Nightmares and Daydreams. I had high hopes for Syndicate, you know? I was there since the start. But I guess it didn't live up to the hype. I never particularly enjoyed things like farming, instant casting, purify spell, etc. all that much. That's why I never played servers like Epic or Inception, and why the instant gearing and near retail balance of Syndicate appealed to me so much. The first iteration of Syndicate was probably one of my favorite. The use of infinite over purify was a very good compromise in my opinion. Yet, in retrospect, there were a lot of things wrong with it I guess. Still, I wonder... "If you had this time again Would you do it all the same? I wonder, would I? Of the promises we made Is there anything you'd change? In the re-runs of our lives..." - Emma Hewitt Alas, it was only a Daydream. Yet at the end of the day, it is still a memory to be cherished. The server may be gone, but the friends we made will be here to stay. This is my only unreleased video from Syndicate, taken at the Release Candidate stage (right before it opened). It was supposed to go out near release I think, but YouTube was giving me problems, so I just released the video Stresstest instead. For those who haven't played Syndicate, the server is at Sirens of War (Nation Wars) retail gear with r9r3 but no NW rings/tomes, etc. The weapon was also modified to use Infinite as opposed to Purify. I think the attack level was also changed from 65 to 50. This particular video is just me playing Wizard against my friend Tsy/Tsyren (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZXEaJl7dtFzKNLAegmyTQ). Wizard is just an alt though, so I wasn't really that good at it and made a lot of mistakes. Looking back at it, I think the Infinite proc actually make Demon seem way better than it is in retail due to the free chi. Though, have to consider that the damage is also a lot lower. I'm almost out of clips too, so my releases of old videos will be coming to a close very soon. Still, it was fun while it lasted; brought back some good memories. Regardless whether you played Syndicate or not, I hope you enjoy the video! Until next time!
