Įlyon was released in Korea on December 10, 2020. The game has focused on dynamic combat between two Realms, Vulpin, and Ontari, with players using diverse skill combinations based on the non-targeting system. I just hope that they aren’t setting themselves up to fail with how large of an overhaul this is.Elyon (formerly known as Ascent: Infinite Realm) was a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Bluehole and published by Kakao Games. The focus on the story, the FATE-inspired world quests, the dungeons and raids which have been shown off in gameplay trailers – it all looks really, really promising. Granted the autopathing will always be an issue for me as I don’t think it should exist, but what can you do. Performance has been improved, the game world is more grounded and has less of a focus on random flying.

It has shown substantial improvement in a variety of areas I wanted: Combat is no longer tab-target and is instead much faster action oriented. We’ll still have plenty of opportunities to engage players in PvP in the sky, and there’ll be plenty of PvE content that takes us into the air as well, but it will no longer be the main focus of the game. They stated the reason behind this: “in order for users to collide naturally, the degree of freedom in the sky must be reduced.” You’d move around from floating island to floating island, exploring an enormous open world mostly atop your flying mount of choice, with the land housing content, but the focus being in the skies.Įlyon will take place down to the ground, with little content being available in the air. I’ve never been a fan so I won’t be participating, but the open-world PvP, while I know some of you will be instantly turned off at the mere mention of forced PvP, is something I look forward to engaging in!Īs for the type of content, initially, A:IR was going to be an MMORPG that took place predominantly within the sky. ’cause everyone wants to get in on that right now due to how popular BRs are.

Additionally, they’ll have 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 Arenas for players to group up in, Realm vs Realm encounters, and a Free for All Battlefield, that will function as a Battle Royale. PvP is not optional in these zones as far as I’m aware, as you’ll be forced into combat with other players while in areas marked as PvP zones. With regards to PvP, the game will have unique PvP zones that allow players to tackle PvPvE content, having players fight one another, along with monsters to complete their quests. Other than that, the only major change to the game is the PvP and the focus on the type of content we’ll have access to. This is not the direction I wanted Elyon to go but it might not be that big of an issue for some people. You’d see hundreds of players all autopathing to a quest NPC and then standing there like zombies. Otherwise we have what happened in Revelation Online: Hundreds of players all AFK following the exact same route. I’m aware this is present in BDO as well, but I feel like engaging with other players in the world is part of what makes an MMO.

I really disliked this about A:IR and was hoping it didn’t make it into the end version of the MMO but unfortunately, here it is. You can autopath to your quest objective, meaning that it’s definitely plausible that half the people you see out in the large, open world will be AFK. One thing I did notice though while players were out in the world, was that the game utilizes a form of autopathing. There are also functional dungeons and raids, but I never saw anyone participate in either, unfortunately. You have region quests specific to the region you’re in, with quests actually going as far as opening up entirely new regions all together, and world quests that function kind of like FATEs in Final Fantasy XIV.

Everywhere you went, everything you did was due to the main story, and MMOs that have a strong narrative end up doing better than those that don’t.Įlyon, from what I can tell, still has a focus on the main story, but it also provides various other types of content to engage in while progressing. While combat is important, one thing I recall in A:IR was that it had a strong focus on story-telling. There are a variety of different classes, each with their own unique abilities and combat styles, but after seeing how different the Mage plays compared to when I played Mage back in A:IR, I’m kind of impressed. From what I’ve seen from various streams, combat seems completely action-based now, much closer to Black Desert but still not as fast.

The goal with Elyon was to take the combat, and completely overhaul it, moving away from tab-target and towards a full action-combat system. First, let’s talk about the combat, since I know that’s something you’re all concerned with.Īscent: Infinite Realm was a tab-target MMO – which is a weird direction to take the game, especially since it’s developed from the team behind TERA, one of the better action MMOs out there right now.
