Game!: The Multi Character Control (MCC) system looks interesting, how does this work exactly?
Hrin: Most MMORPGs on the market allow you to control only one character at a time. Yet with MCC, it allows you to choose 3 members from your family to form a team. In this way, you are able to control up to 3 characters at any one time. You will have access to all their stances and skills, and can choose to either control all three of them individually, as a team, or leave it up to the XAI (Xtreme Artificial Intelligence). The great thing about it is that the possibilities are so endless! I mean, think about the THOUSANDS of different types of combat strategies (regardless of whether it is PVP or PVE) that can be adopted, adapted and re-invented through the interplay between your 3 characters’ skills and spells!
So you can imagine what happens when your family forms squads with other families in the game! Just think about it – different families with different classes and different RNPCs, all showcasing their various abilities and magic at the same time. The battle scenes are awe-inspiring!
Game!: We have played the game and it seems like you can just camp out somewhere using the XAI system and automatically kill monsters, which many may see as botting, but it is built into the game. Won’t this affect the enjoyment of players?
Hrin: Oh! The amazing XAI feature! Hah! That’s one of the things I absolutely love about GE! What I adore about the XAI feature is that I am able to purely focus on hotkey mapping for all my 3 character special stances and skills activation, rather than having to worry about their normal attacks. Now that’s HOT!
Purely using the XAI function to level up one time would probably take around 12 hours as compared to an active gamer making use of special skills, who will probably only take about 2-3 hours to level up. Besides, from middle levels onwards, it becomes difficult to purely use the XAI to AFK level up since most of the monsters from middle levels onwards cast spells or have their own melee specials which knock your character backwards, thus disabling the XAI auto-combat mode. You would need to reset the combat mode in order to continue your training which renders pure XAI AFK training totally ineffective. At the same time, you will be unable to harvest rare item drops from monsters or to earn vis (in-game money) which can be extremely detrimental when you want to upgrade your equipment or armor. And if you attempt to higher level mobs without upgrading your equipment, it is almost impossible to survive.
