Just discovered an awesome tip. You can put skills on the item bar to the right just like you can the skill bar. That means you can have 10 skills out at once plus the skill bar. Makes the controls waaaaaaayyyy easier.
Ooh nice one!

You can also spin the skill bar like a dial to show more slots! :)

I put buffs in the item bar and attack skills on the button wheel thing, works well.

So after the 3 month trial it works with subscription fees, right? How does that work? Can you just stop paying/playing whenever you want? And resume again when you want with the same character(s)?

But the most important question to all the people who are playing now is: what are your impressions? Is it better than other iOs MMORPGS?

I think you just pay with iTunes points in game off the Cash Shop.

1 month is $0.99, 3 months $1.99, and 6 months $2.99.

Not sure if you'll keep the same characters but I'm assuming we can resume our characters after ending and resubscribing. Seems like a terrible move if they get rid of your characters because you unsubscribed.

This is my only iOS MMO that I've played and 18 levels in, for a handheld MMO it feels great. Comparing it to other MMOs, it doesn't really do anything new. You're still fetching X, killing n number of Y, and such.

I think what's attractive is the ability to start up an MMO and quickly jump in and start playing from anywhere in the house and not be tied to a desk.

Getting bored of my mage since I haven't met up with any GAFfers and I've been mostly solo'ing. That and it appears that an entire area's set of quest lines has gotten borked due to a bug.

So for now, I'm playing as a level 6 female Elven warrior named Firinelle. Still Order/Arcadian Forest.

Would love to join a GAF guild.

Haven't encountered the bug yet, but I'm a solo Mage as well. just hit level 7, and i'm just encountering quests which require a helping hand. Also, most of the rewards that i"m getting seem to be for classes OTHER than Mage. Still loving the game, though, as this is the first time I've played an MMO since EverQuest first launched, and since WoW first started....

Is the monk just overpowered? I have only encountered one quest with my monk where I needed help and it was a lvl 19 quest against two elites a level above me.

I can tank two mobs 3 or 4 levels higher then me but then I have to scram and balance my one single regen skill perfectly, man I really would love to have a leech skill lol.
 
Found a really good level 13 bow, 25-31 damage with 6 range attack boost, I could make 1 gold from it most likely but a gaffer can have it :)

Well, I just started so don't know if I can use it.. But if I can, I would surely want it :D
 
The bow is amazing for that level, you can have it! Add user "defence" to your friends list when I am online and I can mail it to you in-game.

Updated my name on page 1, I spent it all lower case in-game and I heard caps can say that i'm not there even though I am, might be worth the OP making a username list for us to easily glance and app people from. I could do with some friends from here to chat too, the game feels lonely right now despite hundreds playing.

Log into gameloft live and you can see how many are playing, 2 days back in the mid afternoon there was 960 people online for Order&Chaos, i'd think it's over 1000 easily right now.

Haha thanx bro, but I think I'll pass anyway. Started with a warrior now and liking that much more!

Yeah I think capitalization messes shit up when youre adding people. I agree the game feels a bit lonely. But global chat really reminds me of the Barrens chat in good and bad ways.

Level 15 Ranger now, liking this class quite a bit more than the Monk, the damage output is way way higher. I miss self-healing though!

I was actually able to retry the spy lady quest despite it no longer being in my quest log, and I was able to re-initiate it and complete it successfully. Not so much a bug, really. Here's what's going on, in a nutshell:
1) You get a referral (from Scholar Yoric IIRC) to visit the spy lady to help her on a quest.
2) You wait 5+ minutes with like 50 other bored fools waiting for spy lady to respawn.
3) You click on her once (if you're fast enough) and click "complete" to finish the quick, low reward referral quest. At this point, the referral quest vanishes from your quest log.
4) By now she's probably moving along as someone else in the waiting group has feverishly initiated the quest for his/her self/team.
5) You may be thinking that since you managed to hit "complete" in time, that you're good to go, but if you follow her at this point, you're not really engaged in the quest proper.
6) Instead, you should wait another 5+ minutes for her to respawn AGAIN! At this point, clicking on her will prompt you to accept the REAL quest.
7) Don't waste time reading the details. Skip to the bottom ASAP and hit "accept" to start the real quest.
8) Profit (or sob over a cold one at the time wasted due to such inept game design).

It's very likely that you'll manage to complete step 3 and eliminate the referral quest from your log, but fail to secure step 7 and initiating the real quest. So you might follow along thinking that you nailed it after step 3, and once the quest (that you're not really on) is "done" feel cheaped out of exp and rewards, and notice that there's no reference to the quest in your log any longer.

That's what happened to me. And probably many more. I finally 'got' how this REALLY works in the Tommy/Dark Forest quest on Tear Coast, and though I'm way too weak to solo that one, returned back to the Arcadian Forest and tried this out with the spy lady. It worked without a hitch.

Gave up on Tommy, kept getting mauled by spiders and lost 1 gold in death fees in total before I cleared out and moved elsewhere. Now I'm nearly level 19 and about to enter the Swamp of 'Something' (3rd zone). Is anyone actually in the guild yet? :)

Yeah, I think there are 6 of us right now. I think Loper is the only one that can add new members though.
 
Really wish the newer ipods could tv out like ipad 2, this game is asking for it. It's really clean to stare at as it is but my eyes kill after a while because of the retina display.

Yah its growing slowly, unfortunately it won't let me add anyone to the guild unless we are online at the same time. I made "jonbones" a guild admin as well. So if either of us are online send a whisper so we can add you.

Loper / Kung Foo Kid

This game and escort quests don't sit well with me. Stuck now with only this quest in the swamp of wyrms (retired sheriff). Not only do you have to wait 10 min for the respawn and fight 10 others to click first, it also got stuck midway through due to enemies respawning too fast so that the escort leeched infinitely....

Level 24 now though, still fun enough. :)

It's a damn grindfest 23-25, quests stop sans 3 repeatables which takes years to collect mats for and it's in the middle of a forced PVP area. Ugh.. Almost 25...almost!
 
it's becoming clear now that gameloft made a few schoolboy errors with their mid-game and pvp stuff, I still enjoy this game but they need to patch and refine some things, include a few more teleport locations to keep the game flowing and stop over the top ganking somehow (change pvp areas maybe)
 
Sorry guys! I'm the one with the character named "Sinjin." The Acadian Server was too crowded, so I jumped ship to one of the other servers to get a little elbow room. Hope the GAF guild has fun with the game. I'm enjoying it quite a bit when I find time to play.

Solo'ed it as a level 18 Warrior, finally!
Ready to move on to the demon-infested south now that I'm out of quests (save for the referral to the south) but sadly haven't had a chance to play yet this week.

Posted this in the iOS gaming thread too, but, what would y'all recommend for an alt? I'm really enjoying my level 21 monk but I'd like an alt to mess around with preferably a warrior or ranger. I think a Ranger could be fun but I dont know how well each class solos later in the game.
 
Just watched a vid on YouTube of this and my jaw dropped.

Downloading now and will post character/server info when I'm in.

If you're familiar with WoW, the Ranger is very much like a Rogue, with added Hunter skills so you have stealth and various bow skills (you can spec in either direction or mix it up). I'm level 25 currently and the dps output is fairly high but you're still quite vulnerable. No idea if other classes have a sprint skill but it's a real blessing especially since it works when in stealth. :)

How do you do that? I just got this game.

Open the inventory bar, open your Spells tab and simply drag the spells to the empty spots in the bar.


Is anyone else still playing this? I've only bumped into Pastry in my playing so far hehe, I'm hitting level 46 as a Ranger slowly grinding through the Desert zone (which horribly lacks quests!). Still enjoyable to play however, Gameloft exceeded my expectations quite a bit.

So are people still playing this game? I am having a hard time finding any reviews that talk about the game after an initial impression. I am very interested in it but am worried about the amount of worthwhile content. Are there dungeons or anything?
 
Just started playing this. Quite interesting to play on an iPad although it lags like a bitch on my WiFi and I have no idea why.

Anyway, Undead Mage on Observer's Market, so if there's a guild there pleaseadd me.

I'm also surpised at ho pw decent it looks on iPad 1. It has popup and it's full of aliasing but it's OK. I can't wait to see what devs can come up with in a few years with A5 and later A6 hardware.

My wife bought this app over the weekend, I gather once the 3 months free ends they don't start auto charging your itunes accounts for the subscription do they?

I hope it's all managed via the in-app purchase system, I don't want to commit to anything in the huge terms & conditions.

Thanks guys.

So this is out for OS X now and for some reason Gameloft thought it would be a good idea to not let you use your character from the ios version.

They even want you to pay another monthly fee.

I did a search and this is all I found. I just wanted to post that O&C2 is a damn fine game. Seems pretty huge too. I haven't tried a mobile MMO like this in some time (a WoW clone) but this one is polished, fun writing, and has cool char enhancement systems. Gear / loot system seems good too.
