Has anyone around here gotten into Fury? http://www.unleashthefury.com
For those that haven't, it's basically like an FPS with mmo characters. You have your basic toon, and learn new spells and abilities, gather money and buy gear, get gear rewards, yada yada.
But it's entirely based around basically battleground maps. There's no questing, no like raid dungeons and that kind of stuff, just your fps with your mmo toon.
Has a crazy system as far as both classes as well as abilities. First off, rather than your class deciding what spells you have, what spells you choose to equip determine what you're classified as. For example, a player with a lot of nature melee attacks and a fair amount of healer spells would be a Warden of Life.
The spells/abilities are where it deviates from the mmo norm the most. First, there's no auto attack. This is because of the mana type system. Rather than having a mana pool, or rage bar, or whatever, you work with charges. Every ability either gains or expends charges. It gets way more complicated than that, but that's the basics. There's a pretty darn good tutorial to get you to understand it quickly.
Anyway, just curious if anyone plays, or is looking to get into a game like that. It's entertaining and pretty original, good way to waste some time at least.
