How Good Is Nostalrius, Really?

[Szabinger]

Personally, i'd prefer working mechanics and high end encounters than working level 20 escort quests with a bunch of class/mechanical bugs. But that's just me...

I lol'd at the "bunch of class/mechanical bugs". Someone's not playing as a rogue and/or warrior here it seems.

Your reading comprehension is horrible.

And in fact, i got my warrior to 28 before i rerolled and made a mage. Warrior is broken as hell and not even worth playing - and these are the mechanical bugs that i'm talking about. ED, 2+ years ago, didn't have these mechanical bugs that Nost does in 2015.

My warrior is lvl28 as well, and the mechanical bugs are really annoying. (charge, battle shout not refreshing, heroic strike canceling auto attack if there is not enough rage). Do you know about any more bugs to look out?

Exactly. French version of Nostalrius had a population of 100 online and usually crashed like once every 2 or 3 weeks. This server has 5000 online and crashes 2 or 3 times a day. Quick calculus shows base stability actually increased since French version.

I don't know on what server you're playing, but here on Earth, on the Nostalrius Begins server, the crashes happen regularly once every two or three hours.

the only downside for me is coming to these forums and seeing the same 10 people bitch and moan about every minor bug they come across

+1

btw i rate server 9.5/10

half of the bugs mentioned here i never encountered

and admins fixing stuff pretty fast, give them some credit maybe?

Wow, that seems a bit over reality

I think it's great. I am having a blast leveling at my own pace and doing what I want. I don't feel too rushed, I haven't ran into too many bugged quests and stuff...which is cool.

Some of my Rogue's abilities are bugged like Stealth but I expect that to be fixed soon. My Troll's regeneration racial isn't working either and I have reported that.

Overall a good experience so far! Can only get better from here right?

I've got a level 18 warrior. So far, its really decent. To those saying Heroic Strike and Charge don't work - my experience is totally different. Charge has never thrown me around into the wrong position, and the fact that I can charge up steep cliffs without falling through the world finally is a great feeling. HS has never bugged my auto attack, so again, idk.

The only bug I've noticed is battleshout causing a high amount of threat (oddly). Otherwise the journey so far has been smooth, mostly lag free. I also don't get the screen freezes in PvP that I used to get all the time on other servers. Mob pathing is also the best I've seen. To those saying group loot doesn't work - again its worked fine for me? I've done plenty of grouping for quests.

So far I am impressed, but I remain open minded, I will see how things are going in a couple of weeks, but I really am having a blast.

So far I am LOVING Nos. This feeling of being part of a massive world has somehow managed to creep back in. There are so many other players around! This can be a hinderance, however, because 1/2 of my time spent in NOS is fighting other ppl/grps for mob tags or skinning. Hopefully this balances out later on. Everything is not perfect with having this many ppl on one server. Needless to say there have been many sudden DCs which need to be remedied. there also is a lot of scummy ppl around that you are bound to run in to. maybe a lot of that has to do with their frustration with blizzlike 1x leveling speeds and some old archaic vanilla design like quests items being FFA while in party or some QOL things that vanilla lacked...who knows. I have turned off all chats except /2 and LFG. As to Bugs... I've not rlly encountered any major bugs, just some item tooltip things. All in all Nos is enjoyable to the right type of person I guess. It is a GRIND, so many of today's instant gratification generation may not enjoy it but to those that are masochists (like me) you are in HEAVEN!

I was watching Spoh's stream last night from about 2Am to 10Am. 3 crashes, 4 actually if you count the fact that the server crashed twice in the span of 2 minutes.

[Tekko]

I can only play for around 2-3 hours at a time, I've never had a session where the server didn't crash at least once.
