>>2219538There's no guild up just yet, read the thread for updates.
>>2219553I'm reading the thread and it's telling me there's no guild up just yet.
Caught a ride on the local gondola today, after a two straight nights of completely neglecting it. Was kinda neat.Every few minutes, the gondola docks at the bottom of the main bridge leading out of town, and an NPC shouts over the System channel about it being ready to board. Looks like some environmental flavor at first, but it actually takes you to somewhere mildly important early on if you manage to catch it.Where does this gondola lead, (You) might ask?
>>2219626It leads to THIS four-legged fellow, stationed within the astral observatory high atop Thereall's tallest tower.Even if you aren't directed to him through some other quest, it's still worth checking-in with this oldster at during your teenage levels. One of his quests gives you a full stack of 999 (!!) Fighting Spirits, in both STR and INT-flavored varieties.Pressing [F9] while your supply of Fighting Spirits is equipped will boost your attacks by a decent amount, but every hit ticks one point off the Spirit's total. They're apparently worth saving for tough fights, but since you're given so many of them from this guy (and better ones supposedly show up later), you may as well just use these quest rewards as you see fit.
>>2219627Quick photo out in Breezie Hills, just as the sunset was coming in.Always love how sunset looks in these 2000s-era KMMOs, drenching the screen with sherbet hues. It's charming, in its own antiquated sort of way.>>2219599Guild creation requires being level 36, apparently to prevent GvG abuse (from what I've been told by one of the locals).At the rate we're going, we should have our banner up in just a couple of nights or so. Not ideal, but not the worst we've come across previously.
>>2219629After plenty of questing (so much questing...), a few of us decided to give a modular "Star Core" dungeon a shot to mix things up.We braved the unexpectedly well-lit depths, carving a path through all manner of horrifying grotesquaries. Swarms of leeches! Mechanical werewolves! Ambulatory corn...?Look, all that matters is every single one of them was an affront to all twelve Gods, and needed to be thoroughly purged, which we did. Great way of gaining EXP too, definitely recommend.Star Core dungeons are made up of three parts: red, yellow, and blue cores, each contributing to some part of the randomly-generated labyrinth you'll be running through.Yellows definitely influence which tileset gets drawn, but I'm not entirely sure how the other two colors change things just yet. Still, it's pretty neat that there's a dial-a-dungeon feature in this title for casual party grinding, to go along with the actual, quest-specific dungeons you're occasionally lead into.
Nice to be able to forget questing for a bit and raid dungeons.
Games that look like this always feel like home to me. Wish there was a popular game that looked like this, but they're all dead. And I'm too busy to play. Thanks for the pictures.
sasuga clique
Dungeons have been intense, rewarding and fun.
Mid-dungeon dance break.
looks like shit
>>2220352The dungeon delving looked like a nice time then the dancing faggotry ruined it for me.
>>2220406>he plays mmos for da heckin' doongensngmi
>>2220433>he playsI know, hard to understand for a cliquer.
>>2220433>he plays it to afk dance with no playerslol ok bye
>>2220436you don't play videogames>>2220444>nooo you can't be afkleast lonely mmo player
>>2220534>cliquer making up random shitI enjoy dungeon diving with a small group of people composed of different class/job compositions... not dancing.
>>2220551>small group of peopleso... a clique?>classes/jobsare a meme, if you liked good games you wouldn't enjoy that, which means you have shit taste and your opinion is shit
Still waiting for the promised erp
>>2220642ill be your kitten
>>2220568>a meme!As expected of a cliquer.
>>2220686concession accepted, fag
Guild status?
>>2220692>buzzword spamAs expected of a cliquer.
Anyone married yet?
Do you need level 36 to create a guild?
>>2221063yes, the in-game help section that says you only need lv20 is a fucking lie
>>2220568>classes/jobs are a memeis the most "i jump mmos every 2 weeks" take ever kek
>>2221087it's a pserver, what do you expectthey probably don't know how to change existing npc dialogue
>>2221966padded content.classes were created to waste your time starting the game over from level 1 because you just can't go without a healer ok? or a tank ok? you VILL level a whole new character for a single role, goy... and you VILL be happygames like runescape and monster hunter don't have this problem
>>2222120>not playing warlock so you can use all roles when needed, even in the same fight
>>2222120you don't have to. you want to cause you're a sheep.
witch foid looking for strong chud knight boyfriend
>>2222210I mean, seeing a trinity and going "I MUST MAKE ALL THREE" is low IQ stuff. I can't humour you with anything intelligent if that's all you have.If you were half as intelligent as you pretend to be, you know why "padded content" is made even funnier after you named your games.
clique = a bunch of retardsso anytime they get an external retard in the thread we get an endless argumentsasuga
>>2222285you're such a little bitch for chasing this even into the game threads for your babby's revengeI don't think you're old enough to browse this website but if you are that's fucking pathetic, this is some teen hissy girl shit
>>2222328chillax a bitthe truth hurts but you don't have to feed the guys
>>2222375and "having to" is also a copeNot all games have a lvl 99 cap to skills, not all games were designed to have paid member only sections, not all games were designed to be dungeon-simulators.You're too mentally inferior to have a conversation with. You're kind of like a fake version of me. I'm the one in the right and never wrong.
nice thread my dudes
>>2222328vidoegaem get a job and stop replying to shitty bait newfag retard
Argument won.clique = 0retard in a clique thread = 0me = 999But you'll cry some more about how I didn't beat you, I bet.
whats the playercount like?
>>2222751however many people you see in the sceenshot, maybe 7 people max. and that's who you'll see running around leveling cause these games rarely get new people.
>>2222774The group hasn't played Eden Eternal yet. If you're wanting a cutesty looking game with on the fly class switching, keep your eyes on mmodventures. You can fight monsters at the same level even if your class is level 1. Just means it levels up faster. Hopefully that'll sort out a bit of your autism. I haven't played it in over a decade thoughevermore. Don't know if it will ever win cause it got 0 votes last poll.
I apologize to the anon I was having a debate. A janny saw our argument and warned me for a reason you can't even select in the drop down, so the mandate of janny as a personal arbiter says you won. MMOs with classes are shitty. I kneel.
inb4 the maintenance takes like 4 days for no reason
>it's February>LHR's website still has the December calendarI wonder if they only update it every december. Maybe they do it for anniversaries too.
>>2222991oh, is it in maintenance? I thought I was banned for saying nigger lmao
Guild status? Anyone close to making it?
of course you need to give ((them)) your phone number to even see channels in the zogcord
>>2222894Mods are newfags, like the cliquer who made up personal facts about your life to "own" you.
>another thread of Densetsu/eyelids/Match throwing a fit over not having compulsive control over everybody's thoughts and feelings
I can craft blacksmithing stuff (heavy armor, melee weapons, some guns possibly) up to lvl 32 or so, just hmu and bring some cash.
>>2223010one guy is lvl 29 and one is lvl 28. we might hit it tomorrow.
>2223133More like another thread of some namedropping retard who doesn't even play having a melty for 50-100+ posts at a time.It's incredibly obvious, and has been happening in nearly every MMOD-adjacent thread for close to half a year at this point. None of this trolling, baiting, and sockpuppeting is ever natural.
Goodness sake, completely forgot to catalog this morning's happenings...! Time to fix that.A few more photos than my usual batch of uploads this time around, so I'll try to keep the added flavor text somewhat brief (by my standards anyway).We begin with a trip north of the city, to the rolling green hills of the [Ancient Ruins]. Despite its name, there weren't actually many ruins to be found here - it's more of a highland swamp than anything, really.There IS a rather conspicuous pyramid found in the eastern half of the map, however. Who's to say when we'll be making our way there.
>>2223195The morning crew was keen on some dungeoneering to bump our levels up, and one of us had a fancy new two-floor Level 25 Star Core to try out for the occasion.Before that, however, some admiring of the newest (and soon-to-be-removed) addition to the team: The finest frogge you ever did see.Sure, it was only Level 1, and could barely survive a fight with even the most basic of enemies outside of town... But it's cute in an ugly sort of way.
>>2223198The bulk of our night took place within the dusty shafts of a thoroughly grotesquearie-infested mining network, and good lord, did we ever get a workout while traipsing around.Within the first group of monsters, it became clear that we were very much underprepared, undergeared, and underleveled for the occasion, with every single encounter putting all our skills (and MP reserves) to the test. Still, despite the odds handily being stacked against us, we pressed on regardless.The frogge seen in the previous photo proved to be more of a hindrance than a help, and thus stayed behind (after it inadvertently pulled an entire room we were attempting to retreat from, nearly wiping the party). For the best, really.
>>2223161Nothing is gayer than greentexting a response. Might as well filter the post. But if you're obnoxious and you're a regular, this will always follow you.So please fix your attitude.
is this fun?
>>2223200Another shot of the Mines, this time in the rare instance of us isolating a lone monster from its pack.Patrols could really creep up on you throughout these winding tunnels, so keeping your head on a swivel was paramount.
>>2223206With time running low, we managed to find the key leading to the final room of the Mines, revealing an absolutely titan-sized Goblini to take down.Not in the cards today, however. With how much we were barely staying alive against just the regular fodder, there was no chance in hell we'd have ANY sort of shot against the big guy here. Best course of action was to promptly panic, and sprint for the exit.Yes, my UI really is this small.
>>2223210Myself and our Gunner did manage to give those in pursuit the slip, and we ended our excursion through these endless Mines just shy of the real finish line.Still, it was pretty fun! Nice to be challenged during the earlygame of these titles, for once.
>>2223211Quick alt-take of the above.>>2223204It's neat, in an admittedly somewhat generic sort of way.Bit dull when played solo, but pretty fun when in a group. Sort-of a cross between Lineage II and a more traditional themepark-style MMO, with 2000s animu aesthetics.We'll be focused on this one for another week-and-a-half, so feel free to swing by if you're curious.
>>2223215Wanting to progress my Tailoring level just a bit higher before heading off to bed, it's back to the [Ancient Ruins] for me, this time scouting-out the scene for some spare [Raw Hide]. However, the monsters which drop [Raw Hide], Thunder Giant Trappers, only spawn during the day.It is here where the Day/Night cycle actually comes into effect beyond mere aesthetics, as certain enemies will only show up during one point of time or the other. If you can't find a monster you're after despite it being listed in a quest's description, that might be why.Alternatively, you might need to use an inventory item on something in the environment, such as using an [Igniter] on the bones out infront of the Bear Cave in Hercules Hill, to summon the appropriate monsters for part of your Level 3 tradeskill quest. (Very specific example, but it's caught several of us off-guard already).
>>2223216Finally, a quick jaunt over to Melody Valley to see the sights before signing off.The raw, chaotic energies emanating from this mercifully-tethered World Crystal were causing some real havoc to the surrounding area, manifesting a cacophony of musically-inclined phantasms every which way. Was bit much for just a single, low-level Priest to handle, however. Hopefully I'll have some reinforcements for the next foray into this wild place.
>>2223204it's alright. the theme is pretty cohesive (greece and zodiacs n shiet) and the polish is decent.sure hope you like questing or running the same 'procedurally generated dungeon' over and over though.
>>2223221i hate questing but i love running big ass dungeons with (real) players.
>2223202>getting this mad at not getting a (You) for your low effort trollingEmbarrassing
>>2223161>>2223202Obvious samefag who has been a disingenuous bad faith newfag since the start of this entire project.
>2223263Are you implying I'm talking to and against myself? Get a grip.
>>2223229I hope you understand that a reply is a reply. Kekaroo.
>>2223215Which one of you is winning the harembowl?
I'm having trouble reconnecting, I'll keep trying for now.
>>2223442Saw you disappear and assumed there was some trouble reconnecting, I tried logging out and back in myself, but I encountered no problems.I'm not sure what could be causing it, there seemed to be connection issues due to the frequent disconnects, I hope it's resolved quickly.
How do you move between maps?
>>2223455There should be a pad with a hologram you simple walk onto. If it doesn't work, that area is probably level-restricted.
>>2223442I managed to fix this by extracting a new copy of the game and attempting to update that. I was able to connect with the fresh client, then I canceled the update and logged back on with my old one. I have no idea why this worked.
Made some decent progress tonight, finishing-up much of what Thereall has to offer and moving out for the long haul westward to the (presumably) prestigious commercial hub of Gold Port. Onward and upward for us fledglings, no doubt.Nevermind the no-doubt dozens of requests from the citizens of Thereall we've accepted and callously left unfinished in our wake. Party bonus EXP when dungeoneering is just way too good to ignore on this server, them's the breaks.With new sights to see, and a new city to be stationed in (one which actually has a Refinery to throw all your unwanted equipment into), you'd think we would've left our old dirt-poor selves behind and found new riches in these golden lands... But you'd very much be wrong.Prices on skill upgrades are starting to get rather steep for what little scratch we're earning, and even the prospect of making your own gear - something which becomes expected at around Level 25-30 or so - can be alarmingly expensive if you don't have a network of fellow artisans to share materials with.On that note, investing in your chosen tradeskill is very much an unavoidable part of this title.So far, we're sporting one Blacksmith, one Tailor (myself), one Mechanic, one Card Developer, and one Alchemist, each one of us sharing resources and helping out as we can. Just short a Jeweler, if anyone feels up for stepping into that role.Actually do quite like how scrappy progression feels during the early goings, really emphasizes how important the group dynamic is in this title. Although I also hope our Gold income starts trending upwards before long, or else things could start to get pretty dicey.
>>2223696Slight alt-take of the above, with different poses.Additionally, as requested, here's a few resources to look into if you're curious.Steam Megaguide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2092803948Full drop-table (including percentages): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-6IIkfWfQa6tSzmmr2M3omE-BwMHwFzW/view(Drop table might be under 1x rates, whereas Lucent Heart Rebirth runs with 2x drop rates at all times).Knowledge Master answer key: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XEz0uMNJMSU5oGU563c9RDXlSATyaG2OfSY_Mu1RSb0/edit?gid=1167168672#gid=1167168672
>>2223280It did read like the same person yesterday when I was drunk. If you're not the clique-fag who has been arguing in nearly every thread since the beginning of this project then please accept my humble apologies.
>>2223698Thank you for the beautiful screenshots and for the useful information!I'll share some pictures as well.
mhhhhm rimming alles butthole
I got bored
liar, you're having fun
I'm at the point where grouping becomes necessary because mobs hurt like hell and I can forget killing the stronger mobs on my own.
A busy night this one was, as several among the Real SEA Hours™ crew press ever-onward through the upper 20s en route towards finally founding our rightful Guild.While much of our time tonight was spent squirreled away in crafting workhouses, scoring a few notable upgrades to our existing 'kit, we weren't only busy slaving at Tailor's tables and Alchemy labs. Any self-respecting member of the Zodiac wouldn't dare turn down the chance for some Dungeoneering, and indeed, this Level 25 Star Core dungeon provided ample opportunity to put some of that new gear to good use.
>>2225036A brief moment to savor the sun's grace, and one we were thankful to take after wading around in half-flooded hallways previously.Despite its innards crawling with invaders, the decorations of this time-lost temple were virtually untouched. Maybe the goblins skulking around here happen to have some semblance of architectural taste.
>>2225039Check out the fancy armor on this one!Her ornate get-up isn't just for show either (although it does make for quite a sight). Starting at Level 30, provided you've assigned all the appropriate skills along the way, activating your Astrolabe will don your Zodiac-specific armor, grating immense power and/or endurance sure to topple anything brazen enough to stand your way....Or more specifically, their Zodiac's respective Armor granted them about ~2,000 HP and MP, plus whatever other stats and bonuses their Zodiac Skills bestowed as well, lasting for about a minute or so before dissipating. Each Zodiac's armor has their own perks, with some befitting tanks, others specialized for DPS, and some just being decent "all-rounder" picks, and every choice comes with a complimentary full-restore of HP and MP on-use. Takes quite a while to build your Zodiac meter, however, so pick your transformation times wisely.Excellent for clutch saves and becoming your party's main character while it lasts.
>>2225041Through flooded halls and rune-marked corridors we trot, winding our way through these ancient ruins surely displaced from time and space alike.One must wonder what sort of ancient civilization built such an ornate maze, and what it once represented to them however-long ago.
>>2225042Nestled within the deepest room of the flooded temple stood a frighteningly familiar foe: Big Red, the very same giant-sized goblin which ran through our ranks during our wayward trip through the Forgotten Mines.Our initial efforts to take revenge certainly didn't go as planned, however, with him and his shambling squadron of spellcasters quickly blindsiding both our tanks, forcing a tactical retreat.Second time was the charm though, as he and his minions were no match against the unbridled might of the Sacred Cloth (not that you can see anyone wearing such in this photo - didn't really have time to line-up a good 'shot).
>>2225043Every adventuring party has to pose at the end of a successful expedition together. It's just the gods-written law of this realm, I'm not one to make the rules.
>>2225044Alt-take of the above, with slightly different poses.Great to see so much progress being made within such a relatively short span of time. We'll be flying that Guild's banner yet...!
>>2225036>>2225039>>2225041>>2225042>>2225043>>2225044>>2225047plap plap plap get pregnant
I concur, anon. Alle-posting is great
>>2225073I agree, partly because you can very easily ignore it if you're not in the mood for ramblings.
So how many people are playing? 8 people voted for it, so there should at least be that much. There's always enough nolifer regulars for a group so that's good. But I can't help but feel sorry for the rest.
>>2225673I started yesterday, lv17 atm
Posting some screenshots.Yesterday I saw a big group of locals moving as a group, all buffed up. Even the veterans rely on the frog!
>>2225673>8 peoplesounds about right, there's like 6 people lvl 25+ and a couple stragglers.I don't think we have found an effective way to powerlevel yet, the xp penalty seems pretty harsh.
The temple above the sewers.
>>2225043I'm glad you took a pic to commemorate this fight! I tried as well, but...
A GM hosted a simple hide-and-seek event with hints and three rounds. While searching, we ran into this game's adorable interpretation of Athena.
>>2225673>>2225817Sounds about the average amount of clique membership. A shame Allegreza fell into RP gameplay and defending the clique's behavior; I liked that nigga.
We managed to find the GM one round, by following a high level player. Got a few event coins, not enough for anything good, but little events like this seem to be hosted frequently.
Servers are laggy as fuck right now
>>2225857You don't really have much of a choice. You're playing an MMO. Most of them are going to bunch up. And if you want the best experience and can tolerate the gayness, you will join them. And the more people joining in, the more power they have come the voting.The only time their block power is irrelevant is when the mmodventure admin rigs the votes because he's on a naughty list somewhere and is being blackmailed every now and then.

Congratulations to the first Anon to reach the lofty heights of Level 36, ascending the climb all the way to become this crew's debut Third Class: A shiny new Solar Guardian!To say the road getting here was hard-fought would be a grand understatement. The specialty Dungeon hiding the final [Proof of the Knight] necessary to advance from ones' Second Class to their Third is absolutely crawling with some of the tankiest monsters you'll ever encounter up to that point, and we were mad enough to go in as an under-geared (and slightly under-leveled) trio...!Every single foray was a struggle just to stay alive, slowly draining our spare resources dry as we crept through these perilous halls (save for some limited instant-recoveries gained from the Level Up rewards box). The final encounter - a set of five terrifying grasshoppers - required tagging and labeling each monster beforehand, tactical usage of Zodiac Armors, and even a tank-swap part way through... But we did it!Hell of a night, this one was. Very well done to the Anon involved, especially under such sub-optimal circumstances.We'll trounce that place once we have a spare DPS or two tagging along with us, as more Anon reach the trials of their final Class Advancement.

The first week's photoshoot has been labeled, cataloged, converted from PNG to JPG, and is ready to post!We've got /31/ photos to cover this time around, pared-down from ~275 in total. As with many of these large-scale batch uploads, they'll be sans any flavor text to keep the focus on the images themselves. A picture speaks a thousand words, blah-blah-blah. Also I am very tired at the moment and don't want to write little descriptions for all of them.Several of these will be slight alterations of existing angles, so feel free to pick-and-choose which ones you'd prefer. Having options is seldom a bad thing, after all.With that said, lettuce begin...![1/31]

>>2229736>>2229723>>2229680Fantastic.
So I just started playing after being busy for a week or two, the game seems to perform very badly. UI elements are snappy, the game is running at what feels like 20 or 30 FPS. Is there a fix for that?
>>2229901Try restarting if you haven't already.OS uptime can fuck with game performance.
>>2229906Tried verifying files, apparently a bunch are missing/modified. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I remember playing this before beanfun bailed out of being a global company. The dungeons were fun to "build" and get super niche rare shit. The gear durability system was shit and revive abuse in guild wars was cancer. Not sure if I'd give it another chance, but at the time it was pretty cool being the top Dawn Prophet player. I was able to join groups from the three top guilds, though there was HUGE drama and faggotry that I sure don't miss, and did basically everything endgame. Abusing the pk count system was good fun, wonder if they bothered to fix it.
>>2229937Are shadow warlock and ascetic from the original game or are they some custom donut steel classes?
>>2229985There were only eight advanced classes, I guess you'd call them, in the global version. I think it was Warrior to Knight and Gunner, those went to Solar Guardian/Celestial Templar and Comet Marksman/Nova Sentinel. Mage was Wizard and Priest, to Moon Flame Envoy/Galaxy Sage and Dawn Prophet/Sun Commissioner. No idea how the TW server was since all of the resources I looked at were for JP since those are the runes I could read. JP was also years ahead and even died after global so they might have had it.
>>2229937>HUGE drama and faggotryAnime games bring out the autism
>>2229753Excellent shots! Thank you for going through the effort of taking and sorting out so many.I'll post this alternate view of the cable car trip.
>>2229906>>2229935Tried both of these, even moving it to another drive, something about it is making it run poorly and I don't know what that could be. 12 FPS everywhere I've gone, again the UI is quick and snappy so I don't think it's a performance problem.Tried single core affinity Tried high priority Tried Nvidia settings to force FPS Tried Vsync on and off It just really doesn't like my computer. I don't have a slow computer, either. Definitely not one that should struggle with a game from mid-2004.
>>2230864Although the issues described are not the same as the ones you've mentioned, the website warns that some may experience issues with the default files, and provides some alternate ones to download, that affect the game's UI. You may want to try those, to see if anything improves.>https://lucentrebirth.com/download
>>2230864try fucking with windowed / fullscreen mode. sounds like the game isn't recognizing that it's in focus.
Commentary on the shots:You could pair them down even more. Most of them of nonessential. Think about hiroshimoot's storage. Your hubris will be your demise.
>>2230864If you're on Windows 11, disable Fast Startup (Control Panel -> Power Options -> Choose what the power button does -> Uncheck "Turn on fast startup") and then fully shut down your computer and restart from a cold boot.Fast Startup is known to cause issues over time, no idea why it's the default in Windows 11. Double check it if you're on other Windows versions as well.Did that a few night ago, and suddenly the game went from ~15-30FPS to a smooth 60.
>>2232006Trying it on another computer with Linux now, and it seems to run great on Wine. Go figure. I'll have to try disabling fast startup when I get a chance.
Is anyone even playing? Or has everyone hit max level in like a week?
>>2232307lvling is actually pretty slow i've been hopping on sporadically and theres usually a few people
>>2232312Got it, I'll see if I can catch anyone around. Did we ever get the guild made?

So question, I'm level 10 mage right now, I usually go some kind of support class when we have these games. So would you recommend Priest or Wizard? I heard Priest is a nightmare to solo and eventually they die to one or two hits unless they get a really good pet.
>>2233094>>2233498Glad to hear it worked!Fast Startup in Windows 11 (and whichever other versions include the feature) is basically just "Sleep+" rather than a proper full system shutdown. Keeps various drivers and utilities loaded in RAM when your rig turns off, ostensibly reducing the time it takes to boot from startup.Of course, as you might imagine, not fully purging active memory inevitably results in issues cropping up after a while; especially in older programs, like most of the MMOs we play here.Having the feature on by default like nothing will ever go wrong with it, then burying the option to turn it off in an obscure secondary menu of an existing sub-menu of the Control Panel, is so painfully on-brand for modern day Microsoft.For a secondary Windows 11 tip: If you're running on a 1440p/2k/4k monitor and have issues getting virtually any game we play here to load in native resolution...Right click your desktop, choose "Display Settings", go down to "Scale & Layout" and change Scale to be 100%.Resolution scaling defaults to either 125% for 1440/2k monitors, or 150% for 4k monitors, effectively mimicking a 1080p or 2k look for clarity's sake for casual browsing. Games of MMOD's vintage weren't designed with resolution scaling in mind, so changing it to 100% will help with that.That said, turning resolution scaling to 100% is also likely make UI elements extremely tiny, since again, most of what we play here are old games made for old resolutions. Toy around with it, see what happens.
>>2233744>I usually go some kind of support class when we have these games. So would you recommend Priest or Wizard?Priest is the game's de-facto healer, and the only class which can provide very mild support buffs to other players during the Second Class level range (10-36). Dawn Prophet (one of Priest's 3rd classes) and Galaxy Sage (one of Mage's 3rd classes) also provide party buffs past Level 36.It should be noted that most of the more impactful buffs/debuffs in this game actually come from consumable Cards which the Card Developer profession can make, with any class being able to use Card effects on any target they choose. If you're leaning more towards being a buffer/support rather than a traditional healer, you aren't necessarily locked into playing the latter as well.>I heard Priest is a nightmare to solo and eventually they die to one or two hits unless they get a really good pet.Priest can take a hit better than Gunner or Mage during the earlygame thanks to its shielding and healing abilities, but it's by far the slowest solo class in the game, and it does eventually become nonviable for them to do things on their own. You'll absolutely want to group-up with other people, or at the very least, buy a Frog Pet from the Beast Trainer when you have the gold for it (then swap it out for the freebie Battle Pet you get at Level 40).Priest's solo viability is more of a concern if you choose to play this game for longer than most of us will be sticking around for it, however. If you're just here 'til the MMOD moves on to another title come this Saturday, I'd say to go with Mage, as it'll make the ultra early levels a good deal faster.If you've already made a Priest though, that's totally fine, as we actually only have just a couple of those, and EXP-lucrative Dungeons absolutely require a Priest without question. You'll be appreciated by the lower-levels among us, for sure.>t. Priest main
>>2233702Gave me a good laugh. Saved.
Been slacking on my screencap uploads since the big Week One photoshoot! Let's fix that.Super short flavor text on these, given the amount of photos on-offer this time around, paired with how absurdly late(/early) it is in my part of the globe. These should be speedy reads compared to my usual over-long style, at the very least.We begin with our marque marksman in full Zodiac regalia, poised to pierce any target with their stylish looks (and also their bullets).[1/18]
>>2234481This expedition was the first time many of us had been accompanied by a Mage, and their presence was made immediately apparent.All that hellfire really saps at ones' mana reserves, but there's no denying its effectiveness.[2/18]
>>2234485A brief moment to soak-up the sun within these dark, dark ruins.[3/18]
>>2234486Naturally, any good expedition deserves its due dansen at the end.[4/18]
>>2234489The following day, we came across a kindly local running their daily quests who, against all odds, was actually around our level for once...!They seemed nice, eager to help for sure. More able bodies means more Party EXP at any rate, so we let them tag along despite being outside our usual circles.[5/18]
>>2234490Our Ascetic's summonable bench may not be suitable for more than one person at a time (somehow), but fortunately there are ways around that baffling restriction.[6/18]
>>2234493Back to the Ruins with us, this time with some major firepower in-tow.At this point, we had discovered the utterly obscene power of Gacha-borne Battle Pets, with several of us chomping at the bit to flaunt their potential.[7/18]
>>2234494Said potential was a full rave's worth of special effects flooding the screen, and absolutely annihilating anything not allied with us (this 'shot was the combination of several Battle Pets using their AoEs, plus further effects from our Ascetic's buffs).Was rather beside myself in just how ludicrously effective these otherworldly summons were, as it really did feel like we were pets to them rather than their rightful masters.[8/18]
>>2234495A quick trip to a nearby chapel at Cupid's request revealed an unsettling labyrinth sprawling out from within, disquiet and unease clinging to every wall.Truthfully, nothing within the strangely-toned maze was especially threatening. But it just FELT like such an odd, unsettling place all throughout.[9/18]
>>2234499Despite the deeply off-kilter vibes, we still managed to drum-up a dance number to close-out our visit there, Cupid's Silver Bow safely in our backpacks.A place we'll likely not see again during our stay in this realm, but certainly a memorable one all the same.[10/18]
>>2234500South of Illusion Lake resides the rocky shoreline of the continent, melding into a deep forest just nearby.Vile experiments have sullied these grounds, and where once should be rest, the sputtering sounds of bio-engineered horrors creak and groan all throughout this hillside graveyard.[11/18]
>>2234504To top it off, there's a necromantic font just across the way from the aforementioned graveyard as well.Not a forest you'd want to talk a romantic walk though, this one, even if its gloomy atmosphere is on-point.[12/18]
>>2234507The ocean surrounding the continent shelters far more than just fish, and the conveniently-placed portal maintained above Illusion Lake will treat you to its finest of sights: And entire underwater city, dating back centuries and still going strong![13/18]
>>2234510With the ocean above thoroughly at-bay, and the city's atmosphere perfectly maintained, there's little reason to keep written tomes stowed away in dusty libraries.Do wonder where you're able to sit for a read around here, though...[14/18]
>>2234511Through saving both 30-34 and 35-39 Dailies to pair alongside a 2x Quest EXP scroll, I rocketed up to Level 36 in short order. Nearly reached 37, in fact.Will certainly miss these nice, level-limited freebies you receive along the climb. Be sure to burn through your supply of anything with a Level 36 or lower restriction during your early-to-mid 30s, no sense hording them afterwards.[15/18]
>>2234515A quick shot of the aqua-tubes leading to the city's central elevator.Such a sight, this undersea capital. Yes, the tiling on the texturework here hasn't held up especially well, I'm aware.[16/18]
>>2234519Raising from the ocean depths, we returned to Illusion Lake's sandy shores for a lengthy hunting session. Ninjas and Witches were on the docket for our final Class Promotion assignments, and naturally this particular Battle Pet made quick work of what was asked of her.The fashion sensibilities of celestial avatars are a strange thing for mortal eyes to behold...[17/18]
>>2234524Speaking of summons, our primary tank finally found hers, bestowed from a freebie Gacha Box upon reaching Level 40.Weaver of flames and coaxer of hearts, her newfound Red Magician is a fair step up from that dopey (but mildly adorable) battle-frog she had to rely on previously. Keen to hear how this firebrand fares in the field later this evening![18/18]
>>2234526Thank you for the excellent screenshots, and for the time you take recording our chronicles!
>inventory expansion scroll ran outokay, now what? playing this game with 60 inventory slots is out of the question.
>>2234871Sell everything, it's not like you'll need that stuff later.

Little late in posting this one, but here's last night's travels from the Real SEA Hours™ crew.Being a bit more selective with my screencap choice this time around, cutting the photos I was planning to post with this batch down from 15 to just 11. Hopefully that'll lessen alt-take fatigue a bit.Let's start with a bit of impromptu dancing in Gold Port's main plaza. Gotta get nice and limbered-up for the day ahead, you know.[1/11]
>>2236815En route towards the final step of our long-awaited Class Promotion quest, we stumbled across THIS intimidating sight, resting atop the cliff overhang in Argos Bay. A proper World Boss!World Bosses take several /days/ to respawn when dispatched, so coming across one out in the wild on a lark is definitely a rare sight.Fortunately, despite easily being able to run any of us through in an instant, this one didn't seem eager to fight, choosing instead to lazily flaunt her fancy bow whilst giving her rather-terrifying mount a rest.[2/11]
>>2236816The infamous Knight's Trial was filled with fearsome foes just as before.Unlike the previous time we had been there, however, due preparations were taken to assure this foray into these perpetually-flooded waterways wasn't nearly as much of a grueling ordeal, thank goodness. Time to get promoted![3/11]
>>2236817The Flock descends upon Gold Port, ferrying their riders straight to the commissioner's office for a well-deserved Class Promotion.In case you weren't aware, the three summonable mounts available via the Mount Roulette 2000 actually have different speed values. The weird fan-thing is the slowest at +115 speed, the doe boasts a respectable +145 speed, and our fair feathered friend here is the fastest of them all, clocking-in at +195 speed.[4/11]
>>2236818After spending a good while deciding where to assign our shiny new skills and spells, we tackled a Level 35 Quest Dungeon, bearing a fancy new tileset to-boot.Though these walls may be painted a different shade, don't be fooled: "Noname City" uses the same layout as the strangely unsettling "Couple's Dungeon" showcased before, so plan your routes accordingly.[5/11]
>>2236819A quick flight down the longest of this dungeon's corridors, spanning from the very top to the very bottom of its run.Makes for a good showcase of the bird's swiftness, for sure.[6/11]
>>2236820Love is (ostensibly) in the air across the realm, as Valentine's Day will soon be upon us.As such, these little guys (and one notably big-guy elsewhere) have been stationed in the many capital cities around the world, offering goodies to those who retrieve Pieces of Heart found by slaying grotesquaries abroad. Cupid also offers a few Valentine's-specific quests, so be sure to check in with him as well.[7/11]
>>2236822The Duke of Daily Quests doling-out your daily dailies really seems to have a particular disdain for pirates.First we've stripped them topless, then we've robbed them of their Pirating Licenses (can't be a pirate without a loicence after all), and now we're killing them en-masse for scraps of firewood. This just feels like bullying at this point.Can't deny - the color pallet, texture-work, and general early-2000s vibe of the "deep forest" section here does remind me of our stay in Ferentus. What a curiously memorable title that ended up being.[8/11]
>>2236824One especially-notable slice of the realm opens up during the Valentine's Day event: the Lover's Garden!Bathed in astral glow, this petal-covered hillside is the perfect destination to take your special somebody for a nice chat under the stars. And presumably other things too, but we kept matters above-board during our visit here.[9/11]
>>2236825A nice close-up of the early morning crew, in one of the most beautiful locales to-date.Even if there isn't much of much to do here mechanically (obviously intended for you to make your own fun), it's still worth a visit just for the sights alone.[10/11]
>>2236827This photo might be a bit extraneous, but I wanted to include it anyway.Remember to bring your flags if you're wanting to flag your friends down while exploring this luscious land...![11/11]
>>2236829Thank you for your screenshots! I'll share a couple as well.I tried to take a cool one here, but...
A little desync trick.
A weird event I caught today. The GM asks for a category of item, which you're supposed to craft and bring.The reward was just some event coins, but it allowed me to give the OEM board a try, where crafters can post recipes and allow others to use their expertise to make the listed items.
there's a new shield gun in the guild stash
>>2236829One more.
>>2238479Fun screenshots! Here's one from the level 40 dungeon we tackled.
battle pets being way stronger than the player is braindead shit design and it's impossible to have fun after finding that out

Been away from the thread for a little bit, so let's have a screenshot roundup of the last three days of happenings amongst the Real SEA Hours™ crew.This will be my last set of uploads here, as I'll be M.I.A for the Valentine's Day 'shoot later this afternoon. Can't be helped, I'm afraid.One last ride, here we go!We begin with what appears at first glance to be a trip to the Card Developer's workshop. Furniture looks the same, the star-print ceiling looks the same, even the startlingly accurate recreation of the sanctum's wooden astrolabe could easily be mistaken for the genuine article. But nope, this is the actually the inner sanctum for the Star Muses, messengers of the gods.Evidently, whoever designed the Card Developer's prized workshop must have been a huge fan. Or a huge fraud, one of the two.[1/13]
>>2240105We decided to cast off the glamorous veil for a moment, catching a glimpse of what our real armor actually looked like underneath our normally-sharp dresses.Do understand the appeal of predefined Outfits, as many of them look quite nice, but there's still novelty to be had in seeing your true equipment changing piece-by-piece as you climb through the ranks.[2/13]
>>2240108Behold, the completed Level 38 "Elder" set of crafted Cloth Armor...!Yes, I'm fully aware this outfit makes me look like I've just stumbled out of a scene rave circa 2005, but given this title's age, this would've been the height of fashion amongst casters in some corners of the realm at the time.[3/13]
>>2240110A nice shot of all three of us lined-up, as sunset casts the flowing waters of Antecar a lovely lilac hue.Made the outfit for our marque marksman myself, and it wasn't even that tough, thanks to the discovery of Success Potions found at the Curiosities Dealer. +25% success rate when crafting (+50% for the more-pricey variants) is a huge boon for sure.[4/13]
>>2240112Dungeon time!First, a little free-range hexing cast upon our enemies. Dawn Prophet comes equipped with one hell of a powerful punch of magic early on, albeit on a minute-long cooldown.Blast your target silly, and get back to healing. You're still the party's sole lifeline, after all.[5/13]
>>2240113Another action shot, featuring ninjas and bubbles (together at last).Not very sneaky, these ones were. Someone 'aught to check in with the ninja academy, if it's producing duds like these.[6/13]
>>2240114 A cloud appears above your head A beam of light comes shining down on you Shining down on you Come on, I couldn't have been the only one who imagined the intro theme for the English dub of Knights of the Zodiac/Saint Seiya playing whenever someone donned their fancy Zodiac Armor. It's right there in the name...![7/13]
>>2240117Our finest of marksman had to bow-out somewhat early in the evening, not wanting to miss their beauty rest prior to our final photoshoot.It's been an honor serving with (You), hell of a fine sharpshooter 'ya were.[8/13]
>>2240119Level 40 is a highly anticipated moment in any Zodiac Knight's career, as that's when a free Battle Pet Capsule is bestowed upon those fortunate enough to reach such lofty heights.It's a special occasion for sure, with plenty of incredible avatars to potentially call at your command... Yet unfortunately, mine was a little lacking compared to the rest of the pantheon (and also didn't have very good unique skills).Spun the wheel a few times more with some spare Stardust, and lucked into landing a Hireophant instead!With unmatched healing capabilities, and one heck of a fine aura to boost a party's Max HP, seldom a lasting scratch will besmirch your allies... At the cost of potentially blinding you whilst walking around with your HP raised to the skies (fortunately Pet Effects can be disabled if necessary).[9/13]
>>2240124For our final trip abroad, our group's resident tank took us to the frozen north, land of rugged vikings and fearsome mermaids.Both were easy compared to the weather, though, as the real challenge here was not becoming frozen solid during our brief expedition through these frigid mountain passes. Really should've packed some more well-covering clothes for the occasion...[10/13]
>>2240125As a celebration of how far we'd made it, you'd best believe we broke out into a dance number after finding a safe place to strut. Our crew's tank made a custom step-chart just for the occasion, no less, very fancy stuff.Even in the frozen wastes, there's always time to light-up the dance floor.[11/13]
>>2240129Another take on the above, cheering at our successes during our time in this realm.The little voicelines your character would play during their emotes were cute. Bit odd you couldn't hear your own, though.[12/13]
>>2240131And thus, my stay in this realm comes to an end. For now, anyway.Perhaps I'll swing by again somewhere down the line. There's clearly so much more of this title to dig into, so many spells left to learn and crafts left to build. Yet I suspect the time I've spent here, with this crew on these ever-short days, will mark the peak appeal of this title's run without equal.It's been fun, lads. Glad I came back for this two-week romp. See (You) beautiful bunch in another land, someday, somewhere![13/13]
>>2240136Thank you for playing! This was a fun game to play together.
With the two weeks coming to a close, I figured it'd be entertaining to share a screenshot from the very first day, wearing starting clothes as total beginners.
>>2240424Looks comfy So full of hopewish I could have been there
>>2240131>>2240129Cute shimapan
>>2239507It's never goodbye. We can always meet up in Islet Online.
Thank you everyone who played, this was a lot of fun! Some screenshots from today's photo session, starting with a hidden area we stumbled upon.
>>2219538Will I meet a wife in this game?
>>2242683Considering everyone in the first 300 posts of this thread has left already, your odds are very unlikely.I want to play more of this game, but it is so incredibly boring solo. You NEED to be in a large party to get any meaningful exp whatsoever, and there's basically no one in the lower level brackets now that the mmodventure has moved on.
