My feed back

My opinion of Secret of solstice

Regarding the Ctrl + Attack, I would like to have this implemented where you can type a certain command so you don’t need to double click or hold ctrl and attack when attacking.

Gm’s Events

I really like that the fact there are active Game master that host a lot of events time to times or even every single day, but to some people it is unfair because they lived in another time zone, I would like for SOS to expands more events at different time zone so more people can play.

Npc

I notice that there are A LOT of spelling mistake in the message but this is just a beta. I am looking forward to this game and what it has in store.

Kill stealing feature

There is a lot of kill stealing which I really hate sometimes, could you put a feature where your party member can kill the monster your killing and priority is to whoever attack it first or if you run away from it than you can attack it!

Bugs
I only have found one bug in the mines where you can be away and attack with not getting any damage except 1-2 damage which I’m sure that you have know by now.

Lucky balls

I absolute LOVE this ! because it's like gambling and see what you get :cool: i think you should keep the lucky ball and it's completely fine as it is.

My rating for this game is 7/10 (I'm honest!) and im looking foward to it when it's officially open!

My thoughts on these fators......

Ctrl + Attack isn't bad though I dont see to big a deal between that and double clicking minus it maybe be a tiny bit difficult to double click certain mobs.

GM events
I liked having alot of active game masters and most of the events were pretty fun. Though I wasn't a big fan of the spawn tons of mobs and have lucky ball items drop. To me it ruins the experience of actually getting it for the first time from a lucky ball. I like the first time I get something its more fun. A lot of people prefer handouts like this but this is my opinion post = p

NPC
I too notice a lot of spelling mistakes but it IS beta and it will hopefully be worked out. Though to fix them easier it would be nice to have an easy way of reporting the mistakes. Like being able to send a tell to a zombie character (one that isnt being played) that keeps a log file of recieved tells (whispers). That way people can send a tell of NPC and the correct spelling for the text. Granted knowing how these games work it would probably be abused greatly but you can skip most of the random tells.

Kill Stealing
I personally HATE that anyone can attack what you're fighting and just a portion of the exp from it. Leechers are pretty much the most annoying thing in games ecspecially when they are botters. I really like the you hit it first you get full exp no matter who hits it after you. This too can be abused and there are fixes to it as well. Such as mobs that are x lvls higher then the character + the % of damage done under 50% of mobs hp and the mob is killed.... 0 exp. The abuse part of it is easy to figure out. Having a low lvl hit a high lvl mob and then having a higher lvl kill it for them.... hence my string you can figure in.

Bugs
Most all of the dungeons the things dont hit very hard its kind of odd. They have tons of hp but do very little damage. To me it doesnt make sense maybe no one worked on them I don't know.

Lucky Balls
I too love the feature and added to it I love that they expire. I would like to see some sort of "boss" monster drop lucky ball items that dont expire though or just drop items themselves would be nicer actually. (Don't know much about bosses nor have I actually ever seen / heard of any)

My biggest peeves
The biggest problem I have with the entire game is this. If mobs are going to aggro let them aggro. If snakes want to aggro you make all snakes aggro.... for the love of god. If bears don't want to.... make none of them. Thats the biggest problem I have. Some things are aggressive while others of the exact same mob type... arent. It makes no sense, and quite frankly is really annoying. I can't count how many times id be sitting there and things would walk by and then randomly 1 just hits me.... why did that one attack and the others not?

Rating
Anyhow rating time. Granted it was closed beta and I didnt get to see everything. I'm really hoping the other classes are implemented well. Overall the spelling in npc text hasn't been too attrocious though a few I wonder if the people putting in the text were asleep when typing. Not seeing one boss or interesting unique creature was kind of annoying. Even at lower levels there should be some. Lucky balls are great features and the game looks great. The music..... not sure I hated the mob sounds so I usually played on mute with windows media player in the background. There aren't too many serious bugs to worry about from my personal experience. That being said I'll go 7/10 as well. It'd get a much higher rating (ok not much maybe an 8) if the kill stealing was fixed and the stupid monster aggro. Though I think the game is coming along nicely. OB will introduce the famous gold spammers which I think there should be an easy way to report / get rid of them. Reporting them to a GM takes longer for the GM to act then it does to have them make a new account. There has to be an easier way to get rid of them. Like make a feature (only useable in town) like report. If 20 people report them in a 2 min time span they are moved to a jail area where they don't get out until theyve spoken with a GM. I know this was supposed to be rating but I got off track. Anyhow heres to seeing everyone I knew from CB in OB and meeting new faces as well.... Enjoy.
