Elyon Closed Beta Test Stumbles Out Of The Gate, Beta Will Be Extended 'Accordingly' Per Developers | MMORPG.com
Look, it's no secret that betas don't always start the best. Issues typically abound when cramming thousands of eager players into a new game right away. Elyon's beta test, which kicked off this morning, has been no different.

Does no one do any lessons learned? Is there no best practices? Are people just too cheap to buy adequate bandwidth? I really don't get it and I honestly think it is unacceptable, no matter what stage a company is testing.
With that said, I did manage to log in for a solid 2 hours before I got bored. This is a Tera clone. Nothing more, nothing less. If you liked Tera, you might enjoy this.
I personally was hoping for more so I won't be touching this piece of hot garbage again.
Funny you said that. A few people on discord were all "goodbye Tera, hello Elyon". I guess they are happy. It's not a terrible game, and one of the better Korean MMOs, just not excellent in any way.

This helped, thanks!
It seems the only gimmick this game has that appears to inrigue msot players is the skill system with the nice touch of adding in a window that shows how th skill works.I have seen that idea used before but it is still a nice touch.
What turned me off and happens in a LOT of games is just dotting down npc's any old place for you to click on them.
In 2020 moving forward i want to see a MUCH better effort with npc's,i am tired of seeing stationary trigger targets for quests or as a trainer.They should move about and NOT be in the same place 24/7,they should mildly somewhat appear to have a life of their own and not just stationary targets to click.
Game design almost always seems rushed,get down the basics and call it a mmorpg.I need to see quality,i want to see the developer cares about their product and not just a game whipped together to make money.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I get where you're going with that. It does make the game feel more 'lived in' when shops and stuff at least have 'business hours' like FFXI. Want that item? Either wait/buy it on AH/or farm it. But today's player seems to think stuff like that is just 'padding' and 'adds nothing to the game.'
long time this didn't happened..
so...
ok, there's a lot of F and auto path, that right...
so i adventured out of the road and... surprise! i found some little mini game very funny (white cat, turtle race etc), i used to fish for alchemy and meet some strange monster (someone made me run away very fast).
for the story, as a beta, i skipped all
pvp? if you dont skip some side mission, you'll encounter some ppl from the other faction trying to grind the same mob as you and... let go pvp!
my first combat was good, 2 vs 3, really enjoyable and not so fast as BDO per exemple.
skill? there's a lot of combinaison to be "sort of unique" but i'm sure meta will burn the honey moon.
reward and enhancement are like BDO. (for the part i see, rng involved.
now, what part of casshop will ruin all this little universe?
so, for me, it's a sensation of "deja vu" but it works!
i'm just lvl 32 now, taking my time
chat is surprisly friendly (there's no block as i see or i miss it)
would i return in: YES!
and for tera ppl, you surely have some memory issue (not the PC, the brain), it's really different!
a little + for the music, there's some nice moment!
hint: rush the 20 first lvl, read carefully about enhance and gems!
Ah pvp is forced and not toggle?
