Tarisland Chinese Beta Has Begun, With Some Promised Improvements Already Included, As Team Gives a Peek

Tarisland has opened up its Chinese beta, and the team is sharing a few screenshots and details while we all wait for future global testing.

The game had its second global closed beta back in November, and the team has since been discussing changes they’re implementing in response to community feedback. That feedback covered everything from gameplay, progression, to of course, monetization for Tencent’s game that the team was calling not pay to win. In our impressions at the time, Kanishka covered many of the initial issues, but there have been a number of dev updates since walking us through work they’re doing in development.

While Tarisland is still being worked on, a new test does give a little bit of a peek for the curious, though there are just some details and some screenshots to chew over for now. As for those improvements, among them are removing the gender lock from classes, PvE improvements, fairer monetization, and more.

In a post on the official Discord announcing the start of the Chinese beta, many of the announced changes to crafting, PvE, some of the paid content, and PvP reworks, are included. What isn’t included are some of the first added class models, “Many of the updates we've shared in our Dev Update series will be present in this CN Test (except for the Female Paladin and Male Mage)”, it reads.

Still, they caution that everything is still not final, and things are still deep in development. We’ll have to wait a little longer to hear more on the next global test and how the announced optimizations and improvements will hold.

Tarisland’s Jeya has begun sharing bits of the experience via screenshots over on Discord, and the community is also invited to leave comments and questions in the channel.
