Fans of ChangYou's cutesy Chinese-flavored MMO Zentia are in for a tasty summer treat today. The company is wrapping up the season with the launch of update 1.4, which brings with it the first part of the third Heavenly Test, known as the Ten-Position Test. No, that's not veiled innuendo -- Zentia's Heavenly Tests are world events in which elite groups of players compete to advance the server and level-cap. The patch also offers new disciplines, quests, drop-rate tweaks, paintings, updates to the cash shop (including new pirate-themed costumes), and a new instance named Silent Altar Challenge, which is aimed at highbie players.
Coinciding with this content update is the introduction of a new themed event called the Dragon Boat Festival. Running from August 17th to the 24th, the festival encourages players to donate raw materials to NPCs called Provincial Officers, who will craft the titular dragon boats and teach players how to make party food known as zongzi. A "surprise" awaits those who lend their materials to the project, so if you're in the mood for a snack and a boat ride, don't delay.
Past the break, we've included an official trailer highlighting the best of the patch. Enjoy!
This is a great f2p game. If you haven't checked the game out yet, do so! If you played the game already, come back. Its getting better patch by patch. This update looks pretty small compared to the big update earlier this summer. It doesn't include any of the bug fixes from the previous updates.. I recommend you to play on the PvP server.
Agreed. An exceptional game with a fantastic pet/mount system, some of the best Guild perks I've ever seen and so many events that the in-game announcements border on spam.
Quests can get a bit grind-y (at half max level I had a quest asking for 60 mobs) but combat is fun and the environments are clever and well-designed.
