[Game Servers] Intermittent Disconnections
15 Jul 2010

Dear Gamers,

We are aware that some of you are encountering intermittent disconnections and high latency issues after the game servers went live.

A long 3 days...

A Long 3 Day Maintenance

A long 3 day break from Granado Espada, well it was a huge waste of my 30 day wings as well as premium treasure boxes. Ive also been getting 2 days of 3-player-game-losses getting 1 SC from it. Boo. Well, hoping that when the new sever migration is up the lag would be lesser and the crafting of stance rings would be re-implemented. As well as hoping that the compensation of 30 day premium items would be worthwhile the loss. In the mean time, my training of master elementalist and reckless has been put on hold due to IAH's long maintenance.

Things to do when sever is back up:
- Farming more Vet B cards
- Master all 3 of my Eles
- Maxing ETR and Master Wizard's stances (Madness & Power of Darkness)
- Mastering 2nd Calyce
- Mastering Ania
- Crafting Elite El-Sol (Possibly 2x) or Black Bishop

Regarding Madness & Power of Darkness:-

Madness:
I seriously don't know how to max them out, i have sat through a whole 2 afternoon potting my reckless emilia (now expert) and it has only reach stance level of 17, after past 20 i think it would take way longer than just 2 more afternoons to max it out.

Power of Darkness:
Having my wizard at master level, it would take a even longer time to max out the stance compared to madness, which i probably would spend more than a week trying to max out the stance. (Baw) But it is no hurry as i am not using my wizard/reckless for cw or pvp, just for lulz.

Where do i go now? // 4.5 Finally....

Where Do I Go From Here?

Factionless again.... Crackspada members have finished our haitus and have decided to go our own ways. Where do i go from here?... Small faction? Stay factionless? Back to symbols? Quit the game? Where do i go?.... Who Knows (again)....

4.5? Finally...

http://ge.iahgames.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?id=1426
Manual Patch (4.5) or Full Client

Finally its out on the 24th June, although not the full release patch details have been released but still finally the long awaited 4.5 has been released. Finally there would be new content and new raids to try out, and new quest to finish. Seems interesting, but as usual when the patch is complete... new problems will arise! Same old same old.... We shall see on Thursday when its out. I'll probably only get home around midnight and try it only after emergency maintenance and some major problems are rectified. (Downloading the manual patch now though, dont want to wait for the automatic patching ~_~)

Colony war

Yes, yet another overdue post.. this post was suppose to be up around 5 days ago. Busy with life issues as usual, so.... here goes:

Sunday's war was the usual with us trying to help symbols fiend off breakers outside the colony entrance to help them buy off some time. Nevertheless, we had our own agenda which was random roaming and killing. We only had 1 epic fight (as seen on ss below), which involved us fully buffed as well as them, thus we could fight on even grounds even though we were severely out numbered.

It was all good fight with us 3 (Maki, Fuhren, Me) and 1 or 2 Vanira members within the map, we were fully buffed thus we were able to withstand a larger amount of families for a longer period of time. Until....

the horde came and we got mobbed and died ):
Oh well, it was a good war though, although we had alot of trouble fighting a large number of families at one time, still we had a heap of fun. (Except certain airheads which trashtalk and yet are not capable of backing up their trash, trash they are indeed).. I shall not elaborate on this issue since it has been "settled and forgotten". Going to look forward to this week's war, hopefully i can finish work in time for colony war at home, i dont want to head over to icafe although my work place is near icafe haha. Reset is always full of surprises, what will this week's colony rest hold?

Regarding the free name change,
i forsee a huge number of imposters? maybe? haha who knows... but im not going to change my name lolx. Wont be used to seeing myself as another family name. But maybe i might change my mule's names haha.

My first crackspada war.... (liek 2 weeks ago)

My First War with Crackspada

My first war with crackspada, although it was suppose to be posted 2 weeks ago but i've been busy all week and had been down with food poisoning for 3 days. Haven't been online much and have been sleeping like a dead person for 2-3 days. I think im leaving earth and joining the underworld soon if i continue this rate of sleeping. Anyway... the screenies i took....

And: SHAKYSPEARE STOP COPYING MY KUKUTEAM OF 2 ROMINAS AND 1 SCOUT!!!111! lolol. You are a suck! First you say that im using a kuku team now you copy me!!! lol. you suckkk dieeee! ahahahaha.

Basically the summary of the war: L A G, massive families warping in together = epic lag storm.
Anyway as colony war progressed lesser and lesser person were left due to unforseen circumstances. Delkhaze was first to leave due to epic lag and hang time on her side, second to go down was Alfender with her laptop overheating, third to go down was Raphanel which was distracted by other stuff and went to surf the net and left her characters afk in town.

My laptop also overheated and i was pvping with my crummy touchpad. Bah. The lag was horrible but i had my share of fun. Havent joined colony war for a long period of time and am now very out of touch of sGE, took sometime to get use to the controls.

NurseJoy be awesome.

I have just been notified that maki is gay.

My Opinions on the Dragonic Weapons:
[ABS] Dragonic Weapons have arrived!
10 May 2010

The long awaited weapons are here in SGE! It will be released in ABS from 14 May to 21 May 2010. These weapons will be the top loots of the ABS table. To whet your appetite further, take a look at the pictures below:

(Pictures at http://ge.iahgames.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?id=1397)

Well, its another IAH milking scheme! Limited to 7 days! Firstly, ive pretty much left sGE as a retired player who refuses to spend anymore (until further notice).

Well the release of these 32AR weapons with fire element damages, will probably cause the market to crash even further. I believe that when IMC released these weapons in GE in other countries it is to help bridge the distance between newer players and current players. Apperently when its released in sGE, it seperates the line between paying class players and casual players even more. The paytards would spam their cash trying to get this 32ar dragon series weapon, since its only limited for 7 days i would stir up some crazy-rage to get it.
Way to go IAH, milk the players more! lolx.

Market for weapons will now crash due to the ability to gain better-than-serpent/chess-weapons via ABS. In sGE, invest on weapons is sufficient having good armor is moot since weapons are so much easier to obtain and can be easily obtain by spending large sums of cash on Gpoints or RMT.

Thank goodness ive left my paytard days behind and is now spending my money on buying non-pixelated things.

Hmm, i need to trade off some of my items for a new laptop :/

#65
You guide very the chui leh, want me to bring you to Novia/sekhmet and mufasa/boa to improve your guide? those guide outdated even a new comer in 2 weeks can do those guide already

#69

#89

#95
You talked like the update is coming etc, miss you don`t know yet who is IAH , delay and spoiler kings =)

#98
I guess for 0 experience player like you the mindset is the same =) , for raiders the raid that can be raided is made into something not even worth to go anymore because it cost more to go . You can`t put yourself in our shoes because you don`t have the basic weapon/build/armor like Us in the first place because you don`t spend much money on the game . We ain`t upset because people who spend can get the items they want. To us even if you get, your ability to craft and your ability to make use of it is another issue. We ain`t interested low-mid range player getting the items, or trying their best to get to the same level. The issue now is what is there to raid in this raiding game when they just release everything into abs/helena LOL? get the point?

#101
You are stupid i guess, raid for fun? i go diablo better spacebar = raid liao . Use your brain not your backside

#103
She won`t understand want , she say go raid boa for fun leh , paying extra to raid for something i can pay cheaper. This one call raid? Stupid person will do it . Arconis i advice you to buck up and go try first before you ask people to raid for fun. Don`t make yourself a joke

#105

(shuts up for liek 40 posts)
#157
They are raging why? Because the BOA raid is made into a useless raid. Plus wasting so much effort to chip the stuff this is the POINT, do you really think hope and will can help much to balance? ELB/ELN are the one that can help balance but sorry not Will and hope.

#168
you got 0 point to argue in the first place.

#202
He wannabe

#239
Less spending, cheaper a lot to spam

#241
Yep abs is cheaper than raiding BOA now

#301
Screw yourself , we don`t give a fcuk you cannot experience because you don`t have the ability for being a lazy bum but only can stay in forum and be a attention seeker

#318

Titled: Nice ABS update loot list from IAH
http://forum.iahgames.com/ge/showthread.php?t=69328

My POV:
Yes, i agree somewhat that IAH has "destroyed" raids, but it still dosent mean they're worthless to down, its either money for time or time for money. I used to bitch about the abs/hcof loots when i was tightly chasing to be "top" players but i realized that its still a game. It changes and more challenges come up and IAH is trying to narrow the gap between Mid level players and Top level players, which is pretty scray yes, but inevitable. If you want to stay top, keep up the trend not bitch and cry whenever IAH changes loot table? SO WHAT if Will/Hope of Argus is in ABS? Im sure those BITCHING ppl BUY and USE abs as well? SELF-CONTRADICTING i say, stop whining play the game, if you want to stay top keep up if you cant stfu and go jack off to your pixels.
