Glitch in The Matrix:

Horizon:

Seem like the new map texture is overlay over the old map texture, I was able to see some structure wall under the Drake Nest when my game client start giving problem. Last time we also use to drop below the floor of Merac Jail when we enter, but I am not sure if we would travel back in time if we drop from new map to old map.

They had extended the Anniversary Event for another week, more cake farming for all players. I was surprised that a lot of players didn't know that we are able to save the location of Lust Trum Level 8 on Memory Scroll, I also discover it by chance when I was exploring with my Specialist Fire Wind before the migration.

Now most of the players just follow a linear path in game and keep repeating the same stuff over and over again, they lack the curiosity to explore and discover new stuffs. It is not like the old days where one player bring up a doubt in the forum and the remaining of the players communities will start to try out different type of game play and then provide the communities with vast amount of details information which will benefit all.

Aphelion:

Everything seem to go on as usual, notice a new Training Game Sage named Mine Lyric just join the team. I manage to met him at Four Realms when he accept the Boss Recall when I spawn the Realm Champion, a lot of players, Game Sage and Game Master had done so over the weeks.

He start telling me that I am not allow to use pet to kill mob, I start to raise doubt about it. I explain to him that I am not doing it AFK, I still have to open Easter Egg to prevent my inventory from getting full. I also have to activate my buffs every few minutes, I even have to response to Boss Spawn every once in a while.

Last time we have to answer math question, and most Game Sage and Game Master will initiate a Chat, a Party Request or a Trade Request to see if the player is AFK. The Game is design this way with Pet AI and Boss Spawn, so if it is not allow they should have completely remove it long time back. This show that he does not really understand the game design at all, so I ask him to consult other Game Sage or Game Master before jumping into conclusion.

He seem like he is unable to reason with me, so he decided to spawn a lot of Realm Champion on me. It is not really an issue for me as the Stun is able to be remove by Curse Removal Scroll and I got a lot of it. It will really be an issue for most players if it was Decendor of the Devil or Poseidon as they got Stone which cannot be remove by Curse Removal Scroll.

After watching me manage to kill all the Boss he spawn, he decided to leave me alone.  There are also Care Package at Juno and Merac so I just teleport back to town to get it, a player named Last game also need help locating the Orge Supervisor in Four Realms so I check my note and give him the Co Ordinate.

I kind of lose the mood for farming and decided to switch toon for Immortal Boss, not sure what is the final outcome of his discussion with other Game Sage and Game Master. But I hope they would be fair enough to accept my explanation about the game design and the function of the game mechanics, it is the only thing that make this game unique and enjoyable as compare to other game.
 

Karma Kama:

 Horizon:

A series of unfortunate incidents, suddenly everybody lost their costume. It create a lot of unhappiness even though it only last for a short period of time, it had cause the lost of trust among players and seem like a lot of them decided to stop buying Fawkes Crystal. Monkey had been trying to buy stuffs from Item Mall for few days without luck, he had raise price from 50M to 60M and still not getting any response.

The launcher also stop working for Windows 7 and 8, they are going to lose a lot of players because of it. I was remove from their Discord Channel again, it had been so for the past 5 months. I decided not to join back as it is just a trick to fake that a lot of new players are joining them but it is in fact all the old players. Since I am still able to get the information on events from Light Bringer Guild Discord Channel, and there are nothing interesting to discuss with other player on their channel. 

They had make some changes on the recent patch, one of the interesting one is the Horse Buff is change from Attack and Defense to Hit Rate and Evasion. That goes to show how much they don't understand about the game, P1 Pet is suppose to be for low level newbie and there is P2 Pet for the Hit Rate and Evasion Buff. Level 10 Buff is still the same duration, but Level 11 Buff is increase to 30 mins and Level 12 Buff is increase to 60 mins.

There had been a trend on most server, players are trying to buy stuffs at half the market price or less and trying to sell stuffs at twice the market price or more. They always broadcast at Trade Channel thinking that they are offering a good deal but end up being ignore by most players, so they are having a very hard time finding the stuffs they need.

If they really need the stuffs they will have to buy it from Trading Agent at a higher price, while Trading Agent is suppose to be cheaper as it allow price comparison. So in the end most players are wasting their time setting up shop in Merchant Mode and end up selling not much stuffs as there are not much gold left on the server.

Had seen Spam Bot few week ago, but even them also think it is not really worth the effort as the server are dead. Now it is only down to the few regular players and the community had shrink to half or a quarter of what it use to be since the migration. At the rate it is going, we might not have another Anniversary Event next year.

Aphelion:

Manage to get 300K of Pre Release Token and the new patch is not ready, hopefully it will be able to trade for better stuffs as compare to the previous event. A lot of new players had joined, and had been helping them since there are not much to do. Most of them doesn't know about Premium Character benefit, Four Realms Quest, Extreme Juno Rune and P2 Pet, I try to help as much as I can and there are a lot of other players who are helpful.

Piece of Cake:

 

Horizon:

They start Anniversary Festival, instead of the usual mob dropping Ingredient for Cake and Candle they drop Piece of Cake. The Giant Cake is replaced by a Cake Girl NPC and it is able to trade Piece of Cake for rewards as follows:

100 for AGR (500M)

5 for Strong Med (25M)

3 for Medium Med (15M)

30 for Socket Reset (150M)

15 for HS5 (75M)

10 for Affinity Seed (50M)

15 for Candle (75M)

From the amount of Piece of Cake require for the reward, it show that the value for it is about 5M each. A lot of players are not happy with the rewards as a few of them seem repeated from Christmas event. But I still consider it to be a good move as any event is still better than no event at all, at least they are making an effort to create new event which are different from the usual and the rewards are better compare to those old event.

 What I still doesn't like about it is the way they keep boosting about how much improvement they had made and how many bug they had fixed. But whenever something went wrong, they will find a lot of excuse to avoid responsibility. So far I still did not see any effort put into the management, most of the event are not properly plan and tested before they execute it.

They still care more about they own family time and treat it like a regular job, but as compare to other game publisher they either had some staff to resolve the issue at odd hour or dedicate the responsibility to Game Sage which will be spending more time in game to help other player. Their inability to trust Game Sage and want to be in control of most stuff had been causing a lot of agony to both party, Game Sage had become a role where most player can do to just give suggestion to improve the game.

 The drop rate for the Piece of Cake is low, and the buff for 100 Cake is not that good. A lot of player had decided to give a pass for this event and we had seen the server becoming less and less populated. Those player who use to gain advantage and having status will soon be playing all by themself soon enough if the game is unable to attract more new player to join.

Aphelion:

Nothing much had been going on, been farming for Easter Egg and Pre Patch Token as usual. Notice that Monkey D Luffy had join, give him a Shiva Pet. It is good to see that good player like him and Legolas are enjoying the improve version of the game, hopefully the same improvement will be able to other server in time to come.

Expansion:

 Horizon:

Manage to get my Holy Bless Toon to Level 150, decided to do an expansion since I got some 30 Days Character Expansion cheap. Told Hans Solo that I need the Level 120 Jump Box, he had to level to Level 50 for the Merchant Profession so that he can trade it back to me. He had not been playing for months, his parent brought him a console so that he will not social so much in game. Kind of thought his family is Amish because of the conservative thinking, but it is still depend on their choice to live their life.

My plan is to use expansion on all my 6 accounts, and since I do not have any Level 100 toon on 2 accounts I will use the Level 120 Jump Box on it so that I will be able to create Phoenix Toon and Night Shadow. I will be making a Level 164 Toon for Pet Leveling in Tairan, most likely it will be Ex Ranger. I will also be making another Level 146 Toon for Mondshine, hopefully it will be able to get Heaven Stone Grade 5 better than Tairan.

A Level 137 Toon for Floriam Cave would be good for Skill Book, even though Tairan also drop the same but the level of gear drop is different. It can also be use for Travia Valley, can farm for Phoenix Ticket. Another Level 121 Toon for Bloodymir and Streiana, the same reason for the different level gear drop. I will skip Lust Trum and Tomb mainly because I get lost easy in Lust Trum and the mob Stone in Tomb.

Already using my Haste Toon for Egeha although it still taking some damage after I upgrade the Armor Set to +30. Not sure if I would want to make a Level 97 Toon for Grand Gold Dragon as I will have to upgrade the Armor Set to +30 too. The same goes for Level 65 Toon for Dratan and Temple of Forgetfulness as I already got a Level 75 Toon for that. But the 97 Toon will be Assassin and Level 65 Toon will be Royal Knight due to their Elemental Advantage.

I will most likely using Planet to name them if it is available, I can always make minor change if the name is already taken. Saturn for Titan, Jupiter for Sorcerer, Neptune for Knight, Uranus for Mage, Pluto for Rogue and Gaia for Healer. Might be using Niburu and Anunnaki too if it is available.

Aphelion:

Been very busy making 15 Level 175 Toon and 3 Level 140 Toon, and also a Level 165 and Level 157 Toon. It is mainly because I got a few 7 Days Character Expansion and a lot of Jump Potion. It is not an easy task as it will use up a lot of my resources, I am short of Chaos Tourmaline for 7 Toon and PVE Accessory for 8 Toon. 

Basically is to try out the skill for different class, it will also help to farm stuff more efficiently with Daily Quest. I had to level up my Elementalist from Level 168 to Level 175 in order to use the Jump Potion. The details of different toon are as follows:

Level 175 Cleric Green Jade

Level 175 Assassin Tiger Lily

Level 175 Wizard Niburu

Level 140 Night Shadow Omega Dark

Level 175 Specialist Light Alpha

Level 175 Temple Knight Hydro Static

Level 175 War Master Saturn

Level 157 Royal Knight Hydro Dynamic

Level 175 Elementalist The Fifth Element

Level 175 Ranger Pluto Venus

Level 175 Witch Uranus Venus

Level 140 Archer Venus Luna

Level 175 Arch Wizard Anunnaki

Level 175 Night Shadow Cloud Atlas

Level 175 Royal Knight Neptune

Level 165 Ex Ranger Venus Mercury

Level 175 High Lander Red Fire

Level 175 Arch Witch Black Vodoo

Level 175 Archer Green Dragon

Level 140 Arch Wizard Imagine Dragon

Took me about 5 Days to complete all the Level 175 Toon with 3 Toon per day, will be working on the 3 Level 140 Toon, Level 157 Toon and Level 165 Toon after I had complete with the Level 175 Toon. I will be using them mainly at month end when they reset the Battle Pass on the 28th, usually just doing the Tairan Daily Quest will be able to get the third Gold Box. Together with the Level 200 and Level 185 Toon, I can complete 26 Tairan Daily and Battle Pass in about 4 to 5 Days.
