Jade Dynasty plays like your standard MMO in terms of movement and controls so that's nothing to really learn. The first thing I noticed about this game is that it looks BEAUTIFUL. Of course, with my shitty legacy gfx card, I only run it on low settings and it still looks lovely. For me, one of my biggest needs in a game (especially in a MMO) is WASD movement, This can make or break a game. Luckily, Jade Dynasty answers the call \o/. The music is always so relaxing too.

One thing that kinda bugs me about this game is the number of weapons and armor. As far as I know*, every 15 levels, you get a new set of armor (Hat, body, boots) and a new weapon. This is a hit or miss depending on how you like your games. I like this because it's less confusing, I don't like having a new weapon like....every level because then your working your ass off to find the damned thing and before you know it, you overlevel, rage and then ragequit. In a nutshell, Like a bunch of weapons to grind after? Meh
Like it simple? Yay \o

*There may be unique weapons around, I started yesterday damn it.

Now, you guys are probably going, "Oy ChrisDom :0, Waht abou't LeveL1ng?!?111" Don't you worry friend. Leveling is the smoothest I have EVER experienced. You start with boosted experience gain (An event I think) and a 70+ Attack charm and a 100+ Defense charm. SAVE THESE, they'll come in handy later besides you also start with a pot that you can heal yourself with up to 200000 HP (Multiple use :D) ALSO BIG FCKING POINT HERE, You can level up in your sleep using meditation :3, meditation gives you a set amount of exp (depending on your level) about every 5 minutes. **

Example: My first meditation started at about 4 A.M, I stopped at 11 A.M.
In 7 hours of meditation, I gained 9 levels :D (I was level 4).

So here I was, level 13. After a few quests (quests aren't really long at all) BOOM level 15, it was time to pick a faction, Right now, I'm level 23.

• Gameplay: 8/10 (It's an MMO)
• Controls: 10/10 (No problems here)
• Art And Gfx: 10/10 (Sooo Fcking beautifulllll)
• Community?: 8/10 (i don't talk to random people)
• Factions?: 9/10 (I had to do some research to know, what was what.)

i always have to play new games, i guess ill make a guy on east, even though im west coast, probably wont cause any lag issues eh

Nah, you should be fine. Btw, the company that made Jade Dynasty, made perfect world which is also really beautiful but was a bit blunt.

ye i didn't notice from the urls

download will be done in about 41 minutes, ill probably be playing all night

I knew you'd see this Ishi.

Also; Perfect World is complete garbage. I could rant, but won't.
It's the same with Last Chaos. I'm never going to be tempted to play an Aeria Games MMO ever again because of that.
I try not to be close-minded though. I'll take a break from Mabinogi to at least try this out though.

I didn't say perfect world was good, it's just really really nice looking and last chaos was the same true. But MABINOGI? REALLY? I thought better of you guv :<

Heeyyyyyyyy,
don't knock it till you try it. Mabinogi may look like a cookie-cutter MMO, but there's much more to it. I've only played like, every free MMO, and a few non-free MMOs.

I was in the closed beta for mabinogi, I checked my character a month ago, and I was like 80 ._. Anywho, I'll be starting my modo character now.

sup, been playing it, and its pretty ok.

few questions, do i go to jadeon to change jobs? and how do i craft stuff? i got the skill, but i cant find any way to do it ;o

also im level 20, on usaeast going for lupin

character name ishi


edit: never mind about the class change, already figured that out ;o

DLing it. ;o

Going for Vim, seeing as Dom is a Modo and ishi is a Lupin. Variety rules.
