Yet another new MMo being converted to the West !! it's a mix of every other MMo ever released, it does nothing amazing but it's actually quite decent. I played the Korean version for a while but struggled due to the dodgy English translation patch.


The game has the holy trinity, Ariel combat ala Aion (nice), tab targeting - Click to move or free aim - PvP PK Arena Sieges - Dungeons, Raids, Bosses etc etc etc


The combat is good with fast fluid movement and action. Graphically it looks great and runs maxed out on my 4yr old machine.

Some class Trailers ;-


The Closed Beta starts very soon, you can buy one of three founders packs starting from £12 which gives you full CBT access and a months Premium.

A Chinese MMO isn't it?

Not sure I can be bothered with another grindfest that will ultimately turn out to be p2w.

I may give it a shot but I'm starting to think I'm done with MMO's these days. Oh plus it's published by My.com who are awful.
 
Great video explaining the level mechanics and the wealth of gameplay, defo think this is going to be a good old school MMo.


Close beta is just around the corner, with many MMo sites doing CB giveaways.. failing that the basic founder pack approx £12 gets you access.
 
Servers for CBT1 are going live approx 14:00 tomorrow. It's made and released by NetEase who operate Blizzards games (WoW) in China.

The game has tons of content, PvE or PvP, solo to raid dungeons, Arena's to battlegrounds, open world PvP , massive map/territory battles (1000's of players). It harks back to the old holy trinity of MMo classes with specific healing and tank roles, which can be customised with a lot of depth. Combat can be classic tab targeting or action based ala Tera or a combination of them (skill based). It also feels like a newer Aion ;)

Cryy has a first impressions/review video which is worth a view.

 
Isn't it launched my My.com over here?

Tempted with a cheap founders pack, even if get a couple of months out of it on release that will do.

I really hope the cash shop isn't hugely p2w.
 
Yes, my.com are the distributor over here. The basic founders pack is approx £12 which gives you access and 30 days premium and head start.

I never got round to PvP when I played it but the battlegrounds(like Rift) look like good fun and the classes are all viable from what I'm told.

I'll be happy to spend a month or two trying it properly and it does have tons of content on release. It did feel quite generic through the early levels but it also had that 'I'll just play it a bit more - oh two hours have passed' feel :)

Check the usual MMo sites for free beta keys, if I get anymore I'll distribute on here.

After black desert (which I loved the world and aesthetic of the game).

I'm staying far away from asian mmos.

It's certainly a game you go into with the attitude of play it for a few months.

Even if it's not P2W at the beginning it will be within a couple of months. Asian MMOs are nortoriously P2W and heavily RNG. Add in the Russian My.com who are equally awful at P2W and long term I can't see it being promising.

Shame really as it's meant to be a cracking MMO. I'll get the basic starter pack as it's about 14 quid.

Will try occultist later as looks kinda fun, I always play sword or sword and board type characters so fancy a change.

All of the classes have two sets of weaponry and can be built in to suit your style, bit like Lotro introduced.

I get the disdain people have of Asian MMo's but I've always prefered them. Lineage and Aion were superb games with some of the best PvP and if this carries on that tradition I'll happily stick with it. We'll just have to see if they try and introduce a P2W mechanic.

300+ in the queue :p
 
I queued from 1100, got to character creation and server crashed.

Queueing again now, I know its beta but 1 server is a bit silly especially with all the hype the game has received.

Tbh the disdain comes from the fact that nearly every Asian MMO over the last few years have been heavily p2w and then add in a distributer who is heavily p2w and it doesn't leave much hope.

Like I said if I get a couple of months out of it before its ruined then I'm not bothered. If I don't like it after beta then its only £14 and not the end of the world.
