Once more we return to the world of Rusty Hearts, as Perfect World has released a major update for the game: Requiem. Requiem includes these lore and gameplay highlights:
- Natasha makes her first appearance in Rusty Hearts lore and becomes an integral part of the team
- Fluffy – yes, Fluffy – wreaks havoc in his monstrous return after a brief glimpse in the prologue/tutorial
- Frantz searches for his lost love of Amelia heats up
- Gerald continues his twisted and demented ways as he creates an alliance with Cipher to acquire more power
- The Golden Seal team investigates the Opera House in an effort to locate the enigmatic power source bringing all the marionettes to life
- The team’s investigation brings it to uncharted depths of the theater where they encounter one of the biggest enemies ever seen
Last, but certainly not the least, new skills for all characters, and a higher level cap.
We’ll have an in-depth look at Requiem after I investigate the newest update this weekend.

The Dungeon Journal (currently labeled ‘Encounter Journal’ in-game) is one quite handy dandy feature currently being tested on WoW’s Public Test Realm for Patch 4.2. A cheat sheet of sorts, this new tab can be accessed via the bottom, right-hand menu of buttons in-game, right next to the dungeon finder. It gives all sorts of useful information about Cataclysm dungeons and raids, including a basic synopsis of lore, boss character models and detailed lists of abilities with which bosses will attempt to pummel you in an encounter.
While the feature doesn’t specifically give tactics, an experienced player should be able to take hints from the boss’s listed abilities and decide how to perform. I’m guessing that the addition of this feature and making this information easily accessible without a trip to WoWhead, TankSpot or other website of choice may make players pretty harsh against anyone who goes into an encounter without at least some information.
Want to do a random dungeon but worried about getting put in one you don’t yet know? This will help cancel those worries. Plus, it will ease strain on players who simply cannot alt-tab out without facing dire consequences. Heard enough? Take a look at the video below to get a feel for how it works.
