It’s frustrating to think that I missed out on such a spontaneous group experience because of a bug like that. Whatever shard I was on was not the one I guessed. I make a guess, hoping to find the right random word and number combination. Uhhhhh, which one was I on again? I don’t remember. So I log out and try to log back in… to be confronted by the shard list. All of the others say they’ll wait for me. So I decide to try and get rid of the bug by logging out and logging back in. I check my menus, and I’m not in a guild. “Let’s just try that again.” My new friend invites me again, but nothing happens. I’m not in a guild, and wow do I want to be in a guild with all of these nice people. I was pointing at the background to the alert when I pulled the trigger on my controller, and it disappeared. He goes around inviting people one by one, when my turn comes I see the invite on my screen but… mis-click the “Agree” button. We all agree, but first someone wants to invite all of us to their guild. We’ve got about seven people, probably plenty. Eventually someone comes up with the idea to raid a dungeon nearby. I point out the oranges spawning in a tree nearby and a whole horde of players jump up it trying to get their hands on those sweet fruits. So we all bring our hands together as though in prayer, and respawn. I look around and see the grey pillars of smoke that designate where a player has fallen littering the battlefield.Īny player can revive another in Zenith, unfortunately here there is noone left to revive us. In seconds my health drops to zero and my screen goes gray. More enemies are attacking me, and they’re tough. Enemies start popping up and I start swinging. There are quite a few of us and we’ve been constantly obtaining better equipment for the last fifteen or so minutes. Regardless our group is pretty confident. They all seem to be centered around killing hordes of enemies. While there may be other types of events I’ve never found one. Events are group activities that spawn a lot of enemies in a short period of time, requiring players to defeat them before a timer runs out for an increased reward of experience and in game money based on their level of participation. Then a big block of text appears floating in the air. So we keep farming for a while, having a blast and talking about the drops we got, or anything else that comes to mind. Our group is decently sized, and we notice that we’re getting pretty good drops from the big red Sylphids we’re farming. The social etiquette of video games and real life are starting to merge together. Once or twice I’ve been caught staring at somebody, and they’ll give an awkward wave back, as though I was staring at them for real. It’s like running into someone on the street. Hanging out with other players feels so much more… natural in VR. Normally chatting amicably while playing involves a Discord server or a LOT of typing. It’s so much different from any other MMORPG I’ve played. Next thing we know there’s a whole group of us demolishing every enemy that spawns and chatting away. Mostly about the game and how everyone is the same height, even if they are clearly different ages. A robot companion of sorts, the tutorial explainer character, pops up and says something uninteresting about Aether Fushion before instructing me to walk over to a quest-giver. A techno-futuristic façade of holographic billboards, storage containers, and metal walkways greets me. The starting spawn is somewhere underground. If I have to get close to enemies I like to be the sort of class that can take a lot of damage and keep swinging. To me, a sword fighting tank makes a lot of sense. Each class comes in DPS, Tank, and Support varieties. In Zenith there are two classes, Blade Masters for up close fighting and Essence Mages for ranged attacks. The UndercityĪs with traditional MMOs a character must be made in order to play the game, and a class selected. Here’s Reality Remake’s first day in Zenith: The Last City. Now it’s your turn to get a look into what could be the future of the MMO genre. The experience of interacting with other adventurers and flying around Zenith’s beautiful world in Virtual Reality is unparalleled. It has been compared to a real life equivalent to the anime Sword Art: Online and that comparison is not entirely without merit. The VR MMORPG Zenith: The Last City finally released on Januto much hype.
