Title: Ryzom Open Beta Post by: schild on August 27, 2004, 10:08:33 AM Code: Open beta is starting next week! Grab a client here and get ready for the best time you'll have all summer in a MMORPG game: If you were looking to play the game, there's your information. I'm deathly afraid that it's nowhere near ready for release or open beta (considering where it was 3 months ago), but I could be wrong.

You guys were ABSOLUTELY right. Fucking beautiful world, and have way decent history, but you don't feel like you're there. Great world, nothing to do.

Title: Ryzom Open Beta Post by: HRose on August 27, 2004, 09:35:21 PM I think there's a good amount of interesting stuff under the skin. But well masked below an *insane* grind in its purest form.
Good ideas but badly held together. Title: Ryzom Open Beta Post by: Righ on August 27, 2004, 10:03:26 PM Slowest. Torrent. Ever.
Speaks volumes of its popularity. Maybe its a hit with people with old modems. Title: Ryzom Open Beta Post by: Nebu on August 27, 2004, 10:08:57 PM Quote from: schild See. And people say I'm an insane douchebag. Well, that aside... you are totally correct about Ryzom. Did I mention not to download it? Some great concepts, but poorly combined into a game. Let's hope someone borrows some of the good stuff and adds it to a coherent gaming experience. Title: Ryzom Open Beta Post by: Liquidator on August 30, 2004, 02:30:10 PM I downloaded the client today and logged in to see what it was all about. There is a very small amount of sound effects in the game, so it's like playing a game with all the sound turned off. It also took me about three or four minutes to kill one of the newbie mobs with the starting weapon...... that's not a good start. Oh, I crashed a couple of times also. Wheee!
How do these companies expect to survive in such a flooded MMO market with even more mammoth games on the horizon (EQ2/WoW)? I don't see how this game will attract any sort of player base. -L Title: Ryzom Open Beta Post by: Kenrick on September 02, 2004, 12:21:36 PM Oh... my... god. I dl-ed this last night for shits and giggles. It made me do neither.
What I saw will forever haunt me. An mmog so ugly, with an interface so awkward... Oh god, no. No I don't want to remember it anymore. They need to package a grapefruit spoon with this game so people can gouge their eyes out after playing it. Oh, and BEING ABLE TO UNINSTALL would be nice. Fucking hell what a bad game. Title: Ryzom Open Beta Post by: Signe on September 02, 2004, 12:38:40 PM This game gives me plumber's crack. :(

Don't know what happened there. The previous beta clients installed and had uninstallers and made appropriate reg entries. This installer really just extracts the game files to a directory of your specification. Since it makes no reg changes/additions, there's no need for an uninstaller. Just delete the directory you extracted the files to. Hell, that's what most unsavvy users do when they "uninstall" a program anyhow. I love cleaning up those messes. ;) Title: Ryzom Open Beta Post by: Kenrick on September 03, 2004, 05:55:13 PM Quote from: Soukyan Hell, that's what most unsavvy users do when they "uninstall" a program anyhow.

Ryzom crafting bored me to tears when I tried it (you gain X skill points per crafter level, and spend those skill points on recipes. Which means a ton of grinding just to be able to make the next thing. In SWG, at least you started out with the ability to craft a bunch of things for the variety), and combat wasn't much more interesting. Prediction: Will sink like a dud outside of its native France.
