Dragon's Nest Open Beta - July 26th

InsertNameHere said:
I've looked into Swordmaster builds. Seems like there's a few floating around there. Sword, wave and hybrid. I'm going to try out this 'hybrid' build I found. Have no idea if it's good or not, haha.

Like all the sites that I've seen that had builds had that guys build. When you get to the class change you get a stat reset thing so you can test some stuff out as well. Before you use it I mean.
 
I'm really digging this so far. It's been harder and harder lately to commit to mmos with time becoming more precious. The quick access to dungeons, multiple difficulty settings and option to group with friends just fits perfectly for me. Tried each of the classes, I think I'll stick with the archer, love the longbow.
So far my only complaints are:

-Would love higher res textures. The cinematic sequences are really neat, but when they zoom in on some blurry textures, it looks bad.

-Please let me turn off my character's name, I know who I am.

-Bag space. This will probably be the way they get my money.

I find myself replaying the dungeons to master then working to knock out the achievements before moving on to the next.

can europeans play this?

They have their own company providing the game, right? Think they(nexon) are blocking regions that have other providers, like they do with all their online games.

I really wish I know that that 30 number on auctions only refilled once a week. Shoulda just vendored the low level stuff since now I'm out of sales and have things that are going for 10g+

It's per week?
SMH

That's really pushing item stuff once you get your job change. I can see a ton of people buying extra space.
In OBT we had 2 slots instead of 1 and I still was always full of crap.
 
I'm really liking the game so far. Feels like a way more coherent story than something like Vindictus. It also has way more skills to play with, even at level 9.

Anyone know if some of these items I'm picking up actually useful? Like the cloth headbands and shield hilts. Inventory is extremely limited and I don't know if I should be hanging on to this stuff or just selling it when I can.

Vendor trash. Some vendor trash fetches a lot more than others though, like the Minature Minotaur or talismans.

Anyone up for partying up? IGN: Tunoku

Ah, okay. I'm still in the Vindictus mindset where everything is either used for a quest or crafting. :P

:O that was you in the morning that signed on. Haha. We'll have to party later tonight or something.
 
Level 18 and loving it. You get way stronger when you switch jobs but the enemies get stronger too. I'm really digging this game. I may actually put down some real cash into this for the extra storage space.
 
I've been playing off and on these past few days. Level 11 Warrior right now, trying to push to the class advancement. I'm getting my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday so I will likely be sitting around playing this all next week.
 
Not. Enough. Space.

Uhg.

The amount of inventory and storage slots they give you is suffocating. All part of the plan I suppose.
 
Just so folks are aware, when you're trying to clear a dungeon for max score (and thus max rank), you don't receive any points for clearing the dungeon faster. Time is not factored into your score at all, it is only used for some achievements on a per-dungeon basis. Your actual score/rank only seems to be determined by the amount of times you get hit and the strength of your combos - higher chains obviously score more points, and you get bonus points for doing aerial juggles and finishing blows.
 
I haven't had an MMO hold my attention this well since WoW.

You know you're addicted when you are actually obsessed with your stats, an itch most MMOs fail to scratch.

Trying to settle on one class to main is tough. Hmm...

I was pretty dead set on Cleric for a while before the game is released, but my buddy also rolled one and it kind sucks having a duplicate since we're going to be playing together a lot (although we are planning on branching our specializations). I might have to consider Sorceress...

I was enjoying the Warrior until I realized I was dropping juggles and combos because of lag. I'm out of the country until late September, so I'd rather not continue dropping combos all of August and September. Archer seemed fun but my friend also rolled an Archer. Now I'm thinking of trying a Cleric.

Clerics are pretty bad ass. I basically have a kara tiger knee. That makes it the best MMO class.
 
im gonna say this, and make my peace. the dark elves are the most bullshit enemy in the game. and putting more than 3 in one spot at a time is fucking ridiculous. i think when this becomes official, im rolling a cleric.

Why wait? They aren't wiping any data or resetting characters when open beta ends. Should roll your character now.

But yeah, dark elves are definitely the worst enemy I've encountered so far.

Ken said:
What specialization did you take and how do you like it?

Priest. They are totally awesome and I don't regret my choice at all. Will probably go Saint whenever they up the level cap that high. The lightning relic is really good; I don't like the actual lightning spells that much (like Lightning Bolt or Mind Snapper) but they're good for spamming a combo chain higher. The relic is amazing though, and I can't wait to get more of them. The lightning relic alone has made soloing abyss on pretty much every dungeon I've encountered fairly simple. Unfortunately you don't get the next relic until 23 so I'll only have lightning & healing by the time I hit beta cap.

theres not going to be a wipe? well then its time to create a priest. one question. is there a way to share items between classes?

No shared storage so you'd have to either mail it to your other character or find someone to help. If it's on a different account you could try virtual machines or a second computer?

Is there a guild policy on alternate characters? I'd like to contribute some guild points while playing my Cleric and to have people to play with on that character, but if space is tight then never mind.

5 hour maintenance starting in 10 minutes. :(
 
Nooo. :( Just got Mercenary and wanted to play with my new skills. Oh well, more time to plan my build.

Anyone know if we will get another free skill reset when the second subclass is unlocked? Also, what level is the second subclass unlocked at?
 
I'm going to be quite pissed if I can't get those wings because they shut down the servers at such a retarded time. Friday evening? Really? Derp.

@jogarrr - I'm not sure if you get another free scroll when you hit the second subclass but you won't get to that point for months anyway. It requires level 45 and the level cap will be lower than that for a long while (they will increment the level cap post-release by 8 levels at set intervals).
 
Some resources you guys might like:
http://forum.mmosite.com/thread/2/49/20110428/4e321111aa21e7313-1.html

Has builds for pretty much every T3 class. Some of the names are different so look at their Skill pages to see where to put what.

Also, GAF guild is still up but Guild activity's petered out. I think a lot of the initial players lost interest, or it's because of MLG/EVO or I'm just crazy. I'm playing nearly the entire day though, so whisper me whenever and I'll send you an invite.

I've been playing a ton except today, which is because of EVO.
 
My Mystic is already level 24, so I'm leveling up a Mercenary in the meantime.

EDIT: Looks like there's a 5th class in the works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M3A8uTySWU

Hopefully we'll get it soon after release rather than having to wait months like a certain other korean mmo I could mention.

Have been playing my Cleric alt. Is it alright if my Cleric gets an invite?

Academic looks fun but not liking the style of the character.
 
We have more than enough room now, so your mains and your alts should probably be able to fit in.

And I'll do a cull once server's are back up.

Also give me Officer/invite power 8D

I'll have an alt or two to add. Sorc is level... 11 now.

Are you guys on the west server or an eastern one?
 
I'll see if I can, I'm not guild leader yet.

We're on Argenta (East 2).
 
Ok I am playing way way too much of this game but loving every second of it. I made a paladin on the east server. When server is back up, I have a few friends that would like to join the guild (my self included). I know its a little buggy where the invite has to happen in town so we can coordinate then when it is up :)
 
Hazaro said:
Yes. Weapons have different looks and the same names/stats as well.

You just will not notice while wearing the NX items since they overwrite the appearance. Hate that the nx items have stats on them.

Also, should look into the "Tenacious" title. It isn't implemented yet, but you can get all the other ones in it's meta. Will give like 25 to all stats and 40 to both attack types if they make it the same as the other versions, and everything for it can be done with the part of the game we have now.
 
Dragon's Nest website seems down?

I liked it better when I didn't need to go through their websites to play.
 
Mercenary is surprisingly fun. It's nice being in the thick of things instead of raining death from above.
