RF is a PK game, and even the most un-munchkin-like of players appreciates a record of how well you have done as a soldier in this war. Still, some of the general features were nifty. I remembered the tests we did while waiting to reform the Guild (the Guilds all got erased at patching since CCR, RF’s owner, made a new protocol for C.Dawn that was incompatible with the old Guild system), and I kept missing with single-target spells at my Guildmaster, Ryunaito, because he now had access to the Long Range Skill buff, Dodge. Most of the new features for Bellato panders to the Riders and the Specialists, who get access to the Expert Skills when they have 50 PT to their Basic tiers. I was also (pleasantly) distracted by a bouncing Chootie on my lower right screen.Īctually, Crimson Dawn offers little for a Bellato Mystic like me. The first thing that greeted me on entry were the new pop-up messages on the center of the screen because our crazy archon was testing the new target-designation features. There was an initial problem with Altrax, but the other servers were ok. I had to uninstall all my previous copies of RF in both HDs (and, wow, i now have more than 11 GB of free space in my primary partition), fully installing from the C.Dawn CDs we got from Level Up! but it was worth it since the patching went fast and hassle-free. Last Tuesday, Rising Force Online-Philippines patched Crimson Dawn, so named because this latest update would have the long-awaited “reds” (or crimsons, or amys, depending on your Race), the special gear for those level 50 and above and the new maps.
