Call it training if you will. Initially, there was a whole bunch of people that wanted to be all secretive about it. I had even asked a couple in-game - how?
Only to receive no response. Now, with the handicapped Mynas generation - I find even lvl 45 characters who act surprised if you ask them to use a specific spell. And even more surprised when the screen light’s up with the old combo text. Often you also find that many have not put skill points into specific spells that work towards execution of combos.
So, to the benefit of people that have simply been led, and even to the benefit of those that have simply led others through meaningless xp runs, we need to stop and make sure that everybody knows the full capabilities of their respective characters and how to use those in sync with other players on the server. Or you may as well disconnect us and give us an off line mode.
And someone has got to post this basic economic message in town. Economic principals dictate that time is the most valuable resource. Not imaginary in-game gold. Therefore it is prudent to use your spell’s and abilities and consume mana if you must to do so. This I find because there are often a few enlightened characters in dungeons who act as if using a spell is as good as dying. As a result of which, a dungeon that should theoretically be cleared by x no. of characters in y minutes; end’s up taking y+10 minutes because someone is (for whatever misconstrued reason) afraid to use their mana. Perhaps a bulletin board in general would be helpful to find groups. Archer - knows of combos. Not afraid to use spells. Looking for team that is not a waste of time - thnks. I don’t know.
But the Combo training. Someone’s got to do it. So if not default instruction in quest scenario then Dev’s please come to town and teach.
