Tackling V4's Co-Op Content
V4 is a brand new MMORPG that just released onto PC recently. I’d covered my first impressions of the game, but at the time I’d tackled the game from a solo-player perspective. Today we’ll be doing things slightly different: Today, I had Mrs Stix log into the game, create a character and participate in my journey with me.
I rolled Enchantress the first time because she’s just so gorgeous – and the customization for the Enchantress is by far the most extensive in my opinion, but this time I wanted to try something different so opted for Gunslinger while Mrs Stix went Boomblade.
We both ended up looking pretty damn adorable if I do say so myself.
Let’s start this off by stating that I’m not traditionally a fan of archer-type classes in MMOs. I love pew-pewing enemies with fireballs, lightning bolts, you know, traditionally what mages utilize to eliminate foes.
But the Gunslinger was admittedly – and I don’t say this lightly – kinda fun to level as. There are abilities for both the Boomblade and Gunslinger that I wish other games made use of and as I pointed out the first time ’round, everything looks really good. Skills, combat animations.
I really wanted to progress far enough to jump into the PvP section of the game, but at the same time, Mrs Stix and I are looking to do a multi-part look at V4 and so with that in mind, I figured part 2, our follow-up will feature the PvP and other content we couldn’t make it to today.
The two of us opted to join a guild this time ’round as well. Granted, we chose different guilds as we had a.. difference of opinion on which guild name sounded better, but this should provide us the opportunity to investigate additional forms of content.
More specifically, guild dungeons. Yes, there are dungeons specific to Guilds that you can only participate in AS a guild, and as such, we figured being in 2 different guilds would perhaps give us twice the chance to actually participate in one. If not, we’ll likely end up creating our own.
I’ve always wanted to be a guild leader and I think I have what it takes to run a successful one – to conquer my enemies.
While Mrs Stix and I for the most part went about progressing the story, making it half way through Chapter 3, we managed to do it together. Aside from story-specific quests, the vast majority of what we could do was possible to complete as a group.
I’ve always found it confusing when MMOs – mobile MMOs in specific limit the cooperative play between players. If we want to play together, then let us! That’s part of being an MMO after all, right?
One thing in specific we opted to do was enter the Abyss. This is a game mode that imposes a time limit and objective to complete, in its own, separate instance with a limit on players allowed within at any given time.
We went with Knight’s Regret I as that’s all we had unlocked at present, and our Combat Power was far too low to tackle anything else. It required we enter, and within 2 hours, eliminate 90 monsters. An easy feat for someone as powerful as me. And.. you know, Mrs Stix helped, too, of course.
The Abyss gets progressively more difficult the higher the instance you opt to enter, and as such grouping up with other players to complete the content – while not a requirement – will make things significantly easier.
There have been multiple updates to the game since its release, with additional updates slated to roll out in the near future bringing plenty of content for players to log in and consume. Content I’m sure fans of the game will definitely appreciate!
V4 is a large, open-world cross-platform MMORPG that utilizes very smooth, very flashy combat, has some really great looking visuals, character creation options – yeah, don’t get me started on the character customization.
I covered it in my first video, and.. man the kinda characters you can create in this game are fantastic. There’s a lot to do, there’s a lot of content to make your way through, and there’s so much more to come.
We made it to the end of Chapter 3 today, and I’m hoping in our follow-up we make it through to the end of Chapter 6, maybe Chapter 7 and get to show you more in the way of PvE and PvP, as I’m sure you’re all curious of how that facet of the game is implemented.
