Devilian

Devilian is currently live, so I'm moving this out of the beta forum. Also, this is not a thread for software support for Devilian. Theorycrafting? Sharing ideas/images/video? Sure. Looking for assistance because you're having issues launching the game with whatever software you're trying to play it with? Then please open a new thread in either this sub-forum, or the software sub-forum.

Note: The majority of the first two pages is from beta discussion.

-----------------------------------------

Devilian is currently in open beta until 10PM PST on the 6th of December. Early access head start begins on 12/8, and the game goes live on 12/10.

-----------------------------------------

Trion just announced (I guess at PAX) that they're bringing Devilian to North America. It's a Korean dungeon crawler similar to D3 and it looks kinda cool. I haven't gotten a chance to watch a lot of YouTube footage of the Korean version, but here's some party play from Steparu (a more intense fight starts at ~4:00):

It apparently also offers PvP, so I'm wondering if they'll allow us to multibox it, even with some minor restrictions (like no PvP or something). Also, no character collision which is nice. :)

Trion's announcement page.

Just to bump this...

Trion has been sending out CBT invites, and I got one of my accounts in. I toyed around with the Korean version for a bit before they, I guess, either shut it down or no longer made it F2P, so I'm familiar with some of the game, and its mechanics, in the beginning. I'm hoping that I'll get another account in sooner than later, and then I can test out the ability to multibox this game.

Has anyone else signed up for beta?

Just signed for the beta myself , game looks very good but being a Trion/new game they more then likely won't allow multiboxing sadly (my opinion anyways).But who knows , was watching some vids on it and I seen where they have a 10 man raid.

So this is Diablo game play style MMO? I signed up..looks intersting!

Devilian is currently in open beta until 10PM PST on the 6th of December. I fired up some accounts and played around a bit, and it's do-able for now, but we'll have to see how difficult the dungeons can be and what not. For anyone interested, the party size is 3.

There should be a video tomorrow.

More Devilian excitement -- Dungeons.

I will also say that the game has slightly slowed down now that I've reached level 20, but hopefully I can hit 30 tomorrow (cap is 52 in open beta). Still no word from Trion if we're actually allowed to multibox the game, so... /shrug. I'll post something on their forum tomorrow to see what they say.

Video was delayed because it's huge and was going to take the majority of the day to upload, so it will upload while I sleep, and be available sometime tomorrow after YouTube processes it.

After 13 hours of uploading, and 12 hours of processing, the video was ready last night. I posted it in Movies sub-forum.

Looks like the EA starts Tuesday? this might be a nice way to pass time while we wait for Legion!

Looks quite interesting! Thanks for doing the leg work to show proof of concept.

Would like to hear anyone else dabbling in it? Might give it a test run.

I'm playing one account, at 31 atm after 2 days - enjoying it - anyone tried boxing it? is it allowed? hard?

Posted earlier in the thread:

Also, several others on the ISBoxer forum have mentioned multiboxing it.

I enjoyed it, but I just don't have the time for another game right now.

Im currently running a 3 Evoker team on Asperon, currently level 49, its fun and stuff dies quickly :)

Think the 52 dungeons can be boxed?

Been looking at some streams and the positioning looks mean...

Is there anything specific to do to get isboxer to run it?

Just got setup in Devilian today. Running 3 Berserkers. Considered Cannoneers, but something about semi-naked 10-year-olds as my characters just does not work. We'll see if the choise of melee will be the ruin of me.

No previous experience boxing action RPGs and limited experience with them in general, so this is fairly interesting. :P

You said you haven't multiboxed any other action RPG, so you can't compare, but I would assume that you picked the most difficult class out of them all to start off with. :) I imagine that non-ranged classes are either going to take additional damage because you always need to be right up front, or more difficult creatures are going to take longer to kill because you're going to be trying to dodge everything, rather than sitting back with ranged and nuking from a distance.

To be fair, I don't know how "direct" the Berserker abilities are, and they could all just be AoE abilities with no requirement to be facing the right direction. The only reason I was really able to tank anything with my Evokers is because I eventually got that heal (although I have no idea if it actually stacked or not--never tested it).

Spent some time this weekend, really loving the game and got to lvl 30 with ease, lvling in Devilian is SUPER easy, as you basically click "move to spot" and you are automatically moved, then you just kill everything and move again.. rinse repeat.

Dungeons so far have been a cakewalk, and the only real issue I have is with rifts at lvl 27 that kicked me butt hard! lol... After a few wipes I ended up clearing it, but it wasn't quick lol

I'm interested to see how the berserkers are going, i feel like they could be powerful, but the melee range thing kind of sucks in this game.. as you need to run a lot.. and synching with characters seems harder in Devilian than it was in D3.

yes.

edit: on my first adventure into PvP.. it appears you can not queue for "arenas" as a party or raid? is all instanced pvp random groups? that sucks.. There is outdoor pvp to some extent, confirmed?

Err... Did they just change their stand on multiboxing? Stumbled upon this post on their forums, and it would appear clicks/commands being sent to multiple windows simultaneously is infact an issue.

For those lazy to click:

Hello everyone. This is a topic that we've discussed on livestream, and while multiboxing is allowed, it's important to define what is and is not acceptable through our terms of use. Here's a link to our terms of use for reference.

Having multiple accounts logged in from a single IP address or registered user is allowed, but each account must be able to act independently of one another and must be controlled without the use of any third party software. In our terms of use, automation software and unauthorized third party software use is prohibited. Using a program or setup to allow yourself to manipulate multiple characters with a single click or press of the button is prohibited.

If you need to report automated gameplay or botting, please send a detailed report (character names, server, location, activity) to support.trionworlds.com or support@trionworlds.com.

I don't know, but it doesn't sound good. It's always confusing when they first say things such as, "just like in our other games," because multiboxing in RIFT with third-party software is allowed, but in a game like ArcheAge, it is not (for probably a good reason). She said that they discussed it on their livestream, but does anyone have that link?

It's always frustrating when I read, "must be controlled without the use of any third party software," but then in the next line define it as, "automation software and unauthorized third party software." Like... is there a list of authorized third-party software? :confused: Unfortunately, the line after that about "manipulating multiple characters," while still open to interpretation, probably seals the deal.

sound clear to me.. but I still think its stupid that they allow multiboxing BUT not an effective means to do it. A game like that is not going to be boxed effectively "independently"

You think they can detect IS Boxer?
You just multibox Dungeons so nobody will see you doing it, there is only a problem when people see you moving around in public and report you.
I feel very stupid spending money to get the Husky on my 3 Chars...

i cant imagine play devilian with only 1 account since this would simplify the game its just plain booring...

GW2 did this also.. they really are only allowing you to have multiple accounts for things like trading - not playing them all at once.

I didn't think they would allow boxing unless they found a way to stop it in pvp like Rift.

@Flexiflo they are very good & if you email them and explain the situation I'm sure they would give you a refund on the Husky's you got.

Might be a problem cause i bought everything with my main and gifted it to the alts... cause steam wallet on mainaccount...
I explained it to GM and asked if i get banned for multiboxing before the clear statement this morning.

I spent like 600$ all in all for all 3 chars - and now its all gone if i cant play them 2gether... i might ask if they could merge them

The Terms of Use says ...
2.a.

Quote:

---

use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, modifications (mods) or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the Game experience;

---

The question is whether the third-party software is both unauthorized and "designed to modify the Game experience".

2.f.

Quote:

---

use any unauthorized third-party software that intercepts, “mines,” or otherwise collects information from or through the Site, Account(s), Game(s) (including Game-related Virtual Items, if any), Game Client(s) and/or the Service, including without limitation any software that reads areas of RAM used by the Game(s) or the Service to store information about a character or the game environment; provided, however, that Trion may, in its sole and absolute discretion, allow the use of certain third party user interfaces;

---

In this section they specifically carve out unauthorized software that "reads areas of RAM used by the Game(s) or the Service to store information about a character or the game environment". (Not really related to multiboxing.)


But here's the real problem. The Devilian team is referring to the same Terms of Use that applies to RIFT. The RIFT team specifically reiterated last year, after Archeage came out with its no broadcasting stance, that multiboxing with broadcasting is allowed in RIFT. The Devilian team should be clear that this is a game policy and not a blanket Terms of Use issue, because if we agree that it is allowed in RIFT, and the Terms of Use applies to RIFT, then we must assume that the software is not "unauthorized" for the purpose of the ToU.

Hmmmmmmmm.

so ok i asked if they could refund my stuff to my main account, then a new GM contacted me and asked what accounts and what items need to be refunded.
I explained it to him and now i guess its in process :)

lets see what response i get
