Dragon Sky Closed Beta Testing is already started and as part of the effort by Aeria's Dragon Sky Game Masters, they put up a Q&A thread to provide everyone with a quick reference for some simple questions of the players may have about anything surrounding DragonSky and its release under Aeria Games. And also to give all the players an easy way to get their questions about DragonSky answered in a way that everyone can benefit. This is the First part of the Dragon Sky Q & A for the benefits of those who like to test out this game like all of my Filipino peers and gamer like me and those some who are too lazy to visit the Dragon Sky forum (just kiddin.)
Q&A courtesy of our Aeria's DragonSky GM Vert.
What is DragonSky?
DragonSky is an MMORPG set in Ancient China. Players must choose between the two opposing factions. The game features a Martial Arts combat system that evolves your gameplay as your character progresses throughout the game.
When will the game be released? / When can I play?
The tentative schedule is as follows:
Alpha: Currently ongoing
Closed Beta: Mid May
Open Beta: Late May
Release of Item Mall: Early June
This schedule is subject to change at any time. Players can gain access to our Beta Testing through our sign-up page which will be posted up when we get to that point. Access to our Closed Beta will be limited to Invitation Only. There will be one character wipe after Closed Beta, but not after our Open Beta. We are aiming for a full launch very soon, so please keep an eye on our forums and website for the newest updates.
Can you Duel other players in the game?
Yes, there will be dueling in the game. There is a whole dueling system in the game which effects your honor in the game. Winning a lot of duels can lead to winning some rare items and weapons.
What is PvP like in DragonSky?
There is the Dueling System explained above. And there are also organized Guild Vs Guild battles in game as well as Faction Vs Faction battles. There is also a Kill Order System in the game, which allows player to place bounties on other players. A player can claim the prize associated with the Kill Order once it has been carried out.
What are the character classes?
There are no classes, but there are different playstyle options based on the martial arts chosen.
Will the classes be restricted to a gender ?
No, classes are not restricted by gender. You might want to continue reading to see how the class system is replaced with other, similar systems.
Names and what types of weapons they use?
The different types of weapons include fist weapons, polearms, pendulums (gigantic maces), and swords. ( All dual weilds possible )
Are there different nations and different classes?
The 'nations' are based on faction. The two factions are the Dragon and the Tiger (Soul of the Dragon and Heart of the Tiger). The martial arts and weapon types are not limited by faction.
Are skills based on weapons only or class to?
Skills are based off of the martial arts chosen and method. The martial arts available generally depend on the weapon type. Skills are split into attack, defense, recovery, and common varieties.
Do you put points into skills while u lvl or do u lvl up skills by using them?
Dragon Sky has two different character development points. Experience points and skill points. Experience points help you level and increase your basic stats. Skill points help increase your proficiency in your skills. To learn most skills you must spend your skill points and a certain amount of money at a training NPC. Some advanced skills may require you to find the martial arts book first.
What are the strength and weaknesses of each class or pros and cons?
There are no classes, so I'll break it down into the weapon types.
Fists - very fast, close range weapons.
Polearms - fairly slow, medium range weapons. Polearms can hit multiple enemies in a single swing.
Maces - the slowest, hardest hitting weapons. Generally have lower damage per second due to interruption techniques. Can knock down/back and hit multiple enemies.
Swords - a balanced weapon that has moderate range, damage per second, and hit amounts.
How does the stat system work?
Attack, defense, hit, dodge, crit, and mind are the stats we've found so far. I do not know yet just how these are modified through the leveling system. I do know there are items that can modify the stats though.
Is there an advantage to be using dual weapons instead of single weapons? For example dual swords and single sword. What are some Pros and Cons?
There are basically 4 different types of weapons. Each with their own set of styles. For example: If you wish to use swords, you will have to study sword combat. Among the 5 different sword styles, 3 utilize combat with one sword, and 2 styles utilize combat with 2 swords. Each style of combat also has it's own stages of development, getting stronger and stronger as you improve (also more intense and elaborate animations). You can be well developed in fighting styles with 1 sword while really lacking in training with dual swords, and vice-versa.
I can't really go into detail as there are an infinite number of ways to go about weapon training and martial arts training with each character. But there are 5 fighting styles unique to each of the 4 different weapons. And each style has it's own stages of development. And each style carries it's own pros and cons.
How is the "class" balance in DragonSky?
Class balance is worked out in sort of a rock-paper-scissors way. Each weapon has a counter weapon which is very effective against it in combat. And at the same time, that same weapon has a weakness to another weapon.
Choosing a class at the character creation screen determines the fighting styles you have available at the beginning of the game. You can learn multiple styles while leveling up, or try to master one. You can be a jack of all trades, but a jack of all trades is a master of none.
