Droiyan Online

robowns

Very fun 2d/top down mmorpg, the graphics arent very desirable but the game has some great gameplay and a nice community.

It is in phase1 (open beta anyone can join) until this wednesday when they will wipe all the server clean ready for phase 2. Everyone will be starting at the same time, so if you want a chance to be the best in this beta, go to

....In Droiyan ALL classes have only passive skills which are increased by level up and items (although there is a hidden skill at lvl 100), the boost spells available are shared sometimes by several classes (first low lvl spell is unique, rest are shared I think). ("Mage" class gets a magic blast but thats not an active skill, the rifleman gets also ranged attack).

Then you have the "stamina" bar that drains when you are running which is just anoying (think its to refrain people from running in combat since there are no root spells/effects).

So until level 100 you hold down your left mouse button to kill monsters & click on the hp restore item (which isnt timed so pvp is whoever has most hp restore items wins).

Even Ragnarok Online had more advanced gameplay & that was released 2-3(?) years ago. I couldnt find anything good or unique with Droiyan (except boring map & monsters).
Even if all bugs are fixed in beta there is almost no content, some say its the Mir-engine thats still used.

In regards to graphics: several graphical effects are missing (you gotta hear if monster grunts that means a hit, if it doesnt grunt its a miss). There is a high number of "different color = stronger monster".

Also all maps are sequental in regards to level. That means EVERYBODY goes to the same maps at same level, not a problem if there are several maps at different places for same level which it doesnt. Actually the maps are tiny 2d-maps with blocks that mimic "3d-buildings".

....? Each class has 4 passive skills from the beginning, active skills are actions (with a bonus/extra effect) that are made when you press a button. Like an "backstab attack" / "power attack" from other mmorpg:s, some skills can be gotten from monsters but its rare so that doesnt count towards boring combat.

Also feal free post the name & effects of the active skills.

i dont know the names of most of them because i didnt play alot in p1 due to wipe but

vade blaze - fighter skill you zoom at the target causing damage and moves you next to them, lvl50 - easy level and skill to attain

the swordsman gets a similar skill, cant remember the name

fighter also gets a buff skill which allows you to move 20% faster - an active skill

swordsman gets a ranged skill - spikes coming from underground

 

alot of riflemans skills are buffs, eg dexup, hp up, 20% chance of going through armour etc

wiz class gets aload, basic ranged spell, an ice one, a meteor type one, a lightning type one, a shield, warp skill (teleport to anywhere on screen)

all these have been seen within 2 weeks of closed beta, so are not all it has to offer

i agree its monotonus at the beginning but get a team together and the lower levels fly by and you can start to learn skills
