With <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Lucent-Heart/"><em>Lucent Heart's</em></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Scaena/"><em>Scaena</em></a> expansion fast on the way, the developers have yet to run out of new and exciting features to share with the game's players. This week, it's all about pitting guild against guild in mortal conflict. Who will rise? Who will fall? And most importantly of all, who will be pwned and who will be leet?<br />
<br />
It seems as though <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Gamania/">Gamania</a> is angling this expansion toward as wide an array of player types as possible, with not only GvG combat satiating the PvP crowd, but <em>Scaena's</em> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/11/exclusive-lucent-hearts-shows-off-the-scaena-expansions-dance/">custom dancing tools </a>pleasing the fluff nuts and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/18/exclusive-lucent-hearts-scaena-zones-and-bosses/">new bosses and zones</a> appealing to the PvE questers.<br />
<br />
Today we have several exclusive pictures showing off <em>Lucent Heart's </em>guild vs. guild combat, as well as an in-depth look into this system from the developers after the jump!<br />

If you were looking for something a little more "traditional fantasy" after <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Lucent-Heart/">Lucent Heart's</a></em> music-and-dance routine video <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/11/exclusive-lucent-hearts-shows-off-the-scaena-expansions-dance/">last week</a>, then today's dev diary will suit your tastes. In it, the folks at <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Gamania/">Gamania</a> have delivered to us an exclusive preview of the upcoming <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Scaena/">Scaena</a> update's zones and bosses. The world of Acadia is being enhanced with the Witch's Cliff on the continent of Cropolis; the level 65-69 Heart of Fire in the lands of Fostyre; the crafting hub Minotsize, City of Industry; and the continents of Edea and Aislan. The dev diary also highlights two of the opponents that players can expect to encounter: the formidable God's Advocate in Mount Destiny and the scorpion-riding Medea in the Witch's Cliff.<br />

	<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/11/exclusive-lucent-hearts-shows-off-the-scaena-expansions-dance/"><img alt="Not pictured: Nyan Cat dance." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2011/08/lh-scaena-epl-810-1313012826.jpg" /></a></div>
Anyone can win in a fight where your mettle is tested by firearms and swords, but <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Lucent-Hearts/">Lucent Heart</a></em> is pushing players to battle in the arena where true victories are forged: the dance floor. That's the central feature shown off in the new trailer for the upcoming <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Scaena/">Scaena</a></em> expansion, in which characters will be able to create custom dances set to custom music and then fight for dominance on the dance floor in exchange for powerful new rewards. Yes, this a real thing.<br />
<br />
There's more to the expansion than just the opportunity to set your dance troupe on fire with a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4">Nyan Cat</a>-based dance routine. There are new guild-vs.-guild battles, new areas for players to explore, and new enemies for players to fight. But you don't have to take our word for it; the trailer is just past the break to show off all of the coming update's moves. (And the Nyan Cat dance is also a real thing, for the record.)<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/11/exclusive-lucent-hearts-shows-off-the-scaena-expansions-dance/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Exclusive: Lucent Heart shows off the Scaena expansion's dance moves</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/11/exclusive-lucent-hearts-shows-off-the-scaena-expansions-dance/">Exclusive: Lucent Heart shows off the Scaena expansion's dance moves</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 11 Aug 2011 10:00:00 EST.
