TTK is the biggest flaw I see in Allods

Stratford

I like the game a lot, it's got great potential.  But I've tried 4 classes so far, and the time to kill metric is MUCH too slow.  In fact in betas, it's usually turned up a tad so folks can help test higher levels of content.  But the way it is now?  It's simply too boring.  Combat is the key to this game (as most themepark MMOs), and folks simply won't stand for the solo TTK metric the way it is.  I know it's fine for grouping and even duoing, but if you deny the fact that most folks approach F2P MMOs as soloers, your head's in the sand.

 

I don't want 1-shot kills at level 1, duh, don't be an idiot and go down that straw argument route.  I'm just saying the TTK needs a tweak for Allods to hold onto any substantial western player numbers.

I couldn't agree with you more. That and the world wasn't populated, but it is a closed beta, that will come. The #1 thing that I saw wrong with the game is that it was a grind. Similar to Aion, and people are bleeding out of that game.

It seems like there arent much quests translated in european CBT. In russian OBT there was no grind. TTK is... random? You can 2hit some mobs (like man-eating-tigers in holy lands -2.5k hp low resits and almost no anticrit) and some mobs (like bareassed rhinos - ~6k hp, high armor, resists and huge anticrit) may take 20 seconds to kill.

I hope it will be fixed. getting 25% resists when it says 0% chance of enemy of same lvl to resist your spell sux, add 100% crit (you crit 35% of time) and 10% to be hit with crit (when the actual % is 50)

p.s. at least they've fixed the mob damage 2k crits (OBT launch) to 500 (2 days ago)... slowpokes.

This is my one complaint with the game. It does take too long to kill the same level mob. I would rather give/take more damage so it wouldn't take so long.

What I've heard is they turned down the exp we get from quests and mobs and such. This is so everyone doesn't reach lvl 10 in a day and sit around with nothing to do. They want us to take it slow and test all the material. This most likely affects the time it takes to kill a mob as well.

Yes, this is true. I played the russian OBT and its easy for even a retarded monkey to get to lvl 10 within 3 hours there.
