As the plot progresses, players will find that the lines dividing good and evil are not as straightforward as they seem. One of the new Nest bosses, Typhoon Kim is actually the father of Orc Kim, a friend whom players have befriended on their journey so far. Tired of being enslaved by stronger monsters, and chased away from their homes by humans, Typhoon Kim led his Orc kind to join the side of the Dragons, borrowing their power to give strength to his species. Now standing on opposing sides of the war, players will have to take down this great Orc leader to fulfill their duties as Protectors of the land.

The comprehensive story of Dragon Nest can also be seen in Professor K’s Nest, where players have to fight a gifted but absolutely insane scientist who is obsessed with creating eternal life due to the unfortunate death of his beloved wife. Professor K had accidentally stumbled upon a meteor crash site and devoted all his time and energy into creating an eternal life form to cheat death at all cost. Players must stop him before things go out of hand!

The introduction of new skills is also one of the key highlights of this major update. The Combined Skills System allows a new set of passive skills to be learnt by adding up the total levels of the player’s characters. Players can also learn new EX skills during levels 55 and 60, giving them a more powerful boost in the battlefield.

The opening of a new portal in Lotus Marsh will allow Dragon Nest lore followers to further explore the storyline in the form of 5 new maps and new quests. This new area has been identified as a meteor crash site, and the bad news is that the crash had corrupted and deformed many of the creatures near the site. The good news is that players of Dragon Nest SEA will be the first ones in the world to experience the dangers and trials of this new area in an English-language service!

“The new level 60 cap opens a kaleidoscope of discoveries, from the introduction of new skills features to the continuation of the main storyline,” said Mr Addison Kang, Vice-President and Producer of Shanda Games International. “It’s going be an exciting and memorable ride ahead filled with friendships, challenges and betrayals as players seek new knowledge and pursue new skills. It is almost a reflection of real life in one nifty update!”

Question Of The Video: Do you think gamers are becoming cheap? Why or why not? Leave your comment down below because I’m interested in what the community thinks about this subject!

The post Are MMO Gamers Becoming Cheap? appeared first on GameHaunt.

As many of you know, Perfect World is known for heavy item mall games that require either a lot of grinding, or a lot of real money to progress your character. With only a couple Perfect World published games that don’t have a heavy reliance to their item malls, it was a roll of the dice for a Neverwinter MMO published by the notorious company.

At the end the beta, I found Neverwinter to be an amazing game. In this blog, I want to detail my main reasons why I’m excited for this games Open Beta that starts the 30th of April, 2013… that is unless you bought a spendy founders pack.

1.) Action Combat!

My main excitement comes from the brilliantly executed Action Combat system in Neverwinter. Why you might ask? Well even though it’s a form of ridicule combat found in The Secret World, it is way more polished, weighted, and fast paced. Each hit you land feels so weighted I’d hate to be at the other end of the blade I slash my targets with. The sound effects, added blood, and animations as well make for an even more amazing combat system in this game, a polish you wouldn’t really expect from a Cryptic title.

2.) Questing!

It has been a while since I’ve enjoyed questing in a Free 2 Play game and that’s simply because I don’t feel attached to the world I’m in, nor the story that goes along with it. However, with Neverwinter comes a fully voiced world, and even though the mouth animations are sub par, it still immerses you into the world that much more. This added touch along with their smart quest helper, are two minor touches that aid a player in immersing their self in the world with out getting lost.

Neverwinter does even more then that though. With player made quests in the games Foundry system, any player can make their own content to add to the games world. This not only adds to the amount of content in the game, but also makes the community more tightly nit and engulfed with the games development.

In the end, questing in Neverwinter is amazing because it’s semi open world, fully voiced, has a smart quest navigation system, and player made content which are four things that makes this Action MMO stand out from its competition.

3.) BATTLEGROUND PVP ON RELEASE?!?!?

Finally we come to one of the best parts about Neverwinter, IT HAS BATTLEGROUND PVP ON LAUNCH! What a concept right *Cough* Tera *Cough Cough*! When I saw this in one of the beta weekends I knew I would be playing the hell out of this game on launch, why? Well I’m a big PVPer and one of the things that killed me about Tera at launch was the fact it didn’t have a battleground PVP system and even STILL TODAY it may have one, but only for cap levels which is ABSURD!!! What’s cool about Neverwinters PVP system as well, is you get auto leveled to the cap for the bracket you qued into. So for example a level 20 will be auto leveled to 29 to balance out the stats so you don’t get pwned. This is not only extremely awesome, but a standard I wish every PVP system had.

To conclude, this game has all the potential in the world to be the Action MMO of choice for many gamers out their who play F2P games. Why? Well as described up above it has a great, fluid, and weighted combat system, a great questing system that is fully voiced, and battle ground PVP at launch for most levels to enjoy!
