Ragnarok Online 2 Legend Review

Page 4 of 4

Mounts and Stuff

It's a good thing that there are no silly long quests that you must do to obtain a mount in RO2 Legend. After hitting level 15, I immediately returned to Prontera to look for the NPC where I can purchase my mount. Thankfully, the maps are marked very well, it didn't take me long to find the Peco Peco stables. I was given a choice between buying a tiger looking mount or the original peco mount. It's pretty darn obvious which one I was going to pick right? For a mere 10g, I immediately purchased my new mount and finally quit the game. The only thing that kept me going through the grind in the 2nd CBT earning my mount, I love Peco Peco's and I wanted to ride one badly. I only wished that they would give you the mount a little bit earlier, since there will be a bunch of quests that will require you to run all around Prontera.

PECO PECO!!!

Conclusion

With all the money gravity has, it makes me wonder why the game feels a bit low budget. Perhaps the remake was a bit rushed or maybe they were trying too hard to be unique. Gravity is hard at work with all the bugs that came up during the 2nd CBT, they seem to have open ears to what the community wants. I hope by the time the 3rd CBT starts, the game would have improved drastically. In my opinion, the 2nd CBT of Ragnarok Online 2 Legend of the Second failed. It's way far from being complete, a lot of issues needs to be re-addressed and looked into. I felt like the game didn't have much of an appeal as a returning RO1 and RO2 player. At this point, RO2's situation is looking kind of grim, it doesn't look very worth it for a P2P game. Maybe if it was F2P with cash shop, it might just have a chance! Thank you for reading my Ragnarok Online 2 Legend of the Second CBT 2 review, I hope to see you again next time! Gravity please do your best! Fighting~

    I've been wanting RO2 since they announced it waaaay back. The 1st rendition I was like, "huh? it looks like those generic mmos we can get for free." Glad they scrapped that. Then hearing that they were going to make it close to the original, I was thinking, I wouldn't mind getting the same thing in 3d. Maybe add stuff, but keep everything else as it was. But reading on this and seeing some of the videos, It's a bit sad. They're having a hard time living up to the original RO. So I hope they can still improve it. For me, RO was and still is one of the best mmos out there.

    It seems Gravity has thoroughly lost the plot with RO2 and abandoned several key elements which defined and made RO1 successful.

    People loved the beatiful sprite-on-3d-environment aesthetics. It was unique, it was gorgeous, and it was an excellent combination of two art styles together. If I watched the above videos without any titles or sounds, I would have no idea what game it was cuz it looks the same as EVERY low budget korean MMO out there.

    RO1 encouraged frantic spamming and mashable abilities, bosses were fast and flinch locking (on both monsters and players) became a common part of both PVP and MVP. Spells looked exaggerated and spectacular (Gloria!! Angelus!!) and people enjoyed hanging around towns or other players to show them off. It encouraged communication a lot of the time because new-comers would ask questions and people regularly exchanged advice and info about builds/skills. These RO2 gameplay videos can be summarized in two words: ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! Not reminiscent of RO1 gameplay at all and there is virtually nothing innovative or appealing about the gameplay compared to a lot of existing mmos or pretty much all quality mmos in development.

    TL;DR - The graphics are generic and they suck. The gameplay is generic and it sucks. Sadly this appears to be just a generic, low-budget Korean MMO :(

    I guess Grav were afraid of some of the issues they couldn't resolve with RO1, by making RO2 completely 3D (Botting...) buuuutttt, the game sux... RO1 is my favourite game of all time, and I've been playing it for 8 years now. I would just want an RO1, but with better graphics/security and a reworking of the game mechanics to make it more reminiscent of transcendent but with its own unique twists - new classes/skills/quests/maps(world)/ general sense of technological enhancements.... If they want RO1 to truly have the level of players it DESERVES, they need to understand WHY people played it in the first place. So far, this ain't it ='/

    4 me RO2 LOTS got the looks, but they mess up with the skills 'PASSIVE SKILLS' like Double/triple attacks, u have 2 be a keyboard smasher all the time lvling:( w/c is irritating u keep pressing a skill w/o CD? wew, and some skill animation & sound effects are dumb like Grand cross. Mostly Character,Items,UI etc. related issues went wrong.

    RO2 has become a very generic game. I myself am a huge fan of RO1, and had been playing it for more than 7 years. Eventually I quitted the game due to my life commitment. Was really really excited when RO2 announced, and was planning to give it a try. The game turns out to be a total crap. A Ragnarok game without the freedom to pump your stats? You don't even need to give it a second thought that this game is gonna fail big time.

    Having played the OB, my impression of RO2 is that it's a generic MMORPG. Generic movement, generic graphics, generic 'click and use hotkeyed skills with cooldown' gameplay, generic music...generic everything.

    Why didn't they get SoundTEMP to do the music again? Why are the quests "Kill X Monster" and "Talk to Y Person"? Why are the graphics so cutesy with poor textures?

    I'm so disappointed!

    I too am a big fan of Ragnarok! Spreading the game to all my classmates back in the day and still continue on till this day. I've watched how the game progressed. When I heard ro2, I was really excited. To be honest, the graphics weren't that bad the game was more quest based. With that said, I was really dissapoint due to the fact that the classes and jobs lost its charm. Example, atk speed doesn't play a part now and many other stuff.
