ELYON PVP FREE

Being given the freedom to aim your abilities is a completely different experience in a video game. As a Mage main, the Elementalist felt absolutely fantastic. Thus far, Mrs Stix and I have tested the Elementalist, Mystic and Slayer classes. While other games like SOLO provide a better leveling experience, and New World provide a better PvE experience, Elyon really captures the “action combat” feeling better than any other title launching this year. This is the single area I believe Elyon really excels. Now, thankfully the action combat cushions the impact of being required to grind a little due to not only how fast it can be at times, but also by how impressive the special effects look overall. This made leveling much more of an arduous process than I would have otherwise liked. You shouldn’t be required to stop and grind content that is absolutely irrelevent to the leveling process. It should be an experience you can tackle at your own pace. Yes, could pop an XP potion or grind dungeons, but leveling should be seamless. I would always hit a point where I needed to accept additional kill quests to continue. It didn’t matter than I did every main quest, every yellow side-quest I could. These were essentially required if you wanted to level, as – at least from my experience – I repeatedly hit walls that prevented me from progressing with the story. However, I did note that these were typically “kill 50 to 100 of the same monster,” with monsters being heavily consolidated into groups. While open worlds can often feel barren, empty, void of content and purpose, Elyon attempts to remedy this by providing a slew of different blue side-quests quests that are entirely unrealated to the typical yellow side-quests, sending players all over the world in an attempt to complete them. You can move without limitation, with the exception being the levels of the monsters in each area. There are no loading screens separating any of it.

Just like I wouldn’t pay $40 to play FlyFF or Secret World Legends, even though I’ve had fun with both titles in the past.Įlyon features a large, open world. On the contrary, it’s actually pretty fun from what I’ve played. It definitely doesn’t feel like a premium title, and I’m afraid that is going to be reflected in its sales and subsequently its playerbase.ĭon’t get me wrong Elyon isn’t in any way a bad game.

I think Elyon would work better as a free title. I’ve seen people compare this to both Bless Unleashed, which launched recently, and New World, which is launching around the same time.Īnd while the combat and graphics are definitely an improvement over Bless, and I daresay the combat is better than both Swords of Legends and New World as well, I don’t think, at its core, this is the better game of the aforementioned titles. Let me start off by saying that I do not think Elyon should be a buy-to-play MMO. And mention what I believe Elyon does right.

Discuss things I think are worth noting before investing money into purchasing the game. The second Closed Beta for Elyon just finished, and with the game launching next month on September 29th, I thought I’d detail my experience through both the Beta tests.
