July 2016

This game is taking alot of heat on here for some issues users are having. Most of those technical issues I have not had so I am reviewing this based on MY experiences so far... -There are some bugs, but again I have not seen nearly as many as others have had. The more serious of these issues is the lag. The lag can at times be terrible if not downright unplayable but its an issue that isnt keeping me from playing as much as I have. -People have compared this to Tera and that is unfortunate because its not Tera, the mini map and full map are in the same style as Tera and thats where the similarities end. -The combat can be a bit boring for the first few levels and after a few skills are added to your tool bar you are pretty good. The combat is one of the weaker aspects of this game but not unbearable. -Graphically the game is pretty solid and with settings turned all the way up it is a fairly good looking game, but nothing to rave about. -the Taming of familiars (animals, creatures, dragons...) is where this game shines. If you are an avid collector of mounts and pets in any other game you will love this part. There is an issue that you will run into after a short while and thats where the available slots are locked out. These slots need to be unlocked with Elune (in game currency). You can most certainly gain Elune while playing the game and without spending a dime to do so. BUT if you really want these slots opened you will need to buy some. They will be adding more ways of gaining Elune in game in the near future. And this is not something that you should consider game breaking as so far I have not spent a single penny. - The in game store is full of cosmetics and small buffs. There is not (to this point) anything P2W in the store. - The dungeons in game are pretty simple, can be done solo or in a group. However there are 3 tiers: Story mode, Elite and Heroic. Elite has 5 tiers of difficulty that you can select before entering and the drop rates reflect that. At current level you will need to be in a group to run Heroic modes. - Plenty of daily quests - Map is large enough for the time being with a new zone (large) that will be open later this month. - Game is almost totally open world with a few intsanced areas here and there. - No gender locked classes Some of the more lacking things about this game: - Level cap is currently level 25, which you will hit fairly quickly. - There is NO archer class. Classes available are: Barbarian (warrior type), Guardian (sword/shield), Wizard (ranged DPS), Assasin (stealth, duh) and Priest (healer). - There is only the human race :( male/female - Character creation is a bit lacking but not terrible (not BDO creation or anything like that) its not all that bad but it isnt exactly great either. All in all this MMO is not bad at all. Can be fun solo or with a group of friends. It doesnt do anything bad and it doesnt really excell at much either. But at the end of the day its a game thats very fun to play and can be addicting. It doesnt exactly hit a home run at the moment but its not a dud either.

Honestly a decent f2p game. I'd like to address a few of the complaints I see: -P2W: This is entirely untrue. This launch addressed many of the p2w issues in the asian version, and all items that gave an unfair advantage were removed from the cash shop (save for the ones that you can get easily in game). -Gold spammers: Yeah they exist. So does a block list, and a "global shout" filter. Super easy to not see spammers. **UPDATE** Global shouts have been disabled in the meantime, so gold spammers should no longer be an issue. -Bugs: Yeah, they are there. So is the tag "open beta". I see many people take for granted the fact that they have to pay $0.00 to play this game, and that "beta" is meant as "beta testing". None of the bugs are game-breaking, and actually many have been fixed in the past 48 hours. I would recommend this game. A few positives here: -It is entirely possible to hit max level with great gear all free to play. The majority of cash shop items are cosmetics (player and mount skins), convenience (no transport fees, storage anywhere, etc), and things like that. -They also upped the amount of premium currency that drops (as compared to the asian version), so even if there is something in the cash shop you want (like a skin), you can get it very fast in game. -The mounts are visually appealling, as well as the landscapes. -The class abilities feel engaging, are flashy, and flow well together. Negatives: -Lower tier familiars are pretty useless with low energy (although higher tiers are easy to get). -PvP is only duels currently (game is expanding through open beta, more PvP will be added before July ends). TL;DR This game is 1. free, and 2. in beta. Great f2p game that isn't p2w like its asian version.

Fun game so far, i like how they are slowly increasing the level caps so that it doesn't feel like a rush to grind out the max level. There should be tons more content for this game as it has been out in S.Korea for awhile now. The pet collecting is def. a cool plus as you can tame a mount then turn that mount into a pet that fights beside you. I have encountered a few lag spikes during a boss fight which sucked major balls but that has been about it in terms of issues.

This is pretty much a fun and actually creative version of Dragomon. Its a MMO with a pokemon-esque basis of collecting mounts. The mounts themselves range from rather mundane to things that make your jaws drop. Combat is rather fun although shallow at times, being mainly hotbar focused and having a bit of a fuax-action style. The game itself is rather pretty, being a Cryengine 3 game. The game does have a few optimization issues, its a bit buggy at times with font not being properly placed so its cut off, some moves dont fire off after charging. The character models as a whole could do with an overhual, easily being the weakest point in the entire game. Cash shop is about regular fair for a F2P game, boosts to EXP and what not being sold, few costumes hopefully they flesh this out, would love to see some amazing costumes in the future. All in all seems like a nice casual MMO that would please anyone who fancies collecting monsters alone or with friends, plently of variety and alot better than its competitor.

I've been a lost little lamb since World of Warcraft went to shit. Going from MMO to MMO trying to find a replacement. Nothing could hold my attention for more than a day. When I first came across this game, I didn't give it much thought. Everyone knows Nexon and their p2w games. Thought it would be another one of those, I'm happy to report 20+ hrs in I havent paid a single penny (well besides me buying into the headstart :P), I'm enjoying myself so much playing this game. I'm playing solo, but recently found a guild (wonderful people) and did a couple dungeon runs with them. I had a blast, the dungeons can be difficult...it does require common sense. If you are a raid veteran like myself it will be easier to overcome bosses (standard get out of the fire, pay attention to what the boss is casting logic). I will write more as the game releases more content etc. But so far, if you are looking for "that main, go to game" like I have been....this is certainly worth your time to see if it's a good fit for you! <33
