I'm just wary of it turning out to be another Lineage II (mindless grindfest).
I think it is supposed to go into closed beta in late 2006/early 2007.
I'm pretty sure it will be. I haven't seen one good korean mmorpg thus far that isn't a grindfest, also they all are pretty much the same (UI, gameplay, art etc.). However, this one could turn out to be something else, only time will tell.
I agree totally with both of you. Most are anime-graphics, clunky UI, poor translations, almost nil on player customization, quests...what are quests?, same screen layouts, click-n-move, auto-attack, almost zero keyboard control options, poor tutorials, having to spend money to store items (not even a bank), mobs placed all over the landscape for no apparent reason other than to provide for the grindfest, etc. (Edit: and yes, quite correct on the damage meter above your head with the "CRITICAL!", "DEADLY!", "KILLING BLOW!" and other nonsense. What is this, a comic book? Next we'll be seeing "BAM!", and "KAPOW!" End of edit). All the Asian games are just cookie-cutter by design without innovation.
It doesn't matter how good you make the graphics, they're just mmo arcade games that may as well be a console port.
Ya i eyed this puppy up a little while ago and liked what i saw.I know gaming in asia is an epidemic ,but the quality of games coming outa there has been brutal.There usually nothing more than MU's but with a notch better graphics.This game looks like it might be a good effort..FINALLY!.I hope that climbing is a fact and not just another scripted movie.
The one pet peeve i see,is what i actually hate alot in games.That one thing is a niche >>>>flying.Just like horizons where 90% of the players want to be dragons,if flying is overdone ,then 90% of the players are going to be classes that can fly.It turns a game into a joke,and might as well have no customizaation whatsoever.Just offer everyone a flyer and a few different colours and won't the gaming world be a total borefest?everyone looks the same blah!.I really hope that one poster is correct when saying it will just be a sorta travel thing with scripted flight patterns.
Other than this one pet peeve ,i plan on giving this game a whirl,it really does look a little inovative and might be the best game to come outa the asian market to date,actually the best game to come out in a year or so.I'm sure there wont be crafting or much in the way of thought out quests,but oh well ,give that market time,there still breaking away from the MU days.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
1 thing to point out MMO's are MMO's all do the same thing no matter what. I have tried alot of MMO's and sofar L2 atm has the best graphics that is playable right now. Aion looks to be an awsome game to play or try out when Closed beta hits. Grinding I really could careless how long the grind but I found it better for longer grind in old MMO's I made top level characters in less then 2 months then I was done yahh now what! I would like to have it to take time at least a little bit so that I can always continue hehe.. from what I see about this game its BOTH Korean and Amarican made team togther making it but NC soft with be the main sponcer. I mean Absolutly gorgous graphics and game Ideas for the Demons Vs. Angles Vs. Dragons. Love the idea that the characters can fly and not rideing something to fly. fixed flight or not still love it. I only will down side a game if its out and have tried it.
