If you have lots of cash to drop on it you might have fun. |

There are silks which are a relatively rare drop. There are also items in the Merit shop (Merit is gained from killing bosses, certain quests, and killing other nation players) |

Your soldiers loyalty does go down if you AFK grind.
You should try climbing into one of the ballista in town, it's quite interesting. Can't wait till we can get to fire them. I also like the Sky Balloon transport system. You actually have to wait to get around the world instead of teleporting everywhere but it is still much faster than running. It's a pretty interesting game and even though there is quite a bit of grind, the fact you can afk grind makes up for it a bit. Quests also give quite a lot of EXP.
I'm also on Shu, ingame name Asch. |

No, not like every other company that runs "Free to play" games. I've played F2P games that are pretty balanced between paying players and free players. For the most part, if you worked hard, you could keep up with paying players. I played one of TQDigital's games called Conquer Online for several years, and I (who had been playing two years consecutively with my brother and cousin) could be beaten by someone who had played for two weeks and dropped a bit of cash into the game. They also made it so that the damage you dealt in PvP was based on the "potency" of your equipment vs other players. Based on the quality, number of sockets, upgrades etc of your equipment your damage would be lowered by up to 50%, before counting damage modifiers such as defense. I went from dealing 500+ damage to some players to dealing 20 damage. Considering these people have upwards of 10k HP it meant that killing them went from difficult to impossible. TQDigital does not do anything to punish botters/hackers if they pay money. In Conquer Online they had a system called "Bot Jail" that you could get out of by buying from their website. I knew one player who had spent over $5000 on the game and I hear there are players who have spent $30k. I may try the game, but I know I'm not going to stay. |

I was thinking of trying it, looked to be a solid game and was something original. Then I saw TQDigital was the ones publishing it. TQDigital can take a great game and ruin it by trying to bleed their customers for all they are worth. |

From what I hear, the Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese Item shops don't affect PvP much at all. Yes, there are items that prevent gear from breaking, but that's not too bad since the game isn't 1v1 on GvG. But I haven't logged in since the the item shop was released so this might not be entirely true. |

Just a quick heads up: After opening the AIKA client, before hitting START, you can hit Settings -> Video and set Screen Resolution to Desktop Resolution. Should stop the pesky changing of desktop. |

Level 15 and I've played a total of 6 hours. |

Originally posted by joker007mo well i bluffed it off as me giving my pran a personality maybe dk but some of the questions were awkward like "how should i be answering this in case its a hack or something " and i might add im glad i didnt sell the outfit i obtained other wise i woulda had a little girl in underwear running around idk but i felt the pran should have an outfit on to start with which was weird to say the least i was playing the cleric so my pran had yet to be anything useful to me though in no way did it seem i wouldnt eventually get to use her more effectively i cant say i dont like aika either since i did tell my cousin about it but its mainly the fact it was free
Well in CBT the Pran was asking some pretty strange questions as well. Mine asked me where I would go for a vacation and other strange things. What Nation are you? And I have my cousin playing it also. He's getting upset that his schoolwork is getting in the way of his playing time. |

General: Digimon Battle: Open Beta Begins!
News Discussion « General Discussion 3/18/10 2:46:38 PM
Digimon is 10x better than Pokemon Ash was an idiot who released his highest evolved pokemon and kept a pikachu with him. He failed miserably. Besides, Digimon could die whereas pokemon just fainted.
Guessing this game isn't going to be too great, but I might give it a try. |

Well everybody gets another chance to try it out. February 24th is 2nd closed beta test. |

French and English? The game is available in Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese. They don't have it in French (that I know of). Also, you don't need to change the code for each language, as long as the computer can support a certain programming language (not speaking language) its not a problem. They just need to change the quest scripts and the interface language.
And there really does need to be a bug testing section. There were quite a few bugs that were server related. Such as the disconnect for speed hacking bug that happened when you had auto-attack on. |

The combat systems are quite different due to the 3D (flying) nature of Perfect World's (PW) combat vs. the 2D nature of AIKA's. AIKA also supports a lot more players and is more free in the PvP/PK sense.
PW does not have PK till 30, and the player needs to be flagged unless they are on the PvP server.
AIKA also supports more players in PvP, not due to system specs/lag limitations but technical limitations. PW at most will have 200v200 PvP at its best case scenario. Two Tier 3 Guilds with all players fighting during territory wars. This would be quite impressive and would more than fill my need for PvP (maybe better than AIKA), but the problem is that it is just two sides fighting and ends up being not as interesting. On the PvE server, there may end up being as many people PvPing as in AIKA, but it is much more difficult to control (no insta-messaging your entire nation) and the PvP system of PW was not designed with this in mind. One interesting thing about AIKA is the idea of diplomacy with other nations. You ally with a nation since you hear that two others are ganging up to attack you. Your ally is helping protect your relics, when all of a sudden they remove themselves as allies, steal your relics and run away with them. This kind of stuff won't happen in PW and would make things quite a lot of fun.
About the bugs section:
Note: I looked up Perfect World's PvP systems in addition to their guild systems and a few videos of the PvP. Similar target/skill/attack system but the overall combat ends up being more challenging due to managing flying abilities in Perfect World. So Perfect World wins out over AIKA in a 1v1 up to 200v200, but the idea of massive amounts of players from different nations all fighting together is what wins out AIKA PvP for me. Guess it will all boil down to the cash shop.
Here is a Q&A and a Review (by Jaime Skelton, some of her articles are on the front page here on MMORPG.com) Review: http://mmohut.com/editorials/aika-closed-beta-review Q&A: http://www.massiveonlinegamer.com/news/special-features/453-aika-online-qaa The Q&A addresses some of the issues you brought up in your previous arguments, and the Review shares a bit of the "the laggy/choppyness was only happening to a few people" idea I was trying to get across earlier. The customization is worse than she says but the rest is pretty spot on.
Oh, and make sure you remove the downloader (Pando Media Booster) that downloaded the game, it acts like a torrent client and can get quite annoying. |

Originally posted by Tanon , Yes, the client is two years old, but it has yet to be patched. So we still have the original buggy client released to the other servers two years ago. I've played the other servers and quite a few of the issues you brought up did not exist. The issue with moving through the rock was most likely lag on your end. What are your computer specs, connection specs and location? I admit, they did not have to use daughters for it, but guess what, they did. If you have a problem with it, keep yours in fairy mode or don't play. Not really hard to deal with. Besides you brought up the Pran way later after your first post so I don't see why I am still replying to it. Conquer Online (back when I played) definitely required skill. Back when I played +12 didn't exist and I saw ONE person with full 2 soc (I made sure to get several screenshots of this). The highest people got were +6 which was amazing and since there was no potency/battle power it meant nothing. Being able to take on full super trojans with a full elite trojan and win definitely was skill. Godly gear only became an issue after TQ introduced lottery, 2nd reborn and BP. You didn't even address Ace Online...
5. Then just write out Darkfall and if it doesn't say online after it why is it DFO? 6. Yup. Taiwanese server is fun. 7. I'll give you this one, the graphics on the game aren't that great but when you are in a large battle with no lag and with the current graphical setting I think its more than a fine tradeoff. 8. Hmm the Pran system is pretty well advertised but you forgot to mention some of the other PvP systems. You act as if there is only one PvP system being advertised. There are quite a few instanced PvP modes that are mentioned under the general PvP heading but the way you have worded it seems like there is only the nation battles. 9. Gonna pull a card from your book ;) "Did you experience it yourself?" No you didn't. Well I was bored one night and done with classes so I decided to get on in time for a war. It actually was rather exciting. The PvP system in AIKA isn't all that bad, yes it is the standard PvP system that is overdone to death but until people get non-targeting PvP done right its what we are stuck with. 10. There is such a system. 11. Said before, be more specific, write out Darkfall. You said yourself there are so many things that could fit into the Darkfall acronym. |
