Bright Shadow Weekly Update 3/17

Nice grand cross.
Nice grand cross.

This week Bright Shadow adds yet another lottery item. At least this one doesn’t make you look like Jane of the Jungle. One of the other lottery items is a new mount. I’m assuming it will be speed +60 like all cash lottery mounts are. Also they introduced a new system (which is actually a pretty major update). It appears to be some sort of mentor system where players level 40+ can choose to be a “mentor” for a noobie and then help them level up. Basically this will give some sorts of bonuses to the noob in addition to attack bonuses when they do combos if I understand correctly.

Also it seems they have updated a few skills but my kanji reading skills are pretty useless for this so other than the fact that most updates are for mages, I have no idea what the changes are. All I understand is they adjust I think either the effect length of time or the cast time for a few mage/wizard/taoist skills. Some gunner skills have been adjusted too but I’m unfamiliar with gunner skills so I can’t comment. Finally prizes for some login event have all been given out. Too bad this event was in February when I was wasting my life playing Ichigaya Silver over & over in Megaten. 🙄

Ntreev USA added an update to the Pangya site about their privacy policy & terms of service. It’s a pretty standard TOS, if you fuck with us, we’ll ban your ass type of deal. However here are some interesting tidbits that I picked out. Continue reading “A closer look at Ntreev’s TOS”

So even though I got my Wii last week I was stuck playing Wii golf until today when the game finally came 🙄 Anyway since JP wasn’t home I decided to start on story mode or whatnot with Hana.

Bright Shadow Game Notes & Gripes

bsnotesSince there’s really no English resource anywhere for Bright Shadow I guess my blog will have to be it for now. (Hopefully one day some company will pick this game up but who knows maybe it’s too expensive??) While playing BS for the past 2 weeks I learned a lot of new things and game mechanics which I figured I’d share instead of trying to explain them to you guys in game in the little chat box 😕

Pangya US site finally up

So much for March 12...
So much for March 12...

Well I waited all day Thursday but it was midnight EST time and it still wasn’t up so I went to bed. No offense to Ntreev, but this isn’t exactly the best first impression I am getting of the company. Promising to release the site on a certain date then releasing it in the very last hours of that date? 🙄 Whatever.

Now that the site is up, it’s quite obvious we’re in season 3. This basically puts Pangya US on the same level as GOA, save for a few lottery items. Since we’re still in S3, I hope they at least a) fix the guild chat b) add tourney awards collection (as in like best speeder, best driver etc.) and c) split up the servers properly (one for sellers, one for tourneys, one for vs) but that’s probably wishful thinking.

The only thing I want right now is for my super swing golf 2 for the wii to arrive in the mail (time to complain to Newegg) because my excitement for US Pangya sorta died now. I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t even think they will transfer our accounts anymore. Hopefully I’m proven wrong.
