SUN online anyone?

[chickenfeather]

The website for ijji's version is http://sun.ijji.com
Code: Select all

The game by ijji is only available to UK, US, Canadia, and Mexico.
The rest of the world has the webzen version http://sunonline.webzen.net/ .

Looks good. Any features?

[chickenfeather]

Here are some of my subjective comments on the "features" :

- I think there might be an endgame castle siege but I have no clue since I'm a lowbie.

- There are lots of dungeons and the party play is pretty intense as you can see in the vid. Almost as intense as a sro euro grind party except with a goal in mind and a very nice exp bonus/items at the end.

- There are areas where you can openly pk anyone without penalty(red zones). An example of this would be the cave for the ice dragon quest is located in a red zone and my guild decided to camp the area and kill everyone that tried to go through for a while today. Yes it's assholish but very fun

- It looks like the game is almost entirely quest based because I haven't really grinded at all(although you can grind).

- There are quite a few glitches in the game though, so I hope they fix them before open beta. I don't like how the genders are fixed on the characters. Only female elementalists and valks; only male dragon knights and berserkers.

I remember waiting for this to come like a few years ago. o_O Surprised it's still only in CB.

[chickenfeather]

It has been out for years already, but it hasn't been translated to english until recently i think.

[nitrofreez]

Looks pretty neat. I think I'll give it a shot.

[piootr]

The screenshots looked pretty awesome. I got in game and it looked HORRIBLE! Seriously, I don't know how the screenshots make it look so good.

[tuinman159]

the gameplay movies looked quiet good to me, but if ig s*cks, i might pass on it, some graphics gimme headaches xD

I know what you mean. It doesn't look like the game I played in the videos. It's just something you need to get in game to see.

[chickenfeather]

@ piootr : For someone that plays WoW, I would question your judgement about HORRIBLE game graphics =)

@tuinman159 : I would suggest you try it yourself and see what you think of it.

[chickenfeather]

Mmm that might explain why everyone I talk to in the game understands english.

[piootr]

I'm not here to debate wow's graphics. I've played WoW, Aion, Lineage 2, etc. I know good graphics when I see them and WoW's aren't as bad as you seem to think.

However this game's graphics are shit, bar none.

[chickenfeather]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Enjoy your polygonal graphics.

Spoiler!

*edit*


Can't really compare the two. It's apples and oranges since they were released different time periods.
*end edit*

[chickenfeather]

Whee open beta starts today at 2pm pacific time >_<

[Rival]

Game looks nice.

Ijji is one of the best companys.

[chickenfeather]

Dammit. Well, webzen is planning to release it for other regions soon(like... in October) so eventually everyone will be able to play.

[Thomas42]

^And the wait begins.

[Rival]

Yea players from UK can play that game

[IceCrash]

Dunno why people claim WoW has horrible graphics when it actually has some stunning views and nice spell animations.

I agree that it does have stunning views, but I just can't get over the the blockiness of everything(reminds me of picasso). They could have smoothed things over a little more.

OMGz they postponed the opening until next week =( fail.

There are areas where you can openly pk anyone without penalty(red zones). An example of this would be the cave for the ice dragon quest is located in a red zone and my guild decided to camp the area and kill everyone that tried to go through for a while today. Yes it's assholish but very fun

Nothing can be worse/better than Cabal's PK system. Kill anywhere (almost) and you get little to no penalty for it. You can even get rewards in some cases =p

On SUN: (to anyone)

Does the game have any element of physics? I mean, like jumping on top of moving blocks, dodging traps, and other stuff like that?

How fast is the PVP system? I mean, is it like a fast and fun match where you basically dash and teleport all over the place or is it one of those boring PVPs where you look like clay figures smashing each other head on?

Leveling compared to SRO? Rate it on a scale of 1-10.

======
A game's main attraction for me, aside from actual style of course, is the PK system.
This is what I do in Cabal when I get bored..PK a 170 (max) character and their friends then enjoy the results. I'm looking for another game since I'm bored of Cabal...

[Sacchin]

Was waiting to try this, but the official site has no download links or anything.

[chickenfeather]

Yay they say it is coming on at 8pm pacific today (in 10 min !!) The download link is next to the large orange start button at the top right of the sun.ijji.com website. The physics is ok, a lot of invisible walls tho, so they make it hard to kill yourself from jumping from high places, but it's not entirely impossible.
