Elyon, the MMO formerly known as Ascent: Infinite Realm, has been largely dormant for the past few months. However, today, the MMO dropped a new trailer today on Twitter, showcasing some of the large scale battles you might experience in the upcoming MMO from KRAFTON.

I thought they are still using Unreal Engine 3 which was always unclear why they did not go with 4.
~Greatness~

I wonder about that too, may be they start development using ue3 before ue4 was released.
They are already selling packages.

Seems like they gutted all the airship mechanics and combat which would of at least brought a little bit of innovation to the game and the genre.
This now appears to be another cookie-cutter fantasy mmorpg, which has been done a hundred times already.
Oh well, this might be a hard pass from me. Such a shame.
So it is basically a single player game with mmo/pvp add on to of course incorporate a cash shop.
Instance housing with your own private battles in that instance is dumb considering they are calling it a MMO.
End game is of course the pvp which is a LAZY way to incorporate end game.
gear scores is an absolute huge not a chance on earth would a I play such a game.Gear scores are exactly what made me quit playing mmorpg's.
So now they are revamping this game into a full "action" combat system.Maybe that works for pvp but is not good for pve but this game really doesn't care about pve.My guess is that the pvp will drive the cash shop,likely ways to spend money to upgrade to make you a stronger "NOT better"just a stonger p2w player.I would bet on it especially since they don't seem to want to talk about their cash shop rubys aside from saying you "can" get them for free...lmao .
This reminded me of an AJS interview with a SC rep and he pointed out that trying to get a ship for free would take about 99 years and the guy was like stumped and tried to BS his answer by saying,oh well this is only testing I am sure that won't be the same when goes live and of course that game NEVER goes live lmao.
My recommendation is when you see a cash shop stay very far away from that game.Then I see KaoKao is a publisher of which I dealt with in BDO and have nothing good to say about them and of course the same dev who made TERA a game that if my memory serves me just shut down?
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
This doesn't look boring at all!!! Can't Wait!
World Boss Fight

It looks more like a Tera 2.0
Last I knew it was a UE3 engine build, so there will issues if that is true..
The flying machines and techno side of the game separated from the crowd and made it somewhat interesting. But if that has been neutered to the point of some automated process with no control, then it will be joining a already crowded UE3 MMO market.. Also the trailer does not showcase a large battle.. That was a cinematic.. When there is actual in-game large scale battles then that would show the limitation of the engine.. Bless online part 2..
Those pets from the premium and special package just scream 'immersion'...
/s
ugh thats why i asked what engine UE3 is cool but not for a mmorpg.
btw hope u can lower others effects because the boss battle was seizure inducing
