Official Alien Oasis 3: Trials of the Overlord Feedback Thread

**Justg** · 10-04-2010, 12:04 PM

It's out folks... please give us your feedback in this thread!

* The "Alien Oasis: Part III" is now available! The Alien Warlord has returned to claim the realm of Alterra and enslave its inhabitants! Only you can defeat him and his cadre of inter-galactic villains...
* Level Cap raised to 50!
* Increased damage for several 2h swords (Longsword, Claymore).
* There is now a 'cloth helmet' appearance for lower-level Enchantress helms.
* Added several new Item Packs! Check out the "Explorer Pack" options for all character classes - featuring a nice collection of weapons, shields, helmets and armor for characters around Level 40. (Item packs include items from Level 40, 41 and 42. These item packs - like the Level 20 "Power Packs" - also have a chance of giving you items with very good stats!)
* New Elixirs have been added to the in-game store! The 'Levelers Liquid' gives you two and a half times the XP per kill. The 'Lucky Lixir' gives you a 35% chance for better loot roll! Also check out the "Dumpster Punch" which mixes the new XP and Luck potions with armor, damage and speed potions... (the "Trash Can Punch" is still available - but it does NOT include the new XP or Luck elixirs).
* The area of Warrior "Stomp" effectiveness at ranks 4 and 5 has been increased. Previously the area effect of 'Stomp' shrank by several meters between ranks 3 and 5 ;|
* On the skills screen, for a skill that is not ranked, display "This skill is not ranked" rather than showing the description of the first rank of a skill.

**Slush** · 10-04-2010, 01:57 PM

Omg!!, going on now

**Trollpackan** · 10-04-2010, 01:57 PM

Pretty cool! I like the alien "ghosts" as I called them, the black shadows...

Still searching for an epic loot though, hope it will come soon...

My first impressions are good. The pushover mobs of ao2 are no more in ao3 with them taking far longer to kill, this will hopefully bring an end to farming maps at high-speed that plagued ao2. Yet as most people are currently 45, 46 and some pushing to 47 we will have to see whether these maps can be farmed when people achieve level 50 and have far better equipment. The bosses that i have played against on maps 1-4 so far have been tough, especially the mage one on map 2 and so i would assume the maps following these will follow suit and be just as hard. Therefore my initial opinion is positive and i shall return now to the game and try to claim some of those epic new pinks.

**Galois** · 10-04-2010, 02:57 PM

I like it. I played up to the mini dungeon (at which point i lagged out repeatedly, which is to be expected for the expansion being only a few hours old) and have to say that AO3 is significantly more challenging than AO2. I'm looking forward to running through many more times.

**kavanah** · 10-04-2010, 03:25 PM

Ok here is my first feedback about AO3...

On part 5 you have the option of several different portals to go through. However, going through one removes all of your potions. Can you guys please fix it to where it wont do that? 12k wasted stinks =P

Also, everything else is awesome!

**Dizko** · 10-04-2010, 04:14 PM

Loving it.

Going pretty slow but thats a good thing.
I really like how boss fights actually take tactics and teamwork.

**SpeedWeed** · 10-04-2010, 04:19 PM

Ao3 is not casual friendly for sure.

Alot of effort but low return Lvl 47 dreamers dark matter does 2 more base/max damage than its lvl 45 counterpart. Ao3 is basically a gold sink

Items will definitely be impossible for casual players. U basically cant make it thru smoothly in ao3 without burning thru elixirs.

I'm afraid Sts over did it this time.

I appreciate increased difficulty. But ao3 is just crazy Shyt.

this sounds good.... ima have to beg my brother to let me buy plat with his itunes account... or if anyone else has an account i can buy 10 platium on that wouldd be awesome (i already have 11 plat)

devs will probly bannhammer me with that epic alien hammer for asking now XD

**setec** · 10-04-2010, 04:45 PM

Very tough but rewarding game play. However, I'm no longer spending gold on elixirs when I get killed in half a second. Maybe if I was a PL millionaire I could afford it.

Love the color on the floors inside the new maps. Anyone else think of the teal iMac from 98/99?

**Chickdigcookies** · 10-04-2010, 04:56 PM

its hard...the robot boss is a pain in the ***, and a pally/bear has a better chance to solo it then a full group. i know theres a strategy but its just too complicated.

mobs are tough, drop rates are ok.

over all 5/5

Yea my str bird ended up soloing it after whole team died, but with a attack and defense elixir I did it

Anyway, loving ao3. Haven't found any epic loot yet, only a lvl 47 desert dagger of horus. Drop rates are kinda bad considering how tough some of the bosses are ( Mage boss on map 2) I have yet to play through the mini dungeon, so I'll probably go check that out soon. Yes it is hard, and yes leveling up is hard. Graphics and aliens look great. So overall for my first impression I say 8.5/10

**Vyvin** · 10-04-2010, 05:23 PM

This map is the best map I've played I'm already 47 and it's great,
Love the dungeons turning into a space age technology
King mynas is a FROOB!
and the new aliens are uber cool!

AO3 has been perfected. i have no complaints.

**Snakespeare** · 10-04-2010, 05:31 PM

Got a pink the first time through, off of Gurgox. It was just a level 46 version of a level 45 item, but I didn't have the 45, so that's cool.

I'm glad that it's hard. I am glad that people won't be able to farm it to extinction. It seems like it was meant for playing in rather than making a few people rich.

I guess i will be playing it for a while, so I will give better feedback later. Thanks for the hard work! It seems good. I did crash once, but I can't recall what I was doing when it happened.
