:PRESENTATION:

FEZ is a fantasy game placed in a medieval age, with 5 countries fighting eachother for the control of the crystals, a "Massively Multiplayer Online Action RPG x Strategy," which would make it an MMOARPGxS instead of an MMORPG.


The game promises to offer the fun of an MMORPG, with character building elements and battles taking place over a network. It also promises the depth of a real time strategy title where you team up in battle with friends. Finally, the action elements see players take control of a general.


FEZ is not at all just war. Also decoration of the character by the colorful equipment pleasantly is straw raincoat one. In the future such as casino and war of the enormous monster it is the schedule which many elements keep being added.


AND WHAT ABOUT THE GAME PLAY?!
Fez battle system actually it's pretty much different from any other medieval MMORPG, you move your character using WASD (keyboard keys) and using the mouse for aim your enemy, so it's PLAYER SKILLS BASED! If you're good, your chracter is good, it's not just point click and then leave like that! everything happens in REAL TIME, your character attacks and your enemy, you're being able do dodge by later dash and prepare your counter attack. Isn't this enough for you?

==ABOUT INSTALLING==

This link make you download the latest FE installer, don't worry about the size,
it's because the installer need to be downloaded from their servers, what you will have here
is a software to make that, or if you have problems a .torrent file.

http://www.fezero.jp/file_count.ashx?num=58720275

BE SURE YOU HAVE INSTALLED ASIAN LAGUAGES AND THAI (Thanks to Darc)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/Marcoper/Fix.jpg

BE SURE YOU'VE INSTALLED APPLOCALE (LOOK UPPER FOR LINKS&SITRUCTIONS)

THE FEZ_INSTALLER HAVE A FOLDER WHERE YOU HAVE A TORRENT FILE IF THE DOWNLOAD IS SO SLOW,
ANYWAY I SUGGEST TO LEAVE THE AUTO DOWNLOADER, AFTER 5-10 MINUTES IT WILL DOWNLOAD FASTER.

[4]
==STARTING OUT==

Ok, now let's start with the big talks, it seems like a lot of people had problems starting the game
and actually we there are many different cases and many different solutions.


Problem
"The updater doesn't start or it give me a problem"
Solutions
1) Wait, sometime it takes a bit for download all the list of updates you need to do
2) have you installed all the languages? Setted to korean non unicode programs?
Tried making the client start using applocale?


Problem
"FE just close after the update, and I can't do anything"
Solutions
1) have you installed all the languages? Setted to korean non unicode programs?
Tried making the client start using applocale?
2) Go to the FE configurator via START/PROGRAMS/FANTASY EARTH and turn the graphics (2nd tab) to "1/4", in the third tab put OFF, and click the little square in volume tab)

Problem
"WTF my screen have all shaded with white characters and stuff!"
http://img69.imageshack.us/my.php?im...thehelljb1.jpg
Solutions
Just press "H" lol


Problem
"I see this pop up!"
http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/1...roerrorcw2.png
Solutions

Set the graphics game to 1/4 and at 800x600, disable the sounds and the water efffects, and try again withouth any other program like torrents and stuff working, go to START/FANTASY EARTH/CONFIG

Thanks to KRIS for this!







Window Color choice :










In case you quit, you'll get this message :


(French Windows XP, sorry) -> [Yes] / [No] / [Cancel]



Problem
"Still not working after all this?"
Solutions
Welcome in the non-elitist players, AND LIKE ME now there is just one last resort for you:

USING A PARTITON MAKER PROGRAM LIKE PATITION MAGIC (google it) MAKE A NEW PARTITION IN YOUR HARD DISK (AT LEAST 10 GIGS)
AND INSTALL A NEW WINDOWS XP INSIDE IT
THEN WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO IS JUST INSTALL THE GAME AND ALL THE LANGUAGES LIKE I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU.

THE GAME WILL START SINCE YOU DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE SUCKING YOUR RAM, BUT IF THIS NOT WORK AS WELL, YOU'VE JUST WASTED ALL THAT TIME.
SO CROSS FINGERS

==CREATING YOU CHARACTER==
<<IN MAKING>>
BE SURE TO SELECT SERVER DAATH
AND AS THE FORCE TO JOIN THE YELLOW DAGGER
:::by clicking the BUTTON WITH THIS GIRL:::


[6]
:AVAIABLE CLASSES:



FOR DELETE YOUR CHARACTER
1) CLICK ON YOU LITTLE GUY
2) HOLDING "CTRL" AND CLICK THE THIRD OPTION
3) WAIT FOR 10 SECONDS (happy now? You've killed some Megabiytes from the server, RIP)



[7]
==I LOOK SO NOOB! WHERE I CAN GET EQUIPS?
In the main city you will find many icons on the map, well, the sword and the shield are the shops fo equipments,
and the little bottles are for potions and stuff.
Anyway MOBS drop equips too, so get ready, YOUR ADVENTURE I ABOUT TO BEGIN!


GAMEGUIDE

So you've made you really cool character didn't ya?
But,
Have you wondered how to control it?


At the first start there is a japanese tutorial, I know since you don't know the language just pass by pressing "H" when requested and "enter"

Now there is you keyboard configuration:

LOT OF COMMANDS TO BE ADDED SOON AS POSSIBLE (any help is welcome)



WHERE TO FIGHT?

FOR GET OUT OF THE CITY PRESS BACKSPACE/DELETE (look at the keyboard image in the case you've missed it)

You will se this pic, this is you world and you have to choose you country for train against low leveled monsters.




Now you will find this pic, this is you country, you will see that near the main city (CASTE ICON) there are some other
places, well those are low level areas for train while you're a newbie, the number of spiders means the difficoulty
of that map, 1 spider = LV 1-10 hunting spot.

:GAME FEATURES:



Thanks @ Ciroth
KvK (50 vs 50 war) (required at least LV5 for join and die lol)

KvK: Ready... set... go!
-This is what makes Fantasy Earth Zero a fun game. The KvK system allows 50 players of one nation to face off 50 players of another nation. When joining KvK the game allows a difference of 5 people on each side.
For example:
15 v 20 means no more can join the defending side until some more join the attacking side, this helps prevent unbalanced fights and prevents massive take over.
-If you are on the map when KvK is declared, you get the choice to join it or not. Often you are kicked out to the map, like maybe there isn't enough attackers::defender ratio and you have to wait for the KvK to open up to everyone again.
-KvK is declared by 5 people of the same nation. I'm not completly sure how but it takes 5 people to start up a KvK and you get to chose a spot to place your keep/castle.

KvK Basics
-Getting Crystals, crouch near a crystal (showed as a white dot on the map) and you will auto-start getting crystals, you will needs those for building and morphing, when joining for the first times kvk I sugget you to just get crystals for other players (you can get just 10 at LV10), they usually come to the crystal and tyep "@20" it will mean he needs "20 crystals", just trade to them.


Later in the game for being more useful in the battle you will know that you can use you crystals for do some stuff, like buildings:

-Buildings: You have four types of buildings.
Archer Towers (10/10)
This is offensive building that helps guard territory that is under massive disput. Normally placed close as possiable to front lines. AT are pretty weak , but in a group becomes quite deadly and softens and holds the enemies back longer than if it was empty. AT have quite high HP but it is easily defeated by orge cannons.

Do not waste these in safe areas! you can only build 10 max, and you cannot destory them once built! Once you play KvK for a while, you will understand where and how to use these buildings to the fullest possiable. I always place them in choake or heavily disupted areas. placing these close to crystals or high grounds gives you a upper hand as it is harder for the enemy to take them out and prevents them from using the crystal to its fullest. But be aware, these buildings are easily destroyed by an army if there is noone protecting them.

Obliesks (25/25) (sp?)
These are called the "radar towers" or in age of the empires when you build more towns to expand your terrorotiry. These help mark and allow Line of Sight in areas around the building. This gives you advantage to see if enemy is attempting to do an ambush attack or if they are attacking the building. These are you most precious buildings as they also prevent the enemy from claiming terroirtoy close to the tower and also prevents them from building AT in your area. BUT these are easily taken down by a group or orge cannons. Protect them and build several in areas heavily under fire to prevent massive loss of terrirory. They also "damage" the enemy's castle.

War Craft (1/1)
This building allows the transformation of players into Heavy artillery (Orge Cannon) that has a massive range attack and a weak AoE attack to scatter players bothering you. You can only place one of these, make sure to place them to an equal distance of heavily disputed areas. Placement changes with situation as if an enemy concentraties all 10 towers in an area, building this closer to the front (but not too close) allows quicker access to the front lines.

Gates of Hades (1/1)
This is one wicked building once selected while browsing the transformations window allows the player to morph in a Wraith(50 crystals)

Keep/Castle
You can't build this... but its already there for you. This allows tranformation into Knights (40 crystals).



So this is what it is about buildings, now about morphs:

Knights)
costs 40 crystals
Anti-Transformation units. they do crap damage against players and buildings, but make quick death of any other transformed player.


Cannon Orc (lol)
costs 30 crystals
A+ Anti-Building
D+/C- Anti-Personal
Speed Very very slow. Jumping is faster. Avoid walking.
These are very very slow units and very vurnable to attacks. Do not go in solo as you will die against anything almost. Knights will turn you into swiss cheese and players will keep stunning and killing you. a mix of knights and players allows you to do your job, and that is removing the enemy's defensive buildings so your team can break through and advance up. Worse comes to worse you can "stomp" to scatter enemies around but its quite useless when you are trying to forge through the front lines.


Wraith
costs 50 crystals
I haven't played with this a lot, but when i was playing i was pretty slow moving.. but faster than orge with 3 attacks. An ice attack, a sword attack and i think poison attack. This is one of the best anti-personal transformations. BUT it must be protected by a group of knights as the enemy will most likly have their knights trying to destroy you. Your sword hit can do 200+ easily and deal a massive blow to the frontlines. During stalemate between two teams, this can often be the stalemate breaker if used correctly.

Chimera
Special unit that requires a speical item to allow transformation. If used correctly, can overwhelm and oblierate the other side. This scarey transformation can take out armies of players in a matter of hits. Protected by knights and help with Wraith would make it an unstoppable combo unless the other side is skilled with their knights.

DRAGON
Dunno much about how you can become one. But it is the only "true" flying unit...Very danagerous against players and buildings.

Basic Strategy
There's several roles you can play during the first 10 or so minutes of the KvK.

Building: You gather as much crystals as you can (45 is the magic number as you can only hold 50 at any one time). Run around and build obelisks as close as possible to enemy territory then get more crystals and either keep exploring or Archer Tower up some areas that are under heavy fire that could use a last defensive line.

Attacking/Holding: Forget about crystals and charge into the battle with other people to hold the enemy back while your builders get the chance to build as close as possaible to you guys, hopefully giving you an edge over the enemy as you would be holding the enemy back in their own terf. Most games are decided by who can hold the enemy back in their own 45% of land while the other team can claim the other 5% and hold it down with 10 AT and a lot of players.

Hybrid: You take 15/18 crystals and run into battle. When you conquer an area or notice you need something to hold the enemy back, or you need that exxtra help. you can build the AT or Oblesik. (I personally play this route since there is a very small window of opp when you push and destory the eenmies buildings to conqour the land before the counter strike.)

Unique Stragedy

Freaking Scouts: Haha a pun for the scout class. Armed with invisable and darkness. You inflitrate enemy base and target crystals with a lot of players. once there you hit everyone with darkness, delaying their crystal gathering. Very effective as most people dont look out for hidden enemies. (But be aware as I and many other players scan for moving "circles" without any avatar. When you get close i will spot you and play dumb before i unleash all hell with my AoE causing you to unhide and everyone to poke you.)

Freaking Scouts II: You are the first line of defense for areas where the two armies aren't meeting. You wait your time at places with your buildings that have no protection but makes very good targets for the eenmy to attack. This is normally the obleisk that is far into the enemy's terriroty or an bridge or pathway that isn't used because the main bulk of the force are fighting on the frontlines. you hide and wait until you spot someone. you follow them until you get a perfect strike and hopefully KO or close to killing them. stick with other scouts as 2 massive strikes or what i would like to call "Bunny killing" skill can take out almost anyone. BUT beware, some people will see you following and play stupid before they attack back.

Bunneh Killing: Scout's again. You go camp out at enemy crystals, hidden, and when you see someone almost dead... you kill them. Most people aren't expecting that. Some do expect it, but most of the time its too late for them to do anything. Beware of other players around crystal, as they could be scanning and keeping an eye out for other players.

Hints and tips
- YOu can only gather as many crystals as your level allows you. I think this caps at lvl 20, but you can hold 50 crystals at any given time.
- use public chat and type "@(enter how amny you need)" and people will trade you the crystals. do this around the crystals, don't expect anything in the front line. but if its 1-3 crystals and you are at the frontline, try it. I do that sometimes when im close to building another tower, and we are getting pushed back fast.
- Each kill you get, you gain 3 crystals each time you die, you lose 3.
- sit around big crystals to regain HP and "dig" crystals"
- jump ontop of crystal to gain a little protection form enemy as things cannot shoot throught he crsytal. but an scout who wants to kill a bunneh can kill you if you are low on hp.
- scan for moving targets that arent visiable... if you are low on HP, a lot of these scouts wants to add you to their kill.
- If you are close to crystal and you are far from respawn point. It might be better to fall back and heal. If your team has a massive lead and you can't easily heal, its better to do as much damage as you can and die. BUT avoid dying if you are in a close battle or losing... This hurts your team's bar.
- AWLAYS have healing items. these will prolong your uptime and allow you to heal without having to be near crystal. This will prevent most bunneh hunting against you and allows you to stay longer in the front line.
- DODGE AND STRAFE... Don't walk a lot in the frontline... you will die... and die fast.
- Avoid going solo, unless you know what you are doing. If you go soloing you will often die against someone more skilled or the other team sees a easy kill and several people comes flocking towards you.
- use /a to talk in army chat. this is everyone on your team. if there is a massive need for reinforcements in certian area or the other team has a chimera/dragon/wraith on the loose notify everyone so there will reinformences to deal with the threats.
- when blind, AoE attack or try to kill the scout. But avoid running blindly into the enemy territory as that is bad. Just reember which direction to run when you are blind. you won't be able to see or see the map. if you play iRO, this is MUCH worse than getting blinded .
- Losing or winning can level or delevel guilds.
- Use ring points from KvK to get better and more powerful equipmenet.
- Higher level you get, more exp you get. I get 2-3k normally from KvK now. used to be 300-600 exp.
- Play smart, learn what works and doesn't work. if you suck building or using transformation, give someone else the crystals. If you are excellent with knight, stick with knight. Every transformation has a different set of tactics to use. Depending on players, it rare for one tactics to work against another. Some are stun builds and you rather not get close since one stun is 85% of the time the death for you. Getting frozen can get you killed if a two-handed warrior with high dmg equipment is close.
