Dragon Nest has
officially launched its open beta in Japan. Here, we'd
like to give a detailed introduction to the in-game 8 promoted
classes and the highly anticipated promotion system, and also
game content which has been modified and updated in OBT.










Introduction to 8 promoted classes
Characters must reach level 15 at least and complete corresponding
quests to achieve the first promotion.
Two promoted classes are for one original class:
Warrior: Sword
Master / Mercenary




Archer: Bow
Master / Acrobat




Cleric: Paladin
/ Priest




Sorceress: Elemental
Lord / Force
User




The former promoted classes can be seen as the fortified original
classes, but the latter ones integrate some different elements, which
result in distinct gameplay. Before promotion, each original class uses
exclusive weapons and its skill casting doesn't rely on the equipped
weapon. Take Sword Masters for example, aside from swords, they can
also equip other weapons, but they cannot give full play to the
attributes of those weapons. Therefore, players have to think over what
they like or excel before they promote.

In terms of skills, players' skill tree will be updated after they
finish promoting. Players can distribute points to former skills to
strengthen them, but as the points are limited, players should allot
points reasonably based on their needs.

Dragon Nest's
Chinese version has launched OPEN BETA today. This time
no key is needed but only a Shanda account is necessary. Below is a series of guide
that we've just sorted out, including registration, game download and

Dragon Nest Closed Beta Review (KR)

Controls
The controls are as good as they get in my opinion. W A S D
to move around, TAB key to switch between battle mode stance, 1-0 for
your hotkey bar, left click mouse for primary attack, right click for
secondary, and spacebar to jump. Takes like a minute to get used to
the controls, then you should be all set. You can tap any of the
directional keys twice to dash/teleport to that direction, which can
be very useful in large scale battles. When you aren't in battle mode
stance your character runs faster so most people usually stow their
weapon away if they are running great distances. If you have a lot of
mana to spare you can just spam dash to your desired location which is a
little bit faster than running with your weapon sheathed.

A combo MMORPG (Yep, not target >__<), is in Chinese though, am not sure when would the English version will be here.

I'm planning to play it and was wondering if anyone wants to come with me, yes, I'm talking about you Shu aka shoe.

Chinese website:
http://dn.sdo.com/web7/home/index.asp

nivy if u care to read i already posted this info lol

https://aeth.darkbb.com/new-mmorpgs-f43/dragonnest-t2519-15.htm

if u register a account for me i might come play and test with u ^^

Oh Shu, am downloading the game and test out.

So far, I really like the description of Priest and Elemental Lord (Bahamut forum for the way <3)

If the game is good, I'll help you register the account. Let me phone Fish (Yes, my SMT dungeon partner lol) too, I remember he did mention this MMO before but I was so sleepy that time.

Paladin and Acrobat <3!!!

the warrior and the swordmaster are the same thing o-o...

same with the sorceress, its a combo of the force and elemental..

cleric priest same.. and 2 archers... lol.. they took out of 3 classes and made like 10

too bad there's no English version/beta yet

Elemental Lord concentrate on Fire and Ice aka DD. Their most powerful skill is the Broom thing (The one where the girl rides on broom and laughing while zooming to the mob crowd). When you're in boss, if she uses this skill, you can practically prepare to roll the loot box. Fire = Dmg, Ice = A bit CC.

Force Master concentrate on Dark and Time aka CC. She can AoE root, AoE slow, AoE Magnet (Suck all mob into one place) and so on but Dark spell damage is not high at all. Then again, they got a skill regarding Light Time (光系空間) that got high damage but you're pretty much torturing yourself more than Palladin did before you get this skill.

From what I read, the peak of pyramid PVP classes are:
Mercenary, Acrobat and Palladin.

Priest skill can be used to interrupt boss skill, AoE (If he concentrates, he can do 2/3 of the DD) and the only healing class. But yea, is mainly good in PvE and went downhill in PvP.

Mercenary.. didn't research but they uses axe or something, one of the best PvP classes and good in PvE (Cause of the April patch in KR and JP server that enhances Axe damage). Oh yea, they got a skill that silents enemy and debuff 2 buff. = =;

Acrobat, I just skimmed through but it's good in PvP and hard to get party in PvE. But a good Acrobat can combo skills and kill Palladin and Mercenary without problem.

Bow Master skills got long CD but good AoE to clear monster. But the class is only good in party since it needs someone to distract the monster. Can't PvP.

Also, it seems the definition of tank DOESN'T EXIST so Palladin would have a hard time in PvE but they're good in PvP.

Sword Master is a balanced class, well rounded. That's it.

=x That's my research so far.

Shu, I'll register and pm you your account later.

My archer and mage are lv9 so far. The game is not bad to be honest, very fun too. Archer is a bit tricky at first cause of the arrow shooting but you'll get used to it when you're lv4 or 5.

The grind is not bad at all, not hard to level up (yet, not sure about later on LOL).

The skills are quite nice (Archer ones, when the girl turns upside down and rotate like a blade to kick monsters). Also, to compliment the review, here are some nice screenshot.









I took the best screenshots in game, don't you think so? ^^
