The game gets a new enhancement: ARTS OF ATTACK AND DEFENSE!

How to get them

Arts of attack and defense can be acquired (learned) in several ways: for instance, by achieving special results or by attending magic events.
The first Arts will be available via magic gems that you could buy in the Armory and in-game shops.

They will cost huge money.

Please consider, though, that once used the gem, the Art is learned and it will stay yours for good.

You can buy a gem and donate it to others, but once used it will dissolve itself so it can be used just once.

How to activate Arts

You can select one Art for Attack and one Art for Defense at a time.

Do so with the control panel, INFO button, under the weapon and protection selections you will find Attack/Defense Arts.

There will be many and since during the game you will acquire them, it is important to choose the best one case by case.

Available Arts

At the moment you have two Arts that can be acquired with magic gems:

– Art of Counterattack

it’s a defense one. If they attack you and your character is helthy, he will counter-attack by using the weapon you have selected in the control panel. Magic-powered characters will notice that a physical weapon is used, not one of the available spells.

Level 2 required

– Art of Double Hit

This is an Attack art and it is a killer one. If you attack and you’re healthy, a second attack is automatically launched.

Level 6 required

Notes

Arts will not operate in chain-reaction style.

For example: if you have both Counterattack and Double Hit active, during the counter-attack your character will attack just one time (one would expect that because of Duble Hit is active he will attack twice, but it isn’t so).

More Arts will come, variants and combinations are practically unlimited.

Keep on playing and you will see. Have fun!

Hi there!
Since this version, we have some news: the choice for Equipment.

By clicking on the INFO button you will see, in your player profile, a few drop-down menus that let you choose the equipment to be used for atack and defense.

The main news is that ALL player classes can make these choices.

Protections
These are being used by all, and I mean ALL player types.
Notice: Iron protections value now 5 defense points instead of 2 as earlier.

Attrack weapons
For Clerics/Sorceresses this weapon choice is BY NOW useless.
In the future, when you’ll be able to learn the “Counter-attack Art”, your character will be able to automatically counterattack by using the chosen weapon.

For the attacks initiated by your own will, you will continue using spells as you usually do.

Dark Entities will be able to use an attack weapon (they have got the Attack command button). Perhaps in the future a limitation will be applied on them, as we do today for Craftsmen.

Usage logic
The choice of the weapon/protection is operated automatically only when you pick up one and you don’t have any yet.
In all other cases (eg. when you’ve got two or more weapons available) you have to decide yourself which one to use.

Conclusions
Now you might be thinking:
Why to have to choose when it is obvious that I will always be using the most powerful weapon?

Actually today the weapon choice is not anything special. It’s obvious you will always choose the most powerful you can afford.
But in a few days, we will introduce a new game element: The AFFINITY, and things will get more complicated, and fun.

Let’s suppose that you will have a single, strong affinity with the WATER element.

If you get attacked by a character whose affinity is strong to FIRE, this attack will disorient you because the attacker moves in a way that is innatural to you.
So you may compensate the gap by using a shield with affinity to FIRE, it will make you capable of facing and reacting better to this specific attack style.

On emore example.

You have to attack an enemy much similar to you, but you want to disorient him.
You will choose a weapon with affinity to an element with which he has no affinity.
This will disturb him, and your attack will be devastating.

You got the idea. You will have to use brains and choose the right equipment at the right moment.

You will need capable backpacks and special containers named ‘magic boxes’ will be available to let you store unlimited equipment, idea that I took from a famous RPG named Vagrant Story.

See you soon then, and thanks for your appreciation and support!

On-line, at last, the game using today a new logic for managing player’s career in the game, depending on their Level.

• Much of what you can or cannot do in the game will depend from this parameter – so read the Quick Guide for more details.
