A Tale in the Desert : Body Discipline Guide, Part II
Posted Sep 23, 2009 by Dana Massey
In the second half of a guide to the Body Discipline in A Tale in the Desert II (for part one, click here), Correspondent Clarence Krueger II, talks about how to do safaris and more.
At level eight, you are able to start the Test of the Singing Cicada. The Test of the Singing Cicada takes you all over Egypt and far from home. Upon signing up for the test, you are tasked with hunting for cicada cages, placing your own cicada cages, and earning points to earn speed point. When you reach seven speed, you will pass the test.
First, you will need to be sure you have sound on, be sure to turn sound all the way up, and the use of headphones will help. Cicada cages produce a distinctive sound and can be heard up to 50-60 coordinates away. The louder the sound, the closer you are to the cicada cage. Use of headphones can help you determine the direction the sound is coming from. Since cicada cages are fairly small, about the size of mushrooms, and can be hard to spot from afar, you will need to explore all over Egypt looking for cicadas to add to your collection.

Read it all here.
Is it still in its forced isometric 3D perspective, or have they gone fully 3D like other MMOs, such as AION, WoW, etc?
mmmmm a tail (tale) in the dessert(Desert). ...Well i hope shes a woman... just joking...lol
I will have to check this game out for sure.
Cool way to jump into the spotlight too.
mlauzon, it's 3D, has been for a long time. You can now zoom all the way in for 1st person & there are 4 or so types of views, from way out map/navigation views, to up close, OTS , etc. If this was/is your biggest gripe about the game then it's clearly not for you.
everytime i read about this game I come to the conclusion youd have to be a masochist to play.
You say that as if there's something wrong with that! ;-p
In any case, nowhere near as much of a maso as playing Eve Online <EG>.
