Dancing increases SP.

Now I know why people dance often.

Re: Cabal (not the old arcade game)

Even on the highest graphical settings, the textures still aren't great. I know it's my graphics cards fault, but the textures aren't my main concern.

The controls are NOT the same as any other MMORPG. In a regular MMO you can simply change your view from behind, using your rightclick on the mouse, and hold the forward button. It then moves you in the direction your camera is facing. None of the three perspective settings do this in CABAL.

The path mapping DOES suck. By path mapping I am talking about the boundaries that prevent the 3D models of users characters from walking through another object in game. Characters, for example, have a collision size of 1. (It may vary.) However buildings have a collision size that fits the size of the 3D model.

I find that if I'm trying to walk around a building, and I clip the edge just SLIGHTLY, I will get stuck and walk forward in the same place. In WoW and GuildWars, if this happens, you simply glide along the edge of the building until you reach an unpathed area.

Understand now?

My roommate and I are on the same wireless network, so we have the same IP address. Would we be able to play on the same server?

Most likely.

And Zageroth, you're complaining about the camera angles, when all you have to do is hold the right click and move the camera every once in a while? Like when you come out of a portal? You're right. That makes or breaks a game.

Level 23 and going to sleep now. Eight in the morning, have to work today. =(

EDIT: Also, lightning is better than ice for magically inclined people. Has a better magic amplification or something like that (saw it in the stats when I was viewing my skills).

During the combos, the ratings add bonus EXP to the hits. You can also add up your SP by attacking enemies for a while (kind of like in a fighting game) or when open beta ends, you can get the option to attack training dummies just outside of town to fill up. But, if you have time, to kill, going to get something to eat, bathroom, whatever, dancing is a good way to do it. Just remember you can use only skills (can you use magic - I'm a warrior and, yeah, I don't do the whole magic thing) during a combo. I'm waiting until class level 11 or whatever it is so you can simulatenously battle aura and combo launch.

Yeah, the path mapping and clipping is a little weak, but in a completely free game, I won't complain about it. I've adjusted enough to where I know where not to walk and I rarely get clipped. If anyone is really having a lot of camera problems, you can press 'page down' to cycle through a handful of camera settings and holding right mouse and dragging moves the camera (as does the arrow keys). I'd have to dig around to see if there is a snap to behind command. While the camera isn't perfectly, I fail to see how it is so much more difficult than other games (I've played a lot of Playstation One era games *shudder*)

I don't see why you couldn't Pinoyskillz unless you're at a college with super strict settings or whatnot. My girlfriend and I play online titles all the time together. One time we used four laptops on the same wireless IP to play a game of Albatross 18 at our house.

I need to see these other BAs. The ice aura looks cool and it does some good damage. We'll have to have a BA modeling showcase sometime.

According to OGPlanet, the game is designed for a wide range of specs and will work on a good number of computers.

Minimum Configuration: Windows 95/98/2000/XP OS, Pentium 3 800MHz; 256 MB RAM, 2GB+ Hard Disk Space, Any DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card, 3D graphics accelerator, 4x CD-ROM drive, A 56k or better Internet connection.

I would like to think you have at least that. It's always worth a shot. The worst that could happen is it won't work.

thanks for the info I'll try dling it but I think there's something wrong with my computer that'll inhibit me from playing i, but it's worth a try

I guess I should post this separately.

The GamersHell mirror should be the fastest.

Looks like my computer is going wonky. Stupid slow thing.. Ah well. Yeah yeah.. harder to get a constant download when everyone in the house uses the same computer.

Re: Cabal (not the old arcade game)

I'm typing this up in the 90 or so seconds my counter attack is on.

The best upgrades are hp and reflex. Reason? You will have money to buy mana potions, don't waste points on mana, your mana pool slowly increases every level. HP allows you to actually take hits when you are running through red zones to get to an instance. And reflex improves Defense Rate, which is a stupid synonym for dodge. You start out with +33% dodge and it increases 10% every level you put into it.

EDIT: Also, it's either everybody is lying or I'm really good with making money. I've gotten what? 3-4 jackpots since I started playing, two of which came from the lvl 1 mobs. I've found only one lamp. A lot of people have said they've found 3-4 lamps and way more than 5 times the amount of jackpots I have and they say they don't have the cash to buy their ****. I almost have 1 mil and I buy my mana pots in bulks of 200 which lasts me 30-40 minutes.

EDIT2: Also, with Reflex and autoheal rings and necklaces, I can afk just about anywhere I want.

EDIT3: Apparently, I've solo'd the infamous thief guild, but we're still going to kill unrelated skeleton warriors just to make sure they are completely gone.

EDIT4: By killing the Skeleton Warriors, we were able to figure out that several members of the thief guild escaped and have transformed into Vampires. They are still the thief guild.

EDIT5: Yay I found a Chaos Lamp.

EDIT6: The arkonis never have feathers, despite being a bird.

I'm 10K from having 1 million, so I don't see what's so hard about getting it either.

Enerois just hit level 40. What should we be naming our guild then?

Re: Cabal (not the old arcade game)

Haha, I was planning to make a thread about this today. You beat me to it nestle :P

Just remember you can use only skills (can you use magic - I'm a warrior and, yeah, I don't do the whole magic thing) during a combo. I'm waiting until class level 11 or whatever it is so you can simulatenously battle aura and combo launch.

You can use magic in your combo- it is a skill.

You can't use your Aura and combo at the same time, until your skill experience levels up to 10. At level 30, you get a class specific "battle mode" that's similar to Aura but a lot more powerful.
