According to the press release, “a large portion of the content in the game is being revamped.” While I haven’t really gotten any “hands-on” time with the game yet, and I really hope I do, it’s a safe bet to assume that this will be a more updated version of TERA’s combat.Ĭombat isn’t the only aspect of the game that was overhauled, though. This is fantastic news as TERA actually has some of my favorite combat in an MMO. In Elyon, though? They’ve overhauled the entire combat system and are now claiming it utilizes non-target dynamic combat – the very same combat system that TERA uses. I think I touched on that at one point during one of my videos, I can’t recall. But A:IR? Yikes, that wasn’t good at all. There have been some great MMOs with tab-target combat: Aion, ArcheAge and World of Warcraft all come to mind. They have every intention on releasing in the West as soon as they can, but their goal right now is to make certain that players located within South Korea are happy with the state of the game.Įlyon utilized tab-target combat when it ran under the A:IR title. The South Korean version of Elyon is actually scheduled to go into Closed Beta on April 11th, with an expected release date in North America and Europe sometime. Since I’m doing this on April 3rd and there’s been no confirmation that it is, I’m going to go out and assume this is real. This left quite a few people wondering if it was merely an elaborate April Fool’s joke. The game was initially teased last week, with a release date for the information scheduled to come out on April 1st. Today I plan on covering everything we know about the game, so make sure to stick around! In South Korea, the game will run as “Elyon: Ascent Infinite Realm” whereas it’ll remain just “Elyon” over here in the West. So, in light of this new direction for the game, a brand new name has been revealed: Elyon. Typically, developers don’t really listen to feedback but I’m guessing Bluehole really want this one to succeed, huh? Honestly, I feel like this is a step in the right direction. They would take the time to reflect on the feedback they’d received and attempt to make a better game. So after a lot of feedback from players, Bluehole felt that it’d be better to, instead of releasing the game in the form that they had been testing for the past. No joke, a lot of improvements needed to be made, and the devs behind the game realized this. There was a lot that needed improvement – graphically, the game looked great but performance was very poor, the character animations were clunky and the combat was tab-target, and not the fun, well designed kind. Who here is still anticipating Ascent: Infinite Realm? Mrs Stix and I both played through the South Korean and Thai versions of the game when it was holding Beta tests.
