New L2 Hymn of the Soul video!

General Discussion Started Last reply 11 posts
A new game from the developers of the "Free to Play" system of Lineage 2. I wonder who is going to host the game if it hits state side? NCSoft West? yep.
I did like this video. If we look this is the engine what the game use and not a real cinematics. So compare to this I think the graphic is quite good. Maybe one day we will can play with this boosted graphic.

Not a new game but an L2 update that will go live in Korea tomorrow. The video shows an instanced raid from "The New Guardian of Astatine", live in Korea since January 14:

Ah, ok then. Just occurred to me. With content updates being 1 behind Korea's, you would think the bugs would have been worked out ahead of time. But then I realized that NCSoft West is working with a way smaller budget and therefore probably some guy who is underqualified at his job. Cheap labor means bigger bonuses for the cigar smoking mucketity mucks up in corporate.
nice video in my opinion

Oh don't get me wrong i like it too, but i was comparing it to NCsoft's older movies like this one for example:

Would love to see more in that quality :D
So, I went to @rochand and it's for real the Adolf that appears at the end of the videos, with the gloomy haunted eyes.

@Yidao, any idea of what that might mean? Maybe an upgrade to kartia system or smtg?
In "Hymn of the Soul" there are indeed changes to the Kartia Labyrinth. In the Party Kartia the number of attack waves will be reduced from 7 to 5, in the Solo Kartia from 7 to 3. And some of the monsters wll only be 2 levels higher than the entry level, instead of all 3 like right now (http://lineage2.power.plaync.com/wiki/%EC%B9%B4%EB%A5%B4%ED%8B%B0%EC%95%84%EC%9D%98+%EB% AF%B8%EA%B6%81#hd86606):

But the video is from "The New Guardian of Astatine", the previous update. Adolf has those gloomy haunted eyes because he and his comrades have been brainwashed during their captivity. In order to bring them to their senses you must repeatedly hit them. When you have thus reduced their HP to a certain degree, the reeducation process shows effect, the brainwashing wears off and one of them will help you in the final fight against Brigadier General Bernstein:

I love how Lineage 2 manages to shoehorn a story behind their recent cinematic teasers.
