Elf Online Close Beta Review

ELF Online in close beta but that doesn’t stop you from enjoying a cartoon humorous MMO.
Players are able to change into four interesting professions; Rover who is quick and nimble and acute, Soldier who has high defense and HP, Magician has strong individual attack ability and scholar who can revive the deceased and recover his and other’s HP.

Players are able to catch hundreds of different pets with 5 different attributes that can help them fight. Instead of using a pokeball, try using some special bait to catch them. Pets not only have physical attacks but players have the options to use Skill Stones to add magic and skills for their pets. Pets can even heal players.

You shouldn’t take your pets for granted. They’ll ran off somewhere or even peck you in battle if you don’t treat them well. Be sure to feed them some yummy treats like Biscuits or Canned Duck meat to show them you care.

Low on HP or MP? This game is loaded with a wide selection of foods to choice from. Does your character prefer Delicious Fast Food or Plum Juice? They can even use a Deep Blue Blood Bag to recover 250 HP.

Dreamt about being a cook or making your own armor? Want to harvest some crops or shoot some mice for meat? Players have the option to obtain cooking skills. Instead of buying food from the Npc why not make your own food. Mine some ore and start your own blacksmith shop.

Tons of quests to complete, many towns and maps to visit. You won’t run out of things to do.

Voyage Century (http://vc.igg.com) team has prepared this strategy for players, which will make it easy to challenge the boss in Hurricane Island.

First Floor: Mine Cave of Hurricane Island
Entry Requirement: Hurricane Island Map
BOSS: Taskmaster Rowan
Game Guide for BOSS Fight
When your team is in the battle, 2 players who have high defense and dodge should be the tanks, and they need to manage the hate of the boss. After 5~10s when you attack boss, he will use 3 skills in turn to attack players, players should pay attention to the Rowan Blow skill which will stun players, when one of the two tanks is stunned, the other tank need to manage the hate of the boss and let him attack yourself, because the stunned player can’t use potions to heal himself. In a normal state the boss has less attack power than his attendants, so during this phase, the key point is to control your HP. When the boss’s HP descends to a certain proportion, he will be in a crazy state, and his power will be greatly improved. Players need to open the additional attributes on your equipment to increase your power, and then you only need to wait and keep fighting.

The Second Floor: Lizard Cave
Entry Requirement: Defeat the boss on first floor, and the entrance to second floor will appear.
BOSS: Lizardman Lense.
Game Guide for BOSS Fight
Players should try to defeat the boss as soon as possible, because he will summon some attendants every 30s when his HP is less than 2/3. 1 tank should go to attack the boss directly, and 1 player should use the Soul of Sabre skill, if you still can’t beat the 10 attendants, you’d better open the additional attributes on your equipment to fight against them. When you defeat all the attendants, you should focus your attack on the boss right away. You should also keep some Soul of Sabre skills in reserve to deal with any more attendants.

The Third Floor: Cliff Valley
Entry Requirement: Kill the 2nd floor boss, Lense, and the entrance to third floor will appear.
BOSS: Barbarian Chieftain Patty
Game Guide for BOSS Fight
The boss in third floor is more powerful, and players need all the necessary items to challenge this boss. We suggest players should buy some advanced items in the Item Mall such as High-level First-aid kits and High-Level Healing Potions. There should be some players who have at least 10 thousand HP, 1200 defense, 410 dodge on your team.

The Fourth Floor: Ancient Grave
Entry Requirements: Finish the “Key to Grave” quest and the NPC Claude will give you the key to the grave, and then your team can enter the Ancient Grave.
BOSS: The Leader of the Grave Robbers, Dante.
Game Guide for BOSS Fight
At very beginning, he has ordinary power, so players can defeat him easily, but when he becomes the skeleton, his power will be improved greatly and he can use Armor Broken and Paralysis. If you are cursed by the Armor Broken, you should use Holy Medicine to dispel the effect, otherwise, you will probably be hurt with 3000 damage when he attacks you. During the battle all players need to manage the hate of the boss, so the boss will attack all players in turn, and consequently players will suffer less damage. Tank tactics are not feasible against this boss, if all players have good equipment, 2~3 players can endure the attack from the boss. If the boss keeps attacking one player, he needs to run, and other players need to manage the hate of the boss by attacking him. When the boss uses Paralysis, and you don’t have enough HP, you’d better open all skill functions that can help you. By repeating this, the boss will die sooner or later.

It has been in testing for over two months, and now, it’s ready to go live! Yes, that’s right. The ever popular PC-to-mobile and vice-versa, 2.5D MMORPG, Shadow of Legend is going into Open Beta on Tuesday, December 18th! Mark your calendars, because we invite YOU, your friends, your family, your neighbors, that new kid at school, and your pet monkey… okay, maybe not the monkey, to come and test drive the new version of Shadow of Legend: Darkness of the Underworld!

In Shadow of Legend Open Beta, the game has been redesigned, and new features have been added. Not only will registration be a jiffy, but you will get to experience (1) diverse differences among the races, (2) expanded maps and challenges, (3) fun activities throughout the course of the day, and last but not least (4) a criminal system under the PVP mode. Below, you will find short descriptions of these new features:

1. Differences among the races include differences in their skills. Two types of skills will be given to each race, and each skill can be strengthened to higher levels the more you work on them.

2. Expanded maps and challenges will make the world of Agnes vaster than it was before. The Monstrous Rest, the Abundant Forest, and the Terrified Swamp are new areas that are waiting to be explored, and their inhabitants are waiting to be discovered.

3. We’ve already given you a taste of new activities to come with the Mushroom Cultivating event. Now, there will be even more activities, which will be just as fun and exciting, such as the Sand Beach Tortoise and the Magic Box.

4. The criminal system under the PVP mode is going to cause a lot of trouble and a whole lot of fun. Trouble and fun are two dangerous ingredients that will result in… God knows what. This time, players in your camp will have the ability to injure, and even kill you. No one from your camp can be trusted, especially if they’ve been bribed or coerced into traitorous actions. Yet, as you will find out, bad deeds will not go unpunished, and it will be up to your camp to exact justice.

To end your 2007 year in a bang, we at SmartCell Technology, would like to invite you to experience Shadow of Legend Open Beta. We hope that by experiencing the new design and the new features of the Open Beta version that you can get a good idea and a sweet taste of things to come. Do enjoy it, and we look forward to seeing you again in 2008. Happy Holidays from SmartCell.
