That's the strongest, I'm going with that one!) so defeating Baal on Normal was a real challenge for me. I couldn't make it past A1NM on my first char, rofl. No damage and no survivability, can't beat Andariel even with portals. kek git gud	Posted by tarreao on Mar 23, 2017, 11:32:59 PM Quote this Post

It ought to be expected that some players will rush to map as usual and get more out of the Pantheon system, if it does actually extend to maps too.

" Anyway, secret of Mana isn't an isometric online multiplayer arpg so that comparison by Cao Cao was blatantly stupid, yet again proving not everyone deserves the screen name they choose. Kudos for even engaging with it, JN. Secret of Mana is ARPG genre before diablo, its more an ARPG than diablo or PoE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_role-playing_game ... i didnt call PoE an ARPG (and i wouldnt exactly), Chris Wilson and this thread did.... PoE is a grindfest game, faaaaaarrr inferior to Secret of Mana, by faaaarr, miles and miles inferior Last edited by CaoMengde on Mar 24, 2017, 4:19:35 AM	Posted by CaoMengde on Mar 24, 2017, 4:15:00 AM Quote this Post
