Altgard

As you may have realized by now I did in fact ascend on that evening. A couple days later I decided to go visit Altgard. So after going to Pandaemonium to visit my good old friend Balder and to ascend I went to altgard to start a new adventure, now that I have wings I can do everything!

Thank you Heimdal

As soon as I get to Altgard I start flying away. I flew around a bit to visit the place and get the thousands quests waiting for me there. Then, off I went, a new adventure was waiting for me!

Resting in high places

I flew all around Altgard to gather some Aether because I would start crafting soon and needed a lot of it. I decided to land on the back of one of those giant elephant-like things. Great view up there. I went to the Moslan forest after only to discover a Striped Gumi I was wondering if he tasted good, but the color wasn’t really appealing.

Does it taste good ?

Then I decided to go to Impetisium to see what it looked like. I was really surprise, it looks great! And the way to get there looks great too. But once I got by Black Claw Outpost I got killed pretty badly, so I decided to stop there and come back when I’ll be stronger. Now I’m level 17, almost 18 and I intend to go back and kick the Mau who killed me back then. My vengeance is going to be terrible!

It’s been decided!

I will be playing on the Kaisinel server as a Chanter.

I will be playing a Chanter on Triniel

Asmodian or Elyos ? I still don’t know, I’m still getting the feel of both race. But for now all I know is that I’m going to play on Kaisinel as a Chanter, I won’t tell my name just yet, because I want to reserve it on the 18th.

Edit:

Well, it seems NCsoft decided to switch everything. Now Kaisinel is a west coast server. So we thought about it a little, and it seems we’ll probably be going on Triniel as it was our original choice. I’ve also decided about my alt class, it will be a Sorcerer. I know sorcerer are going to be overplayed, but in all my years of gaming, everytimes there was a magician or a sorcerer class it would be my first choice. I might as well continue like that

Open beta

Day 1 2 impressions.

Yesterday was my first day in the open beta. Everything was going almost smoothly until I got into the game. Then the lag hit me. At one time I had over 34 000 000 ms seconds, yeah you read that right, 34 millions. So I decided to let it go. I came back later last night to give it another try. I heard that NCsoft had a maintenance during the day so I was hoping everything would be good after that.

The deadly result of Lag!

To my delight, everything was better. I started where I had left off a couple hours before, questing around Odella Plantation. Now that the servers where rebooted everything was running like a charm, and I could finally do what I like the most, quest (and craft, but that’s for another post). After a while, my hard-working Priest finally dinged level 9, which meant Ascension! It was time, I went back to see Munin in his crystal prison at Ishalgen Prison Camp. He told me what to do in order to Ascend. I did everything he told me to, and what do you know, I’m at Pandaemonium in front of the High Priest Balder. He aknowledged me as a true Daeva and off I went for another adventure!

Yeah, not the good screenshot, but it was a perfect fit for the story.

Then I logged off. I’m logging back in pretty soon, I plan on crafting a little bit and finish some quest I didn’t have time to finish in Ishalgen. If you see a chanter named Thalired on Triniel, that’s me, don’t be shy give me a shout.
