Can En Masse really Make TERA a Clean Game by Blocking Half of the World's IP?

2012-02-01T19:36:00.002+08:00

"En Masse will block IPs based on region. Asia, Africa, Russia, and the Middle East are included on the block list. While we appreciate that there are players in these regions who would enjoy playing on En Masse servers, it's unfortunate that the vast majority of Internet traffic we see from these regions are from cyber-criminals relating to account theft, gold-farming and other hacking behavior."

Above was the statement En Masse made in response to the ip block that will be implemented in TERA North American servers. It's good to see that En Masse is seeking every means to protect the TERA community, but blocking half of the world's players from playing TERA might not be the best choice and it might not be able to keep TERA clean.

It's true that most gold farmers, botters, and spammers are from Asian countries such as China, but it's inappropriate and prejudiced to say that "the vast majority" of players from Asia, Africa, Russia, and the Middle East are "cyber-criminals". The reason why so many Chinese gold farmers in US and EU servers is that there's larger profit. Hiring some cheap labours in China to farm golds and selling them in the west for US dollars and Euros are something many people will do. On the other hand, there are a lot of legit gamers in Asia, Africa and Russia.

IP ban doesn't kill gold farming and bots. Nexon, known for blocking oversea IP, is still struggling for clean gaming environment. Because there are always ways to bypass the block by using vpn and proxy, and gold farmers and bot makers will find the way as long as there's profit, just see the bots in Dragon Nest and Vindictus NA. Besides, players from NA, EU, South America, and Oceania (these areas are not on En Masse's block list) aren't 100% legit ones.

Chronoscroll (tradable gaming time) is another thing that En Masse uses to counter illegal RMT and third party gold selling websites, but can it really keep the community health? Players who need golds can buy Chronoscrolls with real money and sell them in game for virtual money, but we'll see how it will affect the game's economy. A foreseeable thing is that rich fanboys can be very rich in game and those who want to earn their money from playing may suffer.

Are you for or against TERA NA's IP block? Will it make TERA a clean game?

Frankly, let's consider this a test phase with regards to the battle against any form of illegalities in-game. Although I admit that it is quite unfortunate that we Filipinos will not be able to play TERA, this actually is a double-edged weapon against us and the rest of Asia.

If TERA's regional IP block does result in a clean game, what does that say about us? It would imply that it is our fault that online games close, lesser and lesser people play, and customer service is as bad as your breath. It would lead to us getting crappy games in the future because of the way we play - relying heavily on hacking and other types of third party programs. What's worse, the current games we have could consider pulling out or completely shutting down their servers and just opt for the "clean" regions.

I'm not saying that that's what's going to happen. But of course, it is always a possibility, a worst-case scenario that we should all think about.

UPLB Band Segatron Pays Tribute to Alodia Gosiengfiao with Song “Hey Hey Alodia”

2012-01-19T09:35:00.002+08:00

People nowadays have always said how romantically sweet (yes, that's an exaggeration) it is when a guy pens a song for a girl.

There’s a band in UPLB (University of the Philippines Los Banos) that’s fanboying over famoust Filipina cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao. The title of their song is “Hey Hey Alodia” and its got a perfect mix of rock and rhythm and the singer sings just like another famour rocker geek – Coheed and Cambria‘s Claudio Sanchez. It was written and recorded by Segatron main man Silver Alcabasa with the help of guitarist Al Santillan as a tribute to the popular celebrity.

“Like any other boy who first saw her during adolescence, I really am a genuine Alodia fan,” explained the 20 year-old Alcabasa. “The song pretty much sums up all of us (fans). Haha!”

The video for “Hey Hey Alodia!” which was uploaded by Alcabasa on the night of January 15, 2012, is a simple slideshow of photos of Gosiengfiao layered over with the lyrics. The text on the description box for the Coheed and Cambria reminiscent (save for the autotune) song simply read “Hope this song reaches Alodia. OH INTERNET HELP ME!!!”

And reach the “Cosplay Queen” it did. At around 2:08 p.m. on Monday (January 16, 2012), Gosiengfiao herself shared the link to the video on her Facebook fanpage and Twitter account with a message that read “Wow!! An awesome original song by Segatron! LSS! Thank you guys!”

It was apparently an instant hit with fans, based on the comments YouTube users posted on the video page.

“SIMULA NG MAG ONLINE AKO KANINANG 3:30. ETO LANG PINAPAKINGGAN KO HANGGANG NGAYON. KAHAPON PA GASGAS UNG REPLAY BUTTON SAKEN E. HAHAHA. SANA MAY REPEAT BUTTON NA YUNG YOUTUBE,” said a fan who goes by the username “HEYHIGH5IVEE”.

Another user simply said, “kudos to the guys who make the song.”

Several others were one in saying that a real music video, with Gosiengfiao herself in it, be done for the song.

“Hey! Hey! Alodia” has, at the time of this writing, already garnered 27,517 views on YouTube in a matter of only four days.

“Honestly, hindi talaga namin in-expect ‘yan. It was intended to be just another Segatron song,” revealed Alcabasa, who is a first year music production student at the De La Salle-College of St. Benilde. “Ang wild, putek! Parang overnight lang. ‘Pag log-in ko the very next day, BAM! Hail the Internet!”

When asked what the band plans to do next, Alcabasa had this to say: “A lot of people have been asking for a music video featuring Alodia herself. Let’s just wait and see what happens.”

With one wish crossed off the list, Alcabasa and the rest of Segatron are yet again waiting for another one to hopefully come true.

This time, however, the band won’t be wishing alone

Razer's Project Fiona: A Tablet for PC Gamers

2012-01-11T14:20:00.000+08:00

Razer--generally known for its gaming peripherals--is working on a tablet called Project Fiona. Let's just file this under "wholly unexpected."

With smartphones and tablets becoming so popular, and more apps available than you can shake a stick at, mobile gaming is becoming an increasingly lucrative market. However, the problem is that most of the games being played on tablets and smartphones are of the casual variety. The mobile industry might have advanced to the point where we have quad-core phones and tablets, but hardcore PC gamers don't want to play Cut the Rope or Angry Birds.

At CES this week, peripheral maker Razer unveiled a concept that aims to change the minds of gamers unwilling to game on the go. Powered by Intel's Core i7 CPU, the tablet is dubbed 'Project Fiona' and is designed to play the most popular PC games of today with "an intuitive control setup for a phenomenal on-the-go gaming experience." Razer says that as a result of a partnership with Intel, Project Fiona is more akin to a fully functioning PC.

New Concept Makes Sense

Razer aims to adopt the same approach with Project Fiona--hence the code name, instead of a proper moniker. But where the Switchblade left me confused, Fiona makes a tantalizing amount of sense.

First, the hardware: Details are scant, largely because the prototype exists in something of a nebulous state. When I spoke with Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan late last week I was told that Fiona will be packing a Core-i7 Ivy Bridge CPU, a 1280-by-800 pixel resolution, and will support Windows 8.

The device will have a multi-touch screen, THX-certified speakers, force feedback support (with vibration motors in those controller arms), front- and rear-facing cameras, and a battery life akin to what you might expect from an Ultrabook, though we should likely lop an hour or two off for a focus on gaming.

Touchscreen Benefits

And then there’s the touchscreen. Like it or not, touch is becoming an increasingly important part of the modern computing experience. Windows 8 only makes the issue that much more pressing, with an interface wholly designed around you getting your hands on with your PC.

Razer's Gamble

As more touchscreen-equipped PCs find their way into our homes, it stands to reason that developers will see the light. And I’m willing to bet you’ll be hard pressed to find a PC that’s not an All-in-One in the next few years.

Razer is showing its cards early, but it’s a gamble the company is hoping will pay off. The logic is sound, and while the final product will ultimately depend on its performance, it’s an idea whose time has come.

"Project Fiona’s combination of high performance Intel-based gaming hardware and innovative tablet design is specifically focused for PC gamers. It will unleash the PC gamer to play their existing and future high-end games in one of the most exciting new form factors – a tablet," said Brad Graff, Director of Partner Marketing at Intel's Netbook & Tablet Group.

Razer didn't mention anything about a price or availability (considering Project Fiona is technically still just a concept, that's not surprising). However, the company did say that developer units will be made available soon, so this one may actually make it into production. Fingers crossed it does, and when that happens, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Dragon Nest Swordmaster Heraldry Plates Guide

2012-01-08T04:49:00.000+08:00

As requested by our friend Henry, here is a guide for all Dragon Nest Swordmasters who need help with the type of heraldry they should use for their character.

Just to remind everyone, Heraldries are not stackable. There are key names that heraldries have that may be different grades or levels. Even if you find them having different grades or levels, you cannot use the same type at all. When making a heraldry set, make sure to have the highest grade and level of whatever type of heraldry you want and pick out of the many types which ones you prefer.

There are more types of heraldries that here are slots, and your heraldry build will depend on your decision making skills in regards to that. Heraldry (and any item for that matter) range in rarity. Rarity is the grade heraldry comes in. The lowest grade is C which has the color green. The highest grade is A which is orange, B is blue.

Firstly, let’s talk about Stats-based Heraldry. The most important few plates would be

Fatal - Increases your Critical Chance by a certain amount. I believe all attack classes will use this plate as one of their 8 choices. Critical ignores defense, so that is what makes Critical so important. Magic SM need high critical chance to be effective.
Physical Attack/Magic Attack - Depending on the build you are using for your Swordmaster, pick one of them. Thisamplifies your attack stat by a huge margin. Being Hybrid, you can choose to use them both at the same time, but you would have to sacrifice another Heraldry for it.
HP - Increases your HP by a certain amount. Paladin with the Avatar skill can get his HP up to a very high amount, and this amount can be used to increase the amount of heal you do with your Heal skill. When you are using HP/Vitality equips, this plate will increase your HP by a lot more.
Bear/Wisdom – Increases your Strength/Intelligence Stat by a certain amount. Depending on whether you are going for Moon Lord or Gladiator, pick either one or both of them. Using this will increase your physical and/or magic attack by a good margin.

Subsequently, these are the possible plates that I would pick.

Vibrancy - Increases MP regeneration. Depends on your character if you have sufficient MP regeneration or not.
Vitality - Increases your Vitality Stat by a certain amount. This would increase a little of your HP and Defense, UNLESS you are using equipment that boost Vitality by a huge margin. Then, this plate will increase your HP by a huge margin.
Undaunting – Increases your Paralyze Resistance Stat by a certain amount. This reduces the chance of you getting hit to a state in which you won’t be able to move for a slight duration

When you are really rich, try to get yourself a 3-stat Heraldry Plate. If you have ever gotten one in CBT, you would have seen a Stat Heraldry giving you a random additional stat in it. When a good additional stat is imbued within a good Heraldry Plate, it would usually cost a bomb. Either use it, or sell it for gold!

As for Skill Plates, they are

Moon Light Splinter – Must-have for Magic Swordmasters. Pick the damage increase choice in the Heraldry Production. The cooldown for this skill is only 9 seconds! You will be able spamming this almost the whole time. In Time Acceleration mode, after using this skill once, you will be able to use MLS again in about than 1 second.
Crescent Cleave – Must-have for Magic Swordmasters. Pick the damage increase choice in the Heraldry Production. As mentioned before, 5 waves travelling through huge mobs will give a huge increase in DPS.
Half Moon Slash – Must-have for Magic Swordmasters. Pick the decrease cast time choice in the Heraldry Production. Also mentioned before, this skill has a long cast time so it is better to get this heraldry to prevent from getting interrupted easily.
Dash – Pick the damage reduction when dashing forward choice in the Heraldry Production. In case you don’t know, you can use tumble to avoid damage. You are invulnerable during the tumble animation so that is why in most videos, you see players using tumble whenever they will get damaged. Personally, I have not tried this heraldry yet but from what people say, when you are getting hit while dashing forward, the damage is reduced by a certain %. If I did not remember wrongly, it is either 40% or 60%.
Line Drive – For this skill, it depends on whether you want higher damage or faster cool down for the heraldry choice. If you’re a physical SM, spamming physical skills will be your main priority. Magic skills will be more on crowd control. Maybe the decrease cool down choice is better but I think most people choose the damage increase one.

RO2 Final Test Trial Report

2011-12-31T14:05:00.001+08:00

Ragnarok Online 2 (RO2) from Korea-based Gravity conducted its final test between Dec. 26 and Dec. 30, and is going to kick off the official OBT later. The game's success will rely on players' satisfaction. Before the final result is confirmed, Ragnarok Online fans can just appreciate the gameplay videos and screenshots regarding RagnarokOnline 2's final test.

Gameplay Videos:

This video mainly depicts how a swordsman does daily quests, at the end of which we can see an NPC teleport the character to the target city by air. During the flight, a bird's eye view of charming sceneries can be gained and the NPC would do various funny actions.

This video showcases the skills performed by the classes excluding the swordsman.

5 classes were made playable in the final test, and we can see from the unveiled screenshots that each class was capable of casting glorious skills. Players who joined the test said that Ragnarok Online 2 differed from its prequel very much no matter in the light of the graphics or the game mode. Ragnarok Online 2 is a brand-new game, and its greatest feature is that once selecting an NPC, players will see a close-up of the NPC's head. The combination of stirring actions and beautiful sceneries just leads to the game's unique charm.

Ragnarok Online 2 has been developed for 4 years by use of Unreal Engine 2.5 and inherits the advantages and features of its prequel Ragnarok Online, and is attached with unique personalities and new fun. According to understanding, the final test was targeted at all users with substantial content updated.

Dragon Nest Mercenary Heraldry Plates Guide

2011-12-30T15:13:00.000+08:00

In Dragon Nest, apart from the class skills, a player also has to consider the kind of Heraldry plates that he will use. Heraldries are special plates with endowed stats that help boost your character’s performance in PvE and/or PvP. They have a range of enhancements from class skill boost, status boosts, and special skills.

the heraldry set is pretty organized and is broken up by type and level. Level in this case does not refer to the level of the heraldry plate but instead your level.

A Dragon Nest Character has Heraldry slots. Each slot, at the beginning of the game is locked, and while leveling up, each slot will slowly unlock.
Refer to the picture for the exact level needed to unlock that particular heraldry slot.

As each slot unlocks, you are allowed to put heraldry in that slot.

Heraldry can be found in dungeon instances, Dark Lair, or other users. Each Heraldry Plate is locked and untradeable until unlocked and gives the choice between two effects when unlocking it except Special Heraldry. Special Heraldry only gives one effect.
Since I am not fond of PVP, it is only natural that I get plates that would be helpful in PVE, namely in dungeons and nests (Manticore is still the bane of my Dragon Nest life).

Firstly, let’s talk about Stats-based Heraldry. The most important few plates would be

Fatal - Increases your Critical Chance by a certain amount. I believe all attack classes will use this plate as one of their 8 choices. Critical ignores defense, so that is what makes Critical so important.
Destruction – Thisamplifies your Physical Attack stat by a huge margin.
HP – Increases your HP by a certain amount.
Health – Increases your VIT by a certain amount.
Bear – Increases your Strength Stat by a certain amount.

Subsequently, these are the possible plates that I would pick.

Energy – Increases MP regeneration. There are times when I often run out of MP after spamming my skills through dungeons. This plate helps me to continue attacking without worrying.
Ultimate – Increases your Final Damage Stat by a certain amount. This is to help increase your DPS. To determine whether you think the bonus is helpful or not.
Magic Defense – At higher levels in PvE, most of the damage that you will get hit with is magic. You will be able to dodge physical damage skills relatively easy. So this crest can be helpful for you given the fact that Mercenaries have many defensive skills as well.

Taunting Howl – Pick the debuff time extension choice. This is more for Support-based Mercenaries.
Battle Howl - Pick the buff time extension choice. This is more for Support-based Mercenaries.
Panic Howl – Pick the buff time extension choice. This is more for Support-based Mercenaries.
Iron Skin – Pick the buff time extension choice. This is for those who want better defensive abilities.
Whirlwind/Rolling Attack – Pick the damage increase choice. These two skills have very high damage. Use both of them to increase your DPS. But do remember that both skills have long cooldown. Perhaps a damage crest on another skill can be more helpful in more DPS?
Side Kick – Pick the action speed increase choice. This is more on Mercenaries who prioritise PvP.
Flying Swing – Pick the cooldown reduction choice. For Destroyers who wants higher damage.
Bone Crash – Pick the debuff time extension choice. The debuff benefits your party to increase the overall DPS greatly. Having this plate is very useful also.

Anything that benefits your team is a must, in my opinion. But generally buffing your whole team/protecting your whole team is way more important than something like Flying Swing Damage. You want to make sure your casters will take minimum damage and your party deals optimal damage.

Heraldries, to be clear, cannot stack. There are key names that heraldries have that may be different grades or levels. Even if you find them at different grades or levels, you cannot use the same type at all. That's why when making a heraldry set, be sure to have the highest grade and level of whatever type of heraldry you want and pick out of the many types which ones you prefer.

Game of Thrones RPG Trailer, Details Finally Out

2011-12-22T14:38:00.000+08:00

We’ve heard lots of rumors, but very little concrete information about the Game of Thrones RPG until today. Cyanide studios released some choice tidbits of information along with a new trailer showing the game in action.

Game of Thrones, the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 RPG due out early 2012, is being built by Cyanide Studio using Epic's Unreal Engine 3, publisher Focus Home Interactive has revealed.

It's based on the series of novels A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin - the inspiration behind the HBO TV series. The game's story is written "under the supervision" of R.R. Martin.

You play as Mors, sworn brother of the Night's Watch, and Alester, a Red Priest in search of redemption. The pair adventure in familiar parts of Westeros, such as the Wall and King's Landing. You get to meet Queen Cersei, Varys the Spider and Jeor Mormont, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Expect 30 hours of gameplay.

At the beginning of the game you choose the class of your characters and determine their fighting style. As with all good RPGs there's equipment to loot, weapons to find and experience to gain. You can slow down time during combat.

It was hardly the trailer we were hoping for, but it’ll do for now. It’s over two minutes long, but includes next to no gameplay footage. And the footage that does come from in-game play is just a character running in a perfectly straight line in a few different settings. For a game that’s due out in “early 2012” that’s a bit concerning.

Ragnarok Online 2 (KR) to Kick off Final Test on Dec. 26

2011-12-21T23:26:00.002+08:00

As announced, Ragnarok Online 2, a highly-anticipated project developed by South Korea-based Gravity, is going to carry out its final test from Dec. 26 to Dec. 30.

The final test is to be focused on testing the various systems to be made available when Ragnarok Online 2 is commercially released as well as the server stability. A wide array of great prizes will be offered for testers when the time comes, like "5 million won" which is enough for one term's college expenses, coupons worth 100,000 won, and some commemorative virtual items.

At this year's G-Star, Gravity disclosed that Ragnarok Online 2 was expected to start commercial service in South Korea in Q1, 2012 with the goal of entering certain overseas markets in 2014. According to Gravity, the game has been licensed to 10 countries, and the localization work can start at any time.

The current Ragnarok Online 2 is a remake of Ragnarok Online 2: The Gate of the World which experienced a heavy blow in CBT May, 2007. The in-game systems, character appearances and so on have been revamped comprehensively. Ragnarok Online 2's second CBT took place in August, 2010. And now the remade Ragnarok Online 2 is finally going to be officially released. But how the players react to the game will decide whether the remake is successful or not. Will it write a new chapter on the market or be discarded by players? Let's just wait and see.

2011-12-21T23:15:00.001+08:00

It is perfect time to join Ragnarok Adventure as well as the perfect time to return for the Holidays as Ragnarok Online launches the highly anticipated massive expansion episode update 14.1 Bifrost. This expansion opens a new chapter in the New World Saga, bringing adventurers face to face with Nidhoggur and the plight of her people. Unique daily and arc quests as well as new monsters await our higher level adventurers in the Bifrost.

The 14.1 Bifrost expansion includes:

Expansion to the New World story.
2 New Instances.
New Equipment sets for High Level Warlock and Arch Bishops.
New fearsome mobs to challenge high level Players.

Detail information about the expansion can be found here.

SYNOPSIS

1000 years of peace have reined, the world has forgotten the horrors of the age of myth. Such peace can never last forever and evil waits patiently. The first signs of the evil awakenings were the friendly monsters turning aggressive; followed soon after by demons attacking and the dead rising from their graves. Heroes appeared to beat back the invasions until the fateful day that Satan Morocc destroyed the peaceful town of Morroc, his freedom granted by the insane and corrupt humans of Midgard. The heroes re-gathered themselves and pushed back with everything they had but only a stalemate was possible. The delicate seals that protect the world from spilling into complete chaos weaken and break; only the knowledge and power from the age of myth can save Midgard from certain doom. Are you one of the heroes of legend? Can you and your allies push back the threat of total annihilation and protect Midgard from the final Ragnarok?

To aid new adventurers in Ragnarok, Gravity is hosting a level up event to help players reaching to base level 70 and 1st Job 50 much faster than normal! This event is to help players to get up to speed and explore 14.1 contents and join their friends at the higher levels of play.

Whether you are a brand new Ragnarok player looking to join or a returning hero ready to come back, the newest 14.1 Bifrost expansion with variety of events and bonuses offer a great deal of action and fun!

Mythos Global Review: Redeemed?

2011-12-19T00:19:00.000+08:00

From T3 Entertainment, Mythos brings the highly successful “Hack’n’Slash” formula to an action packed online role-playing game. The comparison to Diablo, Torchlight and Titan Quest should be very familiar to anyone. Combat, skills, stats, leveling systems, inventory and many more features of Mythos will be very familiar to people who’ve played these kinds of games before.

Like any other MMO worth its salt, the game’s lore is set against the backdrop of an ancient war – yada yada – and players are tasked with picking their path by choosing from one of the games races and skill-sets.

Mythos’ races are made up of four character types – Humans, Cyclops, Gremlins and Satyr – each with their own bonus skills depending on your play style.

These are further broken down into three classes – Pyromancer (Mage-style class with spells), Bloodletter (warrior-style melee fighter) and Gadgeteer (riflemen (and women) capable of tinkering-up toys of destruction).

Hardly an overwhelming selection, but assuming it’s done right, more than enough to create the variety and balance needed for the PVE and PVP gameplay on offer.

Without wanting to use the terms ‘hatchet job’ or ‘cut and shut’, there’s no avoiding the fact that, while Mythos has some pretty cool ARPG core, the MMO elements like the crafting system and micro transaction-powered item shop system do seem to have been ratcheted on like the rear end of a 1998 Ford Mondeo.

The two sides of the game simply don’t gel and instead of creating an experience greater than the sum of its parts, the game is a collection of component parts thrown at the screen like a very confusing digital jigsaw.

The game world is split up into quite small towns and villages which are connected by portals or skyship transport that load you into the new area. Most of these places have a dungeon portal that will take you to the various dungeon instances, which quests will direct you too. Quests are obtained using the “Talk to an NPC with a floating exclamation mark above their head” mechanic favoured by most MMOs. The quality of quests during the low levels were pretty good and they felt less of a grind. Sure most were kill and fetch with some nice low level bosses. but I didn’t get any ridiculous demands like “collect 20 wolfpelts” or send you to the same boar inhabited forest every time like in other Online MMORPG Games. Instead the dungeons you were sent to varied a lot, something I appreciated since it would have been easy for a Dev team on a free to play MMO to use the same template over and over for filler quests. Also to prevent having to travel back and forth from dungeons each time, around 3 NPCs would be offering slightly related quests but with different objectives around the same time for a particular dungeon. As good as the quest system is though, I found through research that end game content is basically more of the same but bosses with high HP count. I’m not convinced this will be enough for some.

Combat itself was tons of fun, I was running through the dungeons shooting and looting like a madman. That to me is the hallmark of a good Action RPG, fast and addictive combat and piles of loot. As you would expect then from a game of this style, combat is done with left mouse click for normal attack and right mouse click for your special attack and that is it. You can get different special attacks from certain weapons or investing skill points to unlock new skills during level-up. This will be different to some who are use to an action bar with 10+ different attacks you can use when you like. Not everyone likes having such a simple system but fans of games such as Diablo 2 will have no problems with it.

To add a little more depth to the combat and skills system, weapons can be upgraded with rune slots, which as you may guess allows you to add runes that modifies character and weapon stats. Mythos also uses an achievements system with a purpose. Each achievement has a bonus like 3% to health, though only one achievement can be active at a time. The achievements help add another option to tailoring your character build, but I must admit even with these features Mythos lacks the kind of depth in building a character up that you would get in other MMORPG Games.

The other main game play feature is an extensive crafting system, that allows the player to create better and sometimes unique equipment. The basis of crafting is materials and recipes, both of which are dropped by monsters with materials also being gained from breaking down looted equipment. Crafting is a chance based affair, where there is a risk the item will break and fail during creation. Once you have an item you can improve it further in different ways, by merging them with items to improve its power, adding rune slots or by enchanting. Again there is a risk the item will break during refinement but luckily you can get it repaired again for a price. It’s a nice addition that adds to looting aspect of the game, giving you something more involved then just dumping cheap loot on the nearest merchant.

Crafting items brings me to the Free to Play model of Mythos. There is an item shop that has the usual annoyance of requiring you to buy in-game currency first instead of directly paying through the shop. In this case the currency is known as Bones, with Bones you can buy the usual Free to Play premium items like extra inventory space, XP gain boosters and of course equipment that is unobtainable through normal game play.

Pros

- Simple yet addictive combat
- Good quest variety
- Interesting class system

Cons

- Need to enjoy Action RPGs
- Lack of quality end game content
- Shallow Character building options

Dragon Nest: Manticore Nest Guide

2011-12-16T10:25:00.000+08:00

Dragon Nest SEA has released level 40 patch. This means that Manticore Nest is now available for level 40+ players. Here is a guide to help all players in surviving this latest dungeon.

Stage 1: Rotten Rock Demon

The 1st stage has a relatively small area, with various rock demons of various elements appearing. Eventually, the main green demon boss will spawn in the middle.

This should be a relatively easy stage, but take note of these pointers:
1、You have to drag the mobs to the sides and kill them, if not they will be healed by the statue in the middle. The amount healed is quite huge, so the battle can be quite tough if you didn’t lure them away from the middle.
2、When the boss releases a green array on the ground, prepare to dodge away from the area. If not, the array will trap you at that position and be prepared to be hit by the surrounding mobs.

Tips
- Kill mobs then mini boss will appear.
- Lure the Mini boss away from middle statue.
- The middle statue heals surrounding mobs.
- Time stop works on mini boss but not freeze.
- Frozen still stacks for damage multiplier.

PS：Cleric’s shield block is useless here. With it active, you will still be trapped. And few hits from the mobs will remove your block in no time.

Stage 2: Minotaurs

This stage is relatively easy too. When you get in the arena, one of the gates will be opened while the minotaur inside will be charge out to attack. After a certain time, another gate will be opened and the next minotaur will be released. This will continue until all the minotaurs are out.

I would suggest to kill off the smaller minotaurs before heading for the main Boss, but if you can kill them fast enough, just kill whatever comes first.

The only special thing to note：The minotaurs can use various skills to increase their defenses, for both physical and magic. These buffs can be removed by Merc’s silence, or be lightened by other armor reducing skills like Paladin’s Armor Break.

Tips
- Try to kill as fast as possible. Minotaur Knight has buffs which can increase their damage resistance.
- Try to keep each Minotaur in their own section in case your damage isn’t enough, you don’t want them buffing each other.
- Merc can remove their buffs.
- Frozen status doesn’t work on the Minotaur Knight.
- Time stop works.

Stage 3: Medusa

Compared to the previous 2 stages, this stage can be considered as one of the harder ones.

The area is made up of 5 big squares, forming a “+” shape.

In the middle square area, you can see that there are 4 different coloured cubes stuck inside the ground, being Green, Red, White, and Yellow.

Whenever the Medusa boss raises her weapons, the screen will have a hint stating that the ground will be shifted within 5 seconds.

Then, one of the cubes will start hovering in the air.

The square area that is the closest to that hovering cube, will be the “Safe Area”. Even though you will still be damaged by the Medusa’s blade attack, this “Safe Area” regenerates your HP for 2-3 times. Your HP recovered will definitely exceed the damage done by the boss, so no worries.

As for the other 3 areas, you will be attacked by the blade attack without any regenerating heals. Paladins and SMs can use their various block skills to defend this blade attack, so they won’t need to dash to the “Safe Area”.

Be careful of this global blade attack. For female classes without good defense equipment, be prepared to die instantly if you don’t get to the “Safe Area”.

Tips
- There are crystals in the middle of the stage.
- The ground shifts when you see Medusa raising her weapons, also there is a notification count down.
- Immediately go to the crystal that is elevated, the area next to that crystal will recover your hp, much more than what Medusa can dish out.
- Tanks should maintain agro while dps take them out from range.
- Time stop works on Medusa.

Stage 4: Rock Golem

This stage consists of a huge Stone Boss, accompanied by various small stone demons.

These stone demons will not attack, neither can they be damaged if the 2 dark crystals beside each of them are not destroyed yet. Similarly, if these small stone demons are not killed, the Stone Boss will have a blue protective aura that makes it invulnerable.

So, just kill the small stone demons asap then approach the main Stone Boss.
From time to time, the main Boss will resummon the small stone demons. At this point of time, the dark crystals won’t be recreated. Simply kill the smaller stone demons and head for the boss again.

Everytime the boss resummons the smaller stone demons, various food will be created at the area of spawn. These regeneration/buff potions include HP, MP, Damage, and even rotten potions (potions that reduces your HP/MP/stats) too!

When you’re eating the food, be careful that the food is actually the fresh one and not the rotten one. Also, the boss will throw stones from time to time, and has a long range rolling attack which can be quite fast.

Tips
- Break those Dark Crystal statues.
- Pewpew mobs and then the boss.
- If you don’t kill boss fast enough, more mobs spawn.
- Those mobs drop recovery items.

Final stage: Manticore

Do you still miss the Manticore Boss from the Prayer’s Resting Place? Now it has evolved to a black demon with various strong attacks. However, it can be an easy boss to deal with.

During the early stage, the Manticore will only use several basic attacks. Only after being reduced by 1-2 HP bars, then it will start casting various power moves. When it reaches the 2nd last HP bar, its frequency of attack will increase too.

These are the basic attacks of the Manticore:

Back Tail Sweep: The boss will simply sweep his tail and to hit any enemies at his back. Don’t ever stay at the back of the Manticore. This attack can be quite painful.

Claw Swipe: Similar to the claw swipe from Cerberus, however the frequency of attack won’t be as high as Cerberus. Just time your blink/tumble well and you should be fine.

Energy Ball: The boss will just throw a huge black ball in front of him. As long as you stay close to the boss, you won’t be hit.

Diving Attack: The boss will fly up the sky. When the boss HP is still high, after flying up the sky, it will start flapping its wings 3 times. After the 3rd flap, prepare to jump to avoid the ground attack. However, that’s not all. Several spikes will be created around the boss, so remember to use your tumble/blink to evade. You can jump to evade too. If you’re lucky, these spikes won’t hit you.

Alternatively, you can drive up your PC volume during the gameplay. When it is about to dive down, there will be a significant sound.

When the boss HP reaches 3 bars and below (to be confirmed), it will not dive down from the sky immediately after its flight. It will cast various Energy Balls to hit the ground. So please don’t blindly follow your team mates as you may die instantly from the attacks. Just move away from the balls. After this onslaught, it will flap its wings 3 times again before coming down.

When the Manticore has only 1 HP bar left, there will be some purple arrays shown on the ground before the Manticore decides to dive down, in which several flame demons will spawn and fly in some random direction. Just be careful not to get hit by them.

Front Pounce: When the boss has locked on to one of the players, and that player is far from it, it will do a pounce like what you see in Cerberus Nest. Just blink/slide/tumble or move away.

Power Stomp: The boss will raise both of its claw high while emitting a bright glow out from the claws. It will cause an earthshake while generating 4 blade waves spreading out of him. Just jump right before it stomps the ground, followed by a tumble/slide/blink.

Black Hole： The boss will raise one of its paws at this point of time. It will emit a slight red aura while creating a black array in front of it. Just continue moving away from that array and you should be fine. ELs can use Flame Road, Warriors can dash, others can simply unstance and walk.

The damage of this skill may be quite low, but clerics have to take note. The numerous small hits will remove your Block buff in no time.

Tornado： Several large tornadoes will be created in front of the Boss after it raise both of its paws. This time, there won’t be a glow emitting out from it. Subsequently, the tornadoes will fly outwards. It should be relatively easy to dodge. Just move away from them. The damage can be quite high.

Gravity Field： Incredible damage with superb AOE. Without a decent HP, you can die instantly from it. The boss will create 3 black arrays around him, but there will be safe areas in between these arrays. Just get to the safe areas and continue attacking.
**Take note that staying near the boss at all times is the best way to be safe.

Tips
- Does various attacks during certain life bar, all of which are pretty much straight forward to avoid.
- Manticore boss has a diving attack while its flying which is a two stage attack, it send a shock wave to the entire area and then produces spikes around it. Best way to avoid is to jupm and then Evade (sidestep, blink, tumble etc)
-While flying the boss can Cast Gravity Balls and Hurricane

Gravity Field
-Certain safe areas around the boss. Mainly on its side
-Can K.O is HP pool is low

Pounce
-Easy to avoid
-Tanks should grab agro after boss does this skill

Dragon Nest: Apocalypse Nest Guide

2011-12-14T12:54:00.000+08:00

Now that we are going to drift far from the Level 32 world of Cerberus and Minotaur, Dragon Nest brings another Nest to conquer and brag about the moment we finish it: Apocalypse Nest!

Initial reports of metallic materials were discovered in the Foothills of Black Mountain… Followed by sightings of a creature with glowing eyes moving along the shadows.

We have confirmed our suspicion…A creature of great evil is descending upon Lagendia: Judge Apocalypse.

Walk through for the Apocalypse Nest:

The white ghost sometimes acts weirdly in judgment, skills cannot hit it every time. Generally, it is easy for players to pass this stage, as long as they pay attention to getting away from the boss’ chasing eyeballs. Don’t face the boss directly, just stand with your back towards it and you won’t be hit by its chasing eyeballs.

First Stage: The ghost is afraid of light. This stage is somewhat similar to the first one. If only players are careful to the boss’ sickles, which can easily interrupt skills, they are able to pass this stage with ease.

Second Stage: 5 Black Fog bosses are waiting for you there. Deal with them along with your party members to clear this stage.

Third Stage: Your primary enemy here called the The Spirit. AOE skills may ensure that no little spirits can disturb you. If you have a priest in your party then you clear this stage facing the boss head on.

Fourth Stage: This stage consists of spiders and cobwebs, having Elemental Lord in your party gives you the edge and having a priest may boost greatly your chances of not dying. Spiders can be damaged by fire spells considerably.

Last Stage: Here you will find the Thunder Beast. The boss will bump you at first and then generate electric current. You can only avoid it when standing right in front of or behind the boss. You must get close to the boss when it takes out things from its mouth, otherwise, you will be badly injured. To deal with the boss’ jumping cleave, jump at an opportune moment in defiance of the small electric pole.

Next, it is the real smasher, the final boss in the Apocalypse Nest.

A lot of players complained that the final boss is the hardest in the Apocalypse Nest, but other bosses are easy to cope with. Nevertheless, in my eyes, compared with the previous bosses, the final boss is as weak as a dog or a cat.

The final boss’ skills generally include: roar, bomb once at a fixed location, rotate jumping cleave 3 times, surrounding laser light, rotary rays, thrust forward claws attached with 2 light rains sometimes, bomb 3 times at a fixed point and distribute paws when only 2x HP bars are left.

Bomb

This skill can deal very high damage, but it is often cast after the boss roars or thrusts forward claws. To defeat the final boss, all classes should move constantly rather than stick to one place. Don’t think you will be safe outside the pink area. This skill is determined by your position and its effective range seems strange. Even though you have a distance from the pink circle, you are likely to be hit. Therefore, move from time to time and don’t crave for more damage, or else you will be beat painfully.

Rotate

The boss will perform some actions before rotating. It is easy to avoid. The boss won’t let off its hatred to a fixed target, instead, it aims at a person randomly. Again, don’t crave for more damage, or else you will be beat painfully.

Jumping cleave 3 times

Since you go to challenge the Apocalypse Nest, certainly, the Lion Scorpion is not a problem for you. You can dodge this skill without effort. I think this skill is used too infrequently, twice at most or even never in a fight.

Surrounding laser light

Pay attention to the boss’ paws, don’t stay where its paws have gathered, because you will be hit easily. I haven’t found any prepositional actions before this skill, but it’s not difficult to dodge. Even if you are hit, you can get rid of it with a flash. Being attacked once will reduce your 2000 HP.

Bomb 3 times at a fixed point

When the final boss flies and emits pink rays, disperse quickly instead of continuing to deal damage and run in the form of A. If you are hit once, you will be attacked continuously and 30,000 HP will be lost at a time. Once again, don’t crave for more damage, or else you will be beat painfully.
