So, recently, I have been Game hunting A LOT (I should be job hunting. lol) and I came across this amazing game. I don't like most Client MMORPG's, but this one takes the cake:

ElSword

Try it before you comment. I want honest opinions about the game itself and not the genre or weather its client or browser.

Thanks,

Elsword is pretty addicting, once you really get into hand with the game. There seems to be a lot of updates happening recently, so that will also a lot more diversity in game play. 

I did try the game a while long ago actually, but I still get constant email updates lol. I do not play it anymore, since I feel I have had enough of it, and I really do not have the time to play anymore. 

I would really recommend this game to people who have not tried it yet...it is pretty fast-paced, and will probably get a little addicting. 

Sidewinder : Honestly, I'm Addicted. One of the reasons I HAVE NOT been on this site for a while. I LOVE this game. I just don't like how you have to wait for like 10 days to delete your character. Its not fair. But other than that, I love the co-op game play, the graphics, the skill sets, and the bosses. There are SO many items you get in the game. I'm already level 19 and I just started this game like two weeks ago. ADDICTION! HELP ME! LOL!

There was a time when I was really addicted to that game.
It is really fast-paced and you can easily get to level 20-25 in a day, but it's co-op it's really enjoyable and if you're looking for rare loops you're forced to co-op (more people on the party, higher drop rate). Lately they have been revamping and updating the game a lot making the playing area a lot bigger, adding more branches to the class tree of each character and a lot more, but stil I don't feel they have have balanced PvP, even tough they have done a good job giving other characters a "class" to be usable in PvP but is not enough.

Elsword is a really enjoyable experience if you're looking for a casual online game and/or hardcore game, but hardcore gamer will really hate that you spend stamina (you get 100 every day) while doing certain activties (EX: playing dungeons alone or in a party, but alone spend more stamina) and if you spend all of it you'll need to wait until the next day to play or use another character...

Anyways, I really recommend it without a doubt.

Gauken : Is that what Willpower is? I didn't know that. I always saw it decrease but never knew how to increase it. LOL. Wow. Sounds like that IS a restriction of the game. 

Emoteen134

emoteen134 : yes, it's sort of a restriction. In the first place to avoid hardcore gamers to archieve max level in a day or farming all day and second to make you play with more people, since you spend less willpower/stamina while playing in a party in dungeons, I'm not really sure if that includes the world map but I know it only depletes while you're in a zone with monster, not in a city.

Anyways, if you're farming for rare items you need four people in your party because you get 2x drop rate, three players I think is 1.5x drop rate or something like that.

There's a potion to replenish your willpower/stamina but as you can assume, you get it from special events (very rare) or buy it with cash.

by the way, what character are you using?

Gauken : Wow. I don't have the money for Cash right now, so I don't think I will be playing as much.

Characters: Eve (Code: Electra) and Aisha (High Magician) both level 24. I'm at the Basma (sp?) right now. I'm taking a break from it though. I need to. I'm neglecting other things. LOL

Emoteen134

emoteen134 : I think you men Berthma , Code Electra was really op compared to the other branches (because of it quickness and easy combos) but Code Nemesis really pack a punch. Aishas are really annoying in PvP, but lovable if you have them on your team, I really like the high magician.

the last time I played I left my account with:
Eve (Code Nemesis) lvl46 or 47
Chung (Deadly Chaser) Lvl 41 

I'm just waiting for Ara to be released on the US server :3 , and maybe then I'll come back and play again...

Gauken : ElSword's Sister? I know, Koreans get everything before anyone else. Sucks. LOL.

I made another character, Raven, but I thought he would be a good character, but now I'm kind of bummed. No real special attacks. Other than the Nasod arm, not much. 

I'm going to use Chung when I get Raven deleted. Toting that large cannon with ease, I love that. But Chung's later class changes look like girls (Tranny?).

Emoteen134

emoteen134 : Chung started to look like a girl when you promote him into a Fury Guardian. 

mariowin13 : Why did they have to make Chung Male? It would have been so much easier to make him Female. LOL

Honestly I didn't like Elsword very much,I felt it was too easy and repetitive.I loved the combat system and thought it was very creative however that doesn't stop the fact that it was too easy.I only got to lvl 30 but I just couldn't play it anymore.
