Rusty Hearts vs. Dragon Nest

Dragonnest feels more complete to me. Rusty seems 1 dimensional.

 

But RH is still in closed beta. There's so much more content on the way.

 

Dragon Nest wont be out of OB til the 26th, and whatever the Korean version gets all the others will follow with some original content too I'm sure.

 

I play dragon nest. And i have to say i hate it a lot. I love the gaming style and everything but i hate the fact of having 3 capped characters and a 22 Character.

and btw: I still hang out with friends to

 

Why do you still play dragon nest if you hate it?

 

I personally like RH because it being an anime style game. The gameplay is fun too, the combos. I've played Dragon Nest Chinese but I got bored of it after a while, the environment isn't as fun as RH.

Just my opinion.

 

I'm sure RH has a lvl cap too with it still being in CB, abd DN will be rasing the cap to 32 soon as well as introducing new character(s).

 

DN already got it's first update today, PvP and Minotaur Nest Dungeon!

 

That's been out for a few weeks now, unless they tweaked them both since then.

 

Im talking about SEA version

 

Yeah. Just in time for the weekend. Haha. I have something to play later. Woot woot. By the way, was the level cap increased?

 

No, that will happen in next big update.

 

The SEA version of DN is behind the Nexon version?

 

Yes, maybe 10 days behind

 

Because it was released later and probably because Nexon likes to favor Americans

 

Okay as you can tell by my name, RH is way better.

I played Dragon Nest because I had played Vindictus before its release and loved it because of the actual action style. I enjoyed DN at first only because it had special attacks that Vindictus lacked.

I started to get a little bored of DN but still played it, until I joined RH in its second phase of closed beta. Now I've deleted DN because I never see myself going back, for these reasons.

1: Dodge sucks
2: Being bounced sucks
3: Jump is worthless, literally makes you go completely vertical and that's it
4: Has special attacks, but very slow gameplay
5: Lack of skill (may be action type, but you're really just spamming skills again; PvP was a complete let down)(The only block you get is as a Cleric, and it's a buff.)
6: Go through 8 loading screens to get to the dungeon you want to go to (why make fields if it's still instanced dungeons?)

Now there is one incredible plus to DN: I've never seen such good voice work on any other MMO to date; it's funny and the voices are done extremely well, beating even most console games.

Now here's the thing with RH:

What DN did with voices RH did with the story, which is more important in my book, the story is great. I personally like the way the main characters interact with each other. (now this plus is more opinion based, many couldn't give a damn about an MMO's story, they just wanna play.)

--The gameplay's both fast AND has special attacks!

--Everyone can dodge without waiting 3-6 seconds.

--This game implements actual skill (uses the perfect block, which is when you block with correct timing you either reflect ranged attack if it's ranged or stagger your opponent and can deliver a counter attack; everyone can block.)

--Player-Owned Houses, but this isn't really worth noting from me, at least in Closed Beta, because all I know it does is provide storage. But if they're saying that then we'll probably be able to expand them later.

--The more important bosses are actual bosses; there's more to them than just whack, dodge/block, whack again like Vindictus or just spamming skills like DN.

--Faster response in combat (Ex: rolling off the ground takes about 2 years in DN, much faster and no longer annoying in RH.)

--PvP is actually fun, and it's only in Closed Beta! Skill is implemented, perfect blocks, dodges, not that annoying spam/hold that DN has; and Vindictus, which could have some pretty fun PvP, doesn't have it (those crappy duels don't count.) Think Smash Bros, just not side-scrolled.

PvP Modes already:
Deathmatch: Team-Brawl! Most kills at the end wins.
Survivor (Solo): Last man standing.
Survivor (Team): Last team standing.
Leader: Kill the enemy team's King!
Tag-Team: 1v1 Tekken-type Team Matches where the winner restores a little HP and goes on to fight the next opponent, until one team runs out.

Now a few cons:

(Whether it's a con depends on the person: ) No voices outside of battle, but that's fine by me. I play a lot of Final Fantasy and Zelda, which most of them you were reading the whole thing anyway.
(Just remember that no voices are better than crappy voices.)

No camera turning while in dungeons, but you all should know that much if you're posting your opinion on which is better. Now you can turn the camera freely in town. It's not half as bad as it may sound.


No customization at character selection (now this is followed by a pro: there are two separate equipment sets, your actual equipment which is purely stats, and your costume equipment which is pure looks. This isn't the pay-to-get costume stuff either, you make it in-game. This means you get to wear the stuff that's coolest to you without the worry of the equipment sucking. Your weapon is an exception though.)

That's about it. Considering the content to come, this is definitely my favorite action MMO so far, with Vindictus at second, and DN at a very very distant third. Haven't played any other action MMOs, except a few side scrollers, but I'd put those in a different category anyway.

 

wow seriously dragon nest.... tsk tsk

 

well thought out post! the argument for rusty hearts just got stronger.

 

Would be fun if this would also be the final of the MMORPG Showdown
