Newest iteration of Lineage by NCSoft? Looks like BDO in a lot of ways. Which hell, if it wasnt for my gear blowing up - I probably never would have quit back on thats release. Still chuckle at Asian games that are 100% white people though, lol.
Game looks good, but I already know its going to have some lame gear upgrade system and a lot of P2W.The videos look nice, but there is a surprising lack of information given it's proximity to release, if the date is accurate.
This is honestly what keeps me from most Korean MMOs. I LOVE a good grindfest and shit that is "hard" to obtain, but the RNG nature of Korean MMO's gearing system is just something I've realized I can't really fucking stand. It's a shame too, because they make gorgeous looking MMOs as well as really great combat systems.its going to have some lame gear upgrade system
Honestly, BDO has come the "closest" and was the first MMO since WoW that I "subscribed"(I only allowed myself to spend a max of $15/month on cash shop items) to for longer than 4 months. BDO's upgrade system wasn't that bad once you understood it and realized it was a numbers/capital game. For most players, it was FAR easier/wiser to save yourself the headache and just grind up the currency required to buy your upgrades from the AH(another problem I have with Korean MMOs, but I like player-driven economies more than the raiding scene typically, so I usually overlook that the "best" gear comes from the AH in many Eastern MMOs).YEah looks cool but you dont know whats under the hood. All arrows point to it being just another Lost Ark/BDO gear upgrade BS RNG systems that suck all the life out of these games.
