Raiderz Online
Raiderz Online an Open-world Hunting MMORPG published by Perfect World Entertainment has started it's Closed Beta phase this August 8 until August 29, 2012.
Finally! It's been five months, five months waiting for this Monster hunter-like online game to go live again. This game totally rocks even since it was on Alpha beta on March 14th. Probably one of the most perfect game(ofcourse, it's published by PWE!) that I have played on that was still on BETA phase.
Raiderz features a responsive "real-time battle game system" in which you need to perfectly time your skill and dodge or evade the attacks by your enemies.Yes dude, you can dodge, but that doesn't mean you can dodge the whole time(lol).Like any other game Dodging consumes your SP(the yellow bar) as well as Guarding with your weapon (right-click action). The Energy(the blue bar) or more popularly know as MP is not much to be dealt with especially when you're a Defender or Berzerker. Except if you want to go hybrid where you can get skills from other Class skill tree (like heal from the Cleric skill Tree).
I don't recommend going for Hybrid since you won't have enough skill points to get the high level skills if you spend it on another Class skill tree.
Raiding dungeons
"Wait, you said this game is an open-world MMORPG, why is there a dungeon?" Surprised? This game has instanced based dungeons so groups of players or a "Party" can hunt boss seperately from other parties. You don't wanna hunt boss with other Parties right? You'll be fighting for the loot in that case.
Basically, dungeon raids in this game is not that easy. Finding a target, spamming your skills... No! You don't do it that way. Boss mobs hit hard so be prudent! Perfect timing is needed and full cooperation is a must with your teammates.
I had really enjoyed this game. Though I struggled sometimes. One of the hardest Boss I've fighted so far is the boss in Mutated Garden(repeatable quest). First-time run I went there took me almost 1 hour! And my teammate really got pissed that time-- dying like 4 times and burning my HP potions just to survive. Two things I've learned when going for a firs-time run in boss raids is to go with a player who is very knowledgeable on that dungeon so he can guide you through... And observe closely of the Boss' animation so you can predict when would it be safe to attack and when to stay away.
Raiderz also features Classless Advancement system to let players customize their battle style by choosing from more than 350 skills.
Furthermore they added new things this Close Beta for us to enjoy by increasing the level cap to level 30, new zones to explore and a new social feature which allows you to craft your own guitar to buff allies or to blow enemies away with it. Good news for Rakistas like me!
