Lineage eternal in anticipation of a miracle. First Korean CBT (CBT) Lineage Eternal - all available content. How to get a key in CBT? Description of mage abilities in Lineage Eternal

Everyone who has played at least a little MMORPG has probably heard of the Line (aka Lineage). This well-deserved network role-playing game was one of the most popular games in its genre - in 1998, at the time of the release of the first part, few could oppose anything to it. After, six years later, the second part came out, which brought fame to the series in the CIS countries (however, in our country it officially came out 4 years later than in Asians, already in 2008). For many years, fans of the series have been waiting for the next part, and now, in 2011, the developers showed the hungry people a gameplay video of the third part. It showed a lot of unusual decisions, the fans of the series were very inspired and began to patiently wait further. However, after 3 years, we were shown a new video, in which many interesting decisions were abolished. Is it so worthy new part our attention, or not? Let's find out!

Combat system in Lineage Eternal
Lineage Eternal reviewHaving a goal to create new possibilities MMORPG games, NCSoft has patented a unique combat system called Drag and Hold. It is implemented like this: for example, you hold down one of the mouse buttons and hold it in front of your character. Result: A wall of fire or ice appears. For a while, the enemies will not be able to break through to you. If you have enough energy to use an offensive spell, then quickly move the mouse around your character. As a result, those who fall within the radius of destruction take damage from fire, ice, spirits serving you, or other subject elements. If an enemy fighter is nearby, you can have time to grab him, and then, with a sharp movement of the mouse, throw him back into the pressing opponents. They will scatter, crushing each other.

The play area is full various subjects. With some of them you can interact to your advantage. For example, a heavy boulder with the help of telekinesis can be lifted by a mage and thrown at attackers.

The years spent developing Lineage 3 were not in vain. The promises of the developers were fully justified: even experienced players note the diversity and vastness of this game.

Classes in Lineage Eternal:

A careful Lineage Eternal review shows that the player has the following character classes to choose from:

Knight. Because this character is perfectly trained to fight with melee weapons and is wearing heavy armor - he feels confident in close combat. He has a battle hook that not only deals damage to enemies, but also pulls them under the blows of the blade. The same hook helps to get over the abysses, climb steep slopes and walls. Sometimes you can activate a magical shield that reflects arrows and increases armor. Directed attack mode is activated if while holding right click draw an arc near the knight. In the direction of this arc, the knight will rush, sweeping away everything in its path. If enemies are pressing from all sides, you can draw a circle, then the hero spins sharply, crushing nearby opponents.

Mag. He has several stances in his arsenal that allow him to either attack or move objects. This is how the Drag & Hold system is used in the mode - the player draws lines vertically or horizontally and fiery walls are formed along them. To freeze the monsters and crumble into pieces of ice, the "Wall of Fire" is applied. "Deadly Touch" forms a destructive series of lightning, which are controlled with the mouse. The "transport stance" uses the ability to use telekinesis and gravity. Enemies are lifted into the air and hurled a long distance. You can also throw boulders and logs at monsters or slow down attackers.

Spirit Hunter - he perfectly owns the bow, and also the spirits of people and animals, whom he calls to get even with the enemies, are subject to him. It is possible to use a "hail of arrows", which hits all monsters in the radius of the arrow's flight, but completely devastates the quiver. The Drag & Hold system allows you to create a powerful shot in a given direction, as well as an explosive shot that destroys the enemy’s shield. If you run out of arrows in the midst of a battle, you can replenish them with the help of spirit allies, but for a while the player becomes vulnerable, so you need to save ammunition. If an ally has a critical situation, then a spirit can be sent to help him.

PvP in Lineage Eternal
Those who like to fight against other players did not go unnoticed either: the video in Lineage Eternal demonstrates large-scale territories specially created for PvP. Like the classic Lineage, this MMORPG will feature sieges and a clan system.

In November 2011, the Russian-speaking community quietly languished in anticipation of TERA, Blade & Soul and ArcheAge, playing Lineage 2 and Aion along the way. Surprisingly, all these games are somehow connected with the famous company NCSOFT (XLGAMES and Bluehole were founded by people from NCSOFT). No one expected that in this unremarkable November, the Korean giant will announce its next locomotive project based on IP Lineage. The presentation of Lineage Eternal: Twilight Resistance was unexpected and impressive, but the hype in the Russian-speaking segment quickly subsided, as the flow of information dried up immediately after the demonstration at the G*Star exhibition.

About the game

Initially positioned as a sequel to the original Lineage, Lineage Eternal has been reworked several times before the launch of the public testing stages. NCSOFT ventured to show its achievements in early December 2016, when the first Korean CBT took place. Shown received a mixed reaction from the community, which closely followed the course of the PTA. But let's talk about everything in order.

The events take place 70 years after the events of the first part (it was originally planned that the action would unfold 200 years later). The game is based on a proprietary 3D engine with a fixed isometric camera (Quarter View, 2.5D). Lineage Eternal uses developments from NVIDIA, including technologies from the Nvidia Gameworks package.

Conceptually, Lineage Eternal is a traditional "theme park" MMORPG with a full set of standard entertainment and basic systems such as gathering, crafting and upgrading equipment. In the future, the developers promise to introduce fishing and home ownership. No sandbox elements were found during the first testing. The main activities in Lineage Eternal are typically "Lineage" farming mobs, quests and dungeons. The latter, by the way, are various kinds: solo, group and public with unlocked PvP. To increase replayability, some dungeons use the DDS (Dynamic Dungeon System) - dynamic generation, that is, the dungeon is randomly generated based on certain settings.

Characters and Hero System

An important innovation and difference from the classic representatives of the MMORPG genre, which became a big surprise and a bone of contention in the first beta, was the hero system. Yes, you heard right: heroes, not a hero. In fact, there is no main character in Lineage Eternal - instead, you have a team of several heroes (Eternals). Depending on the situation, you either control one character (for example, in normal activities), choosing what you want from the list of available ones on the fly (with a small cooldown), or lead a whole squad of four characters, when the player directly controls one character, and gives the other three AI commands (this mechanic can be used in solo dungeons and in dungeons where a group is required). The list of available heroes is large and will consist of several dozen by the time of release. Each of them has its own role, skills and attributes. Of course, there is also a pumping system, which includes both the unique development of each hero and the development of team features.

PvP

PvP has always played an important role in the Lineage series and Lineage Eternal is no exception. It is available in open world, but the final PvP/PK rules have not yet been determined - they will be balanced during closed tests. The developers also showed the arena (Field Of Honor), where players can fight in various formats, including 4 by 4. In addition, the guild system (Blood Pledge) and sieges are announced, reliable information on this moment no.

Editor and customization

Character customization, or rather its absence in CBT (except for the choice of several faces and hairstyles), also caused a number of complaints from the players. Apparently, instead of a powerful editor, players will be able to buy and farm "appearances" that migrated here straight from the MOBA genre. However, after the first beta, the developers promised to work on the character editor and expand the number of options.

Developers

In conclusion, I would like to say a few words about the development team, technical side project and timeline. A team of specialists is working on the game, which, according to the old tradition of NCSOFT, received a special name - Team Eternal (before that there were Team Bloodlust, Team Aion, etc.). At the end of 2014, the team had about 100 people, but over the past two years, its size has grown markedly (as hinted at by periodic announcements in the vacancies section of the NCSOFT website). This group is led by a person with vast experience - Development Director and Producer Jae Hyun Bae, who started working at NCSOFT during the creation of the first Lineage (was Producer and Development Director of Lineage - 1998-2001, Lineage 2 - 2001-2004, Blade & Soul - 2008-2011, Lineage Eternal - 2011-to this day).

release date

The game was canceled in May 2017. The developments on it were transferred to a new team working on Project TL (working title) - a new MMORPG of the Lineage series based on the Unreal Engine 4.

The new part of Lineage will be plot continuation the first part - the events in it take place in the same world 200 years later. The Dark Emperor took over the country with the help of countless hordes of orcs, all surrendered to his might, except for a handful of heroes who bravely challenged the hordes of darkness. Epic and colorful combat are present in abundance, as in many Asian MMORPGs. What is nice, it will be possible to play it on both PC and Android from the same account.

lineage 3 role system

You have to play as a hero of one of the five classes, unfortunately, at the time of the closed beta test, only the heroes of the human race were shown. So, we have a choice of 5 classes - mage, elementalist, archer-summoner, assassin and knight. Each of them has 8 basic skills, each of which can be developed in three different branches. There are also 4 upgrade levels for each skill line and one additional hero upgrade at the current max level of 50. Further, the character's parameters are divided into: attack (responsible for all types of damage), survivability (responsible for all protective characteristics), resources (determine the amount of life, mana and the rate of their regeneration), immunity (resistance to various negative influences). Directly combat system very similar to the counterpart in another Asian MMORPG Blade and soul.

Lineage 3 gear and loot

In the new Lineup, a hero can only equip the equipment that suits his class. At the time of CBT, there are 4 levels of item rarity (white, green, blue, and purple items). The latter have unique effects (for example, the purple Holy Sword sets fire to the enemy). As for armor and jewelry, it will be possible to dress and put on the hero in: a bib, boots, gloves, a helmet, 2 rings, 2 earrings and an amulet. Interestingly, all equipment will be tied to either PvP mode or PvE. Thus, you will have to have several sets of equipment for different occasions.

Line 3 co-op and raids

In the new part of the series, we are waiting for massive raids on bosses (some can only be demolished after the destruction of the stamina, and then the stock of lives themselves). The developers also promise beautiful and spectacular inter-clan battles with hundreds of participants at the same time. What about directly PvP (in other words, filling-muzzles-players), then it will be possible to fight in the arena in different modes - both in duel and 4 by 4. The world shown to us by the developers does not seem particularly large, but for convenience players will allow us to move not only on foot, but also with the help of teleports. This is logical, because the world is not seamless, but consists of separate zones, each of which can accommodate up to 500 players at once. Dungeons, that is, dungeons, are collected in them randomly, but according to certain algorithms - piece by piece.

Lineage Eternal release date in Russia

In April 2016, the third closed beta test of the game was planned, and later, in the same year, the OBT. The developers did not report any information about the exact release date of the novelty.

Lineage Eternal was not completely and irrevocably eliminated even after an unsuccessful CBT and a flurry of criticism. The developers transferred everything good that was in LE to Project TL, but transferred the game to the engine so that the graphics would meet modern requirements. Players are promised a beautiful picture, deep immersion in the gameplay, landscape and weather changes, destructible environments and realistic physics.

Items preserved in Project TL gameplay, for which millions of gamers fell in love: the merciless genocide of monsters, the clearing of dungeons and battles remained in place. The developers from worked hard to make the combat dynamic and the skills spectacular.

Project TL should still be taken as new game, not a rework of LE. So, initially, the developers planned to move away from MMORPG standards, in particular from class system. It was assumed that the player will not control one main character, but will have at his disposal a whole group of heroes, between which it will be possible to switch. Nevertheless, such an approach within the framework of the project was considered inappropriate and they decided to return to the classics of the genre.

NCsoft promises to launch the game on all platforms, including consoles and mobile, but the PC version is still a priority.

So soon The Lineage will rise from the ashes of the deceased Lineage Eternal - this is the name that the successor to the legendary series will wear, hence the TL in the working title of the project. The exact release date of the game is not yet known even to the developers themselves. In the second half of 2018, they plan to conduct an internal closed test, if the results are successful, we will have a chance to play The Lineage already in 2019.

April 16, 2013

On November 30, 2016, the first phase of the Lineage Eternal CBT started, access to which was given to a few lucky ones and a few representatives of major gaming sites. In anticipation of the upcoming test, the developers (the guys from NcSoft) provided us with information about the upcoming event (event), though in Korean. We have prepared a complete translation for you. But, for starters, I’ll immediately make a reservation for those who really want to get into the Korean CBT Lineage Eternal and are eager to find the key:

How to get a key in CBT (CBT) Lineage Eternal? How to get into the CBT?

The release date of Lineage Eternal has not yet been announced, and when the OBT will be also unknown. Therefore, all you have to do is watch numerous videos on the game on youtube or try to get into the CBT (CBT) test of Lineage Eternal, taking place in the Korean region, in order to play it yourself. In order to get into the CBT (Close Beta Test, abbr. CBT) Lineage Eternal, you will have to choose either to register an account under the Korean passport data that you need to specify during registration, and use it and proxy to register to participate in the beta and wait for the key to arrive , which may not come, or buy an account already authorized in the beta from the hands of the same Koreans.

Buying from the hands of a Lineage Eternal account: To get the key, you will have to search on various exchanges on the Internet for an already authorized account that an enterprising Korean sells for your use. Yes, there are “verified” resources, but in any case, you make all such purchases at your own peril and risk, because very often this most enterprising Korean after the sale, after some time, will write to the support service about the “supposedly stolen account” and it will be returned to him (this operation is called recall). He will do this to try to sell the same account again.

How to get passport data for registration in Lineage Eternal beta: you buy them all from the same Koreans, you can search for details of this operation on other resources on the Internet. Of all the data, you will be interested in the so-called KSSN (the unique "serial" number of each Korean citizen), which will be required from you when registering an account. The cost of passport data (as far as I know) is about $100. Again, you will do all this at your own peril and risk.

I would not recommend that you use any of the proposed methods, as the risk of fraud is high. I am sure that very soon the game will be tested in the European region, so I advise you to be patient, periodically warming up interest with various articles on the expected game, for example, on our website 😉

On the other hand, I bring to your attention a portion of the video to get acquainted with the party content - you can form your own opinion about the game:

Eternals in Lineage Eternal - who are they and how to open them?

The Eternals are our protagonists. Yes, in this game you will not have one single character that you will protect and cherish - you will have to lead a group of 4 eternals. Or rather, switch between them from time to time. Those who played Guild Wars 2 can imagine an analogue of elemental switching in an elementalist (Elementalist). Play as one hero (your base), then use the F1-F4 hotkeys to quickly switch between them. The current hero disappears and a timer appears (on this CBT it is ~20 seconds), during which you will not be able to switch back to the same hero. But that's only in the first couple of games. When entering various dungeons (for example, the Tower of Oman), you will control a squad of all four of your Eternals, simultaneously controlling one of them, and the computer will run after the rest (you can still switch between them). You will receive new Eternals as you level up and for special items.

I consider this game approach to be unsuccessful, because there will be no people in the game with unique classes necessary for passing content. “But what about the variety of set-ups game characters?!" - you ask. No matter how great the number of combinations game classes in your party, there will still be one most powerful set-up and all the rest or completely useless bundles of characters. And now, since there are no people playing for healers, tanks, dps (everyone plays for everyone), then these specific people will not be in demand, there is no need for strict cooperation and playing a specific role - the meaning of the MMO is lost and Lineage turns into Diablo, and everyone runs one and the same (or two or three maximum) different bundles of characters. This is how I see it, ahem, but we digress - back to CBT content.

At the character creation stage, I was asked to choose 2 Eternals from: Hector (tank, 2nd from the left in the picture above), the girl Jean (warlock), the elf archer Ophelia (5th from the left) and the elf damage Kai (3rd from the right). We are also offered to carry out their small customization (choose for each Eternal one of 3 types of appearance and one of 3 weapon skins). Upon reaching levels 20 and 30, you will unlock one more skin for your eternals. All other cosmetic improvements at this stage can only be obtained through the in-game store. When choosing our Eternals, we must prioritize which of them will be the first (main), and who will be the second. In the future, you will be able to open even more Eternals for selection in your squad. Their further pumping will be eating special yellow jars of experience that can be obtained in the passage of the rifts. The level of the Eternals cannot be higher than the level of your main character.

This is how the skills assigned to the right or left mouse buttons look like (only two of them can be used at the same time):

The beginning of the game Lineage Eternal. Overview - the first locations and events.

The story begins on the landscapes of the besieged fortress walls familiar to us from numerous trailers, during which we mow down the orcs approaching us from all sides. You can see this location at 2:50 of the following trailer:

Actually, this trailer briefly presents all the content available on the first PTA. So, armed with skills on RMB and LMB (right and left mouse buttons) and 20 frailties, we set off to knead the enemies and fight for justice!

As a result of moving along the plot, a dragon attacks us and freezes our character. In other words, in order to "freeze" we are forced to switch between the Eternals, thus imposing on us the need for such a setting.

This is what our character panel looks like:

On it you can see the mini-icons of the eternals and the name of their corresponding "switches" F1-F4, as well as the panel of lives and skills (skills).

Improving the weapons and skills of the Eternals in Lineage Eternal

In order to pump the skills of one of our Eternals, you will have to farm a little gems. At the moment, the following gems are available for farming (everything is simple here - a simple similar to Diablo 3):

From left to right: Ruby, Emerald, Topaz, Diamond, Amethyst

But we will not improve weapons with these stones, but our skills (skills). By the way, on the hero panel, which I cited above, you can see in the upper right corner of each skill the icon of the gem with which it is enchanted. The strength of this or that increase depends on the quality of the stone itself, which also varies. At the moment, the increase in the power of your character from high-quality stones is quite significant.

These stones are given to us as quest rewards or farmed in the Tower of Oman.

As for weapons, each Eternal owns his own type (sword, staff, brass knuckles ... In general, nothing unusual). Items in Lineage Eternal are divided into standard types by rarity: white (very common), green, blue (rare), purple (epic quality items), orange (legendary weapons). These colors are the names of the corresponding equipment. Items (at the time of the first CBT) are not tied to the character.

Before you create the necessary piece of equipment, you will need to make a list of the necessary ingredients for its production. You can get resources using gathering:


Also, to make it easier to find the right ingredients or earn income from the sale of various things, Lineage Eternal has an auction that can greatly help you in crafting. Buying the things you need from other players or putting your loot up for sale will make your life much easier. This is what the auction panel looks like:

So, having collected all the necessary ingredients, you can proceed directly to the creation of equipment or other useful things. This is what the craft panel looks like:

Available for you to create: equipment, jewelry, gems or consumables. You can access the crafting panel from the following NPCs:

• Blacksmith: creates such weapons as daggers, swords, maces, brass knuckles and from armor - plate armor and shields;
• Tailor: creates leather (for the archer / dager) and fabric (for the magician and healer) armor;
• Engraver: creates gems and jewelry (rings and earrings), as well as ranged weapons like bow/crossbow and magic arrows for them;
• Alchemist: Creates magical weapons (wand or staff) as well as potions/elixirs or runes.

Lineage Eternal locations - where to download?

Lineage Eternal currently features the following gaming locations for pumping at the appropriate levels:

1) Talking Island: Lv. 1-10; 2) Giran Lands: Lv. 11-20; 3) Conflict Zone: Lv. 21-30; 4) Battle for Aden: Lv. 31-35; 5 - Wasteland of Aden: lvl. 36+

As you level up, traditionally, you will meet NPCs from whom you can take quests. The set of tasks can be as follows:

• Main story line— it will give you access to the dungeons;
• regular quests kill X mobs;
• tasks with a timer (quests with a time limit) or automatically triggered (various events);
• killing a boss that can appear at a random point in the world or dungeon.

Dungeons (dungeons) in Lineage Eternal

There are currently 5 different dungeons available in the game:

• Tower of Insolence (TOI), 20 floors: Normal solo dungeon. It is also dynamic - each new entry in it will change the monsters and the landscape (a la Diablo);
• Forgotten Graveyard: dungeon for one to four players. Story dungeon;
• Labyrinth of Madness: dungeon for one to four players. Story dungeon;
• Taora's Living Room: A dungeon for one to four players. Story dungeon;
• Screaming Quarry: An epic dungeon with a maximum capacity of two hundred people. It generates random events(events). It is also possible to kill other players (PC) here.

Lineage Eternal has clan system(which is not surprising for any MMO). Anyone can create their own clan for 10,000 adena. If you were kicked out of the clan or you left it yourself, then for a certain time you will not be able to join a new clan.

That's all! Stay tuned for more news and guides for MMORPG Lineage Eternal!
