Ragnarok 2: The Ragnaroking with a revengeance

Bells · 05-05-2013, 10:36 PM

So... Ragnarok 2 has just hitted Steam!

Free to play, completely revamped and updated version of the Classic MMO i'm sure a lot of you know and kinda love or totally hate at this point...

At first the game was not avaliable on my region in the steam store... but out of curiosity i learned a neat trick... one of my steam friends started playing the game! I clicked his name... chose "launch game". Since i don't have the game... steams identify this and gives me the option to DOWNLOAD the game.

Lo'and behold, 4GB later, i have Ragnarok 2.

Barely scrapped the surface of this game... will get more into it later, but i wanted to share just a couple of things...

It does look and feel like classic ragnarok with a 3D, current Gen MMO feel.

Now you pick a class and a profession.

5 minutes in, in the noob region of the map, the chat was being spammed with requests of Healers for parties. So i guess the gameplay hasn't changed much.

You now also pick a profession alongside your class. I Made an Cook Archer! But you can make an Acolyte blacksmith if you want...

The first area has a pool of Baby poorings that constatly spawn so you can practice combat and clear the first few quests... it's.... kinda weird seeing a bunch of player literally curb stomp these pink bubbles that are literally called "Baby Poorings" as soon as they are born into the field.... it's a massacre!

Also, my PC is no powerhouse by any stretch of imagination... but it is also far from being a shitty PC. However, i do feel this game going a bit sluggish, even though it's not much far from what we see in every cartoony MMO out there... maybe it was because it's in beta, or because it was a player-heavy area... but buyer beware!

You auto-attack with the mouse right click. But if you are not looking AT your target, you stop attacking. Try to attack and move......

Also, Mouse with left button to turn camera, W to walk forward, Q and E to strafe side to side.

Emoticons are back, and Animations are there for roleplayers... there is a Hadouken and a Shoryuken animation, plus Rock-Paper-Scissors.

And this is my 10 minute report on Ragnarok 2. Anybody willing to give it a try?

I saw a pretty rad Ad for it on youtube.

It looks pretty interesting, so I might give it a try one of these days if it supports Gamepads. If not I'll find a way around it (I love joy2key).

Why would they switch that? Is it because you don't click to move anymore? Is moving the camera with a left-click some new standard I've missed from not playing videos on my computer for ten years, like iron sights and pay-to-win?

And are there still pet Munaks?

You move like in any regular MMO now, but instead of binding the camera to mouse movement, you have to hold the button to move the camera and you move with QWES. No "click to go" anymore

And yes. You do have pets... also mounts. Cause... modern.

What? This is pretty standard stuff, left click to interact, right click for camera. What is wrong with them?

The click interface is standard MMO.

It's the standard QWEASD with strafing and turns.

The game is vanilla MMO with extra vanilla.

akaSM · 05-06-2013, 03:27 AM

I like vanilla; would I like this?

Please note that since the death of that silly first game some of you played, I have copyright on the usage of the acronym "RO". Therefore, if you want to play this and start calling it "RO", bugger off.

Except for Sonic The Hedgehog. No copy right law in the universe can stop him.
