Pangya US site finally up

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.

Pangya USA Coming or Going or something…

From Ntreev:

Here at Ntreev USA, we are excited to announce the launch of the official Pangya Website on March 12th, 2009. This introduction of the Ntreev USA Pangya site will be initially limited to just a number of key features. Players will be able to access the Official Ntreev USA Pangya Forum, Announcements and Updates as they are posted. Don’t fret though, this is only the beginning! Our teams are hard at work to provide “the” fully operational official Ntreev USA Pangya website. We hope you are all as excited about these new changes as we are, and we promise to have things up and running as soon as possible.

Please keep in mind, the official Ntreev USA launch of Pangya will be late March, 2009! We’ll keep you posted.

Again, thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you back out on the greens.

– Ntreev USA Pangya Team

Umm okay…so now it’s late March 2009.

Bright Shadow Weekly Update 3/10

This week’s BS update is another lottery update. I don’t do the lottery thing anymore but I do enjoy looking at the screenshots to see what the new designs are. I do think this time they are quite hideous. It’s not the China Dress that I dislike per say, but it’s the gold & brown design that makes me want to puke rainbows.

What really bothers me is the “other” items that you can win are things that only last for x amount of days. Like “panda doll” weapon, only lasts 30 days. Come on really? I also noticed items like “Wing of Phoenix” which is used to resurrect the dead as well as scrolls that move you to St. Meteor or St. Ryu (or whaever it’s called). This confirms my suspicions that there are no “return to home point” items in this game in addition to no “resurrect” items that can be bought/obtained by normal non cash shop means. This is probably the “worst” thing that I’ve seen in this game and since the fields are all pretty close together, and there are teleporters to multiple areas.

Bright Shadow: Basic Interface

bsint01 So in an ongoing attempt to get more non Japanese speaking friends to play I bring you – the interface! This won’t translate quests for you, but don’t be lazy and use the JP wiki along with Jim Breen like the rest of us! 😆

Anyway the first part of the interface above is pretty self explanatory. You got your red HP and blue MP bar. The yellow is the earned exp bar. The “SP” bar is part of the whole Bright Shadow system. You need SP to use attacks, but you can also convert it to HP or MP. In addition you need it to feed your pets or they will return to egg status. The expel/leave commands are for your party members. Once the purple balls on the right of your status thingy fill up, you can use the Bright Shadow icon thing which will basically increase your walking speed as well as attack and defense for a short period of time. This gauge increases as you fight monsters.
