A second closed beta test will be announced very soon with wider access for those interested. If you're interested, there are a handful of different pre-order packages up on the official website right now. I've only spent a few days and a handful of hours with Astellia so these impressions are just based on the opening hours which is far from the most robust way of judging an MMO, but it didn't do a whole lot to convince me that it's more than just another generic Korean MMORPG with a slightly creepy young girl collecting meta-game.Īstellia will release on PC in September of this year. In fact, Astellia honestly looks at times like it was created using hefty chunks of the same assets in Tera already-but I could be wrong there. And if you want something free instead, go play Tera. Fans of traditional tab-targeting combat are likely better off just doubling down and playing Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft and fans of more fast-paced combat should probably just play Guild Wars 2 or Elder Scrolls Online. In the end I don't fully understand who the target audience is with Astellia. You can tell she's on your side because she's wearing white. This isn't the first time promises like this have been made, so fingers crossed they follow through. Specifically, with regards to Astellia's negative reputation surrounding its predatory cash shop that allows players to purchase powerful items to directly improve their characters, the developer has stated those items will be removed from the Western version entirely. The company behind Astellia's western release (Barunson Entertainment) have emphasized that the game's English version will not be pay-to-win. The team shared various dates and times for both the termination of service in addition to various refund. Without a doubt it's got one of the best, most detailed, and visually impressive character creation systems of any MMO (or game, period) that I've tried since Black Desert Online. Astellia will be shutting down on October 29. I typically play paladin-type characters so I picked warrior-thankfully the character creator is excellent. Reportedly the gender locked classes will be changed to allow for changing genders on release (such as playing a female warrior or male healer) but in the build I tried that wasn't possible. It felt like I was intended to amass a harem of young girls (and animals) to fight for me and they hardly added much benefit during combat at all. One character can learn every single crafting profession however, you can only learn one gathering profession per character, thus you will need more than 1. A collection of Astel cards used for character summons.
