Re: [DMM] Troy Game Princess
Wonder if they are scrapping the whole thing if there's no date for open beta.
Oh well, was an amusing diversion. Never did get to try out mage AoE in pvp.
I don't think they'll scrap it, they're just being hush hush about it in case it takes longer than expected. They didn't announce when the CBT would start earlier either. I think that's wise, I wish more amateur developers did that.
I was level 24 on my Ice Mage so I never got to play with aoes either, but they are crazy powerful in pvp since most teams bunch up. A few mages can take out a good chunk of the enemy team (Which is why you will be focused to hell). 20+ Pvp is chaotic because of Mages, saw a few fire mages cripple most my team.
My complaint:
A Mage's escape skill (Teleport) needs to be aimed before you can use it and if you click past the activate range, it won't activate. In short: Teleport needs some work. It should activate even if you click beyond its range, just sending you as far as you're able to go in that direction. Maybe there's a way to automatically send yourself in the direction of your mouse when you click the skill (Smart casting), but I couldn't figure out how to do it. It certainly needs that. Wayyyy too cumbersome for an escape skill.
Not like most classes can't catch up to you quickly anyways with their movement skills, so saying it's difficult to use just because it can be aimed randomly is silly. It really needs to be something that just works the way you need it to instantly to stand a chance. Not like Mage's have a bunch of instant cast skills like most games. Even turning the camera to aim teleport behind you is a bit obnoxious already.
