Not really. There's two servers for the East Coast and West Coast. Also the only thing that's useful to spend real money on is more inventory space and even then it's not worth it. You'll be fine.

edit: Also Youtube link for Karok.

Man, he looks so overpowered :lol

I just don't feel like starting over another character from beginning. Already did Evie as my second... having a third is too much.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Even having a second is too much. I basically log on to my Evie to spend the AP and then switch over to my main to actually play. :lol

Karok wrestling a fucking bear is pretty awesome though.

Karok looks even slower than Fiona though. I think that'll balance him a bit.

Still, I don't like his face. He looks douchy. I was hoping for either generic rage (yes, better than douchy IMO) or gentle giant.

I don't get the whole underwear thing. Chances are, you don't want to be running around in your underwear unless you're going to just play the tutorial dungeons.

It does somewhat 'help' for some outfits where the armor shows off less than the underwear. Sweetie bear for Evie for example

Would totally buy some NX right now but charging through their site or PayPal denies my account and cancels >.>

you can do everything that is currently out with no armor

I think he's right. The biggest thing about wearing armour is not the defence, but the stat bonuses.

more question, is there any PC controller I can use for this game? I haven't played PC games for ages, so would like to use controller

cool thanks

really tempted to get PC gaming in January just for this game. The combat mechanic looks on par to some of the best console action games

this trailler sold me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM2yfu_IqV4

Also is there a lot of content online? are new levels being added on a regular basis so players don't have to keep fighting in the same area or fight the same enemies?

sorry too many questions, it's just I'm new to PC gaming and this whole MMORPG thing

This isn't like most of the "real" MMORPG's out there. You won't find months of content and a story that'll take you a year to get through. All the content is split between boats. You can get through each boat in a couple hours or so depending on how fast you do everything. Right now there's 3 boats.

There are some quests in the town as well, various things you can do to go back to levels for and such, but right now there's no "open" territory (that's coming later along with a new town/castle). It's all instances with up to 4 players (or 6 in a raid).

Is it fun? Yes, quite. Is it going to consume all of your free gaming time? Not really. By the time you join up the game will probably have at least one more boat.

It's a treat for those who like action games ahead of MMOs so it's your favourite thing along with progression and multiplayer. Just keep in mind that there will be lag and sometimes it affects the combat pretty badly.

Yeah that's not in the game yet. We're getting content at regular intervals, though.

We'll probably get those transformations in December seeing as how they need to be at level 40 to get them. The current cap is level 38.

I seem to be the only one who's maxed Fiona's Ivy Sweep rank. I really love the extra spin kick added to the end. It clears crowds well enough and is a double sweep attack if you include the sword slash just before the kick.

I don't like the speed of the hammers. I might use it to earn titles if there are ones with good stats, but I'm sticking with swords. I like countering (not sure if that's in Hammer).

counter is a shield ability not a sword or hammer ability

Best console action games? Yeah, would not go that far.There's a one or two neat combos here and there with Fiona and Evie, but it's nothing deep or amazing. It's good, just don't set your expectations too high else you're gonna end up dissapointed. Trailers can be very deceiving.

Swords aren't that much faster with Fiona, and you still can use your shield with a hammer.

See I thought this.

Then I realized all the smash attacks hammer has is better and it does like 50% more damage and crits everywhere. Larger AoE and damage on everything. No point to use swords now imo. Main thing is you don't have to combo to 5 every time you want a worthwhile smash attack.

That Tieve's Surprise box sucks. Spent 990NX, got one Goddesse Grace out of it. You probably have to buy 20 just to get one of the shades or bunny ear bows.

Hopefully there'll be inventory clearance sale in January for gaming laptop
