I'd agree that ther...I'd have to disagree.<br /><br />I'd agree that there's not a lot new in Allods. But there is a fair amount that's newish, underused, or spread out across other MMOs that I find pleasantly collected.<br /><br />The talent/rubies mix is interesting to me. Sure, Final Fantasy has had talent grids, but the mix of points spent in talents (1/2/3 ranks and points) combined with the talent grids is neat.<br /><br />Most classes have a feature that's either unique or underused. Mages have Entropy, which encourages cycling of spells, and creates a metagame. Sure, it's similar to WAR's wizard build ups, but I think it's done better with the three elements.<br /><br />Scouts are viable as both melee and ranged. Ranged scouts get the quiver mechanic, which I haven't really seen anywhere else in that way. <br /><br />Paladins have the buffers, which again is an entire metagame in and of itself in playing with the damage, moving it, mitigating it.<br /><br />Warriors aren't tanks! That right there did it for me. Warriors can tank trash mobs like crazy, but have no real abilities in terms of boss tanks. They're damage. I like that.<br /><br />The melee healer is rarely done, but AO has a very viable melee healer spec (which will likely be mocked end game, but it's fun until then). I could continue, but....<br /><br />I've seen people say that Allods is actually more like WAR than WoW, and I tend to agree. But it's a WAR that doesn't have WAR's issues....<br /><br />I think, for me, Allods is a quite good game, with a number of elements I really, a very high level of polish, and, most importantly, it's free. <br /><br />Also, astral ships, and gibberlings.Ergonomic Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069025654665676431noreply@blogger.com
