Any one playing Atlantica Online

[Imfir]

Curious to know if any others have tried it or playing it.

I started a few days ago, actually have character on each server, started by mistake, did not know the server choices actually moved, and I was always selecting 2nd from bottom, couldn't figure out why my character never saved , then one time I got to a server I already had, and I was lost again, lol . . Could have sworn I started a Axe class . . and a different name. so I checked, And found each time I startd on a different server, so now I have one started on each server, I was not going to start one on the newest server, but the others were full, or busy, and the new one was normal, so that concluded having a toon on each server.

I have never played a Online turn base game before, so the whole playing the game is all new to me, sorta .
I can not remember the names of the server at the moment, but I plan to mainly play on one . . I know starts with the letter "M" and has a "y" in the name.
Main will prolly be Staff, alts will be Axe and Cannon.

Hey. Way to test the waters on each server. =) I am on Mycanea server. I started during closed beta 3 and had a blast. Been playing since. I really enjoy it. Jalqui is IGN. Add me to friends if you like. Later.

[Imfir]

okay, got ya added, had to log off there abruptly, at my moms right now, and she thinks when there is a problem, you gotta beat on it, her printer is not working right so she started pounding on it . . I hope I am not like that when I am 65 .

Like I was saying in game, I think it is funny the amount of players selling their items over the Fixed price, which is a feature I love in this game. It was nice of the devs to do that on the Starter/low level items I think that allows newbies in the game some time to soak in the market enough to stay, the games were the market is 100% player controlled gets outta hand from the gold sellers.
I also think it is funny seeing players selling less then what they would have got if they just went to a Merchant.
The game is well balanced in the market end, (me thinks ),
The way once you start the fight, no one can come in and KS your target is awesome.
I find the crafting system , as different as it is compared to how in game crafting methods, a easy for everyone to get into crafting, tho it can be a money sink, but that part is the norm in any game crafting. I like it, because it does not take you away from battling , were other methods your not earning anything while crafting, here your getting crafting done while battling and earning XP.
The 2 different methods for upgrading your weapons is a nice touch, you can sacrifice same weapon and take no chances (Enchanting), or not sacrifice another weapon and get even better, but 50% chance of losing it.

Well there is more I could say, but I need get off for a lil while.

What is wrong with beating on our machines when they don't act right?

Anyway, no worries about logging off. I hope that the monster info I shared was helpful. If you have info I need, please share back!

Yes, the people that overcharge the fixed price are funny. If anyone buys those, that would be even funnier. I think it is still really early to decide how well balanced the economy is, but so far things are promising.

I've seen the two different equipment upgrade paths done in at least one other game. I agree it is a smart move. At least it keeps things more interesting for folks. "Do I gamble on a success or get a matching sacrificial item?" Risk vs reward. Good life lessons!

The thing with crafting that I did not like was how long it takes to get autocraft. Eventually you will try to craft something that will take you hours to complete the workload. AFK autocrafting is the only way to deal with that.

Anyway, if you decide to stay on the mycenae server, let me know with an ingame mail or whisper.

If anyone else is going to join us on the mycenae server, please consider listing me (Jalqui) as your referrer! I'm also happy to mentor you. (There is an ingame system to encourage this kind of tutoring which rewards me for my mentoring with in game coins!)

Yeah I just discovered how the share monster info works, I'll check and see if I have any thing that I can send you.
Pretty neat how they have that set up, there is no way of wasting "will", by sending someone info they already have. I've been play on Thebes and Mycenae, but the last night and tonight was strictly Thebes, because I was so close to getting lvl 20. Now that I have it, I'll be back over to Mycenae, after they are done with this maintenance
Only reason I go to Thebes, is because I got lucky and a good Mentor found me, and gave me some good tips and equipment. .but Mycenae is the server I want to stay on, And I'll prolly use Argos and Thebes as Alt servers if things get to laggy for me in Mycenae. I do want to reach level 30, so the mentor can get his rewards, I think he deserved more for all the help he gave me, so I be in and out going there to level up.

I see the Viking is like the Spearmen, do great damage, but can not take it, so need to gear up the Viking. Strange that a Axe user is not a tanker. Glad I read that a Viking (if going to use one ) is best on the second row, I put mine on the third row, to level him up, I waited till I got him to lvl 8 on the headless dudes, then went after the Margo Archers , I did not want to place him against archers till he had some higher stats.

I'll log in ItchyNevus and see if you are missing any info he has.
I read that , until they open up the rest of the world, 64% is max, so there is no way to obtain 100% yet. But still the bonuses you get for having complete info, is nice.

They did a pretty good job setting up a system to reward those helping others, but I see some abusing the mentoring system, just ninja inviting to be their apprentice, while never helping you. Those I drop, I give them 2 days to say something. Those are the ones I got the first couple days playing, now I just decline unless they ask first. You never know, it could just be a gold farmer.

Well going to see if maintenance is done.

I'm playing, it's my new addiction. Such a fun FREE MMO. Although I will admit I bought the extra inventory licenses from the item mall. Absolutely love the battle system, it actually involves strategy rather than spamming the same combo over and over. Got a level 37 spear on Thebes. Rolled a cannon also just for kicks and I'm having fun with it too.

[Imfir]

yeah if I had the cash to spend, I would get the extra inventory and a couple merc room lic.

but then again if I had $$, I would not be playing a free game , but still would get'em . I could easily survive with out the extra inventory, but I see needing a couple Merc rooms (Perm) would be nice.

Well had some not so pleasant moments on Mycenae, rather then get frustrated I started playing on Argos.

So now I can say, I play on Argos, I have not been to any other server for a while now.
The problem on Argos , being it is a new server, the Market there is way outta whack. It is driving mad/crazy and nothing else Broke. Since there are but only few higher levels . . the selling of advance books is really best to save for later or yourself.

Crafting, only problem with crafting so many others are doing the same, that making any gold crafting is but a dream. I do not mind someone undercutting the price to sell something, but the undercutting is really bad on Argos, that the only way to make $$ is from the loot, crafting it will cost you ( I did the math but can not find it) a whole lot more.
you got players undercutting the undercutter that is under cutting the other hundred or so undercutters . funny to see a fixed price of 16500g, and the product is selling for 16g , and if you craft the same item it'll cost you 4500 in material. kinda turns ya off from crafting.

I had mainly moved to Argos be cause the other servers are busy, and very laggy for me, and for now Argos is not.
AchaatXuun is the name and cannon is my game (on Argos)

[brohawk]

so on crafting you are saying that you could sell the item for 16,500g to a merchant, but that people are selling the items in AH for 16g when it costs them 4500g to make....

that doesn't make sense.... I mean if you want to make gold, sounds like crafting is a good way to do it if you sell to a merchant.

[Imfir]

no, the 16500, is the fixed price from the merchant. Selling to the merchant, no matter what it is, only sells for 10gold.

I was just pointing out, that it would cost 4500 in material to make yourself,(at fixed price, can be less) and to buy from merchant would cost you 16500 (which is the fixed price), but players have undercut the price so much, that the item now sells for 16g. Avg. price may be around 50g.

you kinda need crafting, but not a necessary. but if you want the crafting skill, your not going to be making any money from it, and I am pretty much just talking about Argos server, which is new, the other servers the market may have settled, or not .

So you kinda have a choice, make a bunch of mules, to hold the product till market settles, or save the storage space, and sell at a total loss.
