    The biggest joke about this news is that it's still on UE3 so performance is going to be trash once you get more than 10-20 ppl in an area.

    Is this another one of those games with no option to opt out of PvP ?

    On a side note in Korean dramaland Busan is where people go to disappear and get new identities or just to hide away from problems.

    Why did they change the name to that? It's so generic and forgettable.

    No idea on the name change,makes no sense,idk maybe something to do with their licensing contract.

    The game really seems to be a TERA reskin,added one new model,the fox like character and a gimmick they are banking on selling an average product>>>>flying.

    I can't stand lame gimmick like flying,where do those wings even come from,where do they go after flying because they are not there anymore.
    So yeah reskin,1 model,flying,barely even a TERA expansion but selling this reskin as a new game.

    So if i look at other expansions,sure 1 new race/model seems standard from almost all devs,sometimes we get 2.

    Has auto pathing to quest,again lame,seems they will NEVER understand immersion over there,the same game design over and over,doesn't anyone think outside their tiny box?

    There did seem to be one change but i am certain it is NOT Bluehole but a standard Unreal engine design and that is normal dodging instead of the lame ass somersaults i see in 99% of the games,so it got one thing right but not on their account.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Maybe a callback to Elleon from TERA.

    It's beyond better than that horrid, ridiculous original name.

    I remember criticizing the original name as soon as it was announced.

    Gonna bet "Ascent" is the title of some Anime, or Movie, and they had a clash with copyrights.

    Honestly I also thought the original name was horrible, too, but I think this is an absolutely terrible name for different reasons. I at least knew what Ascent: Infinite Realm was, and abbreviated it played off it's airship content so it made sense in that way. Naming this Elyon-Ascent: Infinite Realm makes an already bad name more atrocious, and if they drop the AiR portion of that title and just call it Elyon, then it just sounds like some random guys generic player character name while also stripping it of the title people have identified with it, however bad it is, for years.

    Given that there's almost no mention of the airship content anymore, I am curious if they are reducing the scope of the game by eliminating or vastly reducing it, and if so, this becomes far more generic than it was already looking to be. I just don't really understand this move at all. I understand switching up the combat system but that's about it.

    The name change is new to me. The action combat has been making the rumor rounds for a long time. Kinda sucks for me. I was hoping for their original concept of a tab-targeting steam punk MMO targeted at western audiences.

    Who cares about the name if the game can't be played.. It's still UE3.. the art looks awesome, but UE3 does not function well with MMO's.. Why invest time and money in a game that will be DOA.. Bless comes to mind, with all the bridges burned even the UE4 version it sounds like is not even complete..

    There are airships and mechs throughout the video. The game was always a traditional MMO where you would spend most of your time playing on solid ground. My impression was that airships would be like boats in ArcherAge. Important but not the main focus.

    Watching the video I was thinking 'this is looking better then the previous videos' until 07:01. There goes any immersion with the usual ridiculous outfits -_-
    Other then that I've also noticed the lack of any aircombat-footage as someone already mentioned and the fact they still use UE3 also leaves a bitter taste :-/

    The most important thing hasn't been changed.
    UE3 game is pretty much a DOA game in this day and age. Especially if it's an MMORPG.
    I'm not going to play an MMORPG that can't utilize my rig, having 20 FPS, just because it's using a more than decade old engine.
    I honestly don't understand what they're thinking...

    Probably is a game actually coded more than a decade ago, just getting a new skin and shoveled out the door.

    Elyon (Biblical Hebrew עליון; Masoretic ʿElyōn) is an epithet of the God of the Israelites in the Hebrew Bible. ʾĒl ʿElyōn is usually rendered in English as "God Most High", and similarly in the Septuagint as ὁ Θεός ὁ ὕψιστος ("God the highest").

    So is it Hebrew Fantasy Steampunk?
