^ Guessing you are Canadian, then?!
Could you explain how the UI works, how combat works
eg that boot is that the movement pad? Can you fight and move atst?
Anything informative, plz!
eg what you like/don't like...
Txs!
Here's pricing so far:
Quote:
The first three months' subscription comes free with your first log-in. After that, Order & Chaos costs 99c per month, $1.99 for three months, or $2.99 for six months. [...] Order & Chaos is only live in Canada at the moment, with worldwide availability to be confirmed.
Well now that it's in the US App Store I am going to purchase it and give it a whirl. I just need to confirm with Apple that when subscribing for more membership for Order & Chaos that it will take from my Gift Card balance first and not my Debit Card.
Other than that it looks great, price point is nice and cheap $0.99 = 1 month, $1.99 = 3 months, $2.99 = 6 months (Best Deal).
How did I not know this was out already? Anyway, I'm not paying 6.99 for it. I'll wait till a lite version come out or it goes on sale (which it likely will). Let us k ow how it is, though!
I bought it!! Omg it's a great game.
This game is a must buy. This game feels like vanilla wow in aspect.
Toons name is...
Tank
I forget what server I'll have to check. All I know it starts with the letter "a" and last word is forest.
Ya this game looks unreal, some actual competition for PL. Not even gonna buy it tho....i can see myself wasting to much money on it. Plus its a monthly fee after the 3 first free months, only a dollar but still lol.
Well ATM im in class sO I'll Post a full review when I get home later. But so far it's amazing. We start with what looks to be 3 free months
Moarpewpew what race did you pick? My order chars name is Zojak. And chaos is Axim
O&C is a legit WoW in your pocket. :p
Anywho back to writing notes :(
Yeah, just saw the subscription info. Not a fan of monthly fees bc then I'll feel pressure to play. 6.99 is a bit much without being able totry it for free first. Hoping they'll offer a free trial period. Other than that, 2.99 for 6 mos isn't too bad.
darkspore is amazing... better than PL if i dare say. as of yesterday when it came out XD
Also. I'm on that forest server too. Let's make a PL guild!
I'll buy it when gameloft proves themselves. So far PL has treated us to constant updates and fixes, while gameloft usually dumps their games.
I can see how it might be innicially better than PL since is IS gameloft we are talking about. Their starter content always makes you believe the game might go somewhere...
Not a big fan of being totally reliant on Wifi, I like how I can play PL anywhere on 3g.
Wow, that darkspore game looks right up my ally. superss can you provide me with a little more info. Do you keep a hero/champion and lvl him up, or is it new every time you play? Also, can you play on 3g?
Edit: awww dude, it's not even a mobile game!
I just got it.
Initial impression was that they were trying to squeeze as much as they could into the UI, didn't like it.
Exactly like WoW too, not a big fan there.
And if I'm not mistaken, you only get to choose 3 hotkeys for skills? Even the main supposedly Auto-attack button is for jumping, your real auto attack you have to hotkey into one of your three slots, leaving you 2 for skills.
Chat is bad too, constantly popping in and out of your screen when something new appears, and so hard to actually try and chat while playing.
9 bucks wasted and PL > O&C IMO. The UI in itself already makes me want to stop playing, it's like they forgot that we're actually playing on devices and not on PCs.
Elly. Hold and rotate the skill bar. It's like a wheel. Theres actually about 9 buttons PLUS the side panel u can put skills and pots on
I see, but that brings in my other dislike for the game, its all the swiping on all these small options.
I'd understand for Infinity Blade, you have the entire screen to swipe away on, but the essence of an MMO, IMO, is quick and strategic playing. The swiping on skills alone puts the introduction of GCD close to nothing when it comes to slowing down game play.
I think PL spoiled me, they've just made the UI so easy to use and fun to play.
I definitely agree PL has spoiled us all. And I'm ok with that :D
Also I agree PL is better but I still want to give o&c an honest try before I give up on it :). It's defs not a game type for everyone that's for sure. But I'd still like to make a small guild there for PL players to join and play together in. Until it's time for B*
True, O&C is new after all. I'm frankly just disappointed. O&C was much anticipated, even though it was from Gameloft, and all this hype that built up makes it seem very overrated now.
Definitely not a game I'd recommend to players that go from PL to O&C, it made me appreciate PL much more. I'll wait for B* :p
My biggest issue with it so far is the crazy high level cap. And the awful chat system. Well see how it goes when I get home tho
I'll have to get back to you On that one. I don't get wifi at school so I can't play untill I'm home. But as for combat so far. It's exactly like a computer MMO. As a Mage you have a spell windup time for some spells. And some are Instant. Being a former WoW player and a current LotrO player it is nIce seeing some PC MMO style implimented into an iOS game. And I am Super happy they had a guild system right away. (the big thing PL lacks big time).
Once I play some more I'll make an official review thread and include some screenshots of good/bad things if I can :)
Elly what server and side you on? I'm still downloading it so I have no clue on it so far. Looks way to slow though
PS for those that have your device jailbroken you can use my3g to make the game think it's running on wifi but don't know f this game uses to much bandwith unlike PL that uses very little.
Top dog. Btw your ign isn't related to:

Orc Warrior, American.
Found it weird too, tried connecting to Asian server (since Oceania is probably closer to it), and I got a "You might lag" warning. :p
Found it way harder to play the WoW aspect on a device. It was insanely fun on a PC due to the mods you could get, different hot key abilities, etc, I'm just really disappointed with almost the entire UI of the game =/
Chat - Bad. Hard to type, hard to read, hard to do emotes, hard to even bring up the chat menu.
Combat - Seemed like WoW initially, maybe it'll get more interesting in the later levels and with a group
Customization - Seems minimal, aside from gear of course. The only thing that would differentiate is probably spells/talents, no mastery stuff, though I guess WoW has always been like that.
Camera - Seems standard. Swipe to rotate, pinch to zoom.
Premium Currency - I'm not sure how pricing will go, but you can buy direct gold for $$$. Hopefully it'll be as expensive as Plat>Gold here, or else, well you know.
I'd want to get into the game more, at least get to some serious game play, but honestly the UI just stops me. It'll take hours and hours to get to some serious game play, so I'd rather spend that time on PL. Lol
And For moving and casting it depends. If there's ca cast time then no. If it's instant cast then yes
The skill wheel? It seemed like a revolver, moves per click, you can swipe it softly once to click once, or try harder and you'd get 2-3 clicks. Found it confusing since you'd probably want to switch targets and need different skills. The buttons are small too =/
As for attacking and moving, I think the same thing as WoW applies, where you need to be facing your target. I was a warrior, so melee and it was relatively easy to fight since I can move around the target and attack. I wouldn't know on ranged/spells :)
Coolio, thanks for the info. Like to keep tabs on the mmobile scene. :) I think PL combat is fun but it can improve a lot also..
Wow I'm surprised to hear that. I actually prefer swiping. I like games that take advantage of the touchscreen and don't just put buttons everywhere. Actually, one of my main gripes with DD's UI is that to scroll through paws and pages of items and lists of stats, etc -- you have to press buttons instead of just swipe scrolling. I like that Gameloft games use touch scrolling. But still, waiting for more feedback before making a decision on this game. I think it will take some time to see how well Gameloft maintains it and whether they have any communication with the players. I don't think they're used to something like this, so will see how they approach it. They can't just catch and release with this one. They need to be able to hold onto their players.
I don't mind swiping, if only I could learn the swipe shortcuts for the emotes here on PL, I'd use them too. The swiping is just on a really sensitive part though, the skills. It was really hard enough to tap them without having to look at them because of the size (might be because of iPad, it's probably proportionate in the iPhone but hasn't been optimized for iPad yet?).
Remember how people were complaining when GCD came out that the emphasis of the battle shifted from the character/mobs to the skills instead? While waiting for the GCD to finish? I feel the same way here on the skill swiping, having to look for the skill that I want to do, then swipe to look for the next or so.
I really wish Gameloft luck too, since from what I've been reading and have experienced, they can't compare to the support we get here.
Ah I see how that can be a problem. And it's not just something you can get used to?
Maybe with enough feedback, they'll tweak it?
So far the reviews in the app store are all 5 stars. But it's just the first day. I'm waiting to see what people have to say after at least a week or two -- if they find any bugs, issues, etc and whether Gameloft fixes it quickly.
Also, do they have the ability to send quick patches through? I've seen with DD how awfully frustrating it can be to have to wait 2+ weeks every time they discover a bug. Even with PL -- the one time we had to wait for the join friends -- it made t hard to play. I doubt PL would have the success it has if they didn't have the ability to quick-patch. So if Gameloft has that and is on top of bugs and issues, they'll have a much better chance at success than if we have to wait weeks for any tiny change, like in DD (still waiting for 5.0 and the return of the ability to sell in between waves -- was promised like 2 mos ago -_-').
Hmm, Gameloft would probably be put to the test when it comes to tweaking :)
I'm not sure on how quick they can patch through.. It did say "Checking for updates" when I was connecting to the servers though, but haven't experienced actually downloading a patch yet.
To be honest, I don't think the game will suit me with how I'm used to PL. :p They'd need a major rehaul on their UI for me to like it. Lol
Ok made 3 toons all on the arcadia forest server
Echelon - human mage
Echelong - Orc warrior
Echelongx - Undead archer
I can't play yet and I have no idea how to add people -__- I will have to figure it all out later.
I think I probably WOULD enjoy it, because I like many Gameloft games. But still, hefty price tag before getting to try it. I've bought many games based on the free lite versions -- it can only benefit them if they're confident with their product.
Man this game has a subscription plus runes and gold to buy.... and they don't even have a proper forum for a game like this only the gameloft forums and they suck. like Les said if they make updates like that have for DD this game is gonna go down the drain fast.
I hope they have patch-like updates of PL too. From what I've experienced, everytime Gameloft has updates for a certain game, you need to download the entire game again.
