Shin Megami Tensei MMOG coming to America

[schild]

I've found that the vast majority is soloable if you build your devils really well.

What's giving you problems? Suginami Grey or maybe the access corridor or whatever?

Suginami Gray. I'm just using the Brave Garm that was given to me. I got to some starfish mob, and it killed me in one hit.

You should join up with us in game. That quest gives 100k exp bonus. They give EXCELLENT INCENTIVES to group in this game.

The Decarbia sub-boss will make you cry unless you're really on the spot with dodge.  It's spells can one shot most people.  And it doesn't have alot of vulnerabilities, so it takes a while to kill with 1-2 people.  Just hit us up in game and we can run you through it pretty fast.

That starfish sucks.  He's the boss of Suginami Silver as well.  To beat him, Vu and I pinned him against a wall and just used normal attacks to keep him interrupted.

The only thing I don't like about the game is that when a mob is knocked back from being shot (even the brief "I've been hit"), my melee attacks will not fire.  In the early dungeons, it's actually more dangerous for me to group than solo, because it messes with my timing and often the mob will smack me when it recovers.  I've taken to switching to my demon while I'm set to guard.  Because of that, pinning something against a wall usually gets me dead.  I try to avoid it.  That's why we had to stumble across that strategy for beating the starfish.

I'm melee, and schild is gun, what we've been doing lately is splitting up the mobs.  I kill anything he can't easily drop with the gun, or anything that's aggroing him, for the most part.  Grouping up on a mob other than a boss is pretty much a pain.

I'll try to hook up with you guys tonight. How do I find you?

I like money.

Basically bug Schild in game (as schild, no caps, it matters) for a guild invite.  I think he's the only one able to do invites right now.

MMOGs will never change.

[Aez]

I tried it.  Seems bugged.  I can't read any story because it plays very very fast.

The only solution I have seen for that is to (re)install directx 9.0c. Probably need 10 for Vistard.

quit quitting you whores

[schild]

I didn't quit, I'm making a game. It took precedence.

It had better be a hardcore pvp game with looting.

[Lantyssa]

I'm busy dying here, but haven't quit.  I even added species varient lookups to my database, today.  (Still need to add skills though.  Meh.)

Also I need extra demon and inventory storage badly.  I'm culling things well beyond my norms and I'm still almost out of space.  It's tough to play when I can't pick anything up.

quit quitting you whores

I'm just taking a break this weekend from it.  Had other things to do.  Will probably be around tomorrow though.

[Ard]

Well, here's the moment I've been waiting for.  The Item Mall opens up at 2PM PST today.  This will determine if I quit today or actually start playing again.  At aeria prices for their games, my money is on quitting, but we'll see in a few hours.

[Lantyssa]

Please be reasonable.  Please be reasonable.  Please be reasonable. ...

Demon Storage is 600 AP for 30 days.  Additional Item Storage is 400 AP.

Some of their methods give bonus AP, so using PayPal for $10 you get 1300 AP.  $5 will give you 650 AP, enough for one of the storages.  First time buyers get an addition 35% bonus.

Keep in mind part of that bonus is due to their one time, by midnight tonight only, promotion.  Normally the point value pretty much correlates directly to what you see on screen.  $1.00 = 100 points.

I think I'm out, except for occasional fits of boredom, unless they change their price structure.  The game doesn't have enough content to justify $6 a month in demon storage alone, much less anything else on top of it.  And fuck $4 for shoes and gloves, and $6-10 for body, legs, and weapons, especially when they have durability and can break.  An outfit, without accessories, is going to run you $20-25 for everything.  That doesn't strike me as reasonable, especially since they already have their monthly hooks into you for the banks, and potentially xp increasers.
