C9 (continent of the Ninth)

[kilaj1]

Well I take nothing on here seriously so no raised brows just trying to stay awake in class.

I don't play games simply for PvE content or excellent customer support. As long as those two things are Good and not crappy and the PvP and lore is to my liking then I'll play it.

Well what makes C9 and Cabal so different is one thing. No targeting system. There is no accuracy/evasion stat. Basically you're playing Zelda or Jade Dynasty online. That may seem like a small enough thing but this will make a huge difference in actual game play. If you play most console games you should be rather used to the feel it'll have, you'll just have to get used to doing it with many other people at real time. To fully understand this even more think of people who play games like Street Fighter 4 Competitive this will be more along their lines of play.

So sure it looks like any other MMO but if you consider how it'll actually be played and controlled it's a large step into a different direction. I also don't think it'll be popular here at all so as much as I want to test it I think it'll be a wast of time to take it west. Though Europe might be a good place to start if they plan to.

If Magbinogi Heroes' PvE is as great as they say in reviews I've read then that might do great in the west.


Yes the "A" means something.

which is one of the features I don't really like in most games.hack and slash basically..and all my consoles are paper weights now to me without a targeting system I think of nothing but "kill steals" used to happen a lot in SRO, where in the person who hit the mob the most will get the loot after. Was fine for annoying boters

Well in a Action game the no targeting system has room but my question is how does "healing" work? When your group is in a dungeon and then another group dungeon raids and your team mates are crammed together with the opposing team in a huge slug fest with out a targeting system how to you specifically heal the injured individual? I think I have an idea though I would really not hope that is the case though.

Which is exactly why I think it wouldn't gather much here.
However all reports point to C9 not being just hack and slash when it comes to PvP.
Magbinogi Heroes is also praised for not being simply Hack and slash when it comes to boss fights.

Hmm to be honest I don't recall seeing a healing class for C9.
I saw Hunter which became Assassin/Ranger/Scout
Mage Which became Elementalist/Witch Blade/ MAgician
And Warrior which became .. I forget...
I don't think they have a healing class..
However if there is I think there might be Aoe-ish feel or maybe click with the mouse (unpractical sounding) Or you simply aim and cast.
Which would be another thing which might bar people away from it.

Action reminds me of cabal with a lil gunz thrown in.
Looks sweet.
From all the latest comments on sites following it though it seems its going to be PayToPlay when the Euro/Eng versions come out.
