Ok cool . Aesir is my recommendation , as well . Dave consistently delivers a good product , communicates well , and meets deadlines . <| sep |> Not saying they don ' t . I ' m confused as to what you thought that would bring to the table , as that is clearly pay 2 win . I am simply trying to say this is pay to advance or pay to progress , not pay to win . Your still having to pay , so I ' m not too happy about it , but I still would like to differentiate p 2 w vs p 2 a because p 2 w is unforgivable in a sub based game but p 2 a is tolerable . <| sep |> It took me two years of playing off and on , trying to figure out what makes this game good . then one day it clicked for me . I hit them without them hitting me , and then I got to another part where it seemed impossible , and then I got through that . In the beginning , get a good shield block a hit and swing back . Rinse and repeat . There is a decent shield behind a locked door under the archer in undead burg , wooden shield or something like that . If you have the master key you can pick it up . If you don ' t have the master key , start over and get it .
