The Legends of Aria alpha has shifted to May 12th in order to allow the team to deploy all of the final changes and additions required for testing. Players can look for interface improvements, a new MMO-scale map and reworked features across the breadth of the entire game.
To show off some of what will be included in the alpha, the Legends of Aria team will be on hand on Monday, may 8th at 3:00 pm Pacific / 6:00 pm Eastern in the LoA Twitch channel.
There is also a brand new blog post that lays out some of the details on the Prestige Class system. The post discusses general information about the system before showing off The Knight, including its abilities.
What we have accomplished with Prestige Classes is to leave our core skill systems very much intact. When engaging in combat, a characters skill set and technique is the foremost determinant in battle, we’ve stayed well away from a rock/paper/scissor outcome. Prestige Classes offer players an added layer of complexity to suit and expand their playstyle, increase the potential skill curve of PvE and PvP encounters and offer immersive roles to players who want to push their characters in a certain direction.
