Classy!

No, thank you.

It's got wow quests... i don't even care anymore it's a clone, i just don't want to be babysitted while playing a game. :\
you're told where to go to get a frigging quest, because of the damn exclamation marks
You're told where to go to collect the rats
You're told where to get the next quest.

Where is the damn game even, please tell me what are people even doing? There's no reason to socialize anymore in those.

Someone do something, nuke all MMO software companies.

Sounds like a Happy-Go Lucky guy to me.

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed the Beta and am looking forward to CBT2 next week.

There are a few nagging issues and one caveat is that this beta is running concurrently with an open beta in the developers native Russia so I am not sure how much true input we have. I would imagine that the Russian forums are the ones being frequented by the Developers.

All our bug reports need to be emailed in.

The Allods English forums are only visited by a forum admin or two although we do have a group of Russian players who report back to us about the progress being made on a few of the major bugs. One, the Rest XP issue is supposedly fixed in the Russian Beta and will hopefully be fixed in our CBT2.

The game is fun and different enough where I am sold. There's currently no auto-attack and melee requires a bit more concentration than most other MMOs I've played since timing your cooldowns and strikes is so important.

The graphics, while not technically ground-breaking, are stunning in their design and textures.

I am a click-click-click-hunt quest guy but a lot of these quests actually got me caught up in the lore. That was unexpected. There are still "kill 10 rats" quests so the quest dynamics are nothing new but there were definitely a few that were unique.

The classes and races are nothing new and the talent selection is very familiar. The only thing that saves that part from being a bore is that combat is a bit different.

Combat takes a LONG time to kill a mob but downtime is almost nil so in the long run you end up going through the same number of mobs/hour as the typical fight/rest/med system.

I really like this game.

Do yourself a favor and grab a beta key.

Allods is a fantastic game so far.

Yes, it's a WoW clone, but it's a WoW clone done right.

It's familiar enough to be comfortable and intuitive while making changes to fundamental game mechanics making it feel like a completely new experience.

It's definitely worth checking out.

I had a lot of fun in CBT#1 and looking forward to #2!

Its true, this is very much a game in the tradition of EQ/WoW/etc. It does look similar to WoW, but its art style has a distinct feel to it, at least imo. Certainly the Empire, with its idealized soviet-styled buildings and such looks nothing like what I've seen in other fantasy games. The music is also top-notch.

Normally, I can't stand kill X of Y type quests and that gameplay. I played the last Aion CB weekend, and after that I could not bring myself to replay even the three first quests in the open beta. I don't know what it is about Allods, but I happily levelled up 3 characters to 10 on the League side alone. Some of the quest text/stories are amusing, sometimes even making fun of the kill X of Y paradigm (at one point, an officer on the Empire side questions why the scientists have been making you do this).

PS - I don't play WoW, tried it a few weeks during one of the beta stress tests long ago and that was enough for me...so, yeah, not sure why I like Allods.

I just got this tweeted from #AllodsGame:

"Quick clarification: Your CB1 account will work for all remaining CB's! You won't have to worry about obtaining a new key!"

So the only ones who can use these new upcoming beta keys are those who have not already been playing.. er... beta testing it.

Every time I try to redeem the beta key on the allods site, my browser (I've tried 3 different browsers now) gives me a security error and blocks the window.

Internet Explorer says something about an unsigned certificate.

Anyone else getting this problem?

Don't use internet explorer anymore but when it does that, usally your time zone/ time is wrong. so if thats it, fix the date/time to current date and time

Lol you guys are saying that Allods is not a WoW clone because it has different graphics?

Are you like, i mean you know
fucking shitting me?
