Taiwanese game developer, XPEC, revealed its second 3D oriental fantasy MMORPG Weapons of Mythology in company with a promotional trailer at TGS 2011.
Disclosed by XPEC, Weapons of Mythology
will provide an innovative talisman system and enable players to enjoy
the thrill of instant killing. With hundreds of available talismans,
players can make different combinations and find the strongest one to
challenge the legendary monsters in the instances and fight against
other players in DOTA. The game also features a pet system, in
which players can interact with pets to increase their intimacy. The
intimacy between players and pets will have an impact on the pets'
performance in assisting players. Pets that have practiced for 1,000
years can morph into humans and do personified actions beside players.
Set in 204 BC when Xiang Yu competed with Liu Bang for the throne
after the Qin Dynasty fell apart, the game allows players to travel
across ancient China, meet famous historical figures, produce elixir,
defeat demons and help Liu Bang stabilize the world. Along with the
increase of their level, players can ascend to heaven and enhance their
strength and talisman to resist invasive demons.
XPEC has also pointed out, employing
the 3D next-gen graphic technology, the game will render a strong
eastern fantasy style and is certain to give players a brand new visual
experience because of its vivid graphics. 5 sects will be playable, each
with distinct characteristics. Only players from different sects
cooperate with each other, can they overcome difficulties and pass
through instances. Every class has its own advantages and cannot be
replaced.
Common Mythological Experience
No matter in
eastern or western mythology, every immortal has a representative
talisman. If the talisman falls into the hands of the mortal, the mortal
will have divine power like an immortal. In Weapons of Mythology, various talismans will emerge with the eastern fantasy color.
The talisman is classified into 3 attributes and 5 ranks, which
restrain one another. That is to say, the talisman with the highest
attack is not always the strongest one. The high-rank talisman can
suppress the low-level one regardless of attributes. When a special
talisman is used, different instructions will be shown on the screen. If
players operate it correctly, it will produce extra special effects.
Pet System
Considering
different demands of players, the game will design different pet
appearances with the aim of attracting more players and expanding the
user group. Breaking through the traditional concept of pets only for
either males or females, the game offers 4 types of pets to cater for
players of both sexes and all ages. Born with different natures, pets
will behave differently and help players in varying degrees. If players
keep interacting with their pets, they can change their behavior.
RVR and PVP
There are 3 kinds of groups: faction, guild and PK team. Different groups are endowed with different gameplay and goals.
Guild: Players need to work together to develop their guild and engage in battles for more territories and rare resources.
PK Team: Players can challenge each other in the DOTA and select the most suitable talismans to fight.
Faction: Players can choose one of the two factions and wage large-scale wars.
Varied Storyline Quests
As XPEC said, it is better to demonstrate the quest than read it.
Due to the game's script system, the quests can be demonstrated instead of being read.
Storyline quests are arranged reasonably so that players won't do the quest repeatedly in a short time.
Storyline quests are coherent, future NPCs are foreshadowed and will be reunited in different time and space.
Weapons of Mythology is still in development and it is unknown when it will enter the market.
