If you were asked to choose a game to invest in, would the universe-themed MMORPG made by the founder of World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, Diablo III, and Hearthstone make your heart beat a few more times? This article is about some of the experience of the Ringing Finger Guild during the alpha3 test. I hope that I can join you in the future.

Introduction

As a Web3 MMORPG game, it has excellent graphics, gameplay as the core, and integrates web3 features so that the value of all the time and effort invested can be retained. In the game, you start as the pilot of a small spaceship and explore a new world for mankind. Here, you will experience fierce and interesting space battles, explore mysterious pirate strongholds, and visit magnificent interstellar mines.

Game Map

Press M to see the world map. You can find your current unknown on the map. Now you can visit OIKOS, PLESIOS, ETHOS, GEROS, ICRO, a total of five star systems, to view the planets and their satellites in these star systems. I believe that with the in-depth development of the game, the maps available for players to choose will be richer, and there will be more resources and hidden benefits waiting for players to explore.

OIKOS currently has open maps such as Titan Port (Base), Big Mine (Mining), Haunted Land (Pirates), etc.

Spacecraft and weapons

Players can replace and modify their own spaceships at the port. The spaceships in the game are divided into warships, mining ships, and exploration ships. Each ship has different characteristics, attack power, and operating feel. By adding different weapons and other components, you can personalize and modify the spaceship to cope with different game scenarios.

You can open the dock interface through the dock manager to change or manage ships.

Spaceship

T0: The Gray Fox is not usually used, can carry few weapons, and is replaced by T1

T1: The spaceship executor has the most balanced values, can carry three weapons, and has good speed, agility, and attack power. It has more advantages when competing for resources.

T2: The Humpback Whale is more powerful than T1, but it has difficulty turning and poor agility, putting it at a disadvantage when grabbing resources.

T3: The spaceship Fasl is widely used because it can carry four weapons. Although it has the largest mass and the slowest movement, it relies not on the spacecraft itself but on the turret, which also greatly increases its It is flexible, has the widest attack range, and can also be equipped with exclusive high-power weapons.

Mining Ship: There is only one at this stage. The laser cutter equipped can cause high damage to the ore. Using a mining ship to collect ore will cause more damage to the ore and produce more ore than other ships. The quality of mining items is also divided into Shadowstone Debris, Shadowstone Flakes, and Shadowstone Crystal.

Exploration ship: It has not been opened yet at this stage, and will be gradually unveiled in future development.

Weapons

Quality: There are three qualities of weapons: white quality (normal), green quality (uncommon), and blue quality (special). Compared with other qualities, blue quality weapons generally have higher damage and are lighter.

Matching: The combination of weapons can be selected according to your own needs and the number of weapons that can be carried by the spacecraft, including defensive shields, instant high-damage lasers, missile launchers, mortars, rail guns, etc. When choosing weapons, you must also calculate whether they meet the power requirements. The higher the attack, the higher the power consumption. If the power exceeds the power provided by the power equipment, it cannot be carried.

Acquisition channels: Weapons can be obtained by completing main quests and getting dropped by pirates. Currently, most special weapons are obtained by defeating pirates.

Gameplay

Main quests and side quests

Save Titan Port

Players who come to Oikos for the first time will follow the guidance of Commander Morgan to fight against the pirates who invade the military base and crush the pirates' plan to invade the spaceport. The number of main quests currently open in the game is small but rich in content. The tasks include assisting civilians, annihilating pirates, and finding lost weapons and equipment. It is more about letting players get familiar with the game operation, and the rewards are also very generous. Not only medical robots and weapons and equipment, but also 5 Lumicores with a total value of 50 ORB will be obtained for lottery after clearing the main quest.

Haunted Mansion

Engineer Hop is alone in the corridor sulking, help Hop solve the nightmare that haunts him. Explore the haunted land, discover the pirates' secret base, defeat the pirate elite, and find the decisive evidence for Hop.

In the haunted land, we have a chance to get rewards from pirates. When the distance is close enough, the words "C interaction" will appear in the lower right corner of the interface. Long press C to get dropped rewards, including weapons and equipment, medical robots and Lumicore, but the items you get may be picked up by others (it is recommended to exchange for T1 with high agility or T3 with instant burst and instant kill ability)

Gold Rush

A Maya merchant asks you to help find rare ore materials. You are ready to go to the largest local mine to look for clues. In the mine, you will meet an old acquaintance Jack. Under Jack's guidance, the player will learn how to use a laser cutter to collect ore.

Mining requires switching to a mining ship with a cutter or a T3 with high burst. Only by causing high damage to the ore will there be a chance to get dropped items, but the mining ship will have a higher collection efficiency. With the same firepower, a mining ship with a mining gun will do more damage to the ore, and the probability of dropping materials will be higher. You can find these ores in the big mines, and replace the mining ship with a laser cutter through the dockmaster at the port. The Shadowstone Debris, Shadowstone Flakes, and Shadowstone Crystal dropped by mining have a chance to drop Lumicore when the ore collection is completed.

PVP

The game has updated the PvP matching mode, including smaller-scale 5vs5 and 10vs10 battles that can quickly assemble rooms. In addition, there is a 20vs20 large battlefield mode that can be participated in through Discord invitation.

In Titan Port, press Ctrl to call out the cursor, and then click the banner on the right side of the screen to select the participation mode. In PvP, players will occasionally drop Lumicore items as rewards when they defeat their opponents, so don't forget to pick them up.

Before playing pvp, you must remember to go to the dock to change your ship, because you cannot exit and change ships during the pvp activity during the test period! Once you choose the wrong ship, such as driving a mining ship into the pvp battlefield, you can only act as an atmosphere group, give away fewer heads, and encourage teammates to wait for the end of the game;

When it comes to choosing a ship, T3 is highly recommended. Because it is a testing period, players can freely choose ships of all levels (except for the commemorative ones). T3 is the most powerful ship in the current version, with high burst and high damage. The AOE components it carries, combined with shields and short jumps, are the first choice in the current pvp mode.

Finally, when choosing the pvp mode, the 5v5 mode is recommended, because the pvp activity does not support exiting in the middle. When the personnel are not fully matched, you can only watch everyone's spaceships while waiting. The matching speed of the 5v5 mode is obviously faster than that of the 10v10 mode.
