Dragon's Nest

Tried the closed beta for a few hours.

So far, plays like a super deformed Vindictus.

Thoughts?

I didn't get into the beta =/ applied the day they announced it too, bah.

But yeah, all the videos I saw just looked like a deformed Vindictus. karokkarokkarok

Open beta starts July 26, 2011.

I found an offline demo and played a little bit. Wasn't that excited about it, but I'll give it a second shot once the open beta starts.

Has anyone played this recently? I saw a friend playing it yesterday at work, and I downloaded it myself last night. The real time combat does make it play a lot like Vindictus, but it's waaaaay more polished, IMO. What I saw yesterday was way more awesome than Vindictus if you ask me, but I didn't like the title a lot to begin with so maybe I am little biased.

Other than the Character Customization being garbage, I think I'm gonna give this game a shot.

Movement feels really slow compared to Vindictus. Being able to dodge only once every few seconds (6 seconds between dodges at rank 1, 3 seconds at max rank) seems somewhat ridiculous to me. Its nice racking up hundred hit combos I guess, and I suppose once one gets higher more things will become available. Watching PVP videos of higher level combatants is somewhat entertaining, but doesn't really seem like something I would enjoy doing.

I think what really turned me off the game though is their cash shop offerings. 20 dollars for a skill reset scroll seems absurd.

I started playing with the beta, and got somewhat high leveled. The sorcerers are top notch and really make the game fun. Clerics are second, but archer and fighter are just really boring. Overall, it is good gameplay, and much more enjoyable with party members. Leveling/ getting new abilities can get slow, so battles dim down after a while, and the story is meh. But it is a free game, and worth the time.
