It's asian, tho I don't know specifically which. It's pretty old tho. I did the Tantra beta way back when and that's gotta be at least 3-4 years ago.
Well it's a little early to judge. What's running now is about 15% of the finished games. There's TONS of stuff to come. And it's very different. For one thing, it's infinitely expandable. There's gonna be monthly updates that'll add new classes, missions, gear, etc, etc, etc... You can also maintain a stable of as many different chars as you want.
I admit there's a bit of a lack of content, and it's obviously very buggy, but that's what "very early closed beta" means. Version 2.0 of the website is set to hit any time now, and open beta will be shortly after that, and open beta's gonna fill in the other 85%.
You can use dead chars as "nukes" for other chars if you want. That's pretty different. In the open-beta build, you'll also be able to bind those spirits to weapons. Each spirit does different things depending on its class, and the higher the level of the spirit, the more powerful it is. Considering you'll be able to bind up to 3 spirits to a weapon, that's gonna make for some VERY different stuff.
A lot of your complaints have been addressed too. For one, there'll be WASD control in-game, and the camera control is gonna be overhauled a bit too. I understand it's a little rough around the edges in its current form, but you have to look at the potential for the future, and it's definitely gonna be interesting.
I mean, there's gonna be new classes added all the time. How many games do that? The next two that're supposed to show up, aside from the 8 you can see in the CB build is a floating-eye creature and a fire-breathing slug-beast. Give it another look once open beta starts. You really won't have enough info to make a FAIR judgment on it till then. It may still not grab you, but at least then you'll be able to make an informed decision on a FINAL build instead of this just-out-of-alpha build.
New Playday/stress-test coming on the 20th. Participants will receive a Vanisher. That's one of the classes that's been unavailable till now. Keep an eye on the home page for details:
www.warriorepic.com
The closed beta server is still available, so you can still play on that till OB. Open beta's coming very soon. Gonna be a gigantic update.
Yeah, it's instanced, but who knows about the future? Maybe there'll be persistent maps too. Dunno. It's a game that's nearly infinitely expandable. And on the bright side, no worries about kill-stealing in an instance...
I can't wait for the open beta. All the locked classes will be available... Gobs of new content.
Yeah but you got Diablo 3 and Warrior Epic that're both very similar. Maybe they thought there was enough competition for that niche already.
