Tideborn: First Impressions

My first impression was actually pretty positive. While I thought the customization was 'slightly' lacking it was still better than I had expected.
The movement was interesting and at least the first two skills I got, had decent visual effects.
Cities of the TB are a bit to crowded with 'stuff' and while some of the lag I experienced was due to the 500 tb running around, some of it was also caused by the excessive visual candy in the cities.
Graphics overall seem decent.
Swimming rocks, TB can really boogie underwater.
Meditating transformation is pretty sweet, I was impressed with it.
I have yet to try a Psychic as I have decided to let the race cool down some, but my overall impressions so far have been good.
Nice job PWI. Lets hope the further I get with my Assassin Saishoni that I will continue to feel this way.

Except that many mobs are not tameable! I want cutsie little crayfish.
Anyway - I like the fact that there are buildings we can actually go INTO. This is what we need in other areas. People standing outside gets really boring, really fast. I realize this isn't an RP game, but still, it's fun to go IN a building once in a while. I was totally jazzed to see this. (The only major city I have been in so far is Arch so maybe this is different in other cities).
There certainly is a LOT of eye candy.0 -
U should mention that both classes are OP.. I've expected that; i hope they will be nerfed b:victory

Introducing my Psychic.

Unfortunatly it seems my Assassin is still in limbo even though I created her first. But like I said, my first impressions have been positive. It was also nice to note that there was an exceptionally fast re-spawn rate on killed mobs in the new TB area.
Other than Arch, or a wraith attack, I have NEVER seen so many players in one small areas as I did last night.
Good job guys, Good job.

I want to play too! b:cry

poped in as a phychic on the new server
right away there were hundereds of tideborn most of them phychics like my guy
first thing that poped in my head was tideborn remind me of sperm
little did i know that would become even more evident as I swam across the water with 50 other tides heading to the main city or "egg" whats worse is that we all even wiggled when we swam
as I voiced my claim that we all looked like sperm anouther tide behind me told me not to play as one, I replied that like a sperm I'd wait for the others to die off and then make my move, he grew silent and started jumping ahead of us like it was a race "go figure" once he passed us a mob killed him and I took the lead, made it to the city and was "born"
I tried to laugh but couldent, it was too perfect for giggles b:surrender
[shoulda took screenshots]0 -
^ thats the funniest story me read on the forums in quite a long time b:chuckle[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0
-
Ignoring my story
Im actualy a litte dissapointed with the expansion
-I've been sick of my bm and wanted to try a new class, was kinda hoping phychic would make me wanna change but it didnt, the hair looks weird at best, and they move like chip an dale dancers, still need to try sins tho
-the new city was just a pain to look at my eyes actualy hurt from all the purple
-but I did like swimming in in the water around the cities, actualy felt like my guy was underwater
to sum it up, it cant get any worse only better0 -

OMG ME TOOOOOOOOO lol0 -
The intro quest was nice, but due to lag, i dont try tideborns in this month.0

Aloha, I was jazzed to see the new race, and was not disappointed. I created both an Assassin and a Psychic, to try out the new skills and see which I would like to play the best. Haven't decided yet, lol ~
A couple of suggestions (what! only two? lol. yeah, so far) A couple of things really bugged me:
1. the first being the too-small size of the system boxes, like where you look up your character skills, quests, etc. I think that leaving them like the original ones was perfectly fine, as well as using the same icons for them. These are very hard to read. Same with the mob info box, on mobs you're fighting, they are too small and difficult to read. Why make things more difficult? ("If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Lol)
2. the second complaint echos Saitada's post, in there is way too much "eye candy" in the towns. It's very confusing and it makes things more difficult to see and find (plus it gave me a headache after a while).
Other than that ( I'm only lvl 5 so far, as I had to get some sleep), I love the colors and the fact that your character can go into buildings. Oh yeah, *looks up at the comment about the way this race swims; "wiggles"* The guy that made that comment must not be a swimmer, lol; it's called "The Dolphin Kick" and real-life swimmers use it. It's obviously based on watching how dolphins swim, so it's a great choice by PWI for the Tideborn! Way cool! Good job PWI; can't wait to play some more!

We have a fast connection here at our place and it took more than an hour for us. Granted we were patching all three computers at the same time but the patch is pretty sizeable so for slower connections it will take a good while.
I did notice for the first time ever for me in PWI a massive graphics failure. I tabbed out and back and my graphics card told me to bite it and went wonky. lol.

i made a psychic just to toy around with the customizations and well, if i am gonna roll one, im going to wait until we can customize facial features, makeup, eyes, etc.0

I want to play and make my sexy assassiiiiiin. D;
Though o.o at the random addition of a new server. Did we need it at all or were the devs just putting it in to stop the QQ about a new server? b:sweat[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I was a lil disapointed with the customisation part and on a personal note I didnt like most of the cutesy-poo doll looks of the presets (most of them anyway). The thing I liked most about PWI was that the chars didnt look so cartoonie. I feel the tideborn kinda are =/ Meh maybe its stil early days yet.[SIGPIC]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b150/HIM_Wraith/Dray_Sig5_zps515c7918.png[/SIGPIC]

I'm really pleased with the update, all in all.
Anyway, the customization was a bit bland, but I loved the new hair styles they had for them, and I actually really like the appearance of my 'sin, despite a few others looking a bit similar to it.
And tbh, I like the eye candy in all the towns. x) It's interesting to me, or maybe I've just always liked those kinds of schemes. New exploring places and stuff.0 -
I loved everything about it, though their were so many people around I can't acctually play, my computer lags and then freezes for about 5 minutes and then works for 2 secons before freezing on me again. ='_'=0

+Slight new graphic change
+Meditation animation
+Lots of mobs for people to kill
-UI shrink
-HP bar is really small
-Quest List pops up every time you login[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
I'm only half way through the patch. What's worse is that today is my last day to play until around January. I want to see the new classes and cities. b:cry[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Thank you Forsakenx for the picture. b:thanks0 -
So far im not liking my Assassin at level 20...
Daggers = cool
Merman form = cool
but thats about it ive found, The standing stance for male assassins is like a drunk man leaning on a wall while the fighting stance is just like a little emo boy walking through the school halls trying not to be seen, light armour for close range PVE is terrible, fashions look terrible on them.
PW has had an injection of JD which i really dont like, the world is not perfect no more....DrMelvin: Level 90 Cleric > Retired
MrMelvin: Level 8X British Wizard > Active And Owning

Very Nice city for the Tideborns.
The new race looks ok and perhaps, the best thing is the 'coming to age' quests, got 5 levels off yesterday after patch.0 -
Well what sucks for me is I made a character but can't play at all my screen either flashes or I get kicked from pwi so unfortunately I cannot give a rating on the expansion or race b:sad0
