本作繼承了 PC 線上遊戲《天堂》的正統性,並以「世界性(Worldwide)」為概念,將天堂核心內容「戰鬥」擴張到全世界的最新作。遊戲的美術風格將改成更趨近「暗黑奇幻」的寫實風格,並透過不同特效大幅強化戰鬥時的打擊感。另外,遊戲採全球同一伺服器,並會利用「AI 翻譯技術」來消除玩家間的語言隔閡,實現真正的「全球戰鬥社群」。
Lineage W
What I Like:
1. It features really well the original Lineage game including sound effects, monsters, maps, and items...etc. Which is nostalgic and brings back so much memory.
2. It’s a game very friendly for those players who don’t want to spend money or just a little bit. (Of course, if you play casually and don’t mind being weaker in the game.)
3. The game has a rather convenient built-in automation system. All you have to do is moderate and interrupt only when it’s necessary, which makes the gameplay casual.
What Could Be Better:
1. This game is very much a pay-to-win game. You basically won’t be able to obtain Epic transformations and magic dolls unless you’re super lucky or if you spend much money on it. Even a Unique one is not easy to acquire.
2. The item drop rates including some of the materials are so low. You’ll need to be patient or again if you’re blessed with good luck to get one. You’ll need to farm A LOT in normal gameplay for what you want.
3. There are many cheaters who use unlawful plug-ins to automate their characters and win them more advantages on farming efficiency. Also, the workshop issue has negatively impacted the environment by monopolizing certain items or materials for crafting. The publisher NCSoft is slow and passive in dealing with both of them.
4. Many players are complaining about its queuing issue. While some servers are extremely popular (usually of those which have streamers playing in), it is crazy hard to log in to the game because of the hours-long queues.
In summary, I think that this game is not perfect and it actually needs more tweaks than anticipated. If you treat it like an idle or a casual game then you’re fine, you can experience the original Lineage vibe and the excitement of becoming stronger over time. But if you’re a competitive gamer, be minded that you will need to spend a fortune before starting to enjoy the game.
