Dungeon Runners

Free for the basic package and then you can buy more content or something like that.

Has anyone tried it? I did in beta and was underwhelmed, but I'm toying with trying it again.

This part (plus the no fee) appeals to my about-to-be-a-new-dad schedule:

Some dungeons can be completed quickly, rewarding those who can only invest 15 minutes a play session. Greater dungeons, however, will provide a deep, rich, questing experience for those who want to go on longer runs or multi-part quests.

I tryed it right after beta as well and was not impressed.

Yea I'm running into new dad time limits lately myself.

I may give it a run with ya once my pirates month ends if I don't stay with that game.

Put up what you think of how the game is now and maybe is worth a looksee.

Sounds like Mythos is the other game in this category:


Both appear Diablo/Guild Wars-like.

Tried DR at beta too. I know it is free, but even then the graphics were really tough for me to look at.

QFT lol. I'm a admitted graphics whore.
I can't stand low grade graphics unless it's a 10+year old game. Even then it irks me.

For that make the game 2d and look nicer.

There is some really cheap ways to get nice graphics.
Cel Shading for example.
2d with the illusion of 3d is fine.

Puzzle Quest looks better than DR IMO rofl.

I will check out that other game you linked though winin.

How do you download Mythos? I can't get a link or an account going.

Entered my email and it said accepted, but then nothing.

[Winin]

I haven't tried it, I just found the link to it.

I signed up for beta also.

The game mechanic seems like Diablo 1: town area with quests and merchant, then into a randomly generated instanced dungeon. When you log out, the dungeon resets (i.e. you have to fight all the level 1 monsters to get down to level 2 again). You can use town portals to get up and down quickly.

I just finished the noob tutorial area, but I haven't gone to the main town yet.

Playing, you have gear (again, like Diablo) that has tons of bonuses to one class or another (or to more than one class), and you have skills. Anyone can use any skill or gear, so you can change class easily and mix and match skills (e.g. to make a sword-based fighter who shoots lightning bolts).

Fights so far have been linked groups of mobs that swarm you. You click to do your basic attack and right click for a special attack. Then you have 8 other skill slots you can use (as hotkeys). Starting out, you get 2 skills you can use and 2 passives.

It seems to have voice chat built in, so I bet grouping up to crawl a dungeon would be a lot of fun.

Did I mention clicking? As a fighter, each time you swing your weapon, you have to click. Clicky clicky clicky click. Then some more. And more. Man, I miss auto attack. Also there is no auto-run, so more clicking or holding down a key.

So hmm, it is basically fun (go crawl through a dungeon and collect randomly generated gear with randomly generated stats), and low risk (death = having to run back down), but all the clicking will kill my hands and wrists in a short time.

Bottom line, I'll probably play some more and find an aoe build that does less clicking, then I'll play in little chunks. Not a good game for marathon playing or playing every day.

My char is named Winin if anyone tries it.

[Aberrant]

I'll give it a go sometime soon.

[Winin]

It would be a great little time killer if it just had auto-attack and auto-run. Kind of a mmo-rogue.

[Thrakus]

well I believe it has Diablo like mechanic of holding down the mouse button and the char keeps attacking.

I will give it a go.

Free = good.

I may roll a mage since they have more AOE potential. And at least add a challenge to it ;D

I'll screw around with it though.

[Macaubre]

Even tho I gave Mythos.com my email address, I haven't heard from them... We will see. Seems that Winin's getting in all the betas nowadays....

[Winin]

Only beta I'm in now is a tech beta for an upcoming MMO, and that runs for 3 hours on Sunday mornings once a month. Whoop whoop!

It looks like you can respec any time you want and re-gear too. I got my fighter to the first town. Now I'll take a mage through the newb area and see how mages are. I like the pretty lights and less furious clicking of the mage. But maybe fighters get better with better skills.

[Thrakus]

well I think this will be my only PC game till WAR, unless WAR gets pushed and Age of Conan turns out to be good.
Not decent, but good.

Yea I liked fighter alot when I played, but I will try the other classes as well.

**Note

Left Click Move or attack monster (cursor turns into a sword icon); holding down left mouse button allows you to continue running in that direction or continue attacking; ALSO see Skill Bar.

Right Click Behaves the same way as Left Clicking except this button will never command your character to move; holding down right mouse button allows you to continue attacking; ALSO see Skill Bar.

Yea so save that wrist rofl.


LMAO Check out these fighter skills

* Way of the Roo - You were raised by a semi-domesticated pack of kangaroos that taught you the secret art of Kung Roo. Their teachings have provided you with an innate ability that gives you 25% increased speed with all melee weapons.
* Health Nut - You have spent more time in the gym than entire sports teams combined. You have the ideal human physique. The downside - you have a hard time reading your name, much less writing it. For every point of Endurance you gain almost 38 Hit Points. The endless focus on your body has deprived your brain of exercise. Every point assigned to Intellect will only give you 9 Mana

What world are you all playing in?

I'm gonna assume world 1 for now.

Did anyone wanna try the pvp?

[Thrakus]

WOW much more improved than when I played. Looks cleaner.
Plays better.

Made a mage Thrakus on World 1.
