenshot... with the axe like 100 times bigger than himself)

just a few pix of my hunter on 2moons, for the hell of it. have 3x25 medials and 3x21 medials in my lv 30/31 equip (insane =)

cool thing about 2moons is every 6 levels you have new gear and it actually often looks pretty pimp (except for the mage gear =(

by chance i came across rappelz which is produced by the same people who made flyff and like 6 other games.

first impressions:

1. 1.2 gig install with another gig of patching
2. graphics are similar to those in 2moons, more special effects but less detail (2moons has grass flowing all over the place for example).
3. runs well on low graphic settings on my laptop
4. maps are bigger + less linear/more interesting than those in 2moons (i'm guessing...only seen the newbie area so far

5. you choose 1 of 3 races, 'good', 'neutal' or 'evil. each race has male+female character with 6 faces, 2 hair colours and 3 hairstyles to choose from.
6. each race allows you to join 1 of 3 professions: a fighter, a summoner and a magic-user.
7. for example, 'good' race fighter is paladin style, 'evil' race fighter is assassin style.
8. at lv 50 you then specialise in 1 of 2 subprofessions. 'good' magic-user (cleric) will become high priest (more buffs+heals) or bishop (offensive holy magic).

here is an OUTDATED list of skills
http://rappelz.mmosite.com/skills/as_3_2.shtml

9. other features: all characters can summon a mount OR a creature to assist them in battle. these level up with you and have their own skills and evolution levels. the 'summoner' classes focus on buffing their creatures and can also use 2 creatures at once, so are very powerful in lategame when their summons are more reliable.

10. PK. normal mmo pk, you can kill in non-safe-zones but after a few kills get massive penalties to your stats until you kill npcs for ages to get your stats back. there is a 'hardcore pk' server but the system is so insanely fucking stupid i wont go into detail but basically it ONLY detracts from the pk experience, and does so MASSIVELY.

summary:

yes this looks very funky =) the graphics are attractive, except when you zoom out a little the characters lose their clarity (but up close they're very nice). it had a MASSIVE patch this year to help fix balance issues.

reading the forums, it's kinda disheartening to hear people say that their class sucks (pk or pve) and that they simply dont use/advance a lot of skills because they are 'useless skills'.

i really wanted to make a 'good' race 'holy warrior' -> 'divine solider' (basically offensive paladin route) but unfortunately i just dont find the female customisation for that race attractive. the LAST thing i wanted to play was a 'nature magic' neutral race, but the chick is just so damn fine i had no choice =) i considered making a fighter but they seem to suck at pk. i HATE HATE druid classes (don't ask me why), and the 3rd option was the summoner (i hate summoner classes too). i'm still deciding what to pick but i might just settle with the summoner - apparently possibly the best class for pk, but long time before it becomes any good.

lastly, well i'm still contemplating the hardcore pk server. i'll go back and read more of the forum. but unfortunately i'm 99% sure it's worthless
