How Rogue Lineage Hooked Me. Ft. Arch_Mage

No game will ever be like Rogue Lineage was. It feels more like a social experiment than an actual video game, and despite being deeply flawed, it gave me some of the most fun and memorable experiences in my entire life, and, ironically, lead me to meeting chill, awesome people who I still hang out with to this day.

rogue gave me trust issues

[@naruto9928]

Deepwoken is rogue but easier

[@sagehanson190]

@@naruto9928 I mean sure but you could say that about most permadeath RPGs. Deepwoken and Rogue are both permadeath games where you get stronger as you progress, but both take that idea in completely opposite directions. I wouldn't call Deepwoken "Rogue but easier" because the game has so many different core mechanics, and at no point in the game are you forced to do PvP, which is the entirety of what made Rogue what it is. Sure, I'd say getting power 20 in Deepwoken is way, way easier than getting most Ultras in Rogue, but the two are so starkly different that it's hard to compare them.

[@valentines4all]

This game genuinely gave me trust issues and PTSD even long after I quit, but man the random experiences and interactions that can be made in Rogue are some of the most unique and timeless things I've ever went through playing a game, and I'm thankful for it. This game introduced me to a huge friend group now that we still talk and hang out with YEARS later, and it's weird to think about how all of that came from him saying "Hey, what if I didn't grip this idiot in this maze... Hey buddy, wanna join our vc?" Unironically an incredibly flawed gem of a game, thanks Monad.

NO FR, I met my current friend group of rogue, literally they ganked me and I was a noob freshie, and on a whim they were like "Wanna join our house?"

[@ttarproject]

Rogue Lineage is still my favorite game in all of Roblox because it is such a spit in the face on conventional game design. Nothing is explained, new players suffer terribly, the game does not respect your time at all, etc. Yet I honestly believe those design choices honestly bolstered the terrifying, mysterious, and gratifying nature of the game to a level I have never seen in any game I've ever played. That fact that it was as big of a success as it was one of the biggest inspirations for me as a budding game developer that project made with love and fun can still do well. This video is great, thanks for rekindling my PTSD.

[@JGrey2006]

I've played since first month of release. Literally insane to think that's nearly 5 years ago. I can still remember early rogue so clearly. it actually completely revived my dying love for video games at the time. Wiped my first ever ultra, a Dinikari whisper, to the boats. They should add the boats back.

[@oliaulin6916]

Made some life long friends and bonds back in the peak of rogue in 2020 and all the way up till late 2022. Rogue was a big part of my life for and got me through a lot of Covid despite the games toxic community. I really enjoyed a lot of moments in the game even going through some of the roughest times with friends in the game, trying to find a safe with the whole house on 1-2 lives and the stupid 3am safe server vc sessions where we just talk about life and shit. It’s moments like those I remember the most and not really the pvp. I will cherish the moments I had with my friends in rogue since it was some of the funnest shit ever. Great video man . ❤

Rogue shifted my entire opinion of gaming since playing it making it so a lot of non perma death games don't really give the same kick as it did. I made a lot of good and bad memories and met a lot of interesting people. Overall I can say I enjoyed the game for a good bit of time with how much replayability the game has and how fights never really get boring because of the perma death aspect.

People talking about Rouge Lineage have 2 sides. Either, they recount the most traumatic, ptsd inducing, trust issue giving, god awful experience they've had from other people decimating them, kidnapping them, doing nasty things to them, and being all around a horrible, horrible experience. Or, they recount how this game was such a gem, that they've met friends, reinvigorated their passion for interests and had unforgettable (good) experiences. The first convinced me to not drop 200 robux on this.

I just had a case today. I calmly logged into the server where Arch_mage was located (according to him). I wanted to start messing with the server, as Arch_Mage itself attacked me. He first took all the silver from me, then killed me (it didn't take my life in the beginning). He teleported back to me, but this time with the intention of mocking me. I brought my friends, and one of his friends killed me (lost his life). He used "Mana reduction, Nocere" on me, I waited for 15 minutes, he teleported to me, picked me up and threw me to his friends who killed me again (lost his 2nd life). He got tired of me not logging out of his server, and he decided to finally wipe me. When I already appeared in the purgatory, he decided not only to dance and make fun of me, he also decided to ban me. And this is all due to the fact that I did not log out of the server

Yeah, it's mostly just ultras who run around ganking nowadays. It harder to solo progress now than ever, and most people just farm alts for their classes.

[@lowrhyan567]

It's almost impossible without alts or without joining a house today, 99% of the servers are dominated by a house where a illusionist will dox you and in seconds after joining the server a random ultra will appear to kill you, I usually spent 1 hour to find a server that seems safe and it's common that it's not actually safe, also kinda depends on which hour you're playing, morning(6:00-9:00) and night(00:00-5:00) tends to be the safest times, I'm saying that based in Brasilia timezone, I don't know in the rest of this world.
