Hellbound transformations shake things up in Lineage 2
MMOs are fun. Our hope is that you feel that way, otherwise you wouldn't be reading the site. That said, they can get a little same-y. You play the same game for long enough - hours and hours of time - and you want something a little different. The Lineage 2 update Hellbound just recently dropped onto the live servers, and yesterday the game celebrated its fourth anniversary. In honor of these events (and to shake things up a bit) the folks at NCsoft sent over a dev diary all about the additions to the Transformation system.Essentially, players who want to play the game at a bit of a different angle will have the opportunity to do so. The Kamael update introduced this system, which allows players to collect forms reshape their characters for a limited amount of time. Hellbound added new high level transformations to the game, including some extremely rare transforms you'll need to raid to obtain. Among others, this new category includes the ability to transform into some of those same monsters you'll be raiding against - like Ranku or Kenchi. For full details on the system and its newest additions, read on below the cut.%Gallery-19265%
More L2 expansion details and teaser site revealed
The latest Lineage II newsletter came packed with information about the new Hellbound expansion, including a link to the notes for the expansion's update from the test server.

The new transformations come from books found on raid monsters, and the names of these monsters are kindly given, along with the name of each transformation and its level requirements.We're also ushered in the direction of a teaser site for Hellbound, which opens with a sharp animation and kicks into a trailer for the expansion -- fans of big swords and evil-looking dudes getting chopped to pieces ought to go have a look.
