Video Games Archive / Re: Grand Fantasia/Eden Eternal anyone?

2012 Sep 09, 02:09:34

Spoiler: show

Eden Eternal has a string of quests now starting from around level 10 or 15 that awards people for levelling. My level 36 halfkin has almost full costume set now. Plus there's also the housing system, And you can get costume items through doing reps. they're fairly common too, though Non-tradable. I got 2 in my first 4 or 5 tries.
Since a lot of things Eden Eternal gets are being coded into Grand Fantasia it's only a matter of time before it gets something similar. There's already been published screenshots of an Island Housing system on the Taiwan server.


My main on Grand fantasia is level 68 now. I guess what kept me going is because it was an escape from my worries, really.

Oh man, haven't played Eden Eternal since last summer.
I remember my guild fell apart and then school started so I just quit since I didn't really have any reason to come back.
If you guys are playing, I'll see about getting back into it. 
If I remember right, I was about level 53.
And that was back when the cap was 55, I actually hit the cap of 50 for a day or two.

I'm so sad they're making a series out of it.
I feel like it's going to end up like every series based on a movie and just stumble off into obscurity and taint the memories of the original movie.

Now I get to wake up at 2am to get ready for an 8 hour drive!

I passed both parts of my driving test by 1 point
I got the required 33/40 for my written and 81/100 on my driving.
My tester was not happy when he handed me that card.

I was driving once along a road with a hedge next to the sidewalk, and this biker just came tearing out through a gap in it and dove across the rode about a foot in front of my bumper. Never even looked at me as I slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting the moron. Then after the screaming rubber got his attention, he just gave me a dirty look and kept on going.

I have a little problem with blowing on the mic, but I'm going away until the 14th tomorrow so I can't go back and do a bunch of takes.
Anyways, I had fun and wish everypony the best of luck!

I hope they have beta testing later on, that'd be awesome. 

Am thinking, beta might come out at the end of summer or the year. But ya that'd be nice. 

Hate to burst le bubble, but they are not doing everything on the Road to Alpha in less than a month. And I honestly doubt they'll be done by the end of the year.

As Ezio said, there is still a lot that needs to be done before this game will be ready for anyone to actually play.
For those who haven't seen this, here's the checklist before the game even hits alpha, nevermind beta.

or how they would always state NO MATTER WHAT the situation is THERE ARE TOO MANY or WE ARE OUTMATCHED!!! if they are hit at all... I had a wild boar tackle my lvl 150 pawn and they yelled WE ARE NO MATCH!!!

Yeah my favorite was a pawn getting hit by a bat, "They hold the advantage!"
As far as pawn builds go, what have been your favorites?
I've had two pawn builds I've liked so far - a Ranger that spammed Gamble Draw since they have no stamina and a full support mage that made life really easy for me.

Oh! I have this game!
Don't have my xbox hooked up to live at the moment because of the logistics of doing that, but I had a Lvl 70 Ranger before I restarted as a mage to try Magic Archer.
So far I've enjoyed the needing to run around because fast travel was always my biggest complaint in Skyrim and Oblivion since it ruins any immersion.
My only complaint is the pawns endlessly rattling off the same 5 lines every time you exit a town or run down a road.

and they always say it without emotion

They can be useful when they shout weaknesses of new foes, but they do have some shortcomings...

Like my old pawn that shouted "Even in numbers, a weakling is a weakling still!" EVERY TIME we saw goblins.
Or my current one that informs me that cliffs are dangerous every time we walk along one.

Spoiler: show

anypony got any mods?

Yep, although most of them aren't too flashy. Here are the main ones I use now or have used in the past:

-Jaysus Swords - weapon mod with tuns of visual variety (and load screens with depressingly bad grammar)
-Sounds of Skyrim - sound mod that makes the game sound a lot more alive
-"Ultra Realistic World Lighting" - makes the game less gray, more colorful, and a bit darker at night
-Ranger Ridge - modest-sized but very cool house for ranger-type characters
-The Asteria - a friggin' airship home
-Apocalypse Spell Package - adds tons of interesting new spells, although some of them are pretty overpowered

Those, and a handful of balance mods to make Destruction and Heavy Armor less awful.

I could buy every house possible in skyrim since I gathered 100k worth of gold with no mods or cheats 

I'm kind of tempted to start a new character to see if I can get that high without ever killing anything - just by abusing alchemy, which is absurdly profitable. I guess this could get boring quickly though 

edit: You know what would be fantastic? A mod that makes it so that almost every NPC is dead, and you have to survive on your own, without having craptons of cheaply available crafting materials and potions and stuff like that. A sort of post-apocalyptic Skyrim, I guess.

That's an easy one and no coding required.
Every time you see a new NPC, roll a d20.
If you get a 20 then they live.

Ugh, racing games look easy, but the multiplayer is so crazy,

people will hit you out of the race at the starting line 

It depends on the game.
One of the hardest racing games I ever played was F-Zero GX because of its infuriating mix of Mach 2, brutal tracks and 29 other racers.
