Tartaros official service start

As of 1/27 (this Wednesday), 3PM Japan time Tartaros will end its open beta and roll out the official service. A few notes:

Both Gaia & Zeus servers will get a 6th channel added to them for more space
A new “security card” system will be implemented which I guess will store your login info so you don’t have to type in your login/pw everytime.
Those who participated in the open beta test will receive 150 MK Cash (What about those of us who participated in CB, where’s my 500 cash??? 😡 )
Item shop will officially open but it will contain expiring items – so like an outfit that lasts only 30 days. Meh :T I hate stuff you pay for with real money that expires. Not worth it in my opinion. As far as I know the only cash items that are permanent are hair styles and hair colors.

Tartaros has been a lot of fun. I hit level 24 yesterday, I’m enjoying the game so much I’ve almost completely lost interest in Pangya. Anyway looking forward to official service, I really hope the addition of the 6th channel allows for less lag and actually being able to get into the game at peak hours.

PangyaUS to rip people off with (UN)lucky bags!

Either Pangya USA loves to copy Pangya JP or Gamepot has taken full operation of all Pangya servers. That’s right this week Pangya US is release the infamous UNlucky bags. Before all you crazy money spenders think you’ll get lucky let me give you some stats from Japan.

This year I bought 10 bags, won 2 rares. My friend bought 9 and won 1. Another friend bought 4 and won 0. Some fellow Japanese friends bought 10 and won 0, some bought 30 and won 0. Basically the rates are shit, but since this is PangyaUS we’re talking about, that means the rates are gonna be like 1 in 100. Let’s compare to bunny outfits. In Japan I got my bunny outfit on the 3rd try out of 11. On US it seems you need at least 24 tickets average to get 1 outfit. Needless to say this is gonna be a huge money sink and if you value your money, I wouldn’t waste it on this.

I’m pretty amused to be honest. First they rip off Japan’s gacha, then they get Bunny outfits before Korea and now this. Something’s cooking in the background and this is further proof that no, Korea does not “control everything”.

I’m looking at the misc items though it says stuff like “xxx comet” does that mean you get like 1 ball? in Japan at least you get 100 of them lol. Oh well for those who wish to try, enjoy your duo-star nerve stabilizers! 😆

P.S. In Japan they call these the “melancholy pouches”

I’m gonna get carpal tunnel at this rate x_x;

I love Tartaros I really do, but this keyboard thing is KILLING my hands. I don’t know why I didn’t have this problem in closed beta but after the first day my right hand is facking killing me and my left hand’s not too far behind. This is kinda why I couldn’t play games like Maple Story back in the day, too much heavy focus on keyboard pressing. Am I the only one having this problem? Is everyone else ok? :S

I’ve been partying like crazy with everyone for mission quests the last few days but I think I wanna take a break and do the scenario quests. I REALLY wanna unlock Aerlot and the other mage guy. Sorry if I haven’t seen you in game yet, once I figure out how the hell to create guilds I’ll make one so we can be in touch a little easier ^^

Tartaros ~Play With Maintenance~

Yeaa I feel like they did like 10 hours of maintenance today or something. I finally got to play after work and boom 2 hours later “sorry gaiz maintenance!” 🙄

Anyway yea I had to recreate my character because they erased everything from closed beta. How sad. 😦 Also be sure you have your GPU option off or else there’s no voices during the cut scenes (finally got the damn things to work.) If you want to play in window mode but you want a resolution higher than 800 x 600, set it to whatever resolution you want then you can actually stretch the edges of your client to fit properly. I wonder why I never tried this in CB, maybe because they couldn’t do it in CB? I don’t know. Continue reading “Tartaros ~Play With Maintenance~” →

Tartaros OB Campaigns

I think OB started now ?_? I got the email with the client download link overnight so I’ll try to jump in after work. A couple OB events are going on

1) Login & make a character between 1/14 and 1/18 and you get entered in a drawing to win some webmoney and MKStyle points.
2) Level up campaign, if you get to level 10 you get 10 insta-revive scrolls (if you die you can instantly revive on the spot basically, an efficient item for solo grinding!), get to level 15 and get 5 more scrolls (what’s the point lol) and get to level 20 and receive 30,000 riru (the game currency).
3) 1/15-1/17 riru 1.5x event so you can earn more in game currency to…uh buy potions if you plan to grind solo. Otherwise I’ve not seen too much use for ingame currency, at least not in closed beta.
