No mmo have yet to capture the combat system of dragon nest yet for me since 2010. From super armors to counters, evasion and recovery unique to classes and the aerial combat which actually has gravity to it so you can't just attack nonstop in the air forever. Looks like they still maintain that and the iconic splash fx of the skills. I'll be following this games development closely because DN still holds a special place for me.
raiderz is the game with similar playstyle with dragon nest but unlike dn fast paced raiderz is slow paced game i remember the day i play it im beating the player who donate 50k to make his character strong he have all +9 armor and weapon but i only use lvl 1 weapon and +6 armor the beating took 10minutes hahaha good old time the game will be re release in 2023 but with better graphics

Dragon Nest is my first and beloved mmo game, can't wait for that new game to actually be the better version of Dragon Nest and not just for a couple of years but for sustainable decade or even more! Not gonna lie I will miss the original classes concepts of sorcerers, archer, cleric, mechanic, Kali and etc, bcs those character, even tho being sex locked, they had their own vibe and feeling and you was actually experiencing every class very much differently and unique.

Dragon Nest was the best MMO for be back then, with the abilities, synchronization/combination of skills and its dynamics made it unique. Hoping as well that I could experience that nostalgic effect and the thrill soon when I play this game. Best of Luck for Dragon Sword!!!
I'm an absolute DN fans, and even now I still played the PC version. It was like 5 months ago but still the soul is still lit. Basically because the combat is the most advanced for 2010 technology, perhaps even now. I can guarantee no games has combat like Dragon Nest which is very complex and intriguing.

Just looked at the combo, mid air fighting style, character skill and skill effect. It was all Dragon Nest accent. I will definitely wait and play once it launched officially.
This is so nostalgic after an 10 years I been playing this dragon nest..It's always the best rpg game I ever have when I was an kid Edit:(Omg thanks for the 22 likess everyone,I appreciated
as a former Dragonest player from Beta 2010 and played up to 2015, this brings back so much memories. im an Acrobat/Windwalker as my main and yes, i do love PVP in Dragon Nest and even mastering the iFrames alone gives me joy. looking at the trailer though, the combat is pretty similar to Dragon Nest but i do hope they add the combos,iFrames,cancels and such for another insane PVP gameplays.
@@thelostenderman-pinoyminec2827 it's short for 'Invincibility Frames' a brief moment where when you cast skills, you wont be affected by any other skills and it's damage. Acrobats have several skills with iFrames and using them during Dungeon runs and Nests vs using them during PVP is way harder since you need to predict the enemy skill if they are going to throw an initial skill for a combo and dodge that using iFrames or dodging a high damage skill.
I do prefer instance maps over open world only due to how limiting open world can be for multiple players as well as players with "weaker" pc/mobile phones. The combat look so far... I'm also a bit concerned because Dragon Nest have so much weight in its combat while this one feels light. Hope I'm wrong since the animations look really good and want one spritiual successor of a beloved classic mmo game to succeed.
Exactlyyyyyyy, so many players around it’s not fair, and lots of kill steal happens, so instance map is the best revolution to fix lots of problems, and you can have fun good comms with your teams wihout any distractions.
@@tigermafia6251 both have their cons and pros. I prefer open maps because you get to socialize way more, and most of my mmorpg friendships were made while questing/doing a dungeon and having a hard time then asking someone to team up. I played DN a bit when i was younger, made no friends in that game because people don't just walk up to you and say "hey wanna do this dungeon together?". Sure those "kill steals" happen, but the solution is simply shorter respawn times, or sharing the kill even if you didnt deal the finishing blow (similar to wow when youre in a party). As for players with weaker pcs struggling: im sorry but devs shouldnt make their games shittier just so a few more people can play. Its a company that wants money after all, and if those players cant afford a slightly better gpu then they wont invest any money into the game, so the devs dgaf
Things that made Dragon Nest magical for me: - PVP - the pvp system was off the hook, the many game modes and diferent terrains you had to master - Huge party boss fights - the major dungeons to farm materials for equipments required knowledge about room mechanics and party coordination, it required planning and understanding of each skills and characters - gorgeous dungeon designs - there were some dungeons that made me go wow and stop and stare - community based mechanics - there were some mechanics that required community interaction like getting a Rock of Blessing and selling buffs in front of dungeon gates for 50 gold haha If this manages to replicate that, I'll be down.
Ah i missed the Old days of Dragon Nest, all of my friend all telling me to become Barbarian Class from Warrior, said that it was the Strongest and then i discover Tempest Class from Archer, where you dont need Big Axe to deliver Heavy Damage and using 10% Archer Weapon since 90% of Tempest skill was Punching and Kicking, bassicly a class where Archer was a Black Belt Taekwondo 😂.
I love dragon nest. It was the 1st MMO I ever played. Even came back to playing from time to time after a year that I stopped since my classmates who introduced me to it had stopped playing it
Dragon remains to be one of my favorite RPG games. It was a gorgeous game with such a fun hack and slash and combo combat that harkened back to my roots in Devil May Cry. The story was compelling for me, the world was so beautifully crafted that I was just drawn in every time I logged into the game. I quit back in the day because I was a Sword Master main and no one would take me to the nests despite me building my buffs and some of my moonlord skills well enough to deal with mobs. Pretty much got buried by the meta but my memories of the game remain fond. I'm really stoked for Dragon Sword but I have this fear that it'll have gacha mechanics given how gacha games have been wildly popular recently, and I really dislike any randomized monetization system in my games.
Nostalgia hits hard with this one, Dragon Nest was a game with a combat system that was decades ahead of its time, fact is if you upgrade the graphics of Dragon Nest and retain the same combat mechanics and system it would be easily still be the best MMO in the 2020's and now if they turn this into an ARPG, this game would probably be the only game I'd say would probably rival or be even better than WuWa's combat
i been playing dragon nest like 8 years i think and until now i didnt find another game that can replace dragon nest, i think because its my first mmo?.. knowing this made me happy and looking forward on the release. Also omg theyre focusing on the story??? i was so excited about ittttt
u really bring back the nostalgia back to me, they were chanting genshin clone on FB groups but i thought it looks like a mixture of dragon nest + genshin impact + monster hunter, turns out it is from the dragon nest developer, now im excited
Holy shiet, that dn farm music was so nostalgic... i used to use up all my character slots in my account to farm for life essence while also sniping farming spots to plant apples of life lol. This made my account very rich at the time. I know its not really the main appeal of dragon nest but for me that was a memorable time.
BRO SAME LMAO, i be logging in to check on my life essence and race with people to get a spot in the free farm land to plant my resurrection apple then run to trading center lol
This is making me go back to dn and start over from a newbie to a pro where you just wait for a new update and help newbies and raid dungeons for loots from today ill download dn on my pc and start from a newbie again
I bet this would be looking like Genshin Impact rather than Dragon Nest that we loved so much, since it will be shared platform with mobiles, yea im not gonna surprise if skill buttons come up with 4buttons only just like genshin impact
Man, this brings back memories, The best combat for pvp, where i was used to only play pvp and ignoring all the gear update, just sit on colesium and challenge people
if this comes out in NA im down Dragon Nest was my favorite game for a long time, nothing came close. it played more like a fighting game and i loved that about it. managing I-frames and super armor vs armor breaks, learning combos, it was so in depth.
Seeing this update makes me legit want to cry purely because of nostalgia. Played this game non stop when I was in junior high, everyday after school. Never have I ever played a game with such an amazing god forbid mechanic for PVP, which can make you feel satisfied with every combo. I've been trying to find a replacement for that MMO vibe through Genshin, but still the PVP is what made DN so special to me. I really hope this system is kept in the new game. But to be very honest I was shocked to see how bad DN's graphic now, it was like something out of this world back in 2011! Dragon Nest Forever!
I remember that and experienced and expert sorceress as myself can dodge every boss attack by using the i-frame in their evasion. Ghooodd I miss those days 😂❤😢😅
Can say that dragon nest have great combat combo and action but for this new project not sure either they able to bring that unique along as it will be port with mobile market.
Have been playing DN since 2012 I think and this game was the only game I loved up until today. No other game has came close to it ever since. It was all thanks to its unique combat style and infinite combo system (if you're that good especially at PvP, I'm a Gladiator main btw). If I was a Game Developer and had the funds, I would buy DN, improve its graphics, DOWNGRADE ALL SKILLS TO 70cap coz that era of DN skills were still good and bearable HAHAHAHA, improve the gameplay but still maintain that solid and crisp combat/combo system, make it an open world + instance game by making a world where you can travel to the different towns and stage areas (with some monsters, mini boss or dg bosses out in the field) without teleporting but still maintaining those instances for special nests or dragon nests accessible to certain areas. Then get the game to progress by slowly expanding the map/terrain with new and breathtaking locations and new and exciting instances which still revolves around DN's storyline. So its like having DN but having a bigger and more open world but still have that experience to raid and play unique mobs/boss mechanics in nests whilst using that impeccable combat system of the original DN still (Toram Online has the gist of this kind of world its just that their instances makes you fight with the boss directly when u enter. TOF also has this its just their instances is not as exciting to me and its more on puzzle solving and make ur way through traps to get to the boss kinda experience for me). And ofc make it F2P friendly (except for costumes, im a developer in this example so PAY UP HAHAHAHAHA i need funds to run the game u know xD) and not progress to that awakening(spamming skills) era. Also, I would never add that fking character switch gacha system which I totally hate, coz for me such gameplay doesn't create a personal identity to the character you are trying to build and it doesn't promote teamwork especially in raids. Imagine raiding a dungeon with every other player having the same gacha character team builds with you ughh. Lastly, no more gender lock for all classes. Just sharing my opinion on how to improve or make a new game based on the game I loved so much for years. :3
DN's combat style is more heavy and fast, while Project D is heavy but slow. I do hope that they bring back Moonlord, Gladiator and Dark Avenger's skills since I grew up with them. The thing that worries me is my pc specs. I hope that Project D isn't that big to install and my pc can handle it.
You know, I wasn’t really paying attention to this video at first, and when he mentioned the “crystallized version of Uraya,” I looked over, and I kid you not, my first though was “I never thought there would ever be a Xenoblade/Pokemon crossover.” I have since rewatched the video and realized I need to start paying attention to things.
I've just returned to DN about almost a month now. I'm getting the hang of it after year and a half of not playing since my pc died. It's pretty much cool. Reason why I returned to play DN Sea: To see the improvements of the game while I was out, skill animations of 2nd-3rd awakening, new nests, and the story. It's pretty much an average improvement but I'm more focused on the story progress these days and did some interesting side quests that connected to the labyrinth problem. There wasn't any new place being created these days after Red Lotus Palace, I wanted some new places to be a chill out. The Developers aren't focusing on the story to even try to pace things up to meeting Alteia and Vestinel in face-to-face in the A Dream within a Dream.
Damn. I miss DN so much. I played a ton when they opened the NA servers, stopped playing right before Desert Dragon was released. As much as I love this game, it was soooo monetized. You needed cash items on so much things like inventory space, bank space, item protection when upgrading(jellies), unbinding items so you can post it on the market, mounts, damn even sending world/server messages needed that bird cash item. Correct me if I'm wrong, certain items are character bound so you cant just pass em on to your ALT characters. Like, if you have extra bag space item you cant pass or mounts. I hope this game would be a little less like that. Also the whole multi character, alt ridden accounts is such an outdated MMORPG thing. I like what Blue Protocol or Albion is doing with their classes instead of having to create multiple characters, you just have to switch weapons and its a different class. Much more streamlined, fluid and you can enjoy anytime without the need of starting the quest all over again, going through the same story you already did to your 3 different characters.
Great job on this vid, Dragons Nest is one of my all time favorite games, i loved everything about it. Specially when people took it to private servers and created their own spin. WOW so much fun!.
The way that i saw this thumbnail and gasped so hard☹️🥹 Ngl the one aspect that made me attracted to dragon nest in the first place was the class specialization and free skill configuration, it made my character feel special to me, bc i can adjust my own combos even tho the combo isnt meta nor effective, but its MY combo so it feels personal, if this new game doesnt offer those stuff its still a “genshin copy” in a way. Because classes are good and all but class specialization are just superior in all way.
I'm excited since Dragon's Nest is the game that i played throughout the Senior High School years. I hope they don't have battle pass and fomo inducing elements, i miss playing & having fun in online game on my own pace.
Dragon Nest still has the best combat system, it's still very nice to play even in 2023 Please don't try to be or compete with Genshin, the new DN has to be different.
I really like the pve aspect of dragon nest, but what made me stay and loved the game was the pvp, I hope they retain the style and smoothness of the pvp (talking about it with low ping of course) ALSO PLS NO GENDER LOCK PLS 😅
Damm, I liked this game so much, was so sad when the servers caught fire, even though it was already running on backup servers for years at that point. Rly miss it though. Magic Warrior and Acrobat where my favs...
Good to know this information, i played Dragon Nest for over a year but soon i dropped cause there was no updates or improvement, knowing this im hyped.
monhun and dragon nest is like my first and second love to MMORPG now i get more and more excited to this project, i hope they dont greedy to make a big difference on P2W and F2P player (if it free) and focus on PC gameplay/ feature because i dont really like many mobile game feature on MMORPG
So hyped for this game man. Dragon Nest was amazing and no MMO has been able to recapture that combat of it. Tempest and Destroyer were my favorite classes to play in ANY MMO from that game. Excited to see what this game will bring. Also: a SCYTHE wielding priest??? I’ve never seen ANY MMO make a Scythe based class this will be a first for me. Seems like they’re making up for the lost opportunity of having Lencea’s 2nd branch being a Scythe specialist as opposed to using a Lance/Spear. Really hoping this game can be healthy competition for Genshin Impact as I believe both games can coexist perfectly.
I can't see the better mmorpg than dragon nest,they have a nice character with unique skill and you can do a combo,the pvp is also good for those who want a challenge,and also the PVE mode is the best with a lot of dungeon and bosses
A RUclipsr named Mtashed just said that this game's sounds and assets are a copy of Genshin. I really just went facepalm at this dumbass. I am sure the sounds are from the goblins of dragon nest and not from hilichurls cause we know Dragon Nest came first before Mihoyo started making Genshin. He also stated that the goblin's base is the same as the hilichurls when in fact, it is the original design of the goblin towers of DN. I do notice that ideas from ToF like the underwater exploration were added but I know it was just to expand the world of Dragon Nest. As a former DN player myself, I always thought how an open world DN would look like and this news brought a smile on my face. I just hate the people who downgrades this project cause it's "Genshin Copy". At the very least, we don't tell this game as a 'Genshin Killer' for we (DN players) know this was a project to satisfy us who wanted an open world Dragon Nest. I just hate the fact that this is how upgraded games of old will be received by the "kids" who play Genshin just because it's open world and have anime-like aesthetics. Worst, some RUclipsrs propagate this news without an ounce of research and just tell their thousands or millions of followers that that is this and this is that from the little information they have. I hope this game will last for a very long time just to show these idiots that NOT ALL open-world games are a GENSHIN COPY.
I'm concerned about grindfests and the storyline. Plenty of times you were locked from doing things for constantly being low level despite questing for hours or each storyline had you going to x for y to do some crumbs of storyline before you're back to dungeon crawling again. Doing this multiple times for chain quests was kinda what stopped me from playing. I'm not in game development, but I hope they reach a better balance of story and fighting for this one, it looks beautiful to me so far.
It looks neat, but I'll tone down my excitement just because you mentioned Garena and Mobile. While the skills does has DN flare to it, It's hard to imagine a mobile game would come close to the amount of abilities and combo per class in Dragon Nest. When most mobile RPG/MMORPG only has 3 to 4 skills per character as the norm. Wary of Garena because they were extremely Predatory with how they handled Riot IP, that Riot severed ties with them because Garena were massively hindering the games growth in South East Asia with their management.
I feel like I manifested this bc GOD was I missing the Dragon Nest kind of gameplay. I felt like Genshin slightly scratched the itch but I felt the fights in dragon nest to be really engaging and fun. This game has all my support I just hope it actually launches and will hope it does well!

i been playing dragon nest like 8 years i think and until now i didnt find another game that can replace dragon nest, i think because its my first mmo?.. knowing this made me happy and looking forward on the release. Also omg theyre focusing on the story??? i was so excited about ittttt
u really bring back the nostalgia back to me, they were chanting genshin clone on FB groups but i thought it looks like a mixture of dragon nest + genshin impact + monster hunter, turns out it is from the dragon nest developer, now im excited
Bro I love Dragon Nest! I would even sneak out of my boarding school to play it at a near pc cafe for hours.
Holy shiet, that dn farm music was so nostalgic... i used to use up all my character slots in my account to farm for life essence while also sniping farming spots to plant apples of life lol. This made my account very rich at the time. I know its not really the main appeal of dragon nest but for me that was a memorable time.
BRO SAME LMAO, i be logging in to check on my life essence and race with people to get a spot in the free farm land to plant my resurrection apple then run to trading center lol
Oh, this game brings a lot of memories from way back then. I used to be a big fan of this and now trying the roller skating world of metarollers.
This is making me go back to dn and start over from a newbie to a pro where you just wait for a new update and help newbies and raid dungeons for loots from today ill download dn on my pc and start from a newbie again
I still remember playing Dragon Nest on my toaster with a friend from Korea...good times, and this spiritual successor looks sick
That Howl skill so iconic to dragon nest
*Cast [Battle Howl]
god as someone that played Dragon Nest back in 2012 I HOPE this turns out well
I bet this would be looking like Genshin Impact rather than Dragon Nest that we loved so much, since it will be shared platform with mobiles, yea im not gonna surprise if skill buttons come up with 4buttons only just like genshin impact
Man, this brings back memories,
The best combat for pvp, where i was used to only play pvp and ignoring all the gear update, just sit on colesium and challenge people
if this comes out in NA im down Dragon Nest was my favorite game for a long time, nothing came close.
it played more like a fighting game and i loved that about it. managing I-frames and super armor vs armor breaks, learning combos, it was so in depth.
Seeing this update makes me legit want to cry purely because of nostalgia. Played this game non stop when I was in junior high, everyday after school. Never have I ever played a game with such an amazing god forbid mechanic for PVP, which can make you feel satisfied with every combo.
I've been trying to find a replacement for that MMO vibe through Genshin, but still the PVP is what made DN so special to me. I really hope this system is kept in the new game. But to be very honest I was shocked to see how bad DN's graphic now, it was like something out of this world back in 2011!
Dragon Nest Forever!
dragon nest had great art, music, story (at least until 70 cap) and amazing combat, i really hope this project gets somewhere i really want to play it
good point
I remember that and experienced and expert sorceress as myself can dodge every boss attack by using the i-frame in their evasion. Ghooodd I miss those days 😂❤😢😅
I was a Physician before… Loved this game.
@2:22 Did I hear that right? A scythe wielding priest class??
I'm sold.
Those days were pretty fun, looking forward for this 🙂
Can say that dragon nest have great combat combo and action but for this new project not sure either they able to bring that unique along as it will be port with mobile market.
I remember watching the 1st dragon nest movie back in 2015, anybody else remembers too?
Have been playing DN since 2012 I think and this game was the only game I loved up until today. No other game has came close to it ever since. It was all thanks to its unique combat style and infinite combo system (if you're that good especially at PvP, I'm a Gladiator main btw).
If I was a Game Developer and had the funds, I would buy DN, improve its graphics, DOWNGRADE ALL SKILLS TO 70cap coz that era of DN skills were still good and bearable HAHAHAHA, improve the gameplay but still maintain that solid and crisp combat/combo system, make it an open world + instance game by making a world where you can travel to the different towns and stage areas (with some monsters, mini boss or dg bosses out in the field) without teleporting but still maintaining those instances for special nests or dragon nests accessible to certain areas. Then get the game to progress by slowly expanding the map/terrain with new and breathtaking locations and new and exciting instances which still revolves around DN's storyline. So its like having DN but having a bigger and more open world but still have that experience to raid and play unique mobs/boss mechanics in nests whilst using that impeccable combat system of the original DN still (Toram Online has the gist of this kind of world its just that their instances makes you fight with the boss directly when u enter. TOF also has this its just their instances is not as exciting to me and its more on puzzle solving and make ur way through traps to get to the boss kinda experience for me). And ofc make it F2P friendly (except for costumes, im a developer in this example so PAY UP HAHAHAHAHA i need funds to run the game u know xD) and not progress to that awakening(spamming skills) era. Also, I would never add that fking character switch gacha system which I totally hate, coz for me such gameplay doesn't create a personal identity to the character you are trying to build and it doesn't promote teamwork especially in raids. Imagine raiding a dungeon with every other player having the same gacha character team builds with you ughh. Lastly, no more gender lock for all classes. Just sharing my opinion on how to improve or make a new game based on the game I loved so much for years. :3
Flyann hitting me with all my favorite childhood nostalgia! Goddamn, loved Dragon Nest!
The nostalgia is coming back to me. Hoping this game gave a thrill the same we get from Dragon Nest ❤
My brother & I absolutely loved Dragons Nest. This is great to see!
i remember when this game came out is so freaking engaging and damn wind walker combo is so cool
DN's combat style is more heavy and fast, while Project D is heavy but slow. I do hope that they bring back Moonlord, Gladiator and Dark Avenger's skills since I grew up with them.
The thing that worries me is my pc specs. I hope that Project D isn't that big to install and my pc can handle it.
If the team behind Hundred Soul is on the project, then we can expect insane combo combat like dmc(-ish)
I just want a summoner class like the old Gear Master where you can just leave your tower and they stay there for quite a while.
You know, I wasn’t really paying attention to this video at first, and when he mentioned the “crystallized version of Uraya,” I looked over, and I kid you not, my first though was “I never thought there would ever be a Xenoblade/Pokemon crossover.”
I have since rewatched the video and realized I need to start paying attention to things.
I've just returned to DN about almost a month now. I'm getting the hang of it after year and a half of not playing since my pc died. It's pretty much cool.
Reason why I returned to play DN Sea: To see the improvements of the game while I was out, skill animations of 2nd-3rd awakening, new nests, and the story. It's pretty much an average improvement but I'm more focused on the story progress these days and did some interesting side quests that connected to the labyrinth problem. There wasn't any new place being created these days after Red Lotus Palace, I wanted some new places to be a chill out. The Developers aren't focusing on the story to even try to pace things up to meeting Alteia and Vestinel in face-to-face in the A Dream within a Dream.
Damn. I miss DN so much. I played a ton when they opened the NA servers, stopped playing right before Desert Dragon was released. As much as I love this game, it was soooo monetized. You needed cash items on so much things like inventory space, bank space, item protection when upgrading(jellies), unbinding items so you can post it on the market, mounts, damn even sending world/server messages needed that bird cash item. Correct me if I'm wrong, certain items are character bound so you cant just pass em on to your ALT characters. Like, if you have extra bag space item you cant pass or mounts. I hope this game would be a little less like that. Also the whole multi character, alt ridden accounts is such an outdated MMORPG thing. I like what Blue Protocol or Albion is doing with their classes instead of having to create multiple characters, you just have to switch weapons and its a different class. Much more streamlined, fluid and you can enjoy anytime without the need of starting the quest all over again, going through the same story you already did to your 3 different characters.
Great job on this vid, Dragons Nest is one of my all time favorite games, i loved everything about it. Specially when people took it to private servers and created their own spin. WOW so much fun!.
The way that i saw this thumbnail and gasped so hard☹️🥹
Ngl the one aspect that made me attracted to dragon nest in the first place was the class specialization and free skill configuration, it made my character feel special to me, bc i can adjust my own combos even tho the combo isnt meta nor effective, but its MY combo so it feels personal, if this new game doesnt offer those stuff its still a “genshin copy” in a way. Because classes are good and all but class specialization are just superior in all way.
I'm excited since Dragon's Nest is the game that i played throughout the Senior High School years. I hope they don't have battle pass and fomo inducing elements, i miss playing & having fun in online game on my own pace.
constantly coming back to dragonnest because I just miss how fun it was and still is imo. Excited for this new chapter in its life.
Dragon Nest still has the best combat system, it's still very nice to play even in 2023
Please don't try to be or compete with Genshin, the new DN has to be different.
Dragon nest has one of the coolest and best combat systems ever. I can’t wait for them to drop this one!!
I really like the pve aspect of dragon nest, but what made me stay and loved the game was the pvp, I hope they retain the style and smoothness of the pvp (talking about it with low ping of course) ALSO PLS NO GENDER LOCK PLS 😅
I loved dragon nest. Played it solo for hours thinking it was dead. So glad this is coming.
Dragon Nest was insanely good. Let's just hope the monetization won't fuck the new one up as it did with the old one
Been waiting for this to happen! Been a fan of dragon nest since back in 2010. Excited and hope to see more info about this.
dragon nest will always have a special place in my heart
Not the Calderock Village BGM 😭😭😭😭😭😭 made me flashback
Damm, I liked this game so much, was so sad when the servers caught fire, even though it was already running on backup servers for years at that point.
Rly miss it though. Magic Warrior and Acrobat where my favs...
Good to know this information, i played Dragon Nest for over a year but soon i dropped cause there was no updates or improvement, knowing this im hyped.
monhun and dragon nest is like my first and second love to MMORPG now i get more and more excited to this project, i hope they dont greedy to make a big difference on P2W and F2P player (if it free) and focus on PC gameplay/ feature because i dont really like many mobile game feature on MMORPG
Please don't be gatcha, please don't be gatcha, please don't be gatcha, please don't be gatcha, please don't be gatcha
The combat looks very smooth. I definitely keep my eyes on this one
I screamed out loud when I saw the title of this video - please, PLEASEEE
So hyped for this game man. Dragon Nest was amazing and no MMO has been able to recapture that combat of it.
Tempest and Destroyer were my favorite classes to play in ANY MMO from that game. Excited to see what this game will bring.
Also: a SCYTHE wielding priest??? I’ve never seen ANY MMO make a Scythe based class this will be a first for me. Seems like they’re making up for the lost opportunity of having Lencea’s 2nd branch being a Scythe specialist as opposed to using a Lance/Spear.
Really hoping this game can be healthy competition for Genshin Impact as I believe both games can coexist perfectly.
Dang, I had totally forgotten about Dragon Nest. I don't remember how far I got into that game, but I do recall enjoying it.
holy, I used to play a lot of dragon nest in computer cafes back when I was a kid. This will bring back some memories
I hope I'm still alive when this is released.
I look forward to executing the aerial combos with my Windwalker again
I played during my college years. So nostalgic.
Dragon nest was never gone. We are still playing SEA SERVER until now since it was released. We are on cap95 now and on 3rd awakening.
i missed dragon nest man. im so happy with this reveal.
I loved hundred soul! My channel still has old vids from its late game.
This has got to be one of the games ever made once it comes out
I can't see the better mmorpg than dragon nest,they have a nice character with unique skill and you can do a combo,the pvp is also good for those who want a challenge,and also the PVE mode is the best with a lot of dungeon and bosses
That Sophia Painting from Xenogears behind you looks insane
A RUclipsr named Mtashed just said that this game's sounds and assets are a copy of Genshin. I really just went facepalm at this dumbass. I am sure the sounds are from the goblins of dragon nest and not from hilichurls cause we know Dragon Nest came first before Mihoyo started making Genshin. He also stated that the goblin's base is the same as the hilichurls when in fact, it is the original design of the goblin towers of DN.
I do notice that ideas from ToF like the underwater exploration were added but I know it was just to expand the world of Dragon Nest. As a former DN player myself, I always thought how an open world DN would look like and this news brought a smile on my face. I just hate the people who downgrades this project cause it's "Genshin Copy". At the very least, we don't tell this game as a 'Genshin Killer' for we (DN players) know this was a project to satisfy us who wanted an open world Dragon Nest.
I just hate the fact that this is how upgraded games of old will be received by the "kids" who play Genshin just because it's open world and have anime-like aesthetics. Worst, some RUclipsrs propagate this news without an ounce of research and just tell their thousands or millions of followers that that is this and this is that from the little information they have. I hope this game will last for a very long time just to show these idiots that NOT ALL open-world games are a GENSHIN COPY.
I'm concerned about grindfests and the storyline. Plenty of times you were locked from doing things for constantly being low level despite questing for hours or each storyline had you going to x for y to do some crumbs of storyline before you're back to dungeon crawling again. Doing this multiple times for chain quests was kinda what stopped me from playing. I'm not in game development, but I hope they reach a better balance of story and fighting for this one, it looks beautiful to me so far.
It's korean so I think it might be still heavely based on grind.
I was too young for Dragon Nest originally, but this looks really interesting...
I will surely try to explore this game. Been playing DNSea until now since 40CAP HAHAHAHA Love this game
I hope they put the skill rotation thingy cuz that's what the dragon nest are best at.
It looks neat, but I'll tone down my excitement just because you mentioned Garena and Mobile.
While the skills does has DN flare to it, It's hard to imagine a mobile game would come close to the amount of abilities and combo per class in Dragon Nest.
When most mobile RPG/MMORPG only has 3 to 4 skills per character as the norm.
Wary of Garena because they were extremely Predatory with how they handled Riot IP, that Riot severed ties with them because Garena were massively hindering the games growth in South East Asia with their management.
as an old Dragon Nest player, this put a smile on my face
The 'mounting' combat reminds me so much of Dragons Dogma
up to this date no one else comes close to Dragon nest's combat system, especially the PVP, i wish this new one can capture it
im playing dn sea right now, so happy, more skill, and very happy for waiting dragonnsword, new genre for how to play dragonnest
I feel like I manifested this bc GOD was I missing the Dragon Nest kind of gameplay.
I felt like Genshin slightly scratched the itch but I felt the fights in dragon nest to be really engaging and fun. This game has all my support I just hope it actually launches and will hope it does well!
I'm actually excited for this. Dragon Nest was one of the few mmo that made me play it for YEARS
same
This plucked my heartstrings. I literally started crying! I'm overwhelmed. I'm happy and can't wait.
I can't wait to sit in a pvp room with toxic players(Warriors) talking about how OP they are and then losing to an Archer or Sorceress. OH Nostalgia!
dragon nest still is my favorite mmorpg till this day the combat system was just ahead of its time
