PvP

Today,I'll explain about pvp in Shin Megami Tensei:Imagine Online.

I.What is PvP?
PvP is a feature on every MMORPG games that allow every user to fight each other,in a special place/field.They usually divide by 2 teams,the red and the blue one.Mostly use red and blue,but sometimes on certain MMO,they used white and red or white and black;whatever.
In this game,The player who wants to do PvP,will need to take the PvP quest before they're allowed to enter the PvP field.
Most player go to pvp to have some fun,especially if the content released kinda slow.
But few players take the chance to PvP,just to test their new gear,just like me.


II.Quest for PvP
As I stated above,to be allowed yourself to enter the PvP field,you need to take PvP Quest. What does it need me to do? Simple.
1.Talk to Yaginuma in Nakano.Its at (24,24)
2.It will ask you to deliver something to certain people.In this case,those Yaginuma wants you to deliver message to Yaginuma at Shinjuku Babel.
3.Go to Shinjuku Babel,then talk to Yaginuma near the Home Point tower.
4.After that,go back to Yaginuma at Nakano.After you talk to her,she will explain about few things.So Its recomended if you choose every single things she want to explain.After its done,she will give you a chance to enter your first PvP match.It's at Fate Match.
5.In the end of the match,You will see Yaginuma at the pvp field,at your base.Talk to her,and she will give you decent amount of BP.
6.Congratulations! You just did 1 PvP match.From now on,you can take any PvP match.
But It has a rule. 3 Times forfeit=ban from PvP for 24 hours.
So dont let yourself do forfeit.Whatever the match,dont leave.

III.Type of PvP


There are 2 types of PvP matches.
One called Fate.

Fate have more slots of player to join in 1 match.
Maximum player that can join is 24 players,divide by 2 sides,Azure and Scarlet.
Azure is the blue team,represent to all Law player(Mostly) and Neutral Player(Who have their Alignment near to Law borderline).Scarlet is the Red Team,represent to all Chaos player,(Mostly),and Neutral Player,as well(Who have their alignment near to Chaos borderline).The most important thing to do in Fate is to collect as many as point we could,by guarding a tower.There are 5 towers to guard in Fate Match.
Every tower have blocks on their symbol.
The most Important,is,without a doubt,the 3-blocks tower.
You need to send your best team to guard it,so that longer you guard the tower,better point you get from there.Every 2 minutes,the point will raise.For example,15 points on the 1st 2 minutes,30 points on the next 2 minutes,45 points on the the 6th minutes,and so on.But everytime your most-powerful-base point caught by the opponent,you have 2 minutes to recover it,or else the opponent will get their 1st 15 points on that tower.Also,every blocks gives various time to give the point to your side.Such as,a 3-blocks tower will gives points faster than the 2-blocks or the 1-block tower.That's why the idea on this match is to prioritize the 3-blocks tower,and send your best team there.In the end of the match,if your team win,you will get decent amount of BP...If you lost,you only get not even higher than 30 points,depends on the difference between your side's point vs your opponent's point.Higher the difference,lower the BP you get.People join Fate mostly to farm BP,because alot of decent stuff in pvp that you can buy only with BP.

The other one called Valhalla.

Valhalla only have maximum of 10 players to join in 1 match.
Its also divide by 2 teams,Azure and Scarlet.
Both team only allowed to have maximum of 5 players.
The rule just like Fate Match.But there's something different here.
This match also called the 1-hit-ko match.Because people who join in this match,mostly have their 1-hit-ko weapon and skill.
The rule kinda simple;you need to kill your enemy as many as you can.
The idea is,you get point for your side by killing your opponent.
Not a matter if you kill the master or the demon itself,because BOTH of them can give point.How to count the point you get from killing the opponent?
Easy! You will get 2 points if you kill the player,1 point if you kill their demon.
Max point you should reach is 15.But,based on my experience,you shouldnt enter this match before you understand how to dodge or how to kill oppponent.If you havent work on your gear,It will become a burden to the other member of your team.So I suggest you to enter when you're done with your build,gear,and skill.Simple,aint it?

Polling to Nerfed the Diamonds drop on Shiva-Vishnu run

Its already a week since Vishnu-Shiva run added to the server.
It gives alot of advantage to both Megaten Team and the players who did that run.
99AP for each Yantra really become a great way of business for Megaten team,since Shiva-Vishnu run gives amazing amount of XP.
50 Diamonds and decent chance to get a vishnu or shiva crystal from the green treasure box also can pay back what they've spent on Yantra.
But few players see this as a disaster to the server.Disaster because the flow of macca will be disturbed.Alot of macca will be came to the server because that diamonds's selling price still high.
Lets say if you sell it in Shinjuku Babel,it'll worth for 5k macca every diamond.
say you did 30 runs of Shiva and 30 runs of Vishnu,which is giving you 30 stacks of diamonds.A stack of diamonds=100 diamonds.
So lets do math....30 stacks x 100 diamonds every stacks x 5k every single diamond.
30 x 100 x 5000= 15 millions of macca.Alot of people asked Megaten team to nerf the diamonds drop.But few also say Lets it be,because we rarely get new content to this server.Well,I can agree on the nerfing,but somehow,I'd like the diamonds drop stay as it be.
This is a tough choice for us.
But I believe Megaten Team have their hidden plan to resolve this.

So I'll ask you,Which of the following choice you want to choose,for the better future to Megaten?
  
pollcode.com free polls 



So,which of the choice you will like to choose?

Update:New crystal effect added to the Server

Finally,after waiting more than 6 months,new crystals added to the server.
Also,new content,like Shiva-Vishnu run and Denshi-Kairo added.
There are more than 6 crystal effect added to the server.
It consist of
1.Morrigan
2.Sleipnir
3.Throne
4.Hecatonchires
5.Badb catha
6.Yomotsu-shikome
7.Typhon
8.Dominion
9.Berith
10.Eligor
11.Raja Naga
12.Queen-mab

Including 2 New crystals which is come from the green treasure box on Shiva-Vishnu run.
13.Shiva
14.Vishnu.

Also,Denshi-Kairo that has been released by Megaten Team is still limited to 27 floors.But its good than nothing,right?
They also made a poll for that Shiva-Vishnu run.
They wanted to make it as the fixed content,without removing it from the server.
Its kinda good thought since we rarely getting new content since Spiritual Infusion and Newmoon Daisoujou.

Attacker Card AGAIN?!

After Maintenance,I thought there will be no new things added in the server.
When I checked the official site for Megaten,there's something Interesting added.
Even if its only a tiered spender,But still its interesting.
Why Interesting?
Because they finally added it AGAIN.
Its just kinda different nowadays,because they made it tradable.
Well,Its still a bad things,because people will ONLY use it in PvP.
Making PvP broken again.To be honest,Its already broken because of that Incense user.
And now,an Atacker Card? I couldnt imagine how it turns to be.

They did added it long long time ago,when they released the PvP patch for the first time.They also added it because they thought that with the new pvp patch,they could sell alot of attacker card.
What's finally happened is the opposite.
Alot of people,who actually the AP spender,used it,and the pro player who know already about how to calculate the damage from the gear,said they used an attacker card.
And it made alot of QQ at that time.

All the pro player asked the Megaten team to remove that card because it would make people,who dont use AP,leave PvP and for the time being,there's not even one that want to join it,except the Attacker Card User.

Weekly Maintenance's Report

As we know already,that They always do Weekly Maintenanc every Wednesday (Or Tuesday in US).I couldnt logged in due to the tiredness,so i guess I'll log after maintenance is over.I woke up at 4:10am GMT +7,then accidenly clicked my Megaten Imagine exe file,which still is 1.452U client.And wow...
I can still login with 1.452U client.I'm curious about what happened during the weekly maintenance.So,I couldnt help myself to ask my friend what th hell happened.And They said that when they run updater after the maint is over,they said the client was 1.453U.But they encountering a login problem.

I even heard from my friend that the maintenance today,went for 3 hours and 20 minutes.
Well,Its kinda longer than any ordinary maintenance;except the maintenance for big content.
Its written on HERE.
Oh well,I thought we would getting new patch,or at least new client version T.T.
Shouganai~

So,it means there's no new actual patch for this maintenance.
I guess it means I can go back to my fluffy bed.
Oh!
And guess I should post the rebirthing stuff here before go to bed.
Anyway,
Later ;p

New Patch=Fail?

Its good to be back to my own blog.
I've taken few days to stop playing SMT because i got flu and high-temp fever.
Well,as soon as my fever went down,I'll try to inform that 2 days ago,SMT did a weekly Maintenance.As usual,there wont be any new content added to the server.Seems so boring,but I've tried to pull myself together,and Make myself enjoy the game.

As we know already,the new patch will be released after the game client hit 1.500U;so there's no something special on Thursday's patch.But there's something happened after the maintenance.Before Maintenance,I've made few skills ready in my demon,and all demon ready to be fused.But what happened after the weekly maintenance? They've messed it up to the worst.

Why I said like that?
Because after weekly maintenance over for only an hour,I tried to login,and went to Cathedral of Shadow Immediately,tried to fuse and.....I couldnt find anything in the fusion formula.
The (O) said to be the possible fusion formula,which make the result demon will not be an elemental demon.
The (-) said to be the formula that will make an elemental demon as the result.
The thing is,I only can see A SUCCUBUS as the result demon with (O)symbol.
Truth to be told,I've gotten a bad feeling since the weekly maintenance only occured like an hour.Its early than usual.
Another bug occured as well;something like,few people couldnt register the demon to their demonic compendium list.Someone said that they had problem with registering a deformed baphomet.

So,FINALLY 2 days later,they did emergency Maintenance to fixed the glitch.I was kinda surprised they've skipped the client version again.I mean,before the weekly maintenance occured,it was 1.446U.After weekly maintenance,it's became 1.450U.
Then.after the emergency maintenance,it's became 1.452U.
Well,It doesnt really matter because I only trying to enjoying the game while waiting for the diaspora patch (at least) to be implemented in the server.

After the emergency maintenance,i logged in to the game,and something happened again.
The demon,that supposed to be implemented on Oni's Patch,already implemented in the server.Suuki,Fuuki,Tao Tie etc.There are 5 demons in total.Its not many thought,but did they make another mistake? The maps name also written in japanese.The location of the player in friendlist,and clan member list written the same as well.

To be honest,I dont really like it.I mean,how it supposed to be if the content from another big patch have been released in a normal maintenance,that only took an hour to be done? People started to make the new demon;but honestly,i want them to be removed IMMEDIATELY.

I guess I only inform the latest news from the latest maintenance,which is an emergency maintenance.
I think I will put the patch in this post as well.

Patch 1.446U-1.450U [Weekly Maintenance 4-6-2011]
Patch 1.450U-1.452U [Emergency Maintenance 4-8-2011]

Waiting For Diaspora~

Its been 6 months or so,Since we got our last BIG new content to our server.
This is absolutely make few players semi-retired,while waiting for the new content to be updated.
I am the player that have the same feeling,but i dont wanna quit yet.
I will try to pull myself together,to stay in Megaten as long as i can.
And now,I only do pvp,because that's the only thing I want to do,and beside,I have purpose to get 1 of that prestigious item from them.A Blaze of Ambition (BoA),Is the best Extra Item in PvP,maybe in Megaten.
Nice effect from that item make it a perfect item for the pro player.
But,the problem is that item worth ALOT!
Its not on macca currency,but with BP (PvP points),and you need 300k BP to get it.
But,dont forget something...
There's a requiring to use it.You need at least 1,500GP to get it.
AH,I forgot to post about PvP.
Next time,I'll post it.

BTW!
I've seen alot of videos that show us about Diaspora.
Well,I guess we can see how diaspora is before it entering our server right?
I really want diaspora so bad,but I think it'll takes months,or even years,because GM confirmed that there's no ETA on that patch will be available in our server.
