Quick Notes: First Impressions of Last Chaos

I'm trying out Last Chaos by Aeria games today. I'm not sure how far I'll delve into this one. It's already annoying me for various reasons. I'm going to start keeping a running tab of pros and cons and post it up later.

Pros:

  • A chick in a hot cowgirl outfit is standing near me. Gotta love fun outfits. It's probably an item shop thing though and I try my best to avoid spending money on my FREE GAMES. I do, however, get suckered in on occasion when something is just too awesome to resist and I have a little money I don't feel guilty about wasting on a game. Oh and the hot cowgirl is inviting me to her guild. She seems less stalkerish than the guy I ran into on the other server. Yay! (of course, the hot cowgirl is really a male rogue gender-locked as female, but I won't hold that against him.) hehe


Cons:


  • Movement is hindered a lot by the edges of objects that don't look like they should cause a problem. Running near a rock can stop you dead in your tracks, so you have to stop, turn around or back up until you can unhook your toon before moving on. Yucky!
  • As I mentioned in my earlier post, character creation is very limited in customization and gender-locked. Boo!
  • Whispering is weird...well, to me anyway. You do it with "!" I stood around like a darned noob trying to figure out how to reply to someone who spoke to me. I need the big neon flashing NOOB sign  over my head...oh wait, there is one. I'm graced with "LastChaos Newbie" over my head. Nice.
  • Mana goes too fast.
  • First dungeon is L5-20, but not marked as a party quest. I attempted it alone, but got attacked by multiple monsters and had to keep kiting them around the room to kill them. Annoying.
After an hour of play, I'm not finding enough redeeming features of this game to want to continue. I do like the people I've met on the EU server, but they're not enough to make me want to keep playing.

Overall impression: FAIL
I'm sure there are some nice aspects of the game, but if it's not catching my interest after an hour, I move along.
