![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The true horror of that statement can’t be understood until you have sampled Lineage‘s click-heavy interface – click to move, click to attack, click to look around, click to activate skills, and so on. Lineage II greeted me with “go away until you’re level eight!”, “go and collect 40 wolf pelts!”, and the final mission to be recognised as a ‘True Warrior’, involved me running between two non-player characters six times. They bombard you in the early levels with choices, skills and quests all to get you excited about the world that lies before you, and to get you hooked. Most games of a similar nature know that the customer is what’s most important. Usually I’d be inclined to agree with you, but it’s the overall lack of interest in new players that astonishes me with this game. You lack the skills or items to contend with that many enemies at these levels, so you run.Īt this point you’re probably saying to yourself, “well yeah, that’s standard MMORPG procedure – being weak is what makes you pick your fights, know your skills, plan your inventory and essentially learn the game”. It’s at this point that the overly-dense population you justified to yourself 30 minutes ago comes back to haunt you – densely-packed groups of enemies mean every attack on one of them leads to several of his chums chasing you down. Slowly you move onto tougher game werewolves, goblins and, um, foghorn leghorns. So, for a while you’re all too happy to wade through the dogs, wolves and… baby dogs and baby wolves, as their family members stand around, eagerly waiting for their chance to become a percentage in your progress bar. But you commend him for the effort… and eat your spaghetti. As it stands, the whole area smacks of a bad restaurant renovation, and a manager over-preparing for customers who never came. This seems to have been put in place to ensure that there would always be enough prey to go around, even during the busy period just after an update, when every man and his starved-for-attention kids scramble to sample the new content. Unfortunately, animal reproduction on this new island seems to be out of control (something in the water, I guess), and you’re left facing off against five times the amount of enemies seen in the other starter areas. ![]() They also get a brand-spanking new island all of their own, allowing newbies of any race to teleport in, and take part in the new content. A new playable race, they’re essentially soul-sucking vampire wannabes, with a penchant for the Final Fantasy design style. Perhaps the most interesting feature, though, is the recent introduction of the Kamael themselves. New skills for mid-level characters, slightly less skills for high-level characters, and newly-added quests for all. Another jaunt into a medieval fantasy world filled with swords, spells, orcs, elves and stuff.Ĭhaotic Throne‘s latest update, The Kamael, boasts a whole plethora of added extras to the already established gaming world.
