PHANTASY STAR ONLINE.........TWO!

Yo guys. If you're here, you might be wanting to check out Phantasy Star Online....TWO! If you ask me, it's a lot like Vindi. Dungeon crawler, Classes, a main story, and A SHIT TON of side quests. If you like Vindi, odds are, you'll like this game. Oh, and it's futuristic. Only problem is, it's Japanese servers only. Now you're probably thinking, "Oh no! How will I ever be able to play this!? You're telling me things that I can't enjoy!!" 

FALSE

I have a couple things to help you out here. This is going to be time-consuming. This might make you a bit grumpy. BUT, I think you guys can do it. First off, here's a tutorial on how to set up your JP Sega ID which is mandatory for playing the game. When selecting a Ship after you install the game, which are the individual servers for this game, I play on Ship 10: Nauthiz. Mooshg, and a few other people I know play this as well. I don't know anyone on any of the other ships. 

Now, whenever you finish that, you will have to (unless you're fluent in Japanese...didn't think so) get the ENGLISH PATCH. YES IT EXISTS. And, luckily, there is an easy to use program called the "PSO2 Tweaker." This handy-dandy program allows you to make quick adjustments to your PSO2 game. It includes the English patch, a larger (but unnecessary) English Patch, the story patch (also unnecessary) and a few other random things. But all we want right now is the English patch. Whenever you finish installing the game, MAKE DAMN SURE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO SIGN INTO THE GAME!! I cannot stress enough how important this is. If you English patch your game before applying an update that recently came out, your game WILL NOT WORK and you will most likely have to re-install. And if it took you a long time like mine did, you don't want that. So make sure you can log into the game before applying your English patch. Ok, now that the warning is out of the way, here is the link to the PSO 2 Tweaker: http://arks-layer.com/ I'm going to try and make a step by step on how to set up and use your tweaker. It's pretty easy to use, It's like riding a bike, once you learn, you don't forget. Even if you do, you can just come check here :D 

Step one: If you don't have the .NET Framework required for installation, you can find it on the page. If you don't know if you have it or not, you can always download it and see. 

Step two: Download the tweaker. Save it somewhere that you will know where it is.

Step three: Once installation is complete, boot up the tweaker. Once on the screen, you'll see something like what was shown on the website. Click on the Orb and select the option labeled: "Select Win32 Folder" what this does is locates where the files that should be replaced in english. To locate the files, Follow step three A

Step Three A: Computer, :C Drive, Program Files x86, Sega, PHANTASYSTARONLINE2, pso2_bin, data, win32.

Step four: now that that's done, the program may automatically ask you if your english patch or game is up to date. If your game is up to date, which it should be unless you haven't played for a while, hit yes. Your english patch is obviously not since you don't have one. 

Step Five: If the tweaker does not automatically ask you if everything is up to date, poke the orb in the top left corner again, and select "install/update patches. Should be pretty easy at this point.

Step Six: Now that your game is updated with the latest english patch and you patched it after making sure your game was up to date, you should be good to go! See you guys in PSO2.

(Optional Step Seven: If you have any questions, leave a comment, or contact me anyway you can. Some people might have issues playing the game, I know of a couple fixes.)

Boo! naww, we can do better, it's HALLOWEEN!!

Sup, Ladies, mah name's Slim Shady, no it's not. I'm not the leader of D12, baby.

That aside, Nexon is putting up the Halloween update today. Here's a peek at what we MIGHT be getting today. WOO. 

http://heroes.nexon.com/news/notice.aspx?bn=4&no=3017&mode=view

Head there, scroll down a bit, and be stupefied. HA.

Dem keys, dat raid, dem koreans.

Yo guys. Been a while since I've posted here so I figured I'd post something interesting. You guys may or may not know that episode 3 of season 2 is going to involve erg mines. So picture Vindictus gone steam punk per se. Here's a trailer for the episode 3 raids. They are pretty different. Especially the first one. 

In the meantime on NA, there is a key event. Haven't seen one of those in FO-EVA. With a chance to get white wings and black wings. Good luck to all of you! And don't forget about ol' Pantheum.

Guild rankings, Guild raids, Guild E'R'THANG

If you read on from here, I have posted my thoughts on categorizing people within the guild. This isn't to hurt anyone's feelings, or make them feel inferior. This list of ratings is just that. A list of ratings. Categorize yourself, if you agree with your position, good. If not, maybe you have work to do. It's good to have a great relationship with your fellow guild mates. In order to become a King, you must not only be skilled with the game, but also have good reputations with your guild mates. If you think you can deem yourself worthy of King, let me know and I'll begin an exam for you. How I go about deciding who is King and who is not, is secret. (Of course it might be spilled later on but I get my fun for a little bit.) These categories might also be used for suggested raid parties later on down the road. So read on, find yourself, and there will be more after this post. Love you all. By the way, King's names will be listed on the guild website for all to see for their accomplishments. Think of it as my reward to you guys for all your hard work. I know it's small, but still. :3


Kings: The Players of Players. These people are an elite few that can carry themselves through a raid while carrying someone else's damage. 33%+ damage in raids occasionally, but ALWAYS over 12.5% Not attack oriented. These people can Solo Rocheste raids with ease. You must prove yourself to gain the respect that comes with this piece. You rarely see these people lying on the ground. They also have a great reputation with guild members and are all around a respectable person. 

Queens: People who have shown their skill and ability and can manage themselves through the more difficult challenges of the game. 16k+, or a good skill background with 15k. References can help build this reputation. Barely becomes incapacitated in raids or missions.

Prince/Princess: A custom category to fit in between Bishop and Queen. These people have power, can show it off, but at times just don't do too well in raids or Missions. They can solo hero mode missions, but require an assist when things get edgy. Such as Hero West Hilder Forest missions. 

Bishop: People who have gained a respectable skill and are able to carry themselves through somewhat difficult missions. 14k+ as a basis. Good amount of skill Doesn't die very often. but can make someone use all their feathers if they're off their game.

Knight: This category pertains to those who have the stats of a high level 60 or low 70 gear setup. 13k+, Enough skill to be noticeable, damage output is OK, but they just aren't at the level of showing off their stuff.

Esquire: People with 12k+. A group that understands raids, but at the same time, finds them difficult due to the lack of stats. They understand how to maneuver, acquire break offs, things of that nature. But just aren't able to stay fighting for extended periods of time without being revived or using Potions. 12k+, level 60+

Rook: Could be short for Rookie if you understand. People who are just hitting level 60 and unlocking raids. Learning the ropes, but have no experience with raids. Therefore become incapacitated quite often. Less than 12k but level 60+.

Pawn: Your average, under level 60 character. New to the game and all it has to offer, these people are the spawn of tomorrow. These are the people that will help shape the guild, Grow with the guild, and have the potential to gain power and recognition. If you are here, don't see it as a bad thing, think of it as the start of your level 60 career. Any character below 60 goes here.


Well, that's the end of the ranking's portion (mostly.) Now on to more guildy matters. Some of us have been speaking, and we have spoken. Guild raids are coming back! This will give us more opportunities to work as a team, get more experience as a guild under our belt, and help our rooks and ranks of that nature, get more comfortable with the raids. Later on I will be taking a poll on which times best work for the guild. I'll post a link here on this post in the comments so all of you may find it easily. Once you have voted, just sit back and wait. Results will be collected at the end of July 2013. Once that has been decided, the time spot selected will be used for guildies to raid with one another. Notice, I said RAID. Not run CMI, SG, or TD, RAAAAIIIID. Making sure everyone understands. We have to keep in mind that time zones CAN and WILL be a problem. So take that into consideration whenever you go to cast your vote for times. They will be in either 3 or 4 hour windows. Which leave plenty of time. 

As you probably noticed by now, this post is relatively long. So here's a picture of a drunk flamingo.

Back on task now. Some of us Admins/respected guild members, think it might be a good idea to put ourselves out there and help out some of the people who need it. If you think you might, (preferably an Esquire or below) have questions about something like, "Where should I go from here?" or maybe "Am I on the right track?" Perhaps even, "What would be a good setup to get me where I need to be?" Questions like this are what we look for. A whisper would be preferred, but if you would like multiple answers, feel free to ask us in guild chat. BUT, I emphasize dat butt. If you come up to us and ask questions like, "Hey, do you want to help me with (proceeds to name 50bagillion things at once.)" No. We will politely, yet firmly, ask you to please limit it to one (MAYBE TWO if we're feeling generous) thing. This not only lets us get back to what we were doing, but it also shows you that you need to branch off and power up on your own. Yes we will help you, but to a short extent. We are here to GUIDE YOU, not to hold your hand. 

That pretty much concludes this post. I'll be looking forward to seeing your opinions on raid times. If you have any questions, leave a comment, or message me in game. 

Lots of love, <3 Valark. 

P.S. Congrats to all our new members and admins! We hope to be seeing more of you!

EU got a +11 rune a couple weeks back. So odds are, we will be too. Not too mention Episode 2 comes out the 19th! Prep your panties boys and girls. It's gonna be a wild ride.


PS: Sad Korean is sad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=knzTq60Yy_Q

Nevermind. No longer grumpy.

Just a quick update for you guys, June 19th is the 100% CONFIRMED date of Season 2 Episode 2 AND............yes there's an AND. AND we also get the seal shop update!

But no word on Dual Blades yet. :<

I'm pretty grumpy at Nexon (when isn't someone?)

Well Patriots, I'm sorry to say we will NOT be getting episode 2 until NEXT week. This saddens me greatly. To the extent of providing proof of my misunderstanding, I have gathered some comments from the Vindictus forums. Tomorrows maintenance is NOT Epsiode 2. Yes you read that correctly. The following are a couple comments made by Vindi players. The last is a comment made by Aeselli. She is the community manager for those who don't know.


"Cashews" then "Kristie"

Either way, nothing to do but wait and see."

"^remember this also"


Aeselli,"Sorry to burst your bubble but that isn't the BIG ONE. Not yet anyway; it's just a regularly scheduled maintenance."

Well, you guys can see why I thought it was today by the first quote. Thread=deleted. Second quote though.... Makes me think it may be either the 20th, or the 27th at the very latest. Hopefully the first. If for some reason, they're fibbing us and it IS ACTUALLY TOMORROW, Holy shit I might flip a tit or 2.

In Vindictus EU news, A devilish package came out. Featuring a 50br elixir, a random enchant scroll box, and a necklace. But not just any old necklace. This necklace makes it so that any weapon you hold that is +0 -> +7 immediately is treated as a +8. It does not BECOME +8, it's just treated that way.

Also, I need those photo's guys. Email is Duckwithtaco@Gmail.com

Label the topic as "photos" or something like that so I can find it easily. Thanks for keeping it cool. 

-Valark

GG Nexon, you lost me when I saw this. Also, Episode 2 in 9 days

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! Be prepared to flip a tit. So I've been digging around the internet for some new mmo's to play. Because frankly, I need more new experiences. Sure ESO looks kinda interesting, but not really my jam. Closers looked kinda cool, but it's a side scrolling mmo. Kinda like a 3d Maplestory, but WAY more actiony. This game on the other hand, ArcheAge, this game....made me drop my jaw off the empire state building. It's still falling. If you've ever wanted a bit of a slower paced more social interactive vindictus, but still has that kick of action, along with OPEN WORLD, you've come to the right place. Check out this site.

Archeage promotional website: http://www.archeage.com/en

This game looks pretty badass, so if you can't handle that much awesome in a single site, I'll break down some of the points I saw that were good.

You want character customization, on it. 10 skill trees and over 120 possible classes. 

Races: 4 playable races as of now with a male and female on each race.

FUCKING HUUUUUUUUGE ASS MAP 9 beautiful areas that I've seen. All being completely different from one another. 3 different continents with the 3rd being fought over.

You want Naval Combat? got it. Naval battles with other players makes sure you're never alone in the ocean. Even ocean beasts lurk around. Also, they make great use of rowboats in the game. Including rafting, racing, Guinness records, and a "Lover's Rowboat"

Trading is also a huge part of the game. with 3 modes of travel, including Ship, cart, and donkey, (yes that says donkey) You'll be on the lookout for bandits and other things. Prepare to make some awesome cash.

You wanna fly? Go do it. The game has implemented gliders. So you can jump off a high point, and enjoy yourself as you glide to the ground looking over all the beautiful landscapes.


Court System and Jail: I was kind of surprised at this one. The game is going to have a legal system. I guess bandits and such who get caught serve jail time? I'm not sure how it'll work out. But hey, another thing to do. 

Duels: What's an MMO without pvp? kinda boring. and you thought Vindi pvp was intense. Holy shit do you have a mindblow coming.


Large scale battles: Basically team PvP, but a LOT of people. 

Wanna just chill at home and build stuff? feel free. the game has a pretty unique crafting system. I've heard it has the potential to put guild wars 2's crafting system to shame. But what do I know? I just tell you guys the stuff :D

There's probably more, but that's most of what's on the site that I saw interesting. Keep yourself updated! This game isnt even in closed beta yet and it's been in production for YEARS. A lot of games have been running the CryEngine 3, and frankly, it's looking pretty good. But now onto Vindictus Season 2 Episode 2





I TOLD you guys I was gonna make a decent sized post about this. Well, here it is. In 9 days, we will be patching for Season 2 Episode 2. Which means start saving your gold pieces. This shit's about to get EXPENSIVE with the new nighthawk armor and Noblesse armor coming, you'll be pretty damn busy. New weapons on the way as well. Including Vella's Dual Blades. And hopefully we'll finally get the damn seal shop update. 


To get started, here's a pic of the Noblesse armor.

Yeah, yeah, I'm getting these from SakuraFarron's Tumblr. Now she/he Can't sue me for copy/pasting. :D

DAFUQ IS DAT!?!? Reminds me of a bird of some sort.

Here's the new Twin Spears....now where are the Twin Swords....

Besides Genn and Cchio, how many Fio's do we have in this guild o.O

FUCKIN' BEEEEEEEEEEEF

Ah, THERE'S the swords. Colorful too.

Fiona in Nighthawk armor. With a Nighthawk long sword and shield


Unfortunately I cannot seem to find nighthawk armor for dudes anywhere. Sorry ladies, no ladyboners for you today.



YAY VIDEOS! 

Another video which showsA bosses and Vella's Dual Blades below

All in all, I think this episode will be VERY successful. We've never had an area quite like this. Unless you want to count Fobellow Prairie, and if you do, gtfo. New weapons, New bosses, more jumping to evade attacks (FUCK). Whatever you do when playing episode 2, watch your footing, and jump when you know you need to. 

Thanks for reading! 

-Valark









PS: For teh lolz

Dolby Axon tutorial

As some of you are aware, the possibility of using a program called "RaidCall" BUT, I can't seem to access raidcall.com, so instead I'm going to throw you guys into Dolby Axon. It's got GREAT sound quality and a few features you guys may enjoy. This may be implemented so we'll all have an easier time communicating. This guide will show you how to install it CORRECTLY and how to use it! :D 

Let's Begin. 

1: Just follow this link: https://axon.dolby.com/download_sign_up.php
2: Now that you're there, make an account. It's really easy. Quit your whining.
3: After you've confirmed your email, your download should already be done. Speedy right? Click the .exe which starts the installation.
4: Now for the biggest lie of all mankind, continue to hit next until you see the licence agreement. Nobody reads that bullshit. Hit "I agree" and continue.
5: Choose where on your computer you want to save this thing to. Shouldn't be too hard. Just put it in your documents if you feel you might have to get to it later.
6: Keep going, doing as you please. Until you see "Install" click it. It should finish almost instantaneously. 
7: Run Dolby Axon. <-- easiest thing yet, right?
8: Let me know you've created an account and want in on dolby axon. Tell me your username so I can add you to the group. My username is Tachumo. Just like it is here on the Blog.
9: HOORAY! you've successfully put in dolby axon. Just remember a few key things. And by a few, I mean one. If you're talking with people and want to get rid of the window, DO NOT push the X. That exits you from the chat entirely and you'll have to reboot axon to get back in. 
10: As for joining a room, it's fairly simple. After I invite you, accept the invitation, click on our guild name, and join. Simple as that. 

I'll be posting Episode 2 stuff later on. But it will be here before the day the content actually arrives. See you all online!

VindiBingo and Warframe Update 8

YUP so Nexon NA was like, "Yo dawg, I'ma let the community finish, but before episode 2, we gonna have a muthafuckin' bingo game." As far as I'm concerned, for anyone that isn't sure how it works yet, here it is.

At the start of everyday, you can go see one of the three travelers. (Kitty cats) and they will give you 2 attendance tickets, you can use these on the spot to get 2 random numbers 1- 50 for your bingo board. You also get one PINK attendance ticket. Collect three of these, and you can get a bingo number of your choice. Keep in mind though, that when using the pink slips, you can only choose a number 1- 40. Read that again. 1- 40. One more time. ONE THROUGH FORTY. I swear, if I get asked why we can't buy numbers 41 - 50, someone is getting as ass whooping. 

Along with this Bingo event, Nexon is doing a weekend thing. Starting at 8 pm eastern, 5pm pacific time, this weekend, next weekend, the following weekend, and the weekend after that, different things are going on. Dont forget about all the sales as well!

5/25 5/26 - evil core +1

6/1 6/2 - free dye ampoule event.

6/8 6/9 - 2x EXP event

6/15 6/22 - Raids +1 and free goddess grace event.

And keep in mind, come June 12th, we'll be getting Season 2 Episode 2. So boost them stats up any more you can by then. You'll need them for the insane bosses of next episode. Here's a sneak peek at the Korean Episode 2.5 raid boss. Look carefully and you'll see some new skills. The Boss featured in this video is Executor Pantheum.

SO! In other News, Warframe update 8 is out. Featuring the all new, player created Dojo. I could go into some extreme details on this, but I'm not really feeling it after the Vindi breakdown. Digital Extremes has also released 22 new weapons for warframe. Including a machete, a grineer sniper rifle, and Kunai, which are a silent alternative to a secondary weapon. There are also new maps. Featuring a Grineer ship and THE VOID. The void is an orokin relic found within a dimensional rift. You need keys to access the void. Forgot to mention you also need a key to enter the dojo, but youre given the blueprint to make one whenever you are in a clan. So it's no big problem. 

That's the major highlights this week. Check back occasionally for new stuff. And if I ever find something good, you know where to look.

-Valark

Back with a vengeance.......and a slap for Nexon NA

Hey fellow Patriots, Valark here, and after a month or two (probably two) I'm back. I feel like kicking some ass. Looking forward to raiding with you guys again. But to get back onto the usual flow of things, I'ma get started with something I've been wanting to do. BREAK OFF TUTORIALS!!! 

Surely you guys have had trouble smashing spots on bosses until you REALLY got a good look at precisely where and how to do the job, so I'm going to keep this relatively easy. Probably start of with something simple. 

Let's start off with Glas. An easy raid boss to break off if you know what you're doing. 
Step one: Locate the break off spot. See that photo up top? if not, you either are blind, or don't have pictures enabled. It's HIS right wing. so if you're looking at the photo, it's the wing on our left. 

Step Two: How2Break. Glas is pretty simple. Knock him down, apply chain hooks. I think at LEAST 2 people must bring chain hooks. Just remember that Evies cannot use chain hooks. Knock down glas using the ballista, and make sure a bow Kai has not jumped onto glas. If a bow Kai does this, it cancels out all the hard work the ballista person did and wastes chain hooks if you already used them. When aiming the chain hook, I usually aim for where the wing either folds over, or meets Glas' skin. Anywhere around there should be okay though. Just make sure it's a solid connection. 

Optional Step Three: If you and your team failed because either you ran out of ballista spears, fear not! There's something you can do still. y'know those spears on the second floor? Grab 'em. March your ass back down and wait for glas to grab someone. When he does this, hit his ankle right where the skin meets the pants. He'll drop the person, and leave an opening for you to do the break off.

Step 4: Enjoy!



Now that that's out of the way, I can honestly say I am disappointed with Nexon. Since I left about a month or so ago, they have basically done nothing. Nexon EU already has Vella's Dual Blades. This happened back on MAY F***ING SECOND. Nexon EU has also obtained a special enhancement rune that protects your gear when going to +11. I'm not sure if it was an event item or if it's available in the shop. Either way, Nexon NA has a ways to go until we catch up.

Items! Get your Items here! FREE STUFF!

VINDICTUS

Ok ok, im 100% super serious when I say this. You may want to get on vindictus and check this out.

You see this? this is over $23 bucks worth of stuff. FREE. Get on that shit. Also, if you look, you see a "Treasure chest key" Possible chest event coming soon? Hopefully so. I never got rid of my chests from the first time around soooooo. Oh yeah, don't forget to log in on 4/13 (the day I wrote this) 9 pm central time for a FREE enchant rune. They're probably doing this because of all the people who had trouble that weekend. (including myself) :<

WARFRAME

Glorious Leader is being quite the sir, and letting me post things about Warframe as well as Vindictus. So i'll have 2 separate categories everytime something like this happens. Anyway, for those of you playing Warframe, update 7.7 came out yesterday. And boy is it awesome. Ether weapons are here. as well as dual Vipers and I think maybe a couple other nice things. I've also heard that a few new mods have been implimented as well as a few Warframes' (like Ash's) Abilities have been swapped around. Here's a photo of the Ether weapons.

That's it for this update. Hope you guys enjoy whatever you're playing this week. See ya!

-Valark

Not Vindictus related, just something I want to share with you guys. Maybe make this a hybrid site. WHO KNOWS!?

So, as some of you may or may not have noticed, I haven't really been getting on lately. That's mainly because I've been playing this kickass game called "Ninjas in Space." Actually it's called Warframe, but people just call it Ninjas in Space because that's basically what it is.

It just recently (last month actually) went into open beta. I'd love to have some people to play with, and if we extend our guild to other games, who knows, we may be pretty damn popular. Here's the Open Beta trailer. Definitely worth a watch or 5.

If you guys are interested, my IGN alias is: Tachumo. Send me a friend request and leave a comment so other people can add you. The game does not take up much space and is a relatively quick and easy download (a lot faster than Vindictus.) Here's a link to the main page, you'll have to make an account as well.

FINE! I'll do it now. I have nothing better to do. Worse things yes, better?No.

Ok so in my last post, I spoke of a PVP tourney towards the end. I'm HEAVILY considering it. We have 80 something members, so I'm pretty sure i can find at least 16 people that would want to participate. I myself will NOT be participating. (Yeah, deal with it. You guys can kick my ass some other time.) Since everyone seems really balance, I won't be holding many restrictions. BUT! I will come up with a set of rules and regulations that I will expect everyone to follow. A lot of these are from when I participated in Omen's PVP tourney. 

Ok, so onto the restrictions.

14.5k is the highest attack /magic attack that I'm allowing. Soooo worrying about lv 80 weapons won't be a problem.
Have too much? take off a ring or whatever. You'll come up with something. 

8k def for all characters except Fiona since her low attack speed compared to every other character. Fiona's get up to 9k. 

Since we still have Fiona fresh on our minds. If you play a Fiona, you are welcome to change shields depending on who you will be dueling, so long as you don't go over the Def Cap of 9k. <--- see? I even reminded you guys. :>

Kai: It's pretty easy with Kai in PVP. I wanted to say longbow only and no "Armed and Dangerous" ability, but that'd be a pretty big hassle. And ain't nobody got time fo' dat. So, if you're playing kai, one simple thing, and this kinda goes for everyone as well. Don't play like a douche. (spaming shortbow arrows, spamming hollow shot with the crossgun, things of that nature.) 



SP: This will be allowed, but the use of potential one hit moves, Eagle Eye Assault, Six Shooter, Massive Attack, Reverse Gravity, Earthquake, things of that nature are BANNED. Surely you guys have seen the devastating damage that a crossgun can do. And you all can agree that it would be a bad idea to allow it. This is mainly pointed towards Kais but you guys get where I'm going with that. Moving on....

Quickslots: Off. No exceptions. "Oops, I accidentally used a Superior HP potion." Yeah, Bullshit. Turn those off when starting a duel. 

Pets. Nope. Nuh uh. Not even gremlins. I don't give a FUCK how adorable your free wolf is, you're not bringing it with you. They may tweak the balance of the match using one of their abilities, and we just can't have that. 

Match Bracket Locations: I'll be setting players against each other through luck of the draw. I plan on drawing all names out of a hat. The order I draw them out, is the order in which they will be placed. If anyone thinks that isn't fair, explain please. 

Duels will be best 2 out of 3. Winner of 2 will move on to the next round. I plan to have 2 brackets. A winner's bracket and a loser's bracket. Looks something like this.









Ok, I think that about covers it. I'll be available for talking to whenever I'm online. But if you need to sign up, and can't get a hold of me, (I'm slippery like a worm) just leave a comment here or talk to someone who will remember to speak with me. If I need to add anything to this, let me know and I will. 




HOLY SHIT, I almost forgot to mention the prize. Since this will be the very first tourney, the prize is 10k NX. If it works out well, I may do this again but with a bigger prize. I'm too much of a bastard to work and get enough gold to pay you guys that way. NO ENTRY FEE REQUIRED. If you get runner up, tough beans. You didn't win.

Spring is here...........boing. I'm a rabbit.

Hey guys. Valark here with another super duper thing from my update-o-rama machine. Easter event is here and holy crap. DAT NECKLACE! Here's what it does.
ATT and M.ATT +500
Balance, Attack speed, Critical: +3   <--- me gusta
Def: +500
Luck +10 <----WTF!?

This Necklace has ASTOUNDING bonuses, so take advantage of this while you can. Do all your raids, run for some scrolls, maybe even do some season 2 runs.Unfortunately, no word on Seal Shop update. But if I were to guess, I'd say April 3rd or 4th depending on when the event ends officially. Stack them seals.

Let's see....what else......OH YEAH! Korea announced that they're doing character revamps. Holy Hercules Testicles. This stuff right here is gonna blow everyone's minds.

Lann is the only character I know about with the revamp. Fiona is getting it as well, but from what I know, it's mostly small shield stuff. Sword lann is getting a major buff. Every poke with Thousand Needles will boost your crit chance (up to 10%). and Furious 7 will be more controllable. Among other things.
Eh, frankly I really don't feel like writing the rest of this. So here's a copy paste from VindiHQ with stuff....and things.


"The central element of Lann gameplay is crit.

But it is becoming increasingly difficult for Lanns to use Gliding Fury or Lightning Fury due to the increasing amount of crit resistance monsters are getting. Lann’s revamp will be centered around improving his crit chances.

This will mainly be done with Thousand Needles.

Now as a separate skill, Thousand Needle will increase crit chance for each hit that connects [capped at 10%]

So this skill will be needed to be used when the target shows an opening to fully utilize the crit buff and when Lann scores a crit, an additional effect will be added to this buff which improves Fury skills.

Skills effected by this extra buff are Gliding Fury, Lightning Fury, and Fury 7."


So that's the update. Hope you guys are enjoying the last week of the March events. I'm kind of tempted to host a "guild members only PVP tourney" But I'll get back to you guys on that in the next couple days. If not later today :>

PEACE, CRACKAS!!
