Forsaken

World launched its first alpha test in China on March 26th.

Here is the second part of a thorough analysis on its advantages and
disadvantages from all aspects. You can read part one here:
Exclusive: Review on Forsaken World's Alpha Test Part I.
Subclass System
Subclasses actually mean life skills in the game. Characters are able
to
learn after level 10. There are 14 subclasses in Forsaken World, but
only 8 of
them are available in the alpha test: botanist, mineralogist, alchemist,

fisherman, cook, socialite, adventurer, craftsman, and 6 of them haven't
been
released: astrologist, tamer, merchant, collector, arcanist and
magician.

Full
Size
Players can gather, manufacture or do quests to accumulate subclass
Exp and
level it up. In the meantime, they can earn Exp and rewards through
subclass
quests.

Quest System

• Quests are abundant with mainline, branch, social, event, adventurer
  and
  practice types.
  
• Mainline Quests: Affect the evolvement of the whole game story.
  
• Branch Quests: Cut some NPC experiences and introductions.
  
• Social Quests: Players can automatically acquire the socialite
  subclass
  after reaching level 20. Accept a series of quests from the social quest
  issuing
  NPC and gain much Exp and increase the socialite subclass Exp. With the
  increase
  of the social level, players are able to accept more advanced social
  quests, but
  one round is allowed per day.
  
• Event Quests: Be held in a particular time every day.
  
• Practice Quests: Can be accepted repeatedly but there is a
  limit of the
  acceptance times.
  
• Adventurer Quests: Players can automatically acquire the
  adventurer subclass
  after reaching level 30. The Quest NPC will give players a quest
  randomly and
  they should do what it requires (The acceptance times are also
  restricted).
  

Full
Size
Thanks to the path-finding function, it is not difficult to complete
most
quests which mainly require players to kill, run, gather or purchase.
Certainly,
not all quests are so easy. Some quests are pretty interactive. For
instance, a
social quest named Scent of a Woman must be done by two players of the
opposite
sex in the form of a team. I haven't completed it, because I didn't have
a
female companion in the game.
Aside from that, there is a circus quest called Nightmare Fairground
which
falls into 4 stages. The first stage is to test your reaction ability:
follow
the aurora, go through the middle poisonous fog area and get to the
opposite
side. The second stage is to test your comprehension ability: the NPC
will ask
you to do what he said or what he did. The third stage is to test
teammates'
consciousness by means of simple addition and subtraction problems. The
fourth
stage requires players to pick up things in a given time. More rewards
will be
given to the one who picks up more things.

Instance System
Forsaken

World's instances are as boring as other Perfect World
Entertainment's
games. Monsters have low AI, but high HP and high Attack. Usually, 1
healing
class, 1 damage dealer class and 1 tank class can pass the instance
together.
They only need to slay monsters while resisting instead of changing
positions
from time to time.

Full
Size
Here, it is necessary to mention the event instance Divine Training.
Actually, this instance is not pleasurable, although it provides
abundant Exp
reward. Too many monsters are arranged there and the BOSS won't turn up
until
more than 100 elemental monsters are killed. Furthermore, the slow
background
music and combat tempo indeed make people listless and doze off midway.
Pet System

Full
Size
Players can kill particular monsters (a bean symbol will be displayed
near
the level of a particular monster) in instances or open air and knock
their
souls away.


Use the Catch Pet skill to capture the soul.


After refining, players will get pets of different levels.


Pets will have different scores, talents, attribute attacks and
weaknesses
based on the refining time.
Each pet has its own talent level: HP, attack, defense which will
have an
impact on corresponding attribute bonuses.
Pets even have up to 2 attribute attack tendencies and 2 attribute
weaknesses.
Besides, they have attack skills, passive skills and can
add
buffs to their master.

1. Combine Pet Souls
Place the pet you want to keep in the pet column and drag another one
to the
material column and then combine them to improve the target pet's talent
level
and change its proficiency.


2. Learn Pet Skills
Pet skills can be learnt from eliminating Bosses in the Resting
Canyon
instance.
Put the pet and skill book to the column and pay some money to learn
the
skill.


Constellation Astrology
Currently, it is more like a lottery system. If you are lucky enough,
you can
receive rewards and a random blessing buff, otherwise, nothing will be
obtained.
The constellation time will change once per hour in a clockwise
direction. No
matter what constellation you belong to, you can make a divination every
time
when the constellation time changes and may be lucky to reap blessed
buffs and
items, like Double Exp Cards and Star Crystals. If it is just your
constellation
time, you will be more likely to gain those rewards.
Soul PK Mode
Soul PK mode plays the role of increasing the damage when players
stage a
duel. A player can attack the opponent and knock away its souls. After
that,
absorb the souls to increase the soul PK ability and damage amount. The
longer
the Soul PK mode is activated, the worse the soul PK ability will
become.

Full
Size
In the default mode, except orange and red-name players, guild,
white-name
and legion players are under the PK protection. If you want to challenge
other
players, you can inactivate the protection to white-name players in the
PK
settings panel, at that time, you can attack white-name players, but
your name
will become orange if you do so. After killing a white-name player, your
name
will even become red. Red-name players will lose unbound items in their
backpack
if they are dead.
Character Development
Level 1-10: Complete mainline and branch quests and accept some daily
event
quests in Freedom Dock after level 10.
Accept circus quests at level 15 and earn Gold and Exp. Accept social
quests
at level 20 and challenge the Divine Training instance at 7:00pm every
day where
players can take part in the Double Exp event and gain considerable Exp
reward.
Together with the mainline, branch and daily quests, players can level
up
smoothly. Additionally, they can accept 3 guild quests every day after
they join
a guild.

Other Systems
1. Ranking System
Players can check their level ranking, guild ranking and wealth
ranking in
the game.
2. Guild System
10 Gold is needed to create a guild. Level 2 guilds can declare war
against
other guilds. Other functions haven't been released.

Full
Size
3. Achievement System
Win achievements through completing mainline and branch quests or
collecting
cards dropped by monsters.
4. Trade System
No auction houses are designed in the game, thus players have to
trade
directly as well as set stalls in the street, but the trade system is
not
available now!
Other creative contents that were announced by the
official
haven't been released yet…

Summary
In brief, Forsaken World has substantial background content,
exquisite
graphics, a variety of quests and low system requirements.
Apparently, except the background story, Perfect World Entertainment
developed the game itself, including the game engine. The alpha test
version is
a bit tedious and the class balance and skill effects need improving.
However,
Perfect World has definitely moved a step forward, anyhow, it has paid
much in
the game content.

Straight from FW Forums:
October 27th.

At last, I am able to present to everyone here the date that the first phase of the Forsaken World closed beta will begin on. I understand that it's been very frustrating waiting to hear news about this games launch date, and that many people are very eagerly waiting to get in-game.

The wait is almost over, and now you can count down the days. We'll have more information on how the first phase of this closed beta will work, along with information for those accepted into the first phase of testing.

Sorry for the long wait. It will be worth it.

Ahhh, great news, thanks Ryu.

neo u guys should start getting the ppl ready soon when oct starting if u guys are still keen on FW.like making recruit thread in fw pw forum and stuff.u guys will need more ppl to join since it will be ip block in a few country.but most countries can still play so shouldn be too much of a issue.

and decide who have the time to lead and be sub etc etc.

aside from the fact it is from pw and likely to be very cash mail based i think this is a good game with server wars and stuff heh.

if need be get mina to send out newsletter if she is playing also :)

i join for sure ^^ already sine up for beta

Made it into beta

Beta keys here, hurry!


http://contest.mmosite.com/giveaway/forsaken_world_closed_beta_key_giveaway/

BDS48-Z2M-91BT
CHT45-T9J-89RJ

have 2 beta keys

I'm guessing that whoever jumps into this game will likely face the following guilds. I'm predicting that if they ever seek alliances among each other, this will occur:

Phoenix
Classic
Ragnarok

BlackCard
Empire
Executioners

Bloodpact
RageQuit

...assuming they find themselves in the same server and stay longer than a year after official launch. ^^

thing about f2p mmo is nowadays i seldom see a guild last a year. lol

that why i pick p2p mmo for now.maybe it will be better later on when new gen mmo for f2p is here

Nowadays? Quite true I guess.
That's one reason Forsaken World is among the last two F2P titles I plan to test.

P2P or F2P, no MMO is ever truly cost free. No MMO is ever truly perfect either. For me, an MMO is only worth playing if it:
1. does not fail as a game itself
2. does not fail its players

funny why PWI is running so dam good already 2 years and its F2P also

there are plenty off good F2P that you can play for years also long run on a guild

why you think i did 4 years cabal ?? 2 years RF online and so on
and am sure PWI gone be a long run also

i see the companie take care of his players and game
i see that becouse even when it very populair no dam cash boters ore hackers ad all ??
nowhere to be found and that make for me a great game already

and then you see Aion a P2P game with full off hackers so for me its a waste of mony to even try that ore play it

if the companie simple cant stop it its to sad for words
but for now F2P is much better then any P2P atm ok WOW is stil markt leader

but thats a orther story blizzard now how to keep players xD
i wil see if FF 14 gets off the ground i dont think so

more and more orther mmorpg are comming so i dont think they can hold the players
but its up to the companie that they can

Noooooooooooooooooooooo.............T__T (e-mail)
