Christmas Event:


 

Horizon:

Christmas Event had started, they had make a few changes. Horizon is moved to an America Host, hopefully those US players will encounter less lag from now. Foresee a lot of EU players will transfer their toons to EU Servers as they will not be able to gain unfair advantage in Castle Siege from now, they had also make Pandora the Recommended Server with permanent 2 x XP and SP and Blessed Rewards drop for Level 120 and below.

I am considering to transfer a few toon to Pandora to farm for Heaven Stone Grade 5, at the moment I had short listed the Level 164 Ex Ranger for that, Level 185 Ex Ranger for Event Bosses and Level 185 Specialist for Windy Buff. They doesn't allow any transfer of Accessory,so I might had to consider getting some Coin of Hero from the Loyalty Rewards in future to get some good accessory.

Been on Pandora and having Loyalty Rewards will boost the status and been able to live like a king as there are very limited resources, and bringing 15K of Heaven Stone Grade 5 and all the Premium Stuffs over will really help the server a lot. Still not sure if I want to transfer one of the Specialist over to Osiris for Windy Buff, as it is already very crowded increasing the channel to 8 channels will not really make much different.

They had change the rewards for Christmas Lacaette, PSSP had been replaced by Chocolate, White Token had been change to Strong Med, Heaven Stone Grade 5 had been change to IDB, EXP Scroll had been change to Candle and Effort Scroll had been change to Curse Removal. Players seem to have less motivation to farm for snow flake now after they notice the change in the rewards, and I notice Pandora seem to be more active to get the Christmas Tree Buff before Horizon and even see more players farming for snow flake like pumpkin during the Halloween Event.

So overall transferring a few of my toon from Horizon to Pandora with most of the stuffs may be a very good idea after all as it got much more potential to grow and become more active than Horizon. And it seem that the drop rate and luck are much better too as there are not much hoarder to take up the limited quota. My only worry is that it might become crowded like Osiris as a lot of other players might share the same idea like me and decide to transfer some of their toon and stuffs over.


 P.S.:

There is a 200% Upgrade and 2000% Jewel Event, make use of it to make a new toon for Tairan on Pandora. Manage to level it to Level 133 in just about 8 hours, this prove that 2 times XP and SP really give an advantage. As this toon will be able to farm Heaven Stone Grade 5, I am not sure if I still need to transfer any toon to this server.

I was thinking of getting Level 120 Jump Box from Item Mall to make this toon at first, and use the Coin of Hero from Loyalty Rewards to get some good Accessory. But from the look of it, I might not even need any Level 185 Jump Box to make my Windy Buff toon as leveling is so much easier on this server.

Manage to upgrade a few Weapons too from Level 33 to Level 121, guess I do not have to worry much on this server as I got as much resources now as I had on Osiris. My main concern now is to whether keep this server for testing without transferring any toon or stuffs from Horizon or transfer most of it and live like a king. 

Finally decided to transfer a Level 185 Specialist to Osiris for Buff, also decided to transfer 3 toon to Pandora. For Pandora I had transfer a Level 185 Specialist too for Buff, but it can also be use for Event Boss as it is already setup for that. I also decided to transfer another Level 185 Ex Ranger for Event Boss too, and a Level 131 Ex Ranger which I can use for Pet Leveling and later level up to Level 164 for farming Heaven Stone Grade 5.

I had also decided to transfer most of the stuffs which I don't really need from Horizon to both Osiris and Pandora, so I will be able to live comfortably on both EU Server. I notice there are also a lot of players transferring their toon to Osiris and Pandora too, as I start to see more stuffs available on Pandora. Guess those EU players will be going back to Osiris as they are unable to gain unfair advantage against the US players now, some of the players decided to try Pandora too as it is easier to level up with permanent 2 times XP and SP.

Been having constant DC issue recently, had ask Dev Asori to add my IP Address to the server white list. But I was told to repair the client instead. I had repair it recently when the client window is showing 10 x 10 resolution, but out of faith in Asori I decided to try repairing it again. After I did the repair the DC issue still continue to exist, with the rate of getting kick by the server every 2 mins it come to about 30 DC in an hour.

As the DC seem very constant, I decided to trouble shoot the issue myself instead of waiting for their support or response to my ticket as I think they are already in the holiday mood. I had try monitor the memory issue closely with the indication on my rain meter and the recently installed game booster, I had been sure that it could not be memory issue since I installed game booster as it will close my other game client first.

I decided to try something out of the box although I did not think Fawkes will do something so unscrupulous, but to my surprise I stop getting any more DC after I close my other game client. I am very disappointed as it just show how bad they are to make improvement in their server that they had to use this extreme method to eliminate their competition, how they use to boost about their minor achievement and keep finding excuse for the delay in progression had already make me look down on them long time back.

I am forgiving enough to overlook this incident, but they might one day be sue by other players for doing that as most countries had law to prevent unfair competition and protect the freedom of choice, I am not sure when they will suffer the consequences of their action but I just pray that this day will not come sooner as it will really affect a lot of other players. I hope they will repent and start to do some real improvement to the game instead of continuing using all the under hand means.
