Voyage Century: The Power of Desig

It’s not an exaggeration if I say gear is the most important factor for players who want to be heads and shoulders above others in game. It’s also an important factor for our visual enjoyment. Today the folks at Voyage Century are going to talk to you about the gear that’s been added to the new version.

The gear in Voyage Century has always featured beautiful design, functionality, and practicality. There are also many kinds of gear to choose from, such as labor gear, land battle and sea battle gear, minority clothes, and more. With the new version, there are five new professions in the new expansion for Voyage Century, and we have designed thousands of pieces of unique gear for these 5 professions.
Every set of gear will make you stand out in a different way. In addition, some gear even contains new attributes, so choosing the gear that really suits you is essential. This newly added gear, Godslaying, Ghosty Howling, Deadly Sword, Moonlight, Thunder, Vast Sky… the names alone conjure many different visions, but all bring a feeling of power and success.

MMO based on the World Of Darkness universe?

Rumors have been circulating that CCP, developer of the successful EVE Online MMORPG, is actually working on an MMO based on the World Of Darkness Universe. World of Darkness is a popular roleplaying game setting focusing on supernatural monsters and their interactions with the human world and its universe has already been used for the Vampire: The Masquerade games for PC, released a few years ago.

The rumors have originated from a document from CCP that seems to indicate that a massively multiplayer online game based on White Wolf’s World of Darkness universe could appear as soon as next year. The news is particularly interesting considering that White Wolf, owner of the World of Darkness brand, merged with CCP in 2006.
The document in question, anyway, was created in July 08, well before CCP announced its plans for the EVE expansion.

Here’s an exceprt from the document:


The setting for this game shares the same history, culture and geography as modern day Earth. On the surface, the inhabitants of this fictional world live as we do; yet here, the shadows are deeper, the nights are darker, and the fog is thicker. But most importantly, monsters exist. Beneath the thin film of civilization, Vampires thrive on the blood of humans, Werewolves prowl for carnage in the darkest forests, and Mages scheme to bend reality to their will.

In the World of Darkness, you are the monster, struggling to remember the memory of your humanity while you struggle against the evil that lurks within us all. CCP and White Wolf are now hard at work in pre-production on the World of Darkness the persistent world. Given the World of Darkness legacy, its large fan base, and proven appeal to both genders, we estimate the subscriber potential of this product to be two to three times that of EVE Online, without competing head on with CCP’s existing products thus enabling wider total appeal.

Zu Online: New Summoner Minion Preview

The most ancient and strongest of the human feelings is fear, especially the fear of the unknown. It can paralyze a person from action and leave them defenseless. When the Hades Fire Beast is summoned into battle and you are facing down it’s dark visage and bone white teeth, what will you do? What is the Hades Fire Beast? What does it bring to the Secondary World from hell? Let’s take a walk on the wild side and grab a more detailed look at the Hades Fire Beast, a new Summoner minion which will be released in the new version of Zu Online.

A Force from Hell
The Hades Fire Beast is the most evil monster there is in hell. It has giant horns and the sharpest tusks. Dark, mysterious and incomprehensible hierograms are tattoed across its back and it is constantly surrounded by purple hellfire which can swallow souls.
Thus, it is appropriately called the Hades Fire Beast.

The Hades Fire Beast was originally the Chief Devil’s mount. It is extremely bloodthirsty and is able to swallow souls in seconds. In those years when the evil forces invaded the Secondary World led by the Chief Devil, the High Summoner put his life at risk and tried his best to seal the Chief Devil in his body. After that, the High Summoner sought to research spells to resist the power of ghosts. One day, he successfully summoned the Hades Fire Beast from hell and sealed it using hierograms.

The End of Summoners’ 1v1 Fight:
After the release of the new version, Level 240+ Summoners can purchase the book to learn the spell to summon a Hades Fire Beast from Summoner trainers.The Hades Fire Beast masters three melee attacks which are all area of effect spells. So, with the release of the Hades Fire Beast, Summoners do not need to fight their enemies one by one anymore.

Wonderland Online: Top Gear Tips

One commonality in all online games is a feeling of competition between players, whether it’s friendly or not. Just as in real life, players who manage to acquire the best gear, pets, or stats have reason to show off, while other players are driven to surpass their achievements and get even better gear, pets, or stats. Well, this competitive spirit is alive and well in Wonderland Online, but with one notable exception. WLO players can produce and upgrade their gear by themselves. Players don’t have to worry about collecting the most money or whether the BOSS will drop that coveted piece of armor. Hard work is rewarded with tangible results.
 
Compounding
 
Key Points:
 
1)      Compounding Method
To compound something, players need to keep both the materials and location in mind. Different materials with different levels and different locations will give different results. For example, if ore is compounded, or flowers and wood, players may get higher level items. Generally speaking, the final product will be of the same type as the one put in.
 
2)      Alchemy Books
Alchemy Books have 4 level and they increase the level and success rate for compounding.
 
3)      Alchemy
There are 3 levels: Primary Alchemy, Junior Alchemy and Senior Alchemy. The better a players alchemy level, the higher the success rate for compounding. Players should finish the related quest to learn Alchemy.
 
4)      Materials
Almost all materials can be compounded, but the materials’ level is a key factor in the outcome. For example, a Level 8 compounded item will yield the best result for compounding Level 4 materials. If you need a high level item, you should use high level materials.
 
5)      Luck
Even if a player follows all these directions to the letter, there is still a bit of LUCK involved.
 
6)      Forging
Even some great gear can be upgraded to have better attributes if the Forging Room in the Item Mall is used. The original attributes will be increased by 2 each time the item is forged. For example, if the original attribute for a gun is ATK +74, after using the Forging Room, its attribute will be increased to ATK+74+10. The highest level for forging is 100.
 
7)      Enchanting
Increases equipment attributes with a 100% success rate. However, different gems will provide different results. Available gems are: Bomb diamond, spar and colorful diamond.
Bomb diamonds: Increases critical strike chances. (32% increase is the best at present.) It can be socketed onto gear which is not from the Item Mall. It then has the same effect as an Item Mall item.
 
Spars and Colorful diamonds: Increases gear’s attributes. Spars cannot be traded.
