CyberASSAULT is my guilty pleasure mud. It's where I go when I need a little mindless hack and slash, shoot -em up style. It doesn't have to be mindless though. It's as mindless or as complex as I want to make it. I can login for a few minutes and kill some badass mobs, or I can login for a few hours and do some events, or run some quests and gain questpoints for special equipment.
The best items come when you gain shards from rift mobs. These are events that happen globally and aliens step through rifts and invade. When the players defeat them, the mud rejoices and we get 2x exp for an hour. It's great fun. The game does away with all the hassle and character maintenance of other muds. Who wants to sleep all the time? Who wants to eat and drink all the time? When I login, I want to just jump into carnage, and Cyberassault lets me do that because you don't need to sleep or eat. If you do decide to sleep and eat, you get massive bonuses though, but you certainly don't need to.
The quests here are very engaging. They run from easy to very difficult! There's a little bit of everything.
The immortals are great and very helpful. New areas and quests are always created. Holidays are insane with the amount of muds that can populate the mud.
The world is detailed and complex. Taxis are fun, but you shouldn't really need them. There are portals all over. Money used to be unimportant, but now it's very important and you need a LOT of money to buy some items. It makes collecting money much more interesting than before. They have fixed a lot of problems mentioned in previous reviews, some come try it out.
Combat is a real treat. It can be very complex, or very simple, the choice is yours! My favorite strategy is to find a mob 2 rooms away. I then move one room closer to it and lay a lot of proximity mines down. I then move back to the original room which is 2 rooms away from the mob and snipe it from 2 rooms away! The mobs goes, 'whaaa?' and try to chase me down, but it runs into my proximity mines and SPLAAAT, there goes the mob. It's a real treat. Of course it's always funny when the mob wanders into the room while I'm laying down the mines, then they trigger the mines when I'm in the room and everyone gets blown up!! So you gotta be fast sometimes.
If you're looking for a fun mud that has plenty of death and carnage and quests, along with world events and tons of different equipment combinations, come try Cyberassault.
