![]() ![]() While fighting enemies players will slowly notice their ‘berserk bar’ filling up and when full can quite literally unleash the demon within. UNLEASH THE DEMON WITHINĭying in SRO will also cause you to lose experience, adding once again to the sever grind that players must endure, but the unique berserk system helps players re-acquire lost experience much faster than normal. Thus, players can technically level up their skills and weapons much faster than normal, but doing so will require a lot of grinding. Interestingly, players that choose not to spend their skill points will find that they will begin to accumulate much faster than before, although standard Level Experience accumulation will decrease in doing so. Skill Points are used to increase your ability in individual skills as weapon types, and must be accumulated separately. Once a new level has been achieved players are free to distribute stat points as they see fit, with 3 new points available per level. Level Experience works much the same as in all other MMOs, whereby killing enemies provides an increase in level and abilities. Put simply, there are two different types of experience in Silkroad Online, Level Experience and Skill Points. From what I could tell through the poorly translated text found in the quests – most of them simply asked you to grind some more, and offered little in the way of an appropriate reward.įortunately Silkroad Online includes several different systems that help to make grinding more interesting, the most noticeable being the different types of experience that can be gained, and the different ways they affect each other. But for those that prefer grind-style gaming, Silkroad Online should work out well. Having played Shaiya, Last Chaos, and Lineage 2 in the past – I’ve come to the conclusion that this playstyle is most definitely not for me. Silkroad Online is a very heavily grind-based MMORPG, meaning that you will spend the vast majority of your time playing killing random NPC monsters to gain in level. ![]() Not only is the tutorial greatly lacking in every way, but beginning the game without any form of introduction felt both abrupt, and unwelcome. Miss the quest giver like I did, and you’ll most likely be spending the next hour trying to find your way out of town. You begin playing Silkroad Online by being placed at the back end of an enormous town, with the only form of tutorial being offered through a series of poorly translated quests. Once you have finalized your character you will be faced with one of the most daunting experiences I have had in an MMO to date. Choosing Asian weapon mastery will give access to Bicheon Swordsmanship, Heuksal Spearmanship, and Pacheon Bowmanship, while force mastery allows choice between the Cold Force, Lightning Force, Fire Force, and Force Power classes. The Asian race choice is quite different, with on two tiers but several more calls options. The melee tier allows players to choose the Warrior and Rogue Classes, the caster tier Warlock and Wizard, and the buffer tier Bard and Cleric. Players that choose the European path will have access to three different tiers. A WEALTH OF OPPORTUNITYĪt later levels in the game players are able to select a class mastery with a pre-designed set of skills determined by both their race and weapon choices. ![]() The robust skill system however ensures that you will only be similar in appearance, as there are a lot of different class and weapon options. There is little in the way of actual character customization – a hugely disappointing aspect of Silkroad Online – meaning that many players will find doppelgangers roaming the world. Instead, you must choose both your preferred weapon and armor, such as swords and bows, or leather and mail. You begin playing Silkroad Online by choosing to play as either Asian or European, but unlike many other games, you do not choose your class. It was the foundation for the modern world as we know it, and is also a magnificent foundation for an MMO.Īs you might have already guessed, Silkroad Online is a game based on exactly this story – although as one might expect, there is actually little story involved. Many believe that the Silk Road was the sole reason as to why many civilizations, such as China, Egypt, Indian, Persia and Rome advanced as quickly as they did. In ancient times, more than a thousand years past, the trade route known as the Silk Road was used to transport not only silk, as its name would imply, but also food, gems, knowledge, and even disease between Asia and Europe. ![]()
