Another box drop event has started this week. Not much to say about it without starting the actual review.I'm counting Attack Power up as if it's part of the same event, just to make it easier.What is it about?Like the other box drop events, masquerpets everywhere will have a chance to drop a lucky box. There is one difference, however. This time there are FOUR boxes! Each with their own lucky item possibilities:Flyffer's Fortune Box I, II, III and IV. The items vary between blinkwings (including Shaduwar's), tickets for premium lands, fashion, pet energy, protection scrolls, amplification, etc.At the same time, every character in the game will receive an added attack of +300. This means you will deal 300 points of damage more than usual. Yes, 300, no more no less, despide what your physical damage or ADoCH is.What do I think about the event?The fact there are 4 boxes made me think the chance of dropping boxes would be pretty high. Sadly, that's not the truth. Getting regular blinkwings or even common food from the boxes is a bit unmotivating. On the other hand, there's chance for tickets and scrolls. Still, I wouldn't add this to my list of favorite events...It's a great thing it's still an event you can use to make money. People buy the boxes. And they aren't cheap.Pros and Cons - Review, TLDR style+Blinkwings that are usually not possible to get (Shaduwar).+Not only Azria Tickets, but also Coral Island Tickets. A treat not common in drop events.+Good enough for making money off boxes.+Extra Attack Power is a BIG help for Lv1~70 characters. Specially new players.-Chance for regular blinkwings is really high. Getting Blinkwings of Flaris from an event box isn't exciting.-Three boxes can contain the same blinkwings.-Drop chance not that great. -Items like protection scrolls don't come in stacks of 2 or 3. Only 1 scroll per box. (Assuming you get any) What the box looks like when dropped from masquerpets. My score for the event is...~Flyffer's Fortune + Attack Power up~Score: 5.5/10 Image taken from the official thread.Back from my hiatus I couldn't let this event slide by and not do a review of it.Why, it was about time I found an event to earn a score so low it will remain in the bottom for a long time.Wanna know why I say that? Read on!What is it about?When they named these two events Go for Broke they really meant it.The first event is a Roll For Fun event. You talk to the Dice Roll lady in the center of Flarine and make your bets. If you win your bet, you get 5 times the ammount of money you paid. You can make up to 6 bets at once. But, naturally, making 5 bets or more will destroy any profit you can have.The second event is the Kawi Bawi Bo/Rock, Paper & Scissors game. To play it you need a coupon. To get the coupon you must give 5 snow crystals and 100,000 in penya to the mayor of Flarine.Snow crystals drop from any masquerpet level
15 or higher. And their drop rate is very high.You can use your coupons to play Rock, Paper & Scissors with the Naughty Demian standing beside the mayor. Winning many times in a row guarantee you better prizes. But you can only take one prize per round. Meaning going for better prizes increase the odds of you losing a coupon for nothing.10 x Mysterious Pills - Win once3 x Sprint Scrolls - Win 2 times in a row2 x Event Sunstone - Win 3 times in a row5 x Event Sunstone - Win 4 times in a row12 x Event Sunstone - Win 5 times in a row3 x Super Star Candy - Win 6 times in a row6 x Super Star Candy - Win 7 times in a row1 x Red Armored Tigar (Pick-up Pet) - Win 8 times in a row1 x Elegant White Wings - Win 9 times in a row1 x Dragon Cloak of Initate - Win 10 times in a rowWhat do I think about the event? BE CAREFUL! IT'S A TRAP!Kawi Bawi Bo is one of my favorite events....not this time.I've never disliked an event as much as I dislike these.The Roll For Fun is as random as it can get. But since the chances of making a good profit are so slim, it can be considered a trap for removing penya from the server.Sadly the people who keep the most perins are too smart to fall for it.The current Rock, Paper & Scissors event is a Kawi Bawi Bo gone wrong.Unlike the previous Kawi Bawi Bo events, this one has a horrible list of prizes, and 10 times the previous cost. (If you didn't know, the last KBB required 5 easily droppable items and 10,000 instead of 100,000)The first prize worth playing for is only acquired after EIGHT victories in a row. And the best prize is a +5 stats cloak. Do I need to say more?Moreover, Go For Broke should be appealing to the wealthy to work as a penya sink. But when it comes to practice it's just a colossal NEWBIE TRAP!The reason is simple:The players with a lot of funds that should be lost to the nothingness know better than risk billions in the Roll For Fun. The Kawi Bawi Bo's rewards aren't very good, and not worth their time or money, afterall they have all those items and a big share of better ones. So who falls to these traps? The new players!100,000 is nothing for a Flyff veteran. For a new player it's a lot! If any of them ends up affording that fee for one or two tries in the Kawi Bawi Bo, they run a serious risk of losing a lot (from their perspective) of money for nothing. And the Roll For Fun? Falling for the illusion of making money easily, they run a HIGHER risk of losing ALL their money in the blink of an eye! Then what do they do next? Beg for money. And can we blame them? Next thing, if they don't get the
money they asked for, they quit the game in frustration.How else can a newbie truly take advantage of this event without running a high risk of getting poor? Selling Snow Crystals. But really... really? With such a high drop rate, anyone who grinds won't even need to buy them. And the price of those will drop faster than the speed of light.Even for a newbie, selling Snow Crystals for 3,000~5,000 each doesn't makes this event better than it is.Pros and Cons - Review, TLDR style+Snow Crystals drop a-ton from masquerpets.+Easy to make stacks and stacks of Sprint Scrolls.+Chance to make a lot of money without fighting or merchanting.-High risk of losing cash quickly.-Snow Crystals lose their value quickly.-Prize list for the Kawi Bawi Bo is drastically worse than the two previous times. -Very hard to make profit out of the events.-Prizes and history of the events make it very unlikely to work as a penya sink.-New players can be easily deceived into wasting their low ammount of penya for nothing. Naughty Demian and the Mayor of Flarine...Joining forces to take money out of innocent newbies! Neutrality is no excuse to come up with a different review. Therefore my score for the event is...~Go For Broke~Score: 3.5/10
Click here for the official thread.With the White Day event continuing, we're having a week with 3 events!And not all of them will last only for a week.What are they all about?The White Day event is based in a japanese and south-korean post-valentines' eve (a month later), where males retribute the gifts received from their lovers with their own gifts, usually more expensive. The maniac-face demon-guy NPC was given a chocolate from the angel girl, much like the japanese valentines' tradition, and he thinks maybe he's supposed to give something to her as a sign of thanks, much like the real White Day. But is he going to give her a gift himself? Of course not! He's gonna ask YOU to collect the material and give it to her. Your prize will be a Black Ribbon that grants +5% running speed if your character is female, or a box containing 5 Spros, 5 Apros, a moonstone and a sunstone, all untradeable, if your character is male. You can also trade 500 of each material for a Corsage of choice, which is equipped in the hair, but occupies a mask slot.The ATK Power Up event is simply a boost in damage for everyone. Every character, from Lv1 to 139-H, will have their damage increased by 300.The Level Up event gives something else to look forward to while levelling. Reaching certain new levels with a character, starting on the date the event started, will earn you free prizes. Every prize lower than Lv60 is untradeable. Lv60+ prizes are tradeable unless it's specified they're not. Here is the list:Level 2: Scroll of Amplification ES20 x 1Level 5: Upcut Stone(Event) x1Level 10: Scroll of Amplification ES20 x3Level 15: Upcut Stone(Event) x1Level 17: Baby Tiger (1 day Event)Level 20: Scroll of Amplification ES40 x3Level 23: (Event)Syila Bike Box(7 days)Level 26: Scroll of Amplification ES40 x3Level 29: Bull Hamstern x3Level 32: Scroll of Amplification ES40 x3Level 35: FLY x3Level 38: Scroll of Amplification ES40 x3Level 40: Activition x3Level 43: Upcut Stone(Event) x3Level 45: Grilled Eel (Event) x2Level 47: Upcut Stone(Event) x3Level 50: Scroll of Blessing(Event) x2Level 55: Activition x5 + Upcut Stone(Event) x3Level 58: Grilled Eel (Event) x3 + Refresher Hold x3 + Vital Drink X x3Level 60: Extra Bag (15 days) x1Level 62: Raizei's Guardian Chest of Phat Lewt x5Level 64: Power Scroll x3Level 67: FLY x5Level 70: Azria Ticket (1 Day) x2Level 75: TurBo's Extremely Exquisite Historic Chest x5Level 77: Roanin's Magic Level Box x3Level 80: Special Cloak Gift Bag! x1 (UNTRADEABLE)Level 84: Remantis Laccotte x15Level 90: RabidFish's Uber Doober Angel Chest x5 Level 93: Remantis Laccotte x20 + Mysterious Bag x2Level 96: Raffle Box A x2Level 100: Rhisis' Blessed Treasure Box x2Level 103: Lucky Ring Chance Box x2Level 105: Cromiell's Legendary Golden Chest with HAWTSAUCE x 5Level 110: Redemption Scroll Box x1Level 114: Raffle Box A x3Level 117: Event Traseia(7 Days) x 1Level 120: Magic Scrolls Box x1 + Polynikes Victorious Glasses Box B x 3Level 123: Event Sunstone x15 + Event Moonstone x15Level 125: Super Star Candy x10Level 127: Champion's Precious Bead Box x1
+ Adept's Precious Bead Box x1Level 129: Little Lykan x1Level 133: Remantis Laccotte x99Level 135: Blessing of the Goddess x3 + Treasure Box x2Level 139: Elegant White Wings x1 What do I think about the events?Giving my opinion to the 'combo' as a whole, I think it's nice.The White Day event stays to give something to make profit, even if a small one. The ATK Power Up combined with the free Amplifications makes levelling from Lv1 to 60 really, really fast. My only complaint is how the inventory lacks space for all the rewards with the White Day quest drops taking 4 slots of the inventory. Still, it's no biggie.Some of the rewards can look 'meh', but you're getting rewards for levelling. It's a bonus nonetheless.Besides, you can always sell the items you don't want. Wings included.Pros and Cons - Review, TLDR style+White Day continues. Meaning people who like events they can make money of can be happy.+Upgrade items without spending up to 200m~300m in atempts, thanks to the White Day event.+Prizes for the Level Up event are very newbie-friendly. +If you wanted a new 2nd class, and were feeling lazy, now's the best time. ATK Power Up + Free Amps.+You're always levelling aren't you? For 3 weeks you'll be getting more than just status points!+No reason to halt your own levelling, since you're actually getting prizes for grinding. -If you're looking to save (Event) items to use them in the future, you might have problems with the inventory space, thanks to the 4 drops from the White Day + Level Up rewards.-Most of the highest level prizes aren't worth the effort.-ATK Power Up doesn't makes so much difference in the higher levels, except for DoT skills. -Prices for White Day quest drops are already about 1/5 of what they were in the beginning, and keep dropping.To wrap things up, my score for this event is...~White Day + Level Up Event & ATK Power Up~Score: 7/10
I have been to the v17 beta and seen enough of what was working on it. The 17th version update of the game didn't go live yet but I can't help but think of possible changes in future versions of the game.Well, being honest V17 didn't impress me so much compared to older updates.Judging from the changes and the road the game seems to be taking I feel like I could try to make some predictions for the heck of it.I'm not trying to predict for V18 necessarily.And my predictions for changes to the game in the future are the following in no real order:-Baruna awakening -> Unlike our current awakening system, using new cash items as an option for one thing or another.-Lower level Baruna gear -> Developers will atempt to make people ditch as many old version weapons as they can and motivate even lower level users to embrace the baruna upgrade system.-New low level instanced dungeons -> Because they have proven to refuse changing an old useless content (Dreadpets) and will rather add a new one to replace it.-No PvP balancement, ever -> They're aiming towards PvM content and PvM content only. Forget PvP balancement. Consider yourself lucky whenever they add more PvP content. Flyff isn't a hardcore competitive MMO.-Playable races (Muran?) -> Why do I believe so? Because it's already a tendency in colorful free korean MMORPGs to add cat or wolf-kin playable characters. And I doubt they care if PvP is ready for new races. Either way classes will most likely be the same we currently have, with a few different skills replacing others and MAYBE different stat modifiers.-New premium area with masquerpets up to Lv143.-A new continent, with a new town, and yet no masquerpets with level higher than 150.-A new instanced dungeon with a boss ranging between Lv155 and 160.-No raise in the level cap. -At least two new types of higher level sets (and weapons) -> One obtained throught an instanced dungeon, another obtained through an entirely new feature in the game.-A new conquering Guild feature. -> Other than Secret Rooms, there will be something new that Guilds will be able take over. One for each server cluster and obviously better than what the SR has to offer to the winner.These aren't my suggestions. It's my atempt to predict some changes. If I was make to suggestions I would be including event equipment and event bosses like in Monster Hunter, changes to some skills' effects, cooldown in remantis/holies or nerfed Asaalralaikun, etc... <:Anyway, I don't have a spy in GalaLabs or anything. I'm basing this in how other MMORPGs I used to play changed, and what tendencies Flyff seems to be following.When people make predictions they usually troll (luuul i predict more CS, more CS, and more CS $$$ and bugzz) or go biased.I hope that's not the impression I gave.Just felt like posting this. Event reviews all the time tires me. Starting my not-about-Flyff posts with this one. I'd like to talk about one particularly underated hardcore-friendly Wii game called Muramasa.I find it
really, really sad how so many people who own a Wii don't bother glancing twice at games that have no Nintendo logo. Even more those who won't bother purchasing a game that isn't 3D.Because those people will be missing games like this one.Muramasa: The Demon Blade ( ) is a game developed by Vanillaware and localized in the US by the team of Ignition Entertainment. I don't think there was a lot of advertisement for the game, but it was released in 2009. Only recently I gave it a try.More than just giving a try, actually. I'm trying to beat the game 100%.Considering this game is entirely based on the japanese culture and its somewhat mature (and big boobs), I'm surprised there have been games like these being localized. Surprised in a good way.Despide not having 3D graphics the game still has a rather good look. The animation and scenery give it a perfect 'cartoon' feel that just shows how it can be done without the ankward toon-shaded 3D games have been pulling off before the PS360 generation. Sadly Vanillaware didn't go so far with their artistic skills and pulled a Legend of Mana on us. If you have played Legend of Mana for the original playstation you should remember how most areas were almost exact copies of one another. You will experience the same in Muramasa, which is really disappointing. But I guess there is a nice excuse: The story takes place in the Tokugawa era, and the villages or forests wouldn't look so different from one another.So, area copy-pasting, lame? Sure is. But it worked well this time.If the graphics still won't amuse you, maybe the soundtrack will. Unless you just hate the whole 'old Japan'-esque music you will agree with me when I say Muramasa has one of the best soundtrack for the Wii. I don't need to say they suit the game well. No, you won't hear anything you'd expect to hear while watching a generic anime.The game has voice-overs in every dialogue. Not only the important characters but even the most random NPCs have their own unique voices. Still, that doesn't means you will get tired of that. Most of the dialogues are short, and in 'safe' areas you won't see more than 3 NPCs with 1~2 speeches.The audio is in japanese like you or not. And Ignition seems to have made a poor job at translating. Even if you don't know a single word in japanese you can tell they've shortened the dialogues a little bit too much by how long a character will talk after you're done reading. It also gives the impression the plot is too rushed when it isn't. Not that much anyway.Regardless, it's enough to let you enjoy the game and know what's going on.You get to choose between two characters, each with their own story. The region they start at differs, as well as the kind of blades they can obtain. One character is a fragile princess accidentaly possessed by a sarcastic and infamous swordsman, the other is a mysterious young
ninja who can't remember his past. There are multiple endings that can be unlocked by progressing with each character alternatively. Both characters are assisted by kitsunes during their journey, able to forge new types of blades in exchange of spirits and souls, and cook restorative food.Spirits are obtained by digesting food (using restorative items), and souls obtained through fighting or collecting in the areas you run by. (I found it rather amusing how you get to see the food being made or bitten when you cook any.)The game can be played with the regular Wii + Nunchuck, Classic Controller or even a Gamecube controller. It feels better to play it with a Classic, considering there is no waggling or usage of motion or aiming. There are two difficulties, Muso and Shura, which you could consider 'Easy' and 'Normal' respectively. Muso turns the game into another button-mashing fest, and Shura requires actual skill in every battle. So it's up to how you enjoy it the most. I stickied to the button-mashing and I still died a couple times in boss battles.Regardless what difficulty you choose, the control becomes totally familiar after a few minutes of gameplay. Don't let the tutorial scare you.There are a lot of blades which you can forge. Most of them have their own special effects and secret arts. A secret art is basically its special power which you can use at the cost of some of the sword's soul. Eventually the blade can break. No problem! Just unsheathe another one until it gets repaired. You can carry 3 swords at a time afterall.The moves you can perform with a sword are many, allowing you to achieve up to 3-digit combos before the end of a battle and reaching enemies quickly regardless of where they run off to. But don't think you can just slash through everything, some enemies will block your attacks and require you to use a little bit more strategy.Most enemies fight in groups, and the bosses are all huge and deadly, ranging from arrogant swordsmen to angry demons and divinities.Slaying them earns you experience points and money (in this case, mon and ryo) like in any RPG. But gladly there really isn't much need for grinding in this game. Even if you're a grind-addict like me you'll realise it doesn't takes long to get to the level you desire since the enemies will start giving slightly more experience.Also, unless you're playing on Muso mode levelling really won't make that boss you're struggling to beat a lot easier.The formula you follow to get to the end is really simple. Reach the boss, beat the boss, obtain the power to break a new barrier and that's it. There are a few optional challenges in areas known as Enemy Lairs along the way. The game itself is not very lenghty. Doesn't takes long to beat it.Even so, Muramasa is a great game without any of the tiring complications or insane lenght most hyped titles have. I can't recommend it as 'The Game' if you're looking for one, but I
certainly recommend it if you want to take a break of the usual overhyped 1st party games without having to purchase a first-person shooter. It's also a great choice if you're playing a certain game but could use a 2nd option to go to now and then.
There have been some weird things happening to characters in-game. The most common targets seem to be characters in well known Guilds.The Lawolf guild iCe was but one of the victims.Anyway, what I wanted to make sure to warn you... or maybe more like 'advise' you readers is... stay clear from your server's arena.But don't panic. The game masters are aware by now. As it says on this thread:http://flyff-forum.gpotato.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2781877 Momentos que nos surpreendem. Definitivos em sua essencia.Tornam-se eternos e plenos na magnitude do cosmo. Paradoxo da vida , da morte e do sentimento. Perenes enquanto incognita do ser, por nao poder ser transparente. Ser que se foi e deixou uma verdade para mim:Seja esta alegria espontanea. O que vale e ser e nao ter. Sorriso vale mais do que manifestar promessas em vao. Solidariedade e requisito basico daquele que faz sem querer nada em troco. Amor, entao, nao tem preco e nao se compra so pelo alimento de um dia.Seja o calor sentido na noite derradeira. Seja o amor contido no peito. Sejam as lagrimas so vertidas em sua intimidade.Nao tente provar "dor" maior para ninguem,pois que ela nao se mede no plano soberano do Senhor. Seja assim : Amor, humildade. Entenda o negro como seu irmao.No mundo do Criador nao tem divisoes. Somos todos iguais na vida e na extensao da morte.Em uma noite em que se comprova, que a inabilidade do controle de uma acao afirmativa de saude levou ao caos e ao caminho da eternidade, me permito a dizer:"Faca Senhor ter aos lares atingidos pela tempestade, a compreensao de que neste mundo nada somos , nao temos e tampouco somos ricos que inibam os pobres no recebimento de valores.Hipocrisia e sintoma de quem nao e feliz. Que se entupam de guloseimas, fiquem gordas e se entupam. Quem que no seu sorriso se esquece de saber quem e? Que desacordo com a vida provoca sentimentos inesperados , escritas estranhas , palavras chulas no vocabulario? Tera sido eu? Minha mente impregnada de dores e desesperancosa no culto de amor e respeito ao ser humano resvalado pelo esgoto fetido da alma amargurada? Incognito momento que nos arranca de nos mesmos e nos faz seres trangressores. Talvez aturdidos pela visao da face traicoeira do pseudo amigo esfumace o ser na nevoa do desconhecido. Se nao e confiar na mao, que se estende anonimamente para o retorno ao caminho com odor de flores, em constante transmudacao de estacao, perderia o sentido e nao saberia quem sou. Estoy muy triste. A saber. Nao consigo entrar no meu blog antigo. Alguem me ajude !!! E o litergirls. Ah neim ! Felicidade tem nome e sobrenome so nao tem atestado de bons antecedentes. Quero flutuar no universo, perceber as incoerencias e nao sofrer. Nao vale a pena. O ser humano e desumano ao encontrar os frageis de emocao e coracao. Eles usam, sugam e depois dao pontapes. O grande, o poderoso e aquele pelo qual todo respeito e reservado. So que esta grande figura e aquele que nao respeita, nao ouve, grita, despreza. Mas, nao quero imaginar
que apesar da dor registrada em nossa historia, aqueles que roubavam a alma das pessoas e se tornavam lideres totalitarios, se transvetiram de pessoas proximas a nos e que sao cultuados. Prefiro a minha ignorancia em continuar simplesmente amando, ainda que com lagrimas nos olhos e esta dor incomoda dentro de mim.
