Alganon – Level 12
Well the last few days have been quite crazy, in the middle of being sick / upgrading my graphics card and birthdays I’ve found time to play Alganon.
The new video card has allowed me to crank every graphical setting to maximum and the more I play the more I’m enjoying it. There doesn’t seem to be many people playing at the moment but hopefully more and more people will decide to pick up it up in the future. You can get the game for $19 dollars which is the price of 2 pints of beer here in Perth so it’s not like its gonna break the bank.
There are some bugs and the game is more for the casual kind of game player rather than your hardcore MMO’er, but so far there has been a crazy amount of variation kinds of Quests to complete and Landscapes to explore.
There are a bunch of things they could do to make the game better, and my suggestions are mainly to do with the interface:
- Pad out the chat windows borders
- Show how much XP I require to get to the next level when I mouse over the XP bar
- Show how much Health / Mana / Anger I have when I mouse over my character stats
- Change the very World of Warcraft ‘inspired’ section of the interface, it’s causing shit all over the internet from people who love to bitch and moan.
- When I click my main backpack or press the B button, open ALL of my storage bags at once.
- Fix the map, it is terrible! The world map should be a bigger and better version of the mini map!
Next post will come sometime next week when I’ve a few more hours into the game.
