Reckless Emilia / Crazy Emilia Quest
Posted from Book of Fire!! All Hail Book of Fire!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
-Sorceress Emilia is a pretty straight forward fight. I didn't use any boosts or fillers for her. All she does is her auto attack, and every so often an aoe. I lived just fine in 6/3 92e armor. I really beat her using Lisa with a crappy 6+ assassin's dagger. Just make sure to use the Spiritual Resistance Potion!

Valaria's Quest
Posted from Book of Fire!! All Hail Book of Fire!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
-If you are a royalist you will start the quest from Lyndon
-Testormento Summons little Bio man and other mobs when he reaches 20% don't caught off guard. The bio guys pretty much 2-3 shot me. He also does a crazy Aoe attack that may wipe your team so when he gets to about 30% move a person away in case he kills everyone.

Catherine Torche's quest
Posted from Book of Fire!! All Hail Book of Fire!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
-Okay so Quick things to note about the fight:
  1. You cannot hide your cath in sitting shot at the start of the mission, the room fills with blades
  2. There are 2 messages that appear before Cath will, the messages seem to be dependent on kills. I got the First message between (50-60min) the second message between (40-50) and cath showed up at (25-40), Yea I failed more than once so I give you a rough spread there. A Friend of mine actually killed so much so fast he did the whole quest in 12 min.
  3. I would highly suggest running over to the north east set of stairs...There seems to be a fewer spawn over there, also this is where I put my cath in sitting shot. make sure to buff!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Objective : Catherine Torsche Character Card
Prerequisite : completed Al Quetz Moreza, Holy Water Chamber quest, completed Catherine recruitment quest, Catherine of CHA/STR/DEX/INT (any one, any level)

Thanks to Fabriso for the information from Book of Fire
Thanks to G1 for the surprise ninja patch
Finally thanks to LionofGenesis for helping me out.

Best of Luck Guys and Happy Gaming!

5.0.23 Renaissance Ninja'd Over Night!

Alright guys quick heads up! If you didn't know...we already have 5.0 weeeeeeee. Posts to come on the recruitment quests. I took screenshots and asked around for advice


ALSO
-------------------------------
Your Rings are in the Cabinet of the MM!

REJOICE! Ash's Blog is back.

Thank Goodness. I am overjoyed. That is all.

Three Cheers for Ashardalon!

New bash to come later.

And this is why we can't have nice things. Closing of Ashardalon's Blog

As I would assume, many of you have taken notice of the absolute worst blow to the sword community possible T_T

Apparently, real a--holes have been non-stop trolling Ash's blog and this has resulted in him closing it to the public. This is such a tragedy because that blog is honestly the greatest source of information available, He does a ton of really unique things on this blog:
  1. Testing Sword 2 Features: i.e. experience rates, upgrading rates, everything you can name.
  2. Easy Access to information about other GE updates
  3. Fun facts where he describes where some of the names in Sword 2 come from
  4. Events and Updates for our version of GE. Like wtf to do for the quests and stuff
  5. UI Interfaces and Other Upgrades to the Game as it stands
  6. Costume Pictures!

All the trolls should just go ritually commit suicide or beg for forgiveness now for depriving us of that blog. I started both my blog AND my videos as a direct result of Ash's blog. I hope the community realizes the incredible amount of work AND input Ashardalon has put both into the community and towards his blog. What a huge loss especially for new players. I found Ash's blog before the forums when I started playing and honestly I only drift to the forums when I am really bored.

I believe that a sword player could get away with only visiting a few sites ever:
  1. Ashardalon's Blog
  2. Portcoimbra.com
  3. Swordofthenewworldwiki.com
  4. Book of Wind (Past) Book of Fire (Present)
  5. Maaaaybe the forums.

This actually makes me more derailed than G1 with all their problems combined. Sorry for being more long winded then normal, but this has me really upset. I freaking love that blog. and see....when people are jerks, this is why we cant have nice things.

Orpesia KoC Rule of Thumb!

Hmmm..... So I was at a KOC today.....incredible I know since I am always afk now. And the Other dude didn't seem to know what rules are in place for KoC.

AA/SA KoC
1. Whoever Gets there first and is already attacking it has the KoC - This means if some dude is already into KoC's health by the time you get there...it belongs to that dude.
2. If there is a family there...but he is doing absolutely no damage, there is No Holding KoC for another player to show up so It becomes FFA.
3. If two players get to A KOC at the same time it is FFA.

Common Misconceptions:
1. Some people believe the first person to hit it tags it. This is not true UNLESS one player was there in advance...see rule 1 because often it is too difficult to determine who actually hit first if both players arrive at the same time.

UGC KoCs
1. You FC For KoCs BUT ONLY if you are both there when window starts. Otherwise it belongs to whoever is there attacking it.....i.e. the dude who already is damaging it....you cant just run in and ask for FC after.
2. If you are afk on the mound it is FFA
3. You cannot hold for another player
4. If at any point a player that didn't win FC touches it with intent to kill it becomes FFA

These rules are in place by Phalanx....so that pretty much means those are the rules lol....

Gamers First Contest: Design a Costume

Here is a costume design from DarkBones of ShaketheHeavens! Take a Peak! It is pretty epic XD



I hope you are all enjoying the 50% buff! I know I am....

Cannot See Server List!

Due to the ridiculous amount of emails/comments that have been flooding my inbox I am posting this for all new players who are having trouble getting into the game. This post is copied from the G1 Forums.

I hope it works for you guys....if it doesn't....well unfortunately gamersfirst isn't really putting gamers first then....Or at least they aren't very good at it,

Expert Lisa and Chat Fail!

Today I experted Lisa! I promptly traded in 1 symbol of Capricorn and 6 greatstones for the Arnis Stance Book.


In addition, there is a whole new level of failure that has reared its ugly head. That being that chat seems to be broken. I can only talk in ALL. Broads, Whispers, Clan and Squad chat do not appear to me. I hope that Illier and Bristia are not also experiencing this problem. Not much of a maint when new things are breaking.

Ideas / Improvements for Sword 2?

So I figured I would start a Label that covers what could be done to make Sword 2 better/cooler ect...Here are some suggestions I have heard

1. Make unique "Weapon" costumes... I heard a couple of clannies discussing how cool it would be to allow your weapons to change the mesh. Granted if ever implemented it would look like everyone was running around with a const or something. I think this could only be done if the alternate costumes were not existing / really high tier weapons.....or at least that's how I prefer it. Also think of the Lulz. change up your const dag into the fish dag costume....owning people with fish....never....gets....old.
2. Make the mail system more like Wow's. I.E. allow sending of items in the mail, with or without a charge.

My Own suggestions:
1. Make weapons that are chipped show who initially chipped it. I like this because it allows players to leave a legacy of sorts. Lets say you chip this badass weapon....it will always have your name on it unless it is rechipped.
2. Built in clan timer options. Just allows you to have a box, type some text in "I.E. Diablo, V, GK, U, KoC ect..." and has a count down time next to it that you can set and start.
3. Experience Calculator. Allows you to click on a button...and when you click again it tells you the time elapsed between clicks, AND the amount of experience gained per character (I sadly set this up in excel -_-)
4.Sorting in the MM I.e click on a title and it arranges items by increasing or decreasing order.
5.Notes section in Friends List - I dunno but sometimes I might need little reminders about who people are.

The World Ends With You

A highly controversial issue in Orpesia....the behavior and actions of Phalanx. Today In a fierce fight against other clans Phalanx has managed to take over the map.

Peace makers? World Takers? Colony Breakers? Small-clan Haters?
You Decide what you think....Either way here are some screenies
Karana Lays down the Rules!Phalanx takes the map.
War ends and they get bragging rights.

My Two Cents: Bravo for being strong enough to take the map.....but the game was more fun when there were actually colonies to fight for. If there were a 5 colony limit...or if they only wanted part of the map it would be more fun for smaller clans to try to fight. Having the whole map completely dominated pretty much ends CW...which is a shame because it can be a lot of fun.

Either way. STH and Phalanx had some pretty epic fighting going on...some of it will show up in a vid I make later most likely.

And because It has to be said......~Lamperouge~'s Nar was badass.

Level Up Contest!

Hey Guys.....so level up contest! By now you have read about the awards and stuff... Here are a few clarifications I just wanted to put up because they confused me initially....

Thank Ashardalon for most of these questions btw.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
QUOTE (Ashardalon @ Jul 23 2010, 12:02 PM) *
I'm a bit confused. Please clarify some points.

By "Beta Testers", do you mean players of Sword 2 Open Beta (i.e. people playing on live servers around June 2-30, 2010)? Or is some other beta (Evora, Montoro, etc.)?

Response form Neume
Great questions. Yes this applies to players who were active during the Sword 2 Open Beta in June, 2010 specifically.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
QUOTE (Ashardalon @ Jul 23 2010, 12:02 PM) *
So do these beta testers still need to create a new account to participate?

Response form Neume
No, the account you played during beta has already been entered. Creating a NEW account WILL NOT get you additional entries. So just continue playing and having fun!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
QUOTE (Ashardalon @ Jul 23 2010, 12:02 PM) *
If not, are the beta testers disqualified if they have employed mercenaries BEFORE this event?

Response form Neume
As long as you have leveled 3 characters to the required levels you are fine. You CAN use Mercs however they will not count toward the 3 characters that need to be leveled.

Additionally, if you were a beta tester YOU DO NOT NEED TO LEVEL NEW CHARACTERS DURING THE PROMOTION PERIOD. YOU ONLY NEED TO HAVE LEVELED 3 CHARACTERS TO THE REQUIRED CHARACTERS AT SOME POINT DURING THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR ACCOUNT.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
QUOTE (Ashardalon @ Jul 23 2010, 12:02 PM) *
For Sept 17 level-up, is it Lv.110 or Lv.120? The website and forum say differently.
120 - http://www.gamersfirst.com/sword2/?q=en/levelup
110 - http://forums.gamersfirst.com/index.php?ac...=165&id=253

Response form Neume
Sept should be for 120 not 110.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
QUOTE (Ashardalon @ Jul 23 2010, 12:02 PM) *
Is character promotion required? Or can the Lv.110 character be left as Veteran Lv.10 (100%)?

Response form Neume
Unfortunately due to the way the game counts levels you do actually have to promote.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

QUOTE (Delacourte @ Jul 23 2010, 12:05 PM) *
thank you for responding. I just wanted to be crystal clear that I don't have to do anything further for my slim chance at winning anything.

Response form Neume
Our intent is that if you were an active player during beta that has characters of the required level (that you leveled on that account) you don't have to lift a finger to be entered to win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of these are found on : http://forums.gamersfirst.com/index.php?showtopic=70248&st=100

Bottom Line: If You have already been playing sword you don't have to do jack. Awesome.

Also fellas really don't get your hopes up on this one.....very slim chance of winning..

Sword 2 Contest Winner Announced

Quote from Neume:

"We've decided to make everyone follow what happens at E3 to find out the winner. I think you'll be happy to see the results Cueto"

Seems there was only one winner, or else he would have said winners, and it seems its Cueto fighting in Circus.

Nice Job to him. Although now I am once again angry at G1, I know I am not a winner but it would have been nice to have gotten ONE response to the pms I sent to the Gamersfirst Channel. That was fair bit of effort to re-upload my videos. They could have just replied back quickly, hey we don't need the video uploads...Would have saved me quite a bit of time and bandwidth -_-
