Dragon Nest

[inky]

I'm sure, somewhere around here lies a DN thread -- most likely buried underneath 6 feet of inactive threads -- that hasn't been seen for a long, long time. So here's a new one.

I've heard about DN a while ago but I haven't had the time to play again until recently. I started about 3 weeks ago (Tinkerer class release) and so far, I find it to be a great game. It's pretty much MMORPG-meets-hack'n'slash console action. PVE is less grind-ier than other MMOs since it's basically a bunch of different dungeons and the PVP system has several modes: FFA, Captain, Capture, Ghoul and all of them can be set as equalized (all players have same stats, regardless of items/bonuses) or not. I currently have a Lv40 Sword Master and an Engineer. So far, the only negative/annoying aspect of the game is the gender-locked classes and, well..Nexon runs it.

Some random pvp video I pulled up.

I know i saw a thread from the Beta of this game, we got a dozen of people playing it from srf but most left for the epicly low cap of the beta (level 24 was the max for a month).

Is it still available to North America only btw?

I use to play a while ago. I have a level 32 Mystic, Sharpshooter, and Acrobat. I didn't like how annoying the enemies were becoming and the terrible voice actors made me regret having ears. I quit to play another action MMO. Great game though. In terms of combat, it's probably the best 3D action MMO out there right now. I know a lot of people like Tera's combat but DN's combat makes Tera's combat feel sluggish in comparison.

I may come back when they finally get the 50 cap.

ignore my previous post... its usa/canada only and im from the uk so i cant play...

thanks dragons nest -.-

Lol I have guildies from the UK and Asia who play on the NA version. Probably uses something to mask their IP before connecting. The 50 cap will probably take a while to get here since they might add the Sea Dragon Nest before that -- unless both updates are implemented at the same time. You need a full party of well geared people to get through Sea Dragon. I have nearly all the equips I want on my Sword Master so the only problem now is getting them to at least +9 per piece (Apocalypse Nest Gear set + 2 epic Varnaks).

If you guys are interested, I'm on Gerrant (East) server and my IGN is "NikoStark" (SM) and "JujikaSteam" (EG).

The skill voice acting in that PVP video, kill me now

[inky]

Lol yep. The English version is a bit more tolerable but I keep mine on minimum. It does help in PVP since it lets me know sometimes which attack is being used.

I hate how it's heavily instanced, but I'm not sure if it still is since the last time I played it was also in the beta. Have to agree with Da_Realest too, the game's combat system is more fluid than TERA's.

There are pros and cons to not having a shared grinding map:

Pros:
No KS (especially from bots), bosses are not monopolized by top guilds, no need for hours of boring grinding on respawning mobs (like in SRO).

Cons:
No option for forced PK (player kill; can be a pro depending on your views of PKing), not much to explore and the game feels less like a virtual world.

I used to play in the 24 cap. I remember it was pretty fun. Might play again if anyone is playing anymore.
