MMOHuts: How large are the parties for dungeons in Astellia Online, and how important is party composition? Will each dungeon absolutely need a tank/healer?Īstellia Online: The default party size is four players, and while you do not need a classic party makeup for story progression, the high-tier dungeons will be significantly more difficult without a The goal of the system is to provide reasonable incentives to do well, while not punishing those who enjoy taking a more casual approach.Ĥ. Another facet of the system rewards players with additional Asper, the game’s currency, for completing the dungeon with a high rank. Where a better performance will push the scales in favor of an increased chance to receive higher quality items, like a heroic item instead of a rare one. So for instance, upon completion players will receive anĪverage, a set range of items (ie: Weapons, Accessories, etc…). Can you tell us how much loot players can expect based on the various ranks?Īstellia Online: The dungeon loot system is divided into multiple parts, in which the performance rank is used to scale each area. MMOHuts: On the topic of Performance, none of the loot is bound to rank in dungeons of Astellia Online, but rank does affect how much loot you acquire. The rank system is there to provide players with the ability to challenge themselves and be rewarded for it.ģ. This logic stays the same regardless of class, but before all the healers out there get their pitchforks: I have personally been able to play a 100% legitimate healer with DPS Astels and get S Rank in all of the dungeons even on Solo Mode. What influences your performance, and is this standard for all character archetypes, or does it vary depending on what you’re playing?Īstellia Online: The logic behind dungeon scores is straightforward, dungeon scores rely on three major factors: Clear Time, Death Count, Kill Count. MMOHuts: Performance is a major factor in how you’re rewarded in a dungeon, from F to S. In internal meetings, we compared it to buying a car, and then having to pay for different FM radio stations whenever you wanted to listen to aĢ. Most of all, something as innate to MMORPG’s as crawling dungeons, which is arguably one of the key trademarks of classical MMO’s.
What inspired this decision?Īstellia Online: To our team, it just didn’t feel right to gate this type of content. MMOHuts: One of the more interesting things I noticed is that while it will feature Dungeon Tickets, a popular trope in Korean MMOs, they will not be purchasable in the Cash Shop in the Western release. This couples with a blog post they released, which can be found in a link below. Dungeons are a key function of MMOs, and we wanted to find out what made their systems different and special in the Free-to-Play MMO sphere. Speaking of which I think this deserves a push to the Suggestion Box.We recently had an opportunity to sit down with the Astellia Online developers to talk about their dungeons. Personally I almost always used my mouse to control my camera and only rarely went into pointer mode, but most MMO's have a control scheme similar to the one we have here. Yeah I agree, it's one of those things that I miss from SWG, being able to toggle into and out of mouse pointer mode.
That way you won't be distracted by the guy trying to kill you or your loot window. I recommend waiting until you finish combat to loot. Only exception should be if you hit buttons while looting. Ok well in groups you will have these problems, otherwise you shouldn't. I know of some complicated unofficial tricks to do so, just wondering why has it not been implemented officially.
#ASTELLIA AUTO LOOT FOR FREE#
I got kicked in the butt sometimes because of that.Īlso, it would be very nice if one could have one's mouse for free looking left+right+up+down without pressing the right button or using keyboard-which is slow.
#ASTELLIA AUTO LOOT WINDOWS#
It's very distracting and annoying to have that looting windows pop up in the middle of a fight. My other Alt is in another server, does that count? I just thought that with Auto Loot and/or Area Loot on, it means literally all items are automatically picked up, so one can sort it out later at leisure from their inventory window.
