Jade Dynasty Gears up for World Championship Tourney

 

 

Perfect World Entertainment today unveiled their roster for Team Legacy, which will compete against nine other countries in the second annual Jade Dynasty Global PvP Tournament (August 20 – 22, 2011) taking place in Beijing, China. Players from around the world will be flown in to compete, in front of thousands of spectators, for the ultimate title of best Jade Dynasty PvP team as well as a share of thousands of dollars worth of prizes and customized virtual items.

 

“With a large number of international versions, Jade Dynasty is one of the most popular MMORPGs in the world with the size of its combined, active playerbase,” said Dean Sakurai, Product Manager for Jade Dynasty.  “The competition our team will face is truly the cream of the crop as each 25-person team is selected from applicant pools that number in upwards of hundreds of thousands of players.”

 

Seen as the underdog in last year’s world PvP tournament, Jade Dynasty’s team managed to pull several upsets to finish third place.  “Because no one expected our team to place, it was truly an honor for our team to stand on the podium and receive the Bronze Medal,” according to Sakurai.  “This year, we hope to best last year’s performance and go for Gold along with the highly coveted title of Best Jade Dynasty PvP Team in the World.”

Eudemons Edge of Night Expansion Review

Eudemons Edge of Night Expansion Review

By Remko Molenaar (Proxzor), OnRPG Journalist

 

 

 

Eudemons Online is a game developed by TQ Digital Entertainment. The playstyle behind it will immediately feel familiar for gamers that have tried TQ’s other flagship game, Conquer Online. As a free stunning Fantasy MMORPG, Eudemons Online combines a gorgeous western style with oriental aesthetic perspectives perfectly. Whether you choose to be a Warrior, Mage, Paladin, or the new Vampire class, there are over 100 distinctive Eudemons ready to assist you all along the epic adventure.

 

Eudemons Online is a game based around having pets. These pets are called Eudemons and will be your sidekick in the game. It is possible to have multiple Eudemons, however you can only summon one at a time. These Eudemons help buff you and assault your targets with a variety of customizable skills. All the Eudemons have an inherent race that plays an important factor depending on the environment you are in. The Eudemons  can acquire a level when their master levels up. They also gain levels by defeating monsters or through quests. The replayability  these Eudemons provide is not to be underestimated as a single Eudemon can change the way the whole game feels.

 

Edge of Night

Back in June Eudemons introduced an expansion known as the Edge of Night. Edge of Night brings a lot of new features in to the game such as brand new weapons, new Eudemons & mounts, new daily quests and new skills. Edge of Night also introduces the Vampire class. This class is a mythical being that lives by feeding on the life of other living creatures.

 

 

Vampire:

The Vampire can easily be called the best looking class in the game. Their facial appearance, gothic avatar and their seductive body are not the only good looking features. Equipped with their deadly sharp claws, they are able to hang in melee range with even Warriors in PvP. While the vampire is an expert duelist, they lack the kind of crowd control required to be a threat against a large group of enemies. The Vampire has target locking skills; these skills are known as the Shadowy Claw and Whirly Claw. These long lasting techniques will trap the target; causing them temporary paralysis and leaving them open for the vampire to do his job.

 

 

This class is known to have superhuman strength, immortality, and command over animals and demons, shape shifting and the ability to convert normal humans. The Vampire is also able to attain demonic wings. These wings allow them to temporarily increase their attack percentage for a period of time. Penetration is an important passive skill built into the Vampire. The skill Penetration will help the Vampire to directly attack your opponent’s health, regardless if they have Eudemons converged or not. This skill however activates automatically at random times so don’t count on it to save you.

 

 

The Vampire has its own ‘Ghost Horse’ mount. This mount has a unique look with deep royal blue flames surrounding the horse, leaving a trail of fire while it runs. Once the Blood Soul has reached Star Level 10, players are automatically able to use the skill “Soul Steed” from your Skill book. It doesn’t share any damage, but you will able to set this as your Acrobat in your Knights table. When the Blood Soul dances, it glides through the air and hops twice, leaving a trail of dark blue flames in its wake for an awe inspiring effect.

 

 

Conclusion:

Eudemons Online is a nice mixture between Pokemon and Digimon. The game itself has unique features to keep you entertained for a while and has a very fun PvP aspect. The expansion Edge of the Night has added a lot more Eudemons, skills and weapons in addition to the well designed and beautifully rendered vampire class. If you love rouge style professions but want a bit more magic and mayhem, this class will be a dream come true. All in all the Edge of Night expansion breathes new life into Eudemons while adding an extra layer of difficulty to PvP by forcing players to learn new counter tactics against vampires.  If you like to PvP, collect pets, and miss the top down Hack N Slash style of the 90s, Eudemons Online: Edge of Night is the game for you.

Starcraft 2: Journey to Diamond League Wk5

My Journey to Diamond League Week 5

By Mohammad Abubakr, OnRPG Journalist

 

 

 

If you missed any of the previous weeks in my journey to diamond league, check out the Starcraft II review section. (http://www.onrpg.com/MMO/Starcraft-II/reviews)

 

 

Week 5

Games played: 6

Initial Rank: Bronze – 7

Final Rank: Bronze – 3

Win/Loss: 5/1

 

The fifth week in my journey to diamond league was a busy one. I did not have a lot of free time because of work so I could not play a lot of games. Fortunately most of the games I played ended up as victories. With just six games, I managed to jump from rank 7 to rank 3 in my bronze division.

 

I enjoyed my first game of the week a lot because I got to try overlord drops for the very first time. At the beginning of the game, I continued to enhance my economy by producing a lot of drones and only producing defenses once I saw an attack coming. I feel I did a good job with scouting in this game as nothing came as a surprise. At one point I was sitting around his army with my burrowed roaches. The instant the tanks unsieged, they were done for.

 

In the late game, as my opponent’s army was advancing towards my base I loaded up a lot of overlords with roaches and flew to his base. Since his army was out of position, I managed to overrun his base. I cannot wait to try out baneling drops!

 

Surprise!


The next day I played against a Terran; Zerg vs. Terran is my best matchup. My opponent was not bad but he made the mistake of staying on two bases for far too long. Knowing this I continued to expand and eventually took a gold base. Although he managed to take out my main base’s lair, it did not matter because those resources were almost depleted. Since I had an economic lead I continued to send roaches, zerglings and infestors at him. The infestors made quick work of his marines while the Zerglings and roaches killed the tanks. He was forced to concede.

 

 

There goes your income!


The following game was the only loss of the week. I made sure to continuously scout my Protoss opponent but unfortunately I did not send my final overlord deep enough. He had a hidden starport near the edge of his base. I was not expecting air units and was forced to concede because I had no way to fight back.

 

The final ladder game of the week was against a Terran who loved to train marines. That was the only unit he made the entire game. My infestors loved it.

 

I also partook in an open SC2 tournament. I was not expecting to win but I signed up anyways because I thought it might provide good practice. My plan was to get my games casted so that I could get some feedback but unfortunately no casters were available.

 

My first match in the tournament was against a Terran. I was happy because this was my best matchup and was confident I could win. The terran was not a bad player and at times I thought I would have to concede. Fortunately my roaches, banelings and infestors were able to overrun his base. He had a good tank line but neural parasite turned it against him. I feel that if I did not research neural parasite, I would have lost the game.

 

I was knocked out when I played a Zerg on an unfamiliar map; GSL_Bel’Shir Beach. I had never played this map before so I did not know what to expect or what strategies to employ. To make it even worse, ZvZ is my worst matchup. I lost to a Zergling all in. After the match I found out that my opponent also hated ZvZ. His advice was to simply do a zergling all in. I do not know if I will do that because I like to play longer macro games.

 

I only managed to make it to the third round of the tournament.

 

 

My tournament bracket.


Tournament: Knocked out round 3. TvZ – W (Overran base with roaches, banelings and infestors) ZvZ – L (Zergling all-in)

 

I really wish I had more time to play SCII this week. Only playing six games does not help a lot towards my journey to diamond league. Next week the ladder will be unlocked, I refuse to get placed into bronze league again!
