Positives: best game ever, nothing else like it out there at all. Negatives: PAY TO WIN, 10000% inexcusable predatory model EA wishes it could get away with. you hit the nail on the head with abysmal drop rates. the game does not respect your time.
@@thecasuallongsword Correct, this game is still fantastic and they still release awesome content regularly. Hell they just released a new set of skills related to combat and gave everyone a free "200m" item :o Really the problem with Mabi is just that once you hit midgame and are transitioning to end game, everything turns into a gambling process.
The gambling obsession all anime themed online games have make it so painful to risk me liking it and wanting to invest time into it. I would try things like Mabi in a heartbeat if that was different but no anime mmo exists thats both good and not irl cash gamba.
I think Mabi has become more of a chill game and a slower paced one; Of-cause if you have lots of spare money and an ungodly amount of free time who likes to grind in games. One of the nicer lot of people i met in games some years ago however, which is a plus.
Astrology addition has been a double edge sword. Find it really powerful and fun but it killed any desire in me to work on my original goal of building/playing puppeteer. Waiting game to see when/if/how they improve the older skills. There is also a bug right now that had stopped me being able to progress in the story. When a cutscene is suppose to play everything turns black and nothing happens. For awhile switching back-and-forth from Steam and Nexon's clients would get me past it. Mid point at G25 that method has stopped working. It has been assumed to be a windows 11 update causing trouble.
@@thecasuallongsword Been dungeon gold grinding to satiate my pet collecting/hoarding urge while not tossing any money at the screen/avoiding gacha gambling. Recently got my hands on an ancient support puppet to make life easier. In between that I PTJ/Commerce while side eyeing the ever looming notion of dipping my toes into raiding/party content. There is another game due out end of next month, that'll for sure consume me whole, so I'm keeping my Mabinogi goals short term focused. One of those games you go at for a few months then take a break. Pop in a couple months later to see what is new or if an event catches your eye.
Cool game, unfortunately needs a revamp of the combat. Feels like blocks awkwardly trying to slide in place. And Nexon's shitty cutthroat pay-to-win is at an all time high and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Oh and new time players don't worry there's only about 20 years of content to enjoy so make sure to take your time and take it all in! Also the attendance event is about to end this month! Better fork over your cash, this stuff is never coming back! What a joke.
I get where you’re coming from-frustrations with a game you enjoy can really sting. But I think there’s another way to look at this. The combat might feel clunky at first, but sometimes that’s part of the charm or learning curve. Games like this often have their own rhythm, and once you get the hang of it, it can feel really satisfying. Plus, developers often tweak things based on feedback, so there’s always a chance it could improve down the line. Yeah, Nexon’s monetization model can feel aggressive, but a lot of players still manage to enjoy the game without spending much-or anything at all. With enough patience and strategy, you can often grind out what you need. It’s not perfect, but it doesn’t have to ruin the experience either. “20 years of content” might sound overwhelming, but isn’t it kind of amazing that there’s so much to explore? New players have a treasure trove of adventures waiting for them. It’s not a race-take your time, soak it all in, and enjoy it at your own pace. Missing out on event items can feel rough, but they’re often about creating excitement and rewarding active players. Who knows? A lot of these things make a comeback eventually, or there’s always something new on the horizon to look forward to. At the end of the day, no game is perfect, but there’s clearly something special here if it’s stuck around for so long. Instead of focusing on the annoyances, it can be more fun to dive into what makes it unique-and who knows? The devs might surprise us with improvements if the community stays constructive.

Most underrated MMO of all time
Positives: best game ever, nothing else like it out there at all.
Negatives: PAY TO WIN, 10000% inexcusable predatory model EA wishes it could get away with. you hit the nail on the head with abysmal drop rates. the game does not respect your time.
So according to this comment, this negative doesn't impact it being the best game ever.

I love Mabi, and currently are trying to get my second character to lvl 200
Me too

Mabinogi is never beating these allegations 😭
r u using mods i like cant target doors or orbs like u do lol can u send me a link to the new tiara moonshine?
😂😂 hit me with the timestamp
But no mods - I just press ALT a lot
Its a separate hotkey called "Object targeting" It'll be in your hotkey settings right under your movement keys
Tried Mabinogi this week... wish the combat felt better
The combat at first can be slow and kind of odd, when you unlock more skills + Arcana's it really changes the pacing!
