Thread: The Rising Event! 1.0 Experience

Giving an opinion of whether or not I find something fun is not tearing down the game.

Considering you said "Sounds terrible", it mean you weren't there at that time.
So, you're basically giving an opinion of something you know nothing about...just for the sake of bashing the game.

I really hope to see events like that in the future.

Reminds me of the undead invasion prior to the Wrath of the Lich King expansion in WoW.

It's really great for meeting new people and forging new bonds.

I wish I could have played 1.0, i will always regret not having a good enough computer/internet connection for it, it kind of hurts honestly knowing that at every turn there is more stuff like this that I never got to experience just because I couldn't afford a monster computer and only had dialup internet x.x especially when I did infact own a physical copy of the game...

would be nice if they had streamlined the story and had it be a part of the current game atleast so that people who were unable to play it could do so now..

But yeah, this is amazing. It reminds me alot of besieged in XI, only on a massive scale. So jealous lol.. it would be nice if they do something like that again, maybe even just in the newly introduced areas in the new expansion.

That reminds me of when star wars galaxies and wow came out. I couldn't play because my internet sucked so bad (believe me I tried it was unusable)

The way v1 came to a close was very well done, and I think many of us who played through that story remember it fondly.

But I've been watching some of my old v1 gameplay videos -- and it sure looks slow compared to 2.0 and beyond. You might even say it was closer to a turn-based game where you had more time between attacks to queue your next move (and sometimes it took a while to FIND your next move with the old interface) and watch the animation play out.

The motions felt slower, character movements had more weight, and it seemed more centered around individual attacks and lighting effects (but it was quite beautiful!).



Anyway, here are a few more photos. ^^
