The article is published In December issue of the magazine "Best Computer Games". Recall that the materials on online games are placed on “gaming XP” within four weeks after the new number of LIKs in the retail sale is released.

A full list of online materials from the LCD, which will be placed on the "gambling of XP" will follow later. Expect both text publications and video reports.

Lineage 2 – One of the most long -lived online roofs of the Korean School. Without a powerful PVE-component, the “ruler” is distinguished by rigid rules, the most powerful free PVP and large-scale guild wars. Actually, this allows her to stay afloat in the middle of the whole ocean of the online worlds.

Only now, eight years later, the game was stubborn against the background of the hordes of competitors who practice a more fresh approach to the entertainment of players. Correct the situation and breathe a new life into an aged universe, an addition is called upon Goddess of destructions.

Apocalypse now

The plot is God is simple, like boots, and straightforward, like a barrier. The long -term imprisonment of the goddess of destruction of Shilen in the kingdom of darkness did not contribute to re -education of an ominous lady. When four of the seven seals restrained the goddess were broken, she decided at all costs to break out of the will and arrange a fun life to the offenders.

The first from the divine anger were the devoted followers of the goddess. The unbalanced lady sacrificed the lives of creatures settled by the catacombs and necropolis to break the remaining three seals. And then – it’s clear. Bloody rain, plague, hordes of angry monsters, destroyed villages and besieged cities … Again, we fortune clock casino observe the plan “Dream of Black Lord” in action in action.

Here, characters are forever part with old professions and receive the power of giants. In a word, reborn.

Without waiting for help from his gods, the oppressed peoples of Elmoraden gained hope for salvation thanks to the power of giants – an ancient race, now practically extinct. As by order, a whole flying city fell on the speaking island, full of advanced technologies, and even with the last surviving giant on board ..

Do not angry a woman

On acquaintance with the inheritance of giants and the confrontation of the forces of the goddess of destruction, all the contents of the additions are based. Shilen herself will not be killed – NCSOFT , Unlike Blizzard, iconic persons are not scattered. The heroes have to deal with her many henchmen: there are huge worms, devouring entire villages, and ghosts of the heroes of antiquity, and kings struck by the insanity … Global showdowns will turn around after eighty -fifth levels.

But the initial stage of the game affected the change. NCSOFT in their "cataclysmic" undertakings went almost further Blizzard and not just dispersed many old locations, but cynically reddrew them with the ground. On the site of the "newcomers" villages there were empty and lifeless ruins. And now the heroes of all peoples, without exception, start in a rebuilt village of the Talking Island, the former homeland of heroes-people.

In the "instance" the seed of destruction used to meddle. But now the heroes have grown up and are ready to meet with there.

In contrast to the tradition of old unkind “chronicle” and “thrones of chaos”, unoparled newcomers from now on, do not spare and cherish, without sparing strength. They clearly show how to use shower charges, they escort by the handle to the right characters and carefully make sure that the player does not overwhelm, performing starting tasks. The show program has a walk in destroyed villages, the fight against greedy villains, expeditions in the bowels of the ancient buildings of giants ..

But there was not enough further than the forty levels of developers. In a great moment, the updated quest chain abrupts abruptly. Heroes grown under greenhouse conditions are absolutely not ready for the harsh realities of the “real” Lineage 2, with its hard PVP and ascetic development. It is good if there is a kind person who will explain the basics of interaction with the group and subtleties of PVP mechanics on his fingers ..

But veterans, well familiar with the life of the "line", the initial stage of the game allows you to quickly achieve its former power from absolute zero. The benefit of both experience and money for new quests is distributed, never stinging.

The King of the Giant Harnak is wanted. Armed and very dangerous, for nothing that has long been dead.

Rubbed foundations

However, something experienced ruler will have to get used to it again. For example, before the full detachment came nine players, and now – only seven. Reason: Now dancers with minstrels give out the same blessings, and bishops with priests can restore both mana and health at the same time. Therefore, the party can do with one doctor and one blesser.

THIS IS INTERESTING: Catacombs and necropolis – the once popular places of pilgrimage of heroes – are now sealed. They fulfilled their function – Shilen returned, it's time to hang on the gate a "closed" sign. Thus, demiurges put an end to the global conflict of the Lords of Dawn and the rebels of sunset.

As soon as the player begins to master new content, designed to conduct it to the New Year of Development – ninety -ninth levels – he is dumbfounded by another key novelty. At the 85th level, the heroes go through a simple but entertaining quest and … reborn.Rebirth here is the receipt of the fourth profession. This name is quite justified: after this procedure, the hero … Well, yes, as if it were born again.

Many were interested whose hand sticks out in the middle of the village of Dark Elves. This is better visible?

The power of giants

There used to have thirty -five subclasses. Such a variety led to the formation of a cloud of professions, which differ only in part of the parameters and animation of skills. But the most offensive was that at the tournaments of the group of magicians almost always defeated the soldiers and archers, and some classes remained unclaimed at all.

Charter from futile attempts to balance all this horde, the developers went wa-bank. Now, when taking the fourth profession, players choose one of eight unified classes. Regardless of the race, all the thick -skinned “tanks” become the knights of the Siegel, the workers of the cloak and dagger are addressed by the Odal robbers, the support specialists – the ISA spellors, and so on. Old skills after rebirth disappear, and players have to study from scratch, getting used to a fresh set of skills.

You can turn into this cute little animal in the course of the execution of one of the quests.

In the former Lineage 2, instant killings were the norm. And the victorious tactics, say, for the Kamael crossbow against wizards, often came down to protection from magic and shelling of the sorcerer with a three attacking skills. Today, all the arrows are reborn into EURA archers and lose this ultimatic combination. Now, in order to increase the chances of survival under a magic bombing, the shooter involves a skill that increases the likelihood of evasion. This will avoid immobilizing spells, and then, say, stun the magician with a special shot. With the help of a powerful casting attack, the archer can bring down the enemy from the target. The arrow and the competent alternation of three combat racks will help – we will conditionally call them “heavy”, “high -speed” and “sniper”.

But the wizard is unlikely to humbly expect when he is aimed and killed. Teleporting, he leaves the sight. One of the mage’s fighting spells simultaneously makes the enemy more vulnerable to the profile element, a number of others will hang negative effects on the shooter … If both duels competently reveal their advantages, predict the outcome of the battle unrealistic. And it will definitely not end after a couple of shots.

Also, the reborn heroes have the opportunity to call a rider animal at any time. In the past, horses needed to grow or buy in a gaming store for a long time and tedious. Casual simplification? In our opinion, no one gets worse from such simplifications. Less routine – more gameplay.

In general, the celebration of rudimentary elements (like the same “extra” specializations) became the Godddess of Destruption leitmotif. The developers have long been digging in this direction, but right now the modernization of the "line" has reached the climax.

The character creation screen has become more practical. For example, he immediately displays the path from the first profession to the class of rebirth.

* * *

We note in the end that the update brought a cloud of new territories and a number of “instances” with epic bosses. And a bunch of just trifles. In general, taking the course "on the people", Lineage 2 remained true to herself. The amount of experience necessary for obtaining eighty -fifth levels is significantly reduced – so that the players quickly taste the charm of rebirth. But then the game returns to the usual pace. Ninety -ninth level far; Even those who reached ninety -first, at the time of writing, could still be counted on the fingers of the average hand.

In some places the update turned out to be rough, but it performs its task at five with a plus. And there is already not far from the most important – brutal PVP and large -scale raids.

Remember: I would like:

– rebirth and real strength of giants

– rebuilt talking island

– more outdelive quests

– Solving a demographic problem in the starting village

[Verdict XP] (javaScript:;)

At first, it seems that Lineage 2 was retrained into a casual attraction, but after a while the game sharply shows its real essence. Before us is still an old kind "ruler", only in a new dress.
