Yet another way to waste time at work

[Chronoshock]

You guys might have seen it mentioned on digg a few weeks ago. When the game servers first came up, they were overwhelmed and the game was incredibly slow. Since then, a lot of new servers were purchased so the whole thing is pretty smooth now. I've been playing it the whole time, and I find it pretty fun.

The way the game works is you fight other players to win money, experience, and tokens. You build up skills, stats, and items to make your character better. The developers put a lot of time into the artwork and flavor text for each item.

The game is at www.duels.com and if you feel like it, you can put "Shock" in the referral field. It just gives me some xp, but I'm almost max level so it doesn't matter too much.

It would probably get blocked within the hour. Maybe I'll check it out at home.

Sounds like another browser rpg I used to play.

It's got a a diablo-like feel to it. Just keep killing, level, buy more stuff, repeat. The only thing I didn't like was there was a fixed amount of pts that you can use in a day. Once you're used it up, you have to wait. Hated that... If this game doesn't have it, might give it a try.

the items are all wow-type...epics(purple), rares (green)...whats with that? copy right infringement anyone ?!

You can fight as many people as you want, but you can only challenge the same person 3 times, and skirmish 3 times (to avoid just setting up two accounts and repeatedly attacking them). There are like 20000 players though, so there's no way you'll run out of people.

Lots of games have coloring systems I'll admit that this game does draw some inspiration from WoW, but so do a whole lot of other games. It just makes it easier to understand for new players.

Bump for the night crew

lol, nice way to get xp, tokens, and gold...

what lvl are you? Im currently at lvl 36 with one of my avatars (v914). I'm taking a break from that one though as the game is getting boring (not too many people to challenge at that high of a lvl, and blastwave is unbalanced).

I have two 39's (Shock, Tach) and a couple of skirmish alts.

Glad they'll be doing some rebalancing in the coming weeks. The active developers are a real plus for the game, you certainly don't see that in most games.

 

[Verse914]

yeah, the rebalance should be nice. The devs have done a great job fixing and enhancing the game.
