Square Enix has opened a teaser site revealing that Dragon Quest VIII:
Journey of the Cursed King will be ...
Allods Online PH will definitely have the Fatigue system. At first, most in Allods NA thought that Astrum Nival, the game developer, was committing suicide by putting a rather large block infront of "adik" players. Eventually, players saw what it was, a way to earn extra EXP when they rested. Below is a comprehensive guide to Fatigue via the Allods NA forums.
While we wait for Allods PH CBT, most are looking for more info on the game--most of them are looking for the right builds. There are two sites that can tremendously help in making a character build for Allods Philippines.
There's been quite a lot of discussion on which is better: Pay to Play (P2P) or Free to Play (F2P). The P2P side is saying that it's nothing but Pay to Win just renamed as Free to Play. I tend to agree with them as for one needs to buy necessary requirements from the Item Mall (IM) to get the best equipment/fastest mount/strongest pet/exp modifier/best hp or mp pots/highest stats modifier.
Me and the Cave Troll go on a staring contest: Allods Intl CBT
The F2P side can say all they want, but unless thousands have reached the end game without paying one cent (without cheating that is) then we can safely say that F2P can be truly played from beginning to end game content.
The ship at the end resembles the one seen on Allods Online!
Now the question is whether the game will have it's server in the Philippines or will it be part of Global Level-up. If it's the former, then it would be great news for PH MMORPG fans as this game had quite a following internationally. If it's the latter then it may have competition with Mobius as they too sell Gpotato Points. Personally, I'm hoping for the former.
It's been a long time since Allods Online got a major update, hence the dearth in news about it lately, but an announcement on the main site lists down a lot of changes coming to Allods soon.
The changes will be as follows:
Players can now split items that are in stacks. “Shift+drag” will remove one item from a stack, “Ctrl+drag” will remove half the items from a stack, and “Alt+drag” will open a window that will allow players to remove a specified number of items from a stack
Players can now see the exact number of items that are in the trade window when trading with another player
Fixed a bug where items occasionally disappeared from the auction house
Players whose Flag of War was lowered before entering Purgatory will now exit Purgatory with their Flag of War lowered
Fixed a bug with the visualization of fatigue when a player’s Flag of War had been recently raised
Added the ability to respond to whispers. The default hotkey is “BACKSPACE”
Fixed various bugs involving the party and raid interface
Guild information is now displayed above players’ heads
Fixed a bug where players under the effects of a War Banner would not have their Flag of War raised when they attacked a player whose Flag of War was lowered
Fixed a bug where spells that had effects that last over time and area of effect spells would not raise a player’s Flag of War
Fixed a bug where the spells a player cast on themselves would refresh the duration of their Flag of War
Fixed a bug with the walking animation of Kanian females
Fixed a bug with the AFK animation of Elven females
Pets can no longer travel more than 70 yards from their master
Fixed the quest “Regular Customers”
Fixed the quest “Meeting the Seers”
Fixed the quest “Yasker’s Emissary”
Players can now fight the second boss in Gorluxor’s Tower
Added new training quests that allow players that have already begun constructing an Astral ship to practice on a special training ship
Improved the visualization of the League Astral ships
Fixed a bug with the distribution of loot from treasure chests
Fixed a bug where training quests could not be abandoned
Fixed the quest “A New Craft” for both the League and the Empire
Besides the bug and exploit fixes, there are two things I really appreciate in this soon-to-be update:
Ability to separate stacks: currently the players are having a hard time selling stuff on the auction house because of this problem.
Ability to respond to whispers via "backspace": no more "/whisper weirdname"
However, most people (including me) will be waiting for the mounts and the eradication of the Fear of Death from the game (it's already live in allods.ru)
Just because something seems good now doesn't mean it'll be good in a few weeks.
Always keep a positive outlook that things will change for the better, with or without that service/product.
Allods Online: Massive Multiplayer Online Fail?
Allods Online was to be one of THE BEST MMORPG OF 2010, until they unveiled the Cash Shop. Saying that the items for sale there is overpriced can be considered as a massive understatement. For example, a bag costs $20--$5 more than a monthly MMO subscription that offers everything.
The forum has been covered in flameposts and threats of boycotting that any questions about builds and questing questions are almost non-existent. Some of it's premier players have voiced out their disgust at the current events and are now contemplating of leaving the game (with their entire guild) entirely.
Buzz: Google's Waterloo?
Google Buzz was supposed to be one of the best social network services that will make Twitter/Facebook/etc. make a run for their money. But instead their lack of filtering features, user control, and security flaws have deemed it to be a failure. It's coincidental that Buzz was created in Waterloo, closely named in the phrase, "meet one's Waterloo": a word signifying a great test with a final and decisive outcome- usually a negative one.
Both situations are at their worst tight now, but we've all been through this before: a service starts good, but ends up worse. Yet there are some services/products that have gone through these things and ended up better than originally thought.
Let's give them both a chance to do a strategic retreat and recover their losses.
Congratulations to all who have defeated the Majestic Stag and the Troll. Here are more mini-bosses in Evermeet Isle to look for while farming reputation.
Elder Gray Owl
Grieving Banshee
Grasshoof
Bright Will-o'-the-Wisp
These images were taken last CBT when the population was down so it was easy to find them.
There's a reason why I didn't log in immediately when the doors of Allods Online opened a few hours ago, I knew it would be a race to the nearest mob and people would be fighting over Forest Adders and farming Plantain Leaves. The only way I was able to finish my quests was to party with Mages as they seem to have the ability to lure and kill mobs quickly.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like 7 hours after the OBT opening:
Soooo many people!
By the way, if you happen to be hunting for White-tailed Deers and happen to see this one: please don't hit it alone as I did.
That hurts
It's a Majestic Stag. It sent me to Purgatory after 2 hits.
This is just one of the many reasons why Allods Online will definitely be the MMORPG of choice for 2010. Click on the link below the vid for the second part of the video.
