GC: Hell's Furnance + Gladiator ST

Got that news fresh from the press! ^^

After the server maintenance this coming Tuesday will be the release of two updates:

Update no.1: New Hero Dungeon - Hell's Furnace

If you think the Shrine of Ruins is challenging enough for you, then check out this new hero dungeon. Just like the first Hero Dungeon, it's located in Ellia, and the schedule and rules for entering is the same as in Shrine of Ruins. The only difference is that you need to be at least level 30 to enter.

Well, since it's now possible to earn 4 Hero Coins per day, the prices of the items at the Hero Shop have been adjusted (increased, to be exact).  Check out here for the list of prices.


Update no.2: Gladiator ST


Now, it's Sieghart's turn to have his 1st class buffed up with the Gladiator ST.

I would expect players to use Gladiator even more, due to new skills and abilities that will be added with the ST update. Sieghart fans rejoice!


As usual, there will be events to celebrate the arrival of the Gladiator ST... ^^;


Aside from these two major updates, since the anniversary of People Power in EDSA is coming near, everyone will receive a People Power Rose Accessory (7 days) during their first - log in, aside from the usual weekend EXP bonus. And for those with artistic talents, there will be a Skill Tree Fan Art contest, with LU load as prizes for winning.


Check out the official news thread for more info.


That's all for now! Jaa ne!

GC: New server - Selion + Hero Shop price updates

Ok, this is a bit weird... ^^;

I just noticed that news at the Grandchase.info blog, and it really astonished me to bits.

About a week after the release of Polaris, Grand Chase Philippines launched a new server, Selion, named after a SB Gacha pet. Well, the reason was very obvious; GC has become very popular and many players started flocking in to join the fun.


Aside from the new server release, the prices of the items at the Hero Shop had been adjusted. Unfortunately, the prices had increased, even though the 2nd Hero Dungeon (Hell's Furnace / The Crucible) was not yet released.


More info can be found here.


I hope that this coming Tuesday, Sieghart's ST will come out. If not, perhaps Dio will be released, or even Hell's Furnace / The Crucible.


Anyway, that's all. Jaa ne!

GC: Polaris - it's hammer time! + Valentine events

Hey there, people! Time for me to report on the latest news here in GC PH! ^^


After the server maintenance on Tuesday comes the latest update that everyone had been waiting for: the release of Mari's 3rd job, the Polaris.

It's hammer time for Mari as she shows her Polaris prowess with her Force Maul

Before we'll experience the excitement of having one's Mari becoming a Polaris, here's some teaser info about the job class (from the official statement in GC PH's website:

Legends say of an ancient kingdom where magic and machines coexisted. Here, powerful soldiers called Polaris were members of the elite, with the power and authority to research magic and create new machines. Unfortunately, this special class disappeared with the great cataclysm that buried the kingdom in lost memory.

Having grown into her role as magic and machine specialist, and because of her mysterious connection to the lost kingdom, Mari was upgraded to the Polaris, the ultimate magic and machine user!

As the Polaris, Mari uses souped-up versions of her previous skills, including new robot called KORMET that will do basic combos, dash and jump attacks in Mari’s stead. With increased power comes increased usage of mana, but the Polaris comes prepared with special skills that help replenish their own mana and even the mana of their teammates. The Polaris will not stop until there’s no trace of evil left!

The Grand Chase just got upgraded with the power of Mari the Polaris! Join them in their quest to rid the world of evil once and for all!
 

As usual, there will be events pertaining to the release of Mari's 3rd job. Not only that, since February's the month of love, there will also be events connected to Valentine's Day, like the release of a new Cash Shop item, the Rose Necklace, and the GC Quiz Bingo Bonanza in which you'll get a chance to obtain either one of two new pets, Pinko and Pinky, the pet of lovers.


Check out the official GC PH website for more info.


Too bad my younger bro won't be enjoying the events that much, for he'll be having exams next week. T_T


Anyway, that's all for now! Sayonara!
