Allods Online Forum

i wish our reddit was more active, reddit is too addicting (and also great for up to date info when there's an active community)

Have your friends told you why they didn't stick with the game?

I've just started playing Allods and there are some little things that, while not game breakers for me, certainly make playing less pleasant than it could be. The camera shake while running, for example. If there is a way to turn it off I haven't found it yet. It actually starts to give me a headache after a little while. Normally I'd appreciate that extra attention to detail, but it's a little too jarring for my eyes/head apparently.

I know what has kept most folks away from the game in the past has been the ftp cash shop and all the angst associated with gPotato. Hopefully with them out of the picture and the subscription server up people will give the game another chance and slowly trickle back in. It's a tough situation though, what with all the competition in the MMO space now.

camshaking?! sounds horrible! ive never seen this though :O

if i let a char run the cam follows him still like it would be mounted on a smoot flying helicopter

what i dont like is that the FOV is no longer adjustable!

The camera bounces to the rhythm of my character running. It's not my computer. A lot of FPS games use the same effect. No idea what's going on if no one else is seeing it. The game runs smoothly for me, no stutter or framerate drop when spinning the camera quickly or anything like that. It's not like the run speed is fast enough to cause problems like that anyway.

Very weird.

I've noticed many old-timers coming back recently, Including myself. I counted approximately ten others returning this week alone. And that's only the hand full that posted on the forums. Surely many more are just playing and not minding the boards. The population is growing, but will it retain? The Allods Staff are working, maybe not as hard and actively as some would want, maybe some of them don't engage with the community first hand as most of us would like, but there's a big part of work being done behind the scenes. The outcome of their labor is somewhat lacking, for we have big expectation, but you can't please everyone, right? There's a compromise - it is up to us, the community to retain our fellow players. When you see someone giving up on the game, try to talk them out of it. Help a newbie with a quest, aid those needing of help etc. People will stay, they will spend and that will fund the Allods team... Although, I'm not sure if proper funding will result in bettering of the game itself.

- 2 cents.

Lol decided to log back into this server to only see it was as deserted as when I left.
Ultimately decided to head back to my F2P character lol.

Lol well blame all the ligs that didn't want to que for any skirmirshes or anything because we'd destroy them. Them not queing for PvP ultimately destroyed this server.

That applies to NA p2p only.

This.

Two weeks after EU server launch BGs were going pretty much all day, every day except for Thursdays (key day).

I'm sad people will only remember Black score for being exploiters (if at all). That guild really wanted things done. Had Maeron banned 4 people who actually exploited rather than 25+, this server would look much different now.

Can't be 100% positive on that, but I suspect that if Black score wasn't destroyed, their mortal enemies on the empire (Natural selection) would not have left the server either. Competition between those two was so fierce (and so even), this is what the server needs - two guilds of 'mortal enemies', one of each faction.
