Early impressions of Tabula Rasa
For me this game has come as a little revelation. 4 levels in & sure I haven’t seen much of the overall game but the early indications are good.
What impressed first was the adult Sci-fi look, the speed of movement & the FPS like combat. Yes just standing around hitting a number of keys in a repetitive combination are over. What I did like is the default for fire is the right mouse button akin to all FPS games, I will be keeping that as my default. The impression I get from early combat is that this FPS style suits a Sci-fi MMORPG & maybe more so than a fantasy setting.
I wont comment too much more until I have played a few more hours, I only managed an 1 hour last night after work, safe to say though all my gaming time will be well spent in Tabula Rasa.
In the grand tradition of Sweet Flag gaming I have a new hero named Liber. Liber Turzanski is ready & armed against the war on the Bane. It feels good!
¡EDIT!
I found a players view of Tabula Rasa filmed & placed on Google Video, here’s the link: Brakish Waters Blog

I like single player FPSes, I love mouse look controls, I like MMOs, I like SciFi games. I have to admit I am tempted DM.
But…my kinship is just on the verge of getting into raiding in Lotro and things could get interesting if I stick around.
There is no way I can keep two MMOs on the go at the same time.
Hmmm….

I’d have to agree mbp…I just can’t play 2 MMORPGs without favouring one of them. I’ll keep playing Gorze in WoW but it will be a shadow of time against Liber in TR.
Now raiding in TR is something I haven’t looked into…

Good to see you are enjoying your time there, I might have to check it out myself sometime.
As far as my absence from the blog(s) I guess I have been pretty busy with school, work, etc…no worries though I have some ideas for some posts coming up.

Sean good to hear from you again…just reached lvl 5 last night & had to make my ‘career’ path choice.
I want to try out the Spy class so have gone ’soldier’…one nice piece of gameplay is the Thrax mobs spawn via teleportation from ships rather than being static.
Look forward to our ‘ideas’!

Yes I recommend you get yourself in…there’s only 1 EU server so we can’t miss each other.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the game. I’m having a bit of a blast too.
It looks like NC Soft ramped the difficulty up a little on some of the mobs though. In beta the bane cannons only tickled. Now they do a lot more damage. And the instances are somewhat harder too. Might need a group.
