Hi
I think everything to be said about game play has been mentioned in the above posts, so I will post on Down time since there are no Potions in the game. I played a Warrior/Monk/Tank with Sword & Shield 80% of the time, I tried a Elementalist/Monk & a Necromancer/Monk, Magic is not my Thingy...in character creation you choose a primary & secondary skill tree or call it a dual Class character.
Note in the above posts most had a Monk as their second choice mainly because the Monk comes with 3 Healing spells...a Self Heal "BEWARE" it's an AOE spell that also Heals the "Monsters"<... Ouch !!! so you have to wait to use this spell until "After" you Kill the Mob your fighting & use it "Before" starting battle with the Next Mob,...90% of the time you soloed 2-5 Mobs at a time, I could handle 3 & yes I died alot & Ran alot to the guards if they were near by...Mobs were lv 8 - 10 Bosses lv 16...I was lv 15 [your level was locked] however the last day the Devs added the Big Mobs average lv 12 + I had a hard time with only 2 of these :P
There is also a Monk Heal Party spell. Every toon comes with a Heal self spell so there is no "DOWN TIME" :D ...however for a Melee/Tank toon this spell will not go off if you are in battle, If it does you do not get it's Full healing effect of 50 HPs, you need to break off the fight or run IF you can, then Heal your self, Melee fighters have a difficult time healing in battle, so having the Monks Healing Wind or Group heal helps since they do go Off in battle :D :D :D
DEATH: after you die you respawn at a nearby Res Circle & not in a town, your penelty is a 15% across the board reduction in Attributes that is reduced by killing Mobs...or you could Re-enter the area and start a new mission/game...if you choose to restart the Penilty is gone/removed...I sent a bug report/complaint about this...I feel you should ALWAYS keep the penelty till you Work it off even if you Log off for the night, but since it is not really a MMORPG I guess it does not matter :P
The game is Major Fun & taking into consideration that it is in ALFA testing it ran Great with very few bugs to report...in fact my first report was the same as the WoW bug of getting Stuck in the enviroment like a tree ;)
