Atlantica Online

[Natallon]

So I saw this advertised on Fileplanet for participation in their closed beta.

Downloading client now and was wondering if anyone else was already in this.

[Beckwin]

I have a beta key but haven't downloaded yet. I guess I'm really wary of a grind that's turn-based, even if a lot of the concepts they have in the game sound really cool. I'm also hearing that the combat is pretty simplistic.

[Natallon]

ok well finished installing but now the game wont even connect

the client pops up but then the window just blinks and I get an error telling me to try again later and then it shuts down -.-

This game is pretty spiffy so far. I'm almost 30 and the closest thing I've had to grinding is a couple "kill 50 of these guys" (which is 8-10 fights, 5-6 mobs in most fights) quests. Other than that I'm still in the like learn the game quests phase, since level 25 I've had quests to raise my cooking to level 2, a quest to gain 1000 exp in a party, etc. etc.


I like it, having a lot of fun. If anybody wants to look me up for a "mentor" or whatever I'm in it as Leyla.

Edit: I almost forgot to mention the best part. It has an amazing auto-run system. For example, you get a quest to kill 10 blue dragons. You have no idea where the hell blue dragons are. You hit alt+r and it runs you directly to the blue dragons. You still have to fight if you run into something while auto-running, but it's amazing how much smoother and more fun it makes the game.

It's not just for quest mobs either, you can auto-run to a town, you can finish the quest and hit alt+r to run back to the quest giver, etc. etc. It's pretty awesome.

Got my beta key and downloading the game, reminds me of concerto gate but not shitty as hell graphics/gameplay wise. So I'm definitely going to give it a shot today once it finishes downloading.

It is admittedly getting a little irritating that there's no way to know if adds are coming, and no real way to avoid them, and basically depending on at what point in the fight they come (or if you're fighting a boss and another boss adds /sigh) it's either just like going directly into another fight, or you just get the living shit kicked out of you by 12 mobs attacking 2 squishies at once and raping your entire team in 1 turn.


That's the only downside for me so far, and I think it will be not as bad once it's through all the beta and stuff. Right now there's so many mobs spawning at the high traffic spots it's seriously like a mosh pit.

edit: I asked around, apparently that's just when you're supposed to start partying.

[Maguspk]

Loggin in now, going to look for you, Leyla right? I probably wont be able to tab really well to firefox since my PC is pretty old.

just started playing this recently, not bad imo. Graphics are decent and the fighting system is fun if your into turn based rpg's.

Suprisingly enough the music is good (atleast i like it). Theres alot to this game and the first string of quests take you through the UI and teach you how to do different like look up monster map and mercenary info. The auto-run system is made of win and theres also a Auto-Battle system ( i havent used it yet though) that lets you use autobattle like 20 times a real-life day.

The economy is mostly player based with a couple items that have a fixed price (usually items that are involved in a begining quest, like rice).

Im only level 19 right now and i play under the name map

A mmorpg you don't have to play to get something done...that's about as good as they can get.

I think the concept of this game is awesome. TBH this is kinda what I was hoping FFXI would be like when it was announced(with obviously a lot more polish). Turn-based combat in MMOs is highly under-rated.

[Kurp]

I'd like to give it a shot. Is there somewhere to go for a key?

[Lebzile]

^What he said, I looked over the site and saw the little graphic that says "To your CBT keys.." but the link doesn't work. ;;

[edit]

It seems they emailed them out.

[alexisamonster]

sign up for an account (its free) and then click get beta key

[Priran]

I got mine from http://www.warcry.com/contests/register/atlanticabeta

unfortunately today is the last day of the closed beta, and it looks like they're not going to reach the "get this many players and we won't wipe accounts" goal.

fun game though

[Beckwin]

might check it out in open beta I guess. glad to hear they automate part of the grindan.

[Maguspk]

Anyone know when the open beta will begin?

[Katlan]

I played it for a few hrs last night, was fun. I just don't understand how the mmo aspect of it is supposed to work out

[Natallon]

blah my client still wont work
oh well

[alexisamonster]

Closed Beta is over now, they said Open Beta would be up sometime in the beginning of August.

[Plow]

A mmorpg you don't have to play to get something done...that's about as good as they can get.

auto-run to some quest mobs and go afk for 5 minutes, then post pics plz




and yeah, beta goes down in 2 hours until sometime in august, and don't know if they're going to wipe or not, I hope they don't but meh I'm not that happy with my build anyway


loving the game still, level 43 atm
