NCsoft Releases Another Lineage II Expansion with Player-Inspired Content
Chronicle 5 offers players both playable content and refinements of existing systems that make gameplay at every level more exciting.
Description
Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood is the latest in a series of massive free expansions to Lineage® II. Chronicle 5 continues the tradition of adding tons of new content, but also includes concentrated enhancements to existing features unlike any Chronicle before. Armed with feedback from our Lineage® II community, Studio E&G has improved multiple systems to appeal to new players and enrich the experience of veterans.
Features
- A Better Experience for Solo Hunters and New Players
Prior to Chronicle 5, the life of a new player or solo hunter in the world of Aden could be an unforgiving and frustrating experience. New items and changes for solo players and low level characters offer a more enjoyable experience without sacrificing the renowned challenge of Lineage® II. - Revitalized Player vs. Player Combat
Lineage® II features unequaled PvP combat and the challenge is as fierce as ever. In Chronicle 5, class balance is the focus. Every class can now win through skilled manipulation of its own strengths and the enemy’s weaknesses. - Enhanced Clan System
Clans can now have more members through the addition of the Royal Guard and the Order of Knights. Also, through the creation of their own Academy, clans can bring new players into the clan and rapidly train them (advance them in level). Also added are new clan-based skills that aid each clan member, new clan halls, and a variety of other social benefits. - New Castles and Territories
Several new adventuring areas are introduced in Chronicle 5, including the castles of Rune and Schuttgart. These massive fortresses present fresh challenges for experienced siege planners. New creatures populate these unconquered territories, including Frintezza – an immortal being of immense power, offering an entirely new style of battle to seasoned veterans. - Increased Level Cap
Players can now advance to level 80, giving the elite players of Lineage® II a challenge unlike any other MMORPG. - Many Additional Features
Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood is packed with hundreds of new items, creatures, quests, mini games and improvements. Players can expect refinements to many aspects of the game including the user interface, fishing, and the Hero and Olympiad systems.
