Chen: The Sea Battles are massive tests of tactics and teamwork. Players can join a party to challenge bosses or take part in island defense combat in which one side will try to defend their turf while the other will attempt to invade. There are a lot of strategies involved and the situations will change each time players face off against different opponents, making each adventure refreshing and new. The Sea Battles add a whole new dimension that players would never experience in normal land battles.
Blend Games: I guess Allods Online better watch its butt with Tales of Pirates 2 (Tales of Pirates 2 Gold)around the corner. Anyway, on the subject of players and interaction…has the character customization changed much and will fans have more or different clothing options to look forward to?
Chen: We received rave reviews for the character customization offered in the original ToP. We made sure ToP II would retain all of that while adding new features. At the start of the game, players will have a wide range of hairstyles and facial features to choose from. There are also options to change the looks of characters during the course of the game through a special NPC. The number of customization options far exceeds what was available in ToP. We want everyone to be able to create their own unique character and look good while they dominate the waves.
Blend Games: Is it possible to share with readers what some of the new locations will be like and where they’ll be able to adventure?
Chen:ToP II will be releasing new maps regularly. At the moment, we have the bulk of Dream Island completed. This map features a completely new city design. The story and the quests available there are different from the original, as well. We will also be adding new islands for players to explore. Some of these will feature ferocious monsters never seen before. We want to create a sense of exploration and discovery, so players will be surprised by what they find at each island.
Blend Games: Thanks Chen for answering our questions. Are there any other features you would like gamers to know about before they get a taste of Tales of Pirates II?
Chen: We have added a lot of exciting new features in ToP II, such as the Augury system in which players can visit a special NPC to get their fortune told and receive great buffs. There is also the Treasure Digging system that lets our pirates play treasure hunter and search for treasures throughout the game world. There are simply too many new features to go through in detail here. Players can join the closed beta now by getting a CB key from our website and find out just how much fun being a pirate can be.
