FOnline travellog

Brother None

This ghoul has seen it all
Orderite
The FOnline open test was a success, with quite a few English-speaking Fallout fans participating in this primarily Russian prioject. They're currently looking for translators, too.

Meanwhile, Grayswandir penned a travellog with screenshots, so we can all get an impression of FOnline gameplay.<blockquote>Yesterday was a day of relative success and of great misery for the Unity.
It began in the Den. The Den appeared to be under attack from 3 raiders, maybe more, one of them was equipped with power armor. I saw them slaughtering the whole population of the Den, killing guard, trader, bluesuits indiscriminately…
I don’t mind the thief who has to kill to escape, but this was too much of a butchery for me. Without any others of the Unity around me, I had to let them be. It seems the Brotherhood have some problem to take care of their outpost… It is really high time the Enclave or the Unity take over.
In the first part of our Journey, We won 4 recruits, Fresh, Shadow, Slaughter, Mr.TD. Praise the holy FLAME.
We went to Unity Village and made a ceremony to welcome them.</blockquote><center>

haha nice review, master morpheus!

was a good week then, i loved it. but i do hope they change a couple of things about the game lateron.
 
Wahoo, Go get 'em, Morpheus!

Heck, even I am featured in the history! How awesome is that, my name in the lights! Freshh gradiation includes me, too. I'm the leather armor guy to the west. That travel log is pretty well writen, and shows how this game has a great potential.
 
Yeh, me is there too. Nikopol, big weapons guy from the Untiy. :)
 
YAAAAAAAAARR !

Gee, I visit this website for ages, never thought I would ever be in the news...
Well I kinda failed critically when I wasn't even able to compete to the brotherhood Contest (too lazy to write it in time). So now i am gonna buy myself a Defonten poster.

Oh and I have to say that most of the screenshots were made by Scypior, Lasher of the Unity, and I think some of Lexx (niko) are there too. Oh and the first one was made by Tomdude.

Hope to see you all in the next beta guys !
 
This test was a lot of fun, even though I mostly got killed by people ganging up on me for no good reason :D
 
Some people got killed only because they have had no russian name. Strange volks.

Well, I butchered some people for the straight opposite reason: They had russian names. Most russians were crazy PKers, so it was a matter of "me vs them." :twisted: Guess who I chose? :twisted:
 
English vs Russian, strange seems like i recognize that somewhere.

but ye, thouse pk'ers where anoyin, allthou u get esitmated 2,500 exp for killin another guy. so i guess they just figured out the fasted way to lvl up.

Dumb fucks. The game got overrun by 14-year olds amazingly fast. Fonline team has some serious community management to do.

But this is pretty much the single bad thing about the tech demo.

I loved the way they redid Den, loved the zoom feature and radio implementation.

Did some screenshots.

Um, are you kidding me? The incredibly slow map speed, server issues, the time-outs, the glitches, translation, and the character creation process all seemed pretty flawed to me. I like the effort, but saying the community was the only thing wrong with the demo is ludicrous.

I initially perceived it as a tech demo, so expectations were low. Despite that, I never lagged, experienced glitches or any server or client-side problems, everything was smooth for me. And the translation is basically a quick run through Google or Babelfish or whatever. It was never intended to be permanent. Google translation is better then no translation, I guess.

But who cares about technical crap anyway, the developer team will obviously put a lot of effort into fixing that, but their stance on everything concerning the community is unclear. I can live with a few bugs, lag or balance problems, but being put in the world full of retarded teenagers who can't spell their own name is a fucking nightmare.

What's wrong with the map speed or character creation process? (Except the latter could be easily exploited. Something, that I did a lot.:oops:)

the time-outs,

The time-outs are normal. If you leave the map, you have to wait approx 10 seconds because it could be possible, that someone followed you. You also can not leave the map, if you are in combat mode. Then you also get the "time-out" warning.
