Dungeon Running anyone?

[Cheddar]

Hi People...  Been a long time D1-D2-Guild Wars player.   Stupid me didn't check his email in time to get in on the VIP invite.  I would greatly appriciate it if anyone who has an invite still left could send one my way.  Thanks everyone!

Just PM one of us to get an invite.

[cdsmith00]

[Signe]

oops... I sent you one, too.   

[cdsmith00]

oops... I sent you one, too.   

I just saw that.  Is there anything I can do about it?  The e-mail states that I cannot forward them to another person.  I wouldn't want to break the rules or anything.

[Cheddar]

If you make additional accounts it will allow Signe to send out more invites.  You are welcome for the invite, pull up a chair and stay awhile.  We encourage new blood to post!

I am so addicted to this game right now. Targetting and movement both suck, as they're too often confused with each other. "No, I meant to run away from the rat, and attack the bug! Not the other way around!!! *dies* Ugh."

But the world is just plain awesome. I'm actually immersed in it, because for the first time, the NPCs and the world act realistically to the players. Farmer Brown isn't worried about the orcs near his farm, he's pissed that the adventurers keep stomping across his fields to get to the orcs. Generally speaking of course. That kinda thing. And it's just a hoot. I could chat with the ranger trainer for hours. "BR-GAW! BR-GAW!"

Yeah, I'm grooving on it. If they time their release properly, they may just pull me away from WoW.

I know it's me, but I read your post about 5 times and I still can't tell if you are serious or not...

[damijin]

Pretty sure he's serious, and I feel very similarly.

Just wondering: Would you guys rather play this than Guild Wars?

[Falconeer]

Then I missed the last 2 weeks of my life.
Please someone give me an invite cause I need to see this with my eyes...

[Numtini]

Just wondering: Would you guys rather play this than Guild Wars?

It's cute and pretty well done, but no, I wouldn't play it over guild wars. Not even if the payment models were reversed. Even if I end up paying more per year for GW via expansions, I'm afraid I'm stuck on that subscription fee for this one. I'll keep plugging away at it.

If anyone needs an invite, please PM!

[schild]

Enough polish by release? I wouldn't think twice of paying $5 for this and dropping Guild Wars. Depending on how the game is structured though, I expect massive content updates every month or two for Dungeon Runners. That's the allure of an online Diablo - the updates to loots. And with Flagship making a Diablo MMOG as well, NCSoft better take this game seriously or they'll be up shit creek - again.

I looked at all the screenshots and still can't tell if you can 'look to the horizon' or not (ie. EQ, AC1, AC2, DAOC, SWG, WoW etc, vs. Diablo1, Diablo2, NWN1 etc).  The camera seems very overhead-ish to me, but that could be just how its positions rather than what its restricted to.

[Yegolev]

Just wondering: Would you guys rather play this than Guild Wars?

I would.  This is fun and funny, and doesn't take itself seriously.  GW does not have those things.  I don't play GW now for free, how much of a comment is that?  I played D2 to fight monsters, not cockgobbling battle.netards, so the PVP in GW does not have anything for me that I can't get from playing better CCG ripoffs.

About the camera, it rotates and zooms.  You can't look up or down.  It's a Diablo, not a EQ.

[tazelbain]

PvC is so 90s.

I am sticking with GW, still can't get enough of Fort Asphenwood.  Diablo Loot doesn't roxxor my boxxor like it once did.

Come on, man, even the Lurkers are following directions.  Heh.

[Slyfeind]

Yeah I was serious about that. :) I HAVE A CAT NAMED MITTENS HEHEHEHEHE!

I'd definately play this over Guild Wars, but wouldn't stay long unless they kept updating it. And you can look to the horizon and move with WASD, but it's choppy movement, and the horizon isn't much to look at. I use over-the-shoulder view for town, and overhead view for dungeons.

[Venkman]

I think it's ok, but it feels so much like D2 to me that I am remembering why I got burned out of that one so long ago. Definitely a good diversion though, a better one than GW for me because there's more growth opportunity and I don't care about GW PvP.

[Furiously]

We used to have an old slot machine when I was very young.  I never got tired of it.  I would sit there for hours feeding it quaters, winning, losing, running out of quarters, opening it up and taking the quarters out again.  It was autistastical.

My sister and I did the same thing - one of us would feed the machine and the other would pull the handle - when we ran out of quarters we would pull the moneybox out and play again. Note to self - be the house.

[Falconeer]

Knowing about lurkers, I thought it was too late :) Thanks anyway, Numtini helped me.

[Falconeer]

Oh darn, it's SO Diablo and so low budget. I see the point here, now.
Only, what's the deal with all that lag?

What the hell are you talking about?  Its not character growth that's shallow as hell.

Anyway is possible to play pure mage?  I get swarmed.

[Venkman]

Not sure I understand your question. Short form: I feel I can do more in DR than GW because I know what lies at the very-easily-achievable endgame of GW, and I can't compete at that level (in the various forms of competition there). I think DR has a longer linear climb, dedicated to PvE (which I like) in the style of D2 (which I liked). So, something I could be engaged by for a longer period of time.

However, I won't be. There's too many other things going on.

I dumped points into INT and END (of course) and grabbed gobs of mana pots. Just use that chain lightning thing copiously, leaving the direct damage thing for the bigger targets. Works well. I have yet to die. Can't remember what my level was when I quit the other night though...

[sam, an eggplant]

My mage is only lvl 15, but I've done very well putting 4 in INT and 1 in END on even levels, and 3 in INT and 2 in END on odd. I primarily use fire blast at long range, which kills 75% of the mob group before they reach me. The hold down shift "technique" is absolutely essential for this. When they get in close, stomp to push back (warrior skill) then shadow lightning for AE. The resist buffs are essential for bosses; sissifras (or whatever) is pretty impossible without poison resist.

Money is no longer a problem after level 10 or so, so get all the skills you can use.

[Falconeer]

Oh lag is finally gone!
Best action game ever since Diablo.

[tazelbain]

Serious?

[stray]

All the good Diablo clones are on consoles.

[Falconeer]

I am serious. This is just awesome Old School goodness. This is not a just a Diablo Clone, this is the natural child of Diablo and Darkstone.
If you liked one of those two, you will marry Dungeon Runners.

[Typhon]

dammit! stop making it sound like something I'd enjoy!  sonofa..., now i'm going to have to figure out how to pm on this new fangled "forum" thingee
