VivaGames team working on the english version of Gods Origin is making progress

The team working on the english version of Gods Origin Online MMO is making progress on their run-up to beta, particularly in the area of PvE, quests, and raids. As one would expect, players level by completing story missions. Completing all of the story will offer access to Rift quests which are available in five different difficulty levels — the highest level of which can be turned into a 16-player raid.

Since this is a pretty big deal, the VivaGames team has planned a new (monthly) event and a contest to go along with it. The event, titled “Residential Renovation” will run one week every month.

First things first: Arena is still Magic: The Gathering. Seven cards in hand, 20 life, creatures, sorceries, lands, all that jazz. The underlying game is exactly what you’d expect.

There are plenty of activities that don't require player interaction. Gods Origin has a questing system like any other MMORPG that gives players the chance to earn XP and items while completing missions at their own pace. The game features a dungeon mode for single player. There are five dungeons that can be completed without any help from other players.

Another example of Arena’s improved pace how the game would make an “educated guess” as to what lands you wanted to tap while casting a spell, so you didn’t have to select them individually. You could still select them manually if you wanted full control over what got tapped. Between games, Wong brought up the pace of the game with Cao and Price, which was unquestionably a planned talking point.
