Lineage Eternal Twilight Resistance has been in Korea Beta for two days and the first gameplay videos are available. We have collected the first impressions of some beta testers here and show, among other things, how the system with multiple characters looks in action.
Lineage Eternal Twilight Resistance aims to combine the action role-playing gameplay of Diablo 3 with MMO mechanics like SWTOR or World of Warcraft. In addition, there are other features such as the much-discussed party system, where you have up to four heroes available. The first videos from beta testers from Korea show how all of this looks in the game.
First Two – Character Creation in Lineage Eternal
The first video from the Korea Beta comes from the YouTube channel Aimix 888 and shows the beginning of Lineage Eternal. Interesting detail: Even though up to four heroes can later find a place in your group, you initially only have the choice between two. And you must first select them from just four heroes: Tank Hector, Sorceress Jin, Elf Archer Ophelia, and Assassin Kai. The remaining 9 characters and the additional character slots in the party have to be earned first.
The characters in Lineage Eternal are predefined personalities with backgrounds and names, but you can still customize these guys and gals a bit. For example, you can change the heads and hairstyles as well as the weapons. Hector can have a square tower shield or a wedge-shaped model. Once the heroes are customized and confirmed, the action begins, and you will be thrown into a siege battle. There you beat opponents in classic Diablo style, and in the end, even a dragon appears.
Cool detail: Once Warrior Hector is affected by a control effect and frozen, the player switches to Elf Ophelia without losing time and shakes off the CC effect. However, a cooldown prevents this from happening too often. Thus, the switch must be weighed carefully.
Alone with Four – In the Dungeon with Your Own 4-Person Party
As we have already reported, only one hero from our four-person team is active. The other three remain invisible in the background. This is not the case in the solo instance “Tower of Insolence.” Here, you actually have all four heroes at once, and the three non-actively controlled heroes are represented by the AI. This way, Lineage Eternal simulates a complete group, allowing you to grind the solo instance adequately.
How all of this works can be seen in the embedded video from Steparu. The player regularly switches between Assassin Kai, Sniper Aeire, Mage Jin, and Ice Wizard Freya, depending on whether he currently needs fast melee DPS, ranged damage, control effects, or damage over time. Meanwhile, the other three characters happily use their skills and independently decimate opponents.
What do you think about the current gameplay of Lineage Eternal Twilight Resistance? And what do you think about the fact that apparently in certain instances you can indeed have the entire party as AI companions, while in the rest of the game world you cannot?
