Trickster: The game

Re: Trickster: The game

I don't see how games like this don't get boring to people, same way I don't understand how people can level up all their chars in offline RPGs to the highest level and get all their highest level weapons and such WHEN THEY REALLY DON'T NEED TO. The boringest (stfu) stuff in MS is still more entertaining than clicking on a monster and waiting for your character to kill it, if you ask me. =\

Re: Trickster: The game

I'm surprised that I can retain interest myself.

Maybe it's the fact that I don't need to kill tens of thousands of enemies to level up once and gain pretty much nothing in return.

Maybe it's that the party system is actually designed to benefit those who do the work and ignore those who idle or do nothing.

Maybe it's that there are hardly any idiot kids on this game because they got tired of it and went back to MapleStory.

I don't know. I have fun with it. I can gain 6 levels a day, as opposed to 6% a day. And I don't care about the whole "levels mean more in our game" crap. A levelup in this game is the difference between a 3hko and a 2hko. Five levels later, it's a 2hko and a 1hko. On Maple, leveling for me meant 10 more damage, and a 13hko was still a 13hko.

Re: Trickster: The game

Bump.

Also, I enjoyed the gameplay of MapleStory. I really liked it a lot. If we had kMS Test Sever EXP, I'd level all thirteen classes to 200 and then quit. It would take me about a month or two.

I'm level 85 now, almost 86. I just bought and +2d my level 90 Sharp Saber. It's awesome; my inventory is filled with +2 Sharp weapons starting at level 50. I never go higher or lower for two good reasons:

1) +1 sucks. 95% means you almost always succeed. +2 is harder. 80% means you might fail (I've failed three times out of 10). +3 is much harder. 66% means you are barely over 1:1 odds. I've failed at 66% three times out of three times, so I don't care to risk it.

2) I gain ten levels in this game in about two or three days. So really, it's not worth putting the money into a sword that isn't going to last you. Just get it added up to some decent damage and be on your way.

Compounding is even more retarded. It's such a waste to compound swords. Unlike MapleStory where a weapon will last you five months until you can get a new one, it's not worth blowing hundreds of thousands (a lot in this game's currency) into these things if you're just gonna ditch them. And if you're like me, you never do personal stores to sell your old things anyway, so it really doesn't matter. I keep all my old swords for anyone else who wants to borrow them along the way.

Anyway, I'm still on the snails because they're really easy and even the Super Moles don't bother me as much anymore. I still gain more than a percent every minute, so the EXP is still awesome even without the +380,000 from the quest. I tried the swamp sharks Eyo mentioned. Not hard, but killer on my potions. I still make money because of the drops I can NPC for 15-20k, but it's just a pain to get in an out of that map.

85 was an awesome levelup. It was one of the 'fourth' levelups, meaning my '1' level areas (Magic and Sense) went up, and it was one of the 'twelfth' levelups, meaning my Dex went down again. My delay between attacks is now at 3-1. At level 97, it goes down to 2-1, and that's the level I kill Bugbears, which drop things I need for a quest to get my level 100 pet which has -2 dex instead of the -1 I have now making my dex ZERO.

NO DELAY BETWEEN ATTACKS HAHAHA.

And it can go negative wtf

Re: Trickster: The game

And it can go negative wtf

DIVIDED BY ZERO

Even though the school year started, I'm pretty sure I can get some decent leveling each day. :3

The 70s in the Swamp feel kind of slow for me. It's probably just because of the lack of monster quests, so I expect the speed to shoot up when I reach 80.

In addition, I am very disappointed by the lack of the Pirate boss. I want Craft items. =(

Re: Trickster: The game

While digging in the swamp for my candles to be used to job advance, I dug up:

Many swords, many daggers, many hats that were NPC food, then

Craft Gold Screen
Craft Soft Hat

Haha. I also got three Sapphires, ten Rubies, and way too many Emeralds, so my Sheep friend now has everything she needs for job advancing. That was WAY too easy. I'm making her get my last job advance item (2 more to go as of last night!) because it's easier and it's a nice trade since I'm digging her Selinolites for her.

Eyo, I got another four statues you need, so five more unless you have any. I'm still digging for 9 more selinolites, so I'm bound to get more. That leaves you with just those feathers =x

86. Leveled from 85 to 86 solely by digging. Gained 2 TM levels from it. Almost TM 60. Doesn't matter because job advancing raises your TM EXP by twelve million (three levels) XD

STRETCH! My first 2nd job skill for sure. It basically says 'enemies doin' critical damage aw helz naw. No more crit damage for u =)'

Haha. I don't take critical damage. 5 TM to learn and no TM to raise it (level 1 only skill). HAHAHAHA.

ps eyo get your own selinolites I hate digging here and you're almost 80 and she's not >_> plus she's a she and she was a Maple friend.

Lol I don't plan on mastering Mana Mist. XD I'm likely going to save those extra few points for Light Arrow or some other 2nd job skill. Or Mana Storm. Need that for another skill.

EDIT: I'm also at the halfway mark through the statues. XD

I plan to get to Level 80 tonight. Not much homework. =D

Re: Trickster: The game

In other words:

I'm her sugar daddy. ;D

Get your freak on, Squeek. =O

[Squeek]

Re: Trickster: The game

I don't even know her name, so no thanks.

I mean I wouldn't do this for a random person. I'm justifying getting these incredibly rare things for someone else rather than Eyo.

Edit: I got my 6th or 8th one or something today. Whoo. I'm done digging I think. She's gonna buy the rest.

Re: Trickster: The game

Well my friend helped me back on track @_@ (no one here btw >_>..bastards) But yea I'm back with items and whatnot level 70 booya? where do you level at 70? I'm so clueless...

[Squeek]

Re: Trickster: The game

Congratulations.

Look on monster lists to see what seems easy to kill compared to what you were killing before. That's all I ever do.

I dug up four selinolites in like 10 minutes this morning. Wow. I might be done with this crap.

You're a buffalo, right? Electric Snails hands down. You can do a monster quest killing them, and they're just so easy to kill, especially if you're a Buffalo. Even if you're a mage Electric Snails would be the best training anywhere. If you need a testimonial, ask Squeek. He feasted on them for god-knows-how-many-levels.

Reached 80 last night which means a new pet, new quests, and a new drill. =D

Fixed.

Closing in on 88. Leaving once I do to get some eats. Hitting 90 tonight.

Re: Trickster: The game

Rofl.

That slow competition is pretty understandable. In many cases, when you get criticaled by a Cobra Flower or a Mycronid, you're as good as dead.

Re: Trickster: The game

Electric snails huh? Well server's down atm, and university has started, won't be playing a lot @_@

[Squeek]

Re: Trickster: The game

Server wasn't down; I was logged in all day XD

The webserver had a failure this afternoon but the game server stayed up. I even logged out and logged back in during that downtime. It was fun. I never even knew there was a problem. Thanks blitz.

I got to 89. I had so much to do that 90 just wasn't going to happen. Eyo and I decided tonight was the night for getting our level 100 pets. We had all 12 Mingo Toys about about 5 Jenny Dolls. So, I get to work on getting the hardest monster drop and he goes to work on the harsh drilling. These level 120+ folks partied me up there and let me loot all the stuff they wouldn't pick up anyway, which was awesome. They were sad to see me go because they lost 0.5x exp rates with me gone =/

Apparently it's hard to level up at that level, or they're just anal about having 2.5.

Anyway, I looted a lot and even killed some to get my own at times. Found a Stout level 100 hat and another Solid (sturdy) Gold Screen to refine / compound later. I even have extra bugbear dolls because I never want to see them again.

I go join up Eyo who has gotten two more (that's how rare they are ><). We mess around and end up getting the remaining dolls within 45 minutes or so. Pretty neat. Last step was getting the easiest ones of all: the Duck Dolls. They drop from level 7 Golden Moles. That took us three minutes.

I throw everything that isn't on me into storage and pull out 12 of each of these four things. Or I would if I could carry it all. Had to split the load with Eyo and go up together. OF COURSE the NPC who wants all these insane items is in a map with aggro level 140 monsters, so it's REALLY FUN turning things in while taking hundreds upon hundreds of damage from five different enemies.

Finally we manage to turn in all six sets and get back to town.

Eyo is now the proud owner of a Fairy Angel Blue, and I am the proud owner of a Fairy Angel Red. Incentive to get to 100. We would anyway.

After that we decided to see who could kill the most Apopis (level 80 weak piece of crap) in 30 minutes. The monster quest asked for 50. We both more than doubled that. Eyo took the #6 slot, then I finished and stole it from him. The people in 1-5 are impossible to beat (foxes can 1hko all the time), so there's no point in trying really. It's still good EXP =D

And that's my day from after dinner.
