Are we forgetting about Shadowbane/

[Twystyd]

Caly, we were just weighing the pros and cons of the game. We can play pretty well proven by our number one ranking on Andred and number two current ranking on the Merlin server of DAoC.

Hardcore PVP sounds good to me

I havent seen a lot of screens involving SB. Anyone have links? Or Video's maybe?

[Twystyd]

www.shadowbane.com and go from there~

[Alandrian]

Ill play SB!!!! I already had to quit daoc but wish i didnt have to. =(

[Ozinag]

Wow, those graphics really do suck

[Sovereign]

I could care less about the graphical quality of the game. As long as the game builds upon previous moorpgs and adds some unique new dimension of play to gaming, imo It'll be worth taking a look at.

[Ozinag]

Agreed, but Jaw-Dropping Graphics sometimes keep the game more interesting for a longer period of time

[barbos]

I buy a game for it's gameplay graphics, sound, and such.

I could go to MUDS and such if I wanted to have shitty graphics but a good game...

[Caly]

Well I know just getting defensive. See thos high ranks are reasons I want you all to play with me.

Well I just had a long hard PvP day. about 5-7 hours. Crazy stuff.

Half the server sieges CoS big guild been in beta for long time enemies of my Guild or conglomerate of guilds known as Stillborn which HEL is a part of. So I went over and was killing CoS sneaking in there city and takeing out someone then recalling (I am an assasin). Then My guild decided to come to the get together but we had CoS sub to us and we defeated the attackers. Really they kinda just ran off when we go there because our guild is feared . PvP all the time thats all I do nowadays since I have lvled up some. Its cool though the only people who hate me are the noobs and half of them just ask me to help them one CoS member that was watching my work wants me to teach them how . Anyway enough bragging its straight PvP all the time everyone that plays knows it and wants it makes the gameing atmosphere just awesome.

I have a few questions about the game:

Crafting: does SB have a decent crafting system? Are player made weapons and armor desireable? Is it possible to level up a crafter without doing PvE?

Siegeing: Isn't the "bind stone" inside your home city? Is it possible to take a city when the enemys you kill just respawn right there? How long does it take? Can you destroy the enemy guild's city?

PvE: How would you rate the amount of time it takes to level compared to EQ or DAoC? Is it fun? Do the mobs posess some form of AI that makes encounters interesting? What are the good grouping/support classes?

PvP: Are there rewards for killing enemy guild members? Is there loss of experience/coin/items upon a PvP death? Can you PvP nonstop? Are the classes balanced? What is the best PvP class in your opinion?

Just some questions I'd like answered from a person who plays the game. I could probably find the answers on the shadowbane site, but the answers might not be objective, coming from the game designer.

Also: where are the good SB beta forums?

[Hall]

Sounds Good im not a particular Grapics person i played EQ for about a year and change while my friends laughed at the shitty gfx.
Im keeping my hopes up for SB, I kinda want to relive the old days
of Andred CoE Notorioty kicks major ass. O well keep us posted on the games progress.

[Ozinag]

SB, regardless of the graphics, i think will be amazing

Good series of questions Guyute.


I know a little about the crafting system. Basically you can hire a merchant in your town, telling him what to make. The beuty of it is you dont have to be online for him to be selling stuff, so basically its like running your own small business, and it seems to be potentially a great idea compared to sitting at a forge for a zillion hours.

[Caly]

WellI cant really answer that those because of NDA but I would like to. Private forum acces would be nice but I am sure I cant get that.

[Sovereign]
