Heh, that's pretty cool, Warz.  It's kinda sad that they made it that easy (by making some of the stuff client-side, I mean).

Do you have a "favorite" class?  So far, I've only tried Dark Templar and Assassin.  I was thinking I'd try a mage-type class later on.

You should stick to one class and play it, Sidoh. You really don't get an actual feel for a class till 40+. That's when they really start to shine so I've heard.

You have to play a class that long to get a feel for whether you like it or not? ouch

[Sidoh]

I'm sure that's true to a degree, but I'm not trying to master the class.  I'm just trying to get a general feel about how they work.

I tried Demonologist.  I liked it, but I think I liked Dark Templar more.

Usually MMOs which fall into the "other" category are not very well engineered.

It's the same way with WoW. You don't normally get 90% of your skills till 30-40. Every mmo is like that.

Hitmen: It's not so much whether you like it or not as much as it is how the class plays against others. For instance I'm an assassin, so I don't do well against Conquerors/Barbarians. My class is designed to kill other cloth/light armor wearing classes and that's it.

Does every other MMO also do client side calculations of spells? I'll give you a hint: no

Dungeon Siege was the last game that I remember doing this, and it died a horrible horrible death. Dungeon Siege also did everything else client-side, too - including character storage, etc, so you could just edit your character's data file and give yourself everything. Everything short of god mode. lol.

DS wasn't an MMO. If anything, it resembled Diablo II.

[warz]

well that's why i didn't call it an mmo now did i?! JESUS.

[Newby]

Seemed like you responded to warrior. My mistake nigga. Jeez.

[Warrior]

well that's why i didn't call it an mmo now did i?! JESUS.

newby's statement still stands, ds is irrelevant to my argument

[warz]

sure it does. it was an online game that was supposed to be badass, and for the most part was, but died quickly because of exploits. mmorpg or not.

[Sidoh]

Yeah, I definitely think it applies.  The MMO condition was artificially introduced and isn't really that relevant.
