   pure skill for pvp
   great interaction
   great gameplay
   cute graphic but not cheap
   good system ( Dungeon, Nest, then Raid )
   interesting classes
   a guy before me said there's only 6-7 skills is stupid noob
   he clearly doesnt play this game, in dragon nest you can use a lot of skills based on your level ( i my self need 2 tabsof skills, 10 skills per tab )
   the gameplay and battle with monster have its mechanic which is very great
   i played this game for years and what i love the most about this game is
   THE STORY
   if you follow the main quest, MAN the story is the best off all MMORPG can give to you..
   not mainstream like "this side, war with this side", "this kingdom attacked, you need to save it"
   no, its more complicated and a lot of mystery
   the story is so awesome, they made a movie of it.. google it, dragon nest 1 and 2 movie, dawn of something i forgot
   but despite my great admiration of this game i cant give 10 out of 10 because in my country the game master of this game is money thirst pig.. more money you got, the stronger you are.. but still the difference can be outcomed by your skills and style of play and teamwork which i experienced myself for a long time.. i manage to win a lot of event with my party with decent equip, beats the player who gone crazy with their money.. that's why i believe in other country this game is totally balanced..
   
   thankyou, and yes.. play this game.. its awesome..… Expand

   This game is relatively unique among MMOs (and probably was the first or second action combo-oriented MMO). Combat is very intuitive with different handling difficulty depending on the character you pick, and very fast paced without never being reduced to a button smasher. Paying attention to your enemies animations and reactions to attacks as well as your surroundings it's just as vital to survive as learning how your own character plays. Each character class' gameplay is unique enough to guarantee you will have fun trying each one of them.
   
   For how limited the graphics are the visuals are gorgeous, and most of the soundtrack while nothing exceptional it's entertaining and fulfills it's purpose of keeping you engaged on the combat.
   
   There are a lot of game modes for PvE and PvP. Quests, level up rewards, the achievement system, feats system and npc friendship are very rewarding (you can get both in-game and cash shop items through this). One of the big surprises of this game is how carefully crafted the story and characters are, with such complexity that you often only see in offline/solo games.
   
   Unfortunately, for an MMO it is not as exciting to play in party, instead the gameplay shines the most in solo/duo PvE and solo PvP. At capped levels you may find that the party gameplay gets less and less complex as you gain more skills with such huge damage values that renders a lot of your old skills useless or incovenient, to the point that a lot of people end up having exactly the same build on the same character with little to no room to experiment without sacrificing party optimization. Solo/duo PvE and 1vs1 PvP is where you can truly experiment with your character's movepool.
   
   Another downside of this game is the amount of time one must spend to get top tier gear. If you though Monster Hunter was tiring, this game will screw you. Fortunately the game has means to cope with this, making almost every crafting material tradeable and providing alternative ways to acquire said gear other than grinding for it in it's respective dungeons (which no, doesn't involve the cash shop at all, but rather playing alternate game modes or completing achievements, and sometimes participating in events).
   
   The customization is limited and you can't change the sex of your character, but the cash shop offers a lot of cosmetic items (which may or may not come with stats bonuses, all of which are turned off in PvP). There are a lot of skin colors, eye colors, hair colors, faces and hairstyles available to change the body of the initial character you picked. As you can pick gloves, shoes, pants, shirts and hats individually without being restricted by costume sets you can mix and match to create unique clothes for your characters. There are also earrings and decals (face tattoos) and silly costumes, wings, animal ears and tails for those who like to go around with more extravagant looks.
   
   I want to thank the developers for the amount of care being put in this game, as it is constantly tested and you can expect a balance patch almost every month. Content updates are usually 1 or 2 times a month, so there is always something to look forward. It's such a shame that the reason why some people are giving it such low scores is due to thing that have little to nothing to do with the game or the developers: Complains about distributor-based changes, and the cash shop or community of the game version they play. My advice for anyone who wants to try out this game is make a research of all the servers available for the country you live instead of jumping into the first server you come across, and to try to get a friend to start to play with you.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm enjoying this game quite a bit, It's a little like Tera in it's combat system but simplified, It's very cartoony, Anime if you will, The game takes almost no effort to pick up and play it's that easy, But it has a lot of room to master, Many people will tell you that PvP is broken in this game, simply by juggling your opponents for a win, but doing so is a lot harder than it looks, But it could still be improved upon.
   
   PvE on the other hand is fun, In my opinion, The bosses attacks look rather awesome than a lot of mechanics I've seen in other MMO's, You can tell by level 30 just how much effort they put into the art of the monsters attacks, special skills, and classes.
   
   Crafting is easy to pick up and farming for items is not difficult at all, The community is great, even if many people don't speak english very well, be it kids or from another country, If you want a game that's casual, Dragons nest is for you, If you want something to do End-game that is a little challenging, This is a game for you.
   
   My only problems with the game so far are three things.
   1. End game content PvP or PvE If you want good gear you will have to spend a little money on the cash shop or farm a lot of gold to get the things you require, It does take quite a bit of effort but not impossible.
   2. PvP, Juggling, Keeping your opponent in the air and not giving them a single chance of counter-attack, not everyone can do it but still a little broken to those who can do it flawlessly.
   3. Cash shop is a little empty, Costumes are 20 dollars which add little bit of stats, not worth it for the price and it's not necessary either, Golden eggs which give up to 100k if you're lucky but chances are you'll never win that much 4-500g, It's just out of many cash shops I've seen in other games, this one is lacking major things, All it provides for the most part are HP/MP potions and upgrading materials.… Expand

   While it is easy going on the eyes and skills, and has a intuitive approach to play, I will talk about what makes this game particularly frustrating.
   
   I don't think one can review a game just by playing a month or two. At higher levels, the game becomes predominantly cash based. Buying items in the store(purchased with real money) adds to your stats. But some of the more valuable items in this store are lottery based. So you buy something called a dragon egg which has mostly useless items. About one hundred eggs later you still haven't found what you want. Whereas a chosen few players within the community seem to have a suspicious amount of luck. I found out that some of them are nexon employees/ related in some way to Nexon.
   
   You can earn small amounts of gold doing quests and selling items on the market place to other players. But the really valuable items that would fetch you decent amounts of gold are extremely rare and limited.
   
   The other part of this in game economy system is that almost anything decently valuable needs to be stamped which needs to be purchased with real money. Most times, an item becomes not worth trying to sell because it wouldn't pay for the stamps. Again some people do get loads of free stamps. A person I know got 5*100 stamps as a reward. How? I and almost everyone else I've talked with have only gotten 5 at the most.
   
   The gold is important, for equipment.
   
   The community, I have found to be generally elitist, there is a culture where in you are judged easily by your equipment and costumes, which relates to the amount of money you have spent. This culture is something Nexon promotes because it puts peer pressure on you to spend money.
   
   If you don't, you dare not join any teams because players will inspect your gear and kick you out if it is not the best. And this is basically what the 'nest' in dragon nest is about. This is the actual point of playing the game. The raids give you valuable materials and equipment. But you need equipment to get in there. And you need to enhance your equipment, using cash for protection jellies bought in the Nexon store. And it enhances on a lottery, which means your enhancements can fail or worse, like me, you can lose the item that you just spent 50$ real money on trying to make enough gold to buy it in the first place because the game crashed. And as again, there are a few people who have no problem with this. And they will sell you weapons for 25k gold. (Gold can be purchased at the rate of, approximately, 5000g = $100 from other players)
   
   My advice: It's really not worth playing past lvl 25. Which is a shame, because it is otherwise a very well designed game. Or buy a game for $300 - 500 upfront in which you do not have to spend money in game.… Expand
