Cabal (not the old arcade game)

[justom]

Hey everyone! Add me. I'm Justom. Level 8 Blader.

^_^ I'm usually on Mercury Channel 14.

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.

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

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.

http://cabal.mmosite.com/content/200...10101850.shtml shows you everything you need to now about auras and battlemode.

I'm a level 30 Warrior in Merkury Channel 8. Username= Xarfox. Our soon-to-be guild is already known for PvP action

[Zageron]

I guess I should post this separately.

If anyone wants a fully tagged album of CABAL BGM, in ether .mp3 or .ogg, just PM me.

[Coolboyrulez0]

See my custom title.
I won't be able to play for a while.
See ya guys.

[macgravel]

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

[nestlekwik]

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

(I'm at 27 now).

[Litodude]

Oh and lets make it clear now: Wizards are the fastest in leveling up. Then comes a combination of Bladers/Force Archers. Warrior and FS are slowest, but are GODLY in the later levels (primarily the FS since it's a fuccen tank).

[Coolboyrulez0]

Guild name FFRules.
No that's dumb.
FFRevenge, no.
FlashFlashRevolution, no.
FFRFans, no.

I can't think of anything

[macgravel]

Hah, I've now got 1,015,670 money

Level 30, too!

[tsugomaru]

I win, I hit 1.2 mil.

While I'm dancing for SP, I'm going to post more pictures.


Coolest map of the three.


Found my weapon.


This is why Force Shielders kick ass, they take no damage from anyone.




Buddy list, again.


There's a bunch of quests to kill these guys.


I can take more than this, but this was all they had.


Battle Mode, counter attack


It's a shiny like orb.


Crappy picture of it in crappy action




The first shield to beat my old one that I can wear.


Playing with the camera.




This is why my battle mode rocks. I do as much damage as they deal to me, the skeletons do about 70 damage normally so they take 70 damage, however, I only take 2 because of all my armor.


Intestines


More Counter Attack action




I hit 1 mil in this picture


More Counter Attack action


You can miss doors because they are nimble


More Counter Attack action

*Miss* *Miss* *Miss* *1!* *Miss* *miss* xD fun..yea im at 530k for Money ;/..Chaos Lamps ftw..

[tsugomaru]

I never really used SP until I was level 30. I was too lazy to perfect my combo timing, and the level 20 aura sucked crap because I get a random boost of damage where I basically kill things slightly faster. However, when you hit level 30, the battle mode you get is amazing. You save your sp and when you are fighting mobs of 5 or greater or while you are doing dungeons, you just pop it and things die so much faster and you get way more xp.

[LazyShadow]

lol its just leveling xD....but yea ill get there,Am i supposed to be a Tank or something lol?

[tsugomaru]

There appears to be no actual aggro management in this game meaning you will never truly be able to "tank". However, you can take quite a bit of hits from monsters. Other classes have problems surviving in mobs that we could afk in.

Also, the guild name should just be FFR. It's simple.
