[Harajuku]

someone was they just got vid of the elv f and the hume ... at the beginning of the video the taru is running ahead of them... they seem to be in a pty with the other 2 members info at the middle far right of the screen.... all have equal hp and mp seems like 300 hp 100 mp

Yay, so Lalafell don't lack in HP anymore it seems. This further influences my choice to roll as a tank.

Bercus, what do you mean by this?

I am posting what I can, find, copy, paste ect right now. Not my statement .
Once I am at home I can do more detailed research on german sites.

I think about driving there on Saturday with high tech equipment from my friend lol.

Fixed.

Sorry but WoW didn't invent this or anything in MMOs.

The draw distance is insaneeeeeeee

[Kryssan]

from where?

Also link is broken for that cologne directory.

Not broken, just flooded out. I can load images from time to time. Too much server traffic, heh.

[crazyrabbit]

At the beginning of the video the chat says something along the lines of
"ability "swordfight" aquired - ability "swordfight" raised to 21 - you killed the group of Dodos"

a little later it says

"xxx attacks gcuser030 with attack from behind but missed - xxx attacks gcuser030 with a critical attack"

looks like the direction of the attack has some meaning

near the end after he kills the first of the two dodos it says

"you deafeated the dodo - the dodo gave 4637 ability points for the skill "swordfight" - the dodo gave 4425 ability points for the skill "swordfight - the level of the special ability "swordfight" has risen to xxx"

[Kurp]

Thanks for the translations.

[Cheerios]

Fixed.

Sorry but WoW didn't invent this or anything in MMOs.

lol k

Not for this topic though, but that is a pretty retarded statement.

[McGoonagle]

chatlog:

-the shield of gcuser140 is back to normal

Hmmm... Does that mean the shield had adds during the fight that wore, or that it was damaged and was repaired?

Can a weapon fail during a fight forcing you to re-equip?

Yay, so Lalafell don't lack in HP anymore it seems. This further influences my choice to roll as a tank.

plus if you look in the vid when the archer is chasing the 3 dodo's look ahead of them by tree they seem to be chasing the taru.... sry not used to lalafell or w/e yet.

[Gokulo]

Don't count on that too much. It's an alpha build and with those we generally just get some random stats picked, and they don't bother to differentiate between characters.

[Akiyama]

Honestly when the video started and I saw the area in the distance, I thought it was some shitty background, but the fact that it's the draw distance and I'm guessing it's all explorable.. then holy shit.

[Kryssan]

Yeah, stats and attacks at this point I would kind of argue against being worthwhile, since they're probably beefed up for the trial plays. Needs more data.

[VaguStae]

Not broken, just flooded out. I can load images from time to time. Too much server traffic, heh.

I just got a 404 on that page when I refreshed it.

>< Sorry, guys. Lol.

[fussel]

Further notes:

Below the quest name, it says "Fight specific monsters"

The image in the top right looks like a card from the Guildleve system.

Besides the image is a timer counting down.

[Aevis]

it's an alpha demo. i wouldn't take any status/values you see for granted.

[Harajuku]

Don't count on that too much. It's an alpha build and with those we generally just get some random stats picked, and they don't bother to differentiate between characters.

Yeah after I posted that I thought about that. Well, here's to hoping anyways. Lol.
