GC: New Gacha System

Well, yeah, major changes had happened in the GC Chaos update, including the Gacha System.


Since Selion Redux + Purchasing rewards is on-going right now, I bet you're wondering what the heck is going on, especially now that the rewards will not be the same as in the previous seasons and that there will be only one kind of Sealed Gacha bead.


Ok, let's cut to the chase! Here's the guide (based on here and here):


1. Just like in the previous seasons, Gacha beads will still be obtained through dungeon runs, except that they can be purchased at the Shop for 5000 GP (cannot be obtained after winning PVP fights anymore, sorry).


2. The way of obtaining Spellbooks is still the same (purchasing through Cash), except that there's no longer the version for opening Depleted Beads.


3. Though there's the normal method of clicking the OK on the bead, you can also go the Menu and click on the bead button (the bead icon beside the Craft icon).


4. The interface has tweaked to let you choose the character, gacha armor level, etc. There's also a button if you want to unseal all beads automatically.


5. Unsealed armors and accessories will automatically be highlighted.


6. You'll be rewarded with the weapon of your choice once you obtain all the armor pieces.


7. And, as usual, once you complete the Gacha set (armor + accessories) of one character, you'll obtain the rare Gacha pet.


Speaking of Spellbooks, the amount used will be based on Gacha set level:


Level 10 & 20: 1 pc.
Level 30 & 40: 2 pc.
Level 50 & 60: 3 pc.
Level 70         : 4 pc.


But once you complete a set, lesser Spellbooks will be used. Level 10 & 20 will be the same, but as for Level 30-70: the consumption will be reduced by 1.


Well, sorry if I can't reveal all the stuff. Just trying to summarize in my own words.


Anyway, good luck if you want to complete a Gacha set! -thumbs up-


Doodlez!

GC: Chaos & Dio coming to PH + Darkbringer teaser video

Finally, the moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived... ^^

For all GC PH players out there, today's the day where two major updates have come to life: GC Chaos and Dio the Vader.

In GC Chaos, there will be a major makeover, like the new log-in screen and user interface, map level segregation, Bermesiah & Ellia dungeon revamps and the release of two new dungeons from Atum: Goblin Labor Camp and Underground Tunnel. There will be numerous events to celebrate the arrival of Chaos.

But what's better is the release of a new character, Dio.


Dio the Vader (Stygian in other servers)
In case you haven't heard of him yet, here's a slight teaser (from the official news thread):


Dio was born in darkness, living his days in a dimension where his savage demon brethren lived for the joy of conquest and war.

When numerous portals opened up that led to the gates of a long-suffering kingdom, the demons saw their chance to wreck havoc on the outside world. And so began a war between mankind and demons that lasted for many years. But while his demon brothers enjoyed the carnage of war, Dio saw only sadness, pain and suffering. He did not want to be a part of that legend.

And so, Dio turned his back on his demonic heritage and rebelled against the demons. He fought tooth and nail and blade, until the war was ended and the portals to his dimension were sealed forevermore.

But now, the magic sealing off the portals was weakening, and Dio will soon come face-to-face with his destiny. A destiny that begins in the ranks of the Grand Chase!

Well, since almost all GC players have heard of him already, well, I wouldn't bother giving the details. But if you want to get him during the event period, it's better. Purchase the Dio Cash Scroll and you'll get the Dio Premium Wing as an extra.

Complete the mission during the event, and you'll get Dio's signature claw, the Rake Hand.

If you have money to burn, purchase the Dio Midnight Package. It contains the cash mission scroll plus the Midnight Dark Lord armor set and Death Star (Dio's signature weapon).
If you want to download the client, here's the link (mirror links): [link]

By the way, if you're itching for more info about Ley and her 2nd job, the Darkbringer, here's the link to the teaser video (not mine): [link]


Better wait a little while longer, for April 28 will be its release date.


Anyway, that's all. Ta-ta! ^^

GC: Chaos coming to PH + Ley's 2nd job

Well, looks like the money - burning events in GC PH are going to pay off (I think)... ^^

Since the Chaos update is coming near, after the server maintenance, there will be a countdown timer to the start of this new major update. Plus, for those wanting to get their hands on Dio, a mission scroll based on him will be made available on your first log-in (as part of the pre-Dio event).


Plus, the major update is now available for download, so better start now to avoid the traffic.

Perhaps the reservation package for Dio may be available soon... ^^

Meanwhile, the Korean players will be introduced to Ley's 2nd job: the Darkbringer.

Darkbringer teaser pic in kGC
April 28 would be the possible release date for Darkbringer.


As for Mari's 4th job & ST, well sorry if they'll be delayed (again). The developers are still churning up on ideas, but the players are still enraged on the hiatus, thinking that it was due to the Darkbringer release that they decided to set aside the idea for Mari's next progress. For me, I wouldn't if I have to wait for a long time, as long as what would come would be worth the patience.


Anyway, I hope the Darkbringer will be as awesome as Zero's 2nd job... ^^


That's all, folks! Gotta hit the sack now!

GC: Save the world + SB Gacha Ariel redux

Damn, another string of money-burning events to come... ><

Anyway, there are two new events this coming Tuesday:

Event no. 1: Save the World!

The mechanics are a bit complicated, but to condense them, here it goes:


Plant trees all over the world and nurture them using water (dropped at random during dungeon runs) and fertilizer (dropped by boss monsters). Once the tree has grown, you can harvest the fruits to get the treasure chests, which contain random items, including the Chaos Armor coupons (lvl 30, 14 days). 


If you use enough fertilizer, there's a chance that the normal tree will become a golden tree, which, when harvested, may contain gold tree treasure chests containing better items, including the Chaos Armor coupons (lvl 50, 14 days). But be careful; the tree may die if you put too much fertilizer.

Once you complete on planting trees on one continent, you will receive the Continent Treasure Chests plus the Chaos Armor coupons (lvl 30, permament). 

Open the continent treasure chests, and there's a chance you'll get the grand prizes: 


- Chaos Armor Coupons (lvl 50, permanent)
- Ancient Guardian (lvl 30, Legend Grade)
- Pet Tomo Card

Good luck!


Event no. 2: SB Gacha Ariel redux


Well, this is the second time for me to witness this... ^^;

Gacha Beads will be dropped at random during dungeon runs and be awarded as victory rewards in PvP.

To open them, you must purchase Spell Books (GP for the Depleted Beads and Cash for the Normal, Ancient and Epic Beads). Thankfully, for those with no money, free Spell Books will be given at first log-in during the Gacha weekend.


When you open the beads, there's a chance you'll get the ff.:


Depleted: Elena's Set (7 days)
Normal: Wind Bringer armor sets, 1st job weapons and accessories (all permanent)
Ancient: Tornado Bringer armor sets, 2nd job weapons and accessories (all permanent)
Epic: Storm Bringer armor sets, 4th job weapons and accessories (all permanent)

Complete a set for one character, and you'll get the grand prizes: the Ariel Pet Card & Naiad Circlet.

Unfortunately, I don't have separate pictures of the set, but I do have a wallpaper featuring the set, just to satiate your curiosity (from the Level Up! Games website).


Anyway! Good luck if you want to complete the set... ^^


Yep, the Chaos update will be coming near alongside Dio's release... Can't wait! :D


That's all for now! Ciao! ^^

GC: Arme revamp + SB Gacha Wonderland redux

Oh boy, the cash burning events just keep on coming... ^^;

Coming up after the server maintenance this coming Tuesday are two new updates:


Update no. 1: Arme revamp

Elesis and Lire had their 2nd classes upgraded. Now it's Arme's turn.

Alchemist skills and combos had been tweaked to improve its performance. In place of "Big Bomb" and "Create Item" (both 3MP skills), Alchemist will have "Blockbuster Explosion" and "Booby Trap" respectively. As part of the celebration, aside from the emblem popping out at random during dungeon runs (one must have an Arme in a party to activate the buff), the Alchemist, Warlock and Battle Mage cash scrolls will have a discounted price for a limited time, and the Lucky Package will be made available as well.

Boom goes the bomb! *evil laugh*

Update no. 2: SB Gacha Wonderland redux


For those who weren't able to complete the set during its first release or new players who haven't heard of the old SB Gacha sets yet, here's your chance. 

Well, you know the drill: Gacha beads will be dropped at dungeon runs and awarded as PVP victory rewards at random.


To open them, you must purchase Spell Books. For the Depleted beads, they will bought using GP, but for Normal, Ancient and Epic beads, you have to fork out Cash.


When you open the beads, there's a chance that you'll get the ff.:

Depleted: Elena's Set (7 days)

Normal: Clover Gambler armor sets, 1st job weapons & accessories (all permanent)

Ancient: Heart Gambler armor sets, 2nd job weapons & accessories (all permanent)

Epic: Spade Gambler armor sets, 4th job weapons & accessories (all permanent)

Complete a set for one character, and you'll get the grand prizes: the Chester Pet Card and Joker Gambler Mask.






Here are a few of the pictures of the set, in case you haven't heard of it:


Woah! What's the pigtails? Never mind...

Having good luck can make Jin very good - looking, seriously... ^^
Well, I hope there will be other important events after this, not just money - burning shenanigans... ^^;


That's all for now! Thanks for reading, bye! ^^

GC: Lire revamp + SB Gacha Francois redux

Well, it's been a while since Elesis got her own revamp for her 2nd job (Spearman). Now, it's Lire's turn to take her 2nd job to the next level.

The next patch will involve the Crossbowman revamp, with enhanced skills and abilities as compared to the previous version. Events will take place to celebrate its arrival, such as the buff emblem which (when a Lire was included in the party) gives +10 Atk/Def/Vit at random. Also, the price Crossbowman Cash mission scroll will have a discount, and LE Lucky Package will be available for purchase for a limited time.


Not only that, there will be another SB Gacha event, this time involving the return of an old favorite: the SB Gacha Francois.


Gacha beads will be dropped by monsters and given as victory rewards in PVP at random. To open them, you must purchase Spell Books. For the Depleted Beads, it will be bought for GP, but for the Normal, Ancient and Epic Beads, you must cough out Cash.

When you open Depleted, Normal, Ancient and Epic Beads, there's a chance you'll get the ff.:

Depleted:  Elena's Set (7 days) 
Normal: Victorian Count armor sets, 1st job weapons & accessories (all permanent) 
Ancient: Victorian Marquis armor sets, 2nd job weapons & accessories (all permanent) 
Epic: Victorian Duke armor sets, 4th job weapons & accessories (all permanent)

Complete a set for one character, and you'll get the grand prizes: the Francois Pet Card and Legendary Naiad Shield.


Here are some pictures of the set in case you're curious:


Sieghart does look handsome in that outfit, doesn't he? ^^


I have to admit, Mari does look pretty in that dress
Well, I've only seen 3 SB Gacha events so far (Ariel, Selion & Clockwork Knight), so I was surprised to see an old SB Gacha set like that coming back for a redux after its first appearance a long time ago.


Visit the official news thread for more info.


Well, that's all, folks! Be prepared to burn some real money for these treats! Sayonara!

GC: Zero's 2nd job released to Korean servers

I'm sure NAGC players finally got a treat on Zero by the time I posted this.

Remember the post about Zero's 2nd job? (Look up here if you haven't) Well, today, the Craver was finally released for all Korean Grand Chase players to try out.

Craver loading screen in kGC
Teaser video (not mine):



Skill test video (also not mine):



I had watched the video before, and I admit, Zero indeed looks bad-ass in that outfit. As for skills, my most favorites so far are Reflector (long-range attackers will receive the damage intended for Zero during its duration, like Lire for example) and Amid (Zero's eye glows a bright green as he was surrounded in a dark aura).


I'm glad that his attack skills had improved a bit on his 2nd job. I hope it will be polished on his last 2 jobs... ^^


Can't wait for Dio to come in GC PH! :D


That's all for now! Ciao!

EDIT: Added the skill test video in case you want to look at a better picture of his skills... ^^

GC: Elesis revamp + Clockwork Knight redux + Purchase reward (again)

Oh boy, another string of updates to come after the server maintenance in Grand Chase PH:


Update no. 1: Elesis revamp


Well, it's been a long time since her ST was released, and now she's going to be upgraded (again) with new skills & action modes for her 2nd job: the Spearman.


Update no. 2: SB Gacha Clockwork Knight redux


For those who weren't able to complete a set for one of their characters to obtain the pet, no need to worry! You'll be given another chance to obtain the armor parts, weapons and accessories of this latest SB Gacha to get the grand prize:the Clockwork Knight pet card.


Update no. 3: Purchasing rewards


For those who prefer using Cash to buy equipment & other necessities, rejoice! There will be another purchasing rewards promo, wherein one must spend a certain amount of cash points to gain prizes, including the Pet Kumi card, plus, Kumi armor sets & weapons will be available for a limited time.


Check out the official news thread for more info.


I hope that after this, either Dio, Jin's ST or GC: Chaos will come out.


And that's a wrap! See ya!

Real life: Saving the best for last + GC: Zero's 2nd job teaser

Well, I just finished watching K-ON!! episode 20 a while ago, and I still remembered the part after the school festival performance wherein Yui and the rest of the Light Music Club felt as if everything happened so fast in a blink of an eye. Then they started talking about their future plans, until they all got emotional and began to cry, because they just wished they wouldn't leave their beloved school. After all, they (except Azusa) were already seniors and were going to graduate soon, so the school festival would be their last event.

Believe me, the school festival performance was the best event for them, and they'll never ever forget about it.

There's a saying that goes "Save the best for last". It means that before a moment ends, there must be the most amazing events going on. Those events would serve as trademarks or highlights of that moment, ones which would always leave a mark in their lives before the curtain closes without any chance for an encore.

Yeah, very poignant, but still, one must cherish those moments like they are his or last moments.

After all, life's too short... :D

By the way, I just checked the Grandchase.info blog, and discovered that Zero's 2nd job will be coming out after a few weeks in kGC. Not much info yet about it, but this teaser pic may intrigue you (from the blog).


Well, Cow mentioned that Zero's 2nd job name is Craver, though there's a possibility that it may change once it's finally released.

My first thought when I saw the pic was "WTH? Zero looks good in that outfit!" But I noticed that Grandark still remained the same. The eye mask does look cool on him, though.

I hope that after that, Mari's 4th job and ST will go next (though I have to wait a little longer).

That's all for now! Arrivederci! ^^

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. 


Sieghart's ST outfit
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!

GC: New character - Ley the Summoner

I had mentioned before that there will be a new character for Grand Chase (check it here if you haven't seen it yet). Right now, that's when I'll tell you more about it. 

Her name is Ley (name may change once she will be released in other servers), and her first job class is known as Summoner.

Summoner loading screen in kGC


 Skill Test Video (not mine):



Dungeon Run (also not mine):





Yep, she's a magic user like Arme, except that her attacks compose mainly of summoning dark orbs, especially her skills. And yes, she can levitate and teleport. What interests me though, is her ability to summon a dragon - like creature (reminds me much of Selion, in my opinion), and even a butler! *cough - HayatenoGotoku - cough*


Too bad she's an AP-user, though (like Dio and Zero), and her skills seemed to be way too overpowered. I'm still curious with the claw-like weapon she's wielding (different from Dio's demonic claw). I wonder what's the name. 

But still, she packs quite a punch, especially with her creature and the butler.

That's all for now! Adios, amigos! ^^

EDIT: Changed the video size to fit into my post, and I also added the dungeon run videos... ^^

GC: Clockwork Knight - New SB Gacha set! + new Archemedia dungeons

Awww man, it's been a while since the last SB Gacha event in Grand Chase PH. I knew everyone had gone loco over completing Dark armor sets, even if it's for just one character, for the sake of obtaining Selion. And now, there will another SB Gacha event! This time, it's about the 8th Gacha Set - the Clockwork Knight.

Yep, the mechanics will be the same: Purchase Spell Books using Cash (or GP if you're buying Spell Books for Depleted Beads), use them to open the Gacha Beads, and you'll get a chance to get one of the armor parts of the set, or even weapons. If you complete the set, you'll get the SB Gacha pet.


In this case, you'll get a chance to obtain either one of the parts of the Tinker Apprentice armor set, 1st Job weapons and accessories (from Sealed Beads), Clockwork Artisan armor set, 2nd Job weapons and accessories (from Ancient Sealed Beads), or Steampunk Savant set,  4th Job weapons and  accessories(from Epic Sealed Beads).


Complete a set (including the weapon and the accessories) for one character, and you'll get the pet: Clockwork Knight, the Mecha Guardian.

But if you're out of Cash and prefer to unseal the Depleted Beads, there's a chance that you'll get one part of Elena's set. Unfortunately, it'll expire after 7 days.


By the way, aside from the Gacha event, there will two new dungeons for the Archemedia continent: Undermine and Thunder Hammer. You need to be at least lvl 65 if you want to survive going there.


Anyway, if you're curious, check out the official news here.


That's all for now! Ta-ta! ^^

GC: Another new character? O_O

Ok, I just checked the latest posts at the Grandchase. info blog, and this caught my attention:

There will be another character to be released in the Korean servers of GC, and this time, it's another female character.


News can be found here (for the English speakers), and here (for those who can understand Korean, although using Google translate is a good choice... ^^;).




Well, I'm glad that this new character is not another sword wielder (seriously, most of the GC characters are sword wielders.) Judging from her appearance, I could say that she's a demon, possibly from a royal bloodline.


But still, I'm confused with the weapon she's wielding, and just like most of the players, I hope she's not an AP-user (like Dio and Zero), otherwise it would be boring.


Will be posting more info once the new character is finally out.


That's all! Sayonara! ^^

GC: New log-in screens?!? And even weapon change?!? Dancer now has Skill Tree?!?

Damn! Sick with the usual cough and cold combination again, and I just hope I'll completely recover from it before my birthday.

Ok, enough with the complaints. Here are a few interesting things that I had discovered while browsing through my trusted source for all updates in the Grand Chase world: the Grandchase.info blog:

Update #1:  New log-in screens


Right now, it was currently applied to servers for players in both Thailand and Indonesia. I had to admit, the old log-in screen with the blue skies, white clouds and a grassy field could be quite boring, so the guys who published the game in Thailand and Indonesia decided to revamp the screen for added eye-candy. That would be one interesting suggestion for feedback, if there will be a survey for all GC PH players to answer.


New log-in screen in GC TH

New log-in screen in GC IN (catching up, isn't it?)

Update #2:  Weapon swap


That would surely be a hot topic ever since its inception in the Korean servers. The pet slot in the equipment screen was replaced with the secondary weapon slot, so, bye-bye pets... T_T


Opening the slot is like opening a skill tree using a skill key. Once you open it, it's already open for life. Your character needs to be at least level 45 in order to use it though.


Unfortunately, there were some restrictions. You can only change weapons when you're idle, and it's usable only while hunting in dungeons. Also, you cannot change weapons while in transformation mode (Sorry, Ryan users)... ^^;


Here's a sample video (not from me!):



Update #3:  Dancer ST



Yep, you got that right. In GC PH, another first job class will have a Skill Tree this coming Tuesday after the usual server maintenance, and this time, it's from Amy! The Dancer will have its own skill tree, adding new options and strategies to attack opponents while dancing to the beat. GC PH players will surely be thrilled to see it, but considering the glitches that it had in other servers and the possibility of revamping it to make it smoother, there will be mixed emotions once they see the change. As usual, there will be events to celebrate its arrival.



So there you have it, folks. Check out the official GC PH website and the Grandchase.info blog if you're curious.


Signing off now... Bye! ^^

EDIT: Changed the link of the Grandchase.info blog, since it has gone a huge revamp recently... ^^ 

ANOTHER EDIT: Pets can still be used even with weapon change... Sorry for being so OA... ^^

Mari's 2nd class to emerge with a bang in GCPH

Well, here we go again with another update to make way for all Grand Chase PH players out there!

Shortly after the release of Sieghart's fourth job, the Prime Knight, Mari's 2nd job will come out after the server maintenance this coming Tuesday. From showing her mechanic prowess as an Ether Tech, Mari's abilities will evolve to the next level with long - range firepower and great speed. Yes, you got that right, Mari's next job will be the Gunslinger.

Mari about to show off long - range firepower with her gun as a Gunslinger

Let's sneak peek with a little info about the upcoming job class (based on the official statement in the official GCPH website): 

Ages ago, a legendary kingdom was at war with the magic tribes. While the kingdom’s magic users were instrumental in the war, their powers were exhausted and their resources slowly dwindled, which made sustaining the war with the magic tribes becoming more and more impossible by the day.

It was then that a skilled magic engineer developed a gun that could go on firing as long as the user’s magic powers endure. A special soldier was created to handle this gun, known today as the Gunslinger. With Gunslingers in the kingdom’s command, the magic tribes lost and the war came to an end.

Unfortunately, the legendary kingdom met its untimely end in a mysterious explosion and with it the secrets and technology to making Gunslingers.

But not all is lost. The Dwarves of Archemedia have been found to use rifles based on the ancient designs of the Gunslinger weapons! Soon, in a great pilgrimage to learn more about her past, Mari was given one of the dwarves’ designs and the title of the legendary Gunslinger!

As a Gunslinger, Mari makes use of magic and machines to dispatch enemies. Her long-range attacks are weakened, but at mid-range her power is unequaled. With Triple Missiles, Thermal Traps and her innate speed, Mari the Gunslinger is a force to be reckoned with in the battlefield. There won’t be anything left of evil once Mari’s finished with them!

The Grand Chase team now has extra firepower in Mari the Gunslinger.

Join them in their quest to rid the world of evil once and for all!


Yep, as usual, there will be events to celebrate the Gunslinger's release. But that's not all, Gacha Selion will be back, giving players another chance to complete the highly coveted Dark sets and weapons, and even the rare chance to obtain Selion itself. Plus, there will be special rewards if you purchase items using a certain amount of cash points, like the rare pet Lilith card.

Check out the official GCPH website for more info.


Ok, signing off now... It's late at night already and I need sleep... ^^

Of closures and new stuff

Yep, it's me again, ready to deliver what's going on in the online gaming scene... ^^

Let me start with two new updates:
First up, I'm sure all Grand Chase players in the Philippines are excited about the coming of Sieghart's fourth job: the Prime Knight

The loading screen during the Prime Knight release in Korean servers


Here's some info about the class from the official news statement in the official GCPH website:

When the war against the forces of evil spread throughout Bermesiah and beyond, the gods soon realized that the mortal world was in peril. And so, they summoned the best knights from all over the world, looking for the few to be granted awesome powers for use against the coming threat.

It was then that Sieghart caught the eye of the gods because of his dedication to his cause, and his devotion to training and honing his skills to become the best that he can be. After a series of grueling trials and tests, Sieghart finally returned as a Prime Knight, wielding the authority of the gods as the most powerful kind warrior in the world!

As a Prime Knight, Sieghart uses the Executioner sword, blessed by the Sun and Moon. To wield Executioner, one must gain the approval of both Sol and Luna, and become the Primus of the Executioner, to use its full power. Don’t let its immense size fool you, it’s actually made up of two separate swords, allowing Sieghart to attack the enemy with quick swipes and strikes to catch evildoers off-guard!

In addition, Sieghart gets an upgraded Rage ability, increasing the number of hits he can do with normal and Rage attacks, and increasing the power of his attacks to staggering levels. Very few classes survive a battle with a Raging Prime Knight!

The Grand Chase has now tapped into the fury of Sieghart the Prime Knight!

Join them in their quest to rid the world of evil once and for all!


Yep, that description alone got all GCPH players all pumped up for the upcoming challenge, espcially with events to celebreate the Prime Knight's arrival... ^^

Next on the list is the arrival of a new MMORPG, Battle of the Immortals, developed by Perfect World Shanghai and published in the PH by Cubizone Philippines. Currently in Open Beta, it boasts itself to be very different due to its unique avatar customization system, the pet & mount system, unique quests designed to give more than just exp. points, and even the wedding system and the so-called Realm of Love.

But sadly, while there are new arrivals, there are also farewells, like Nostale Global going to shut down this month. As you all know, Nostale is one of the MMOs brought to us by E-Games, but it's actually on a global server and not the common misconception that E-Games is the one publishing it separately as a local game. According to the statement found in the Gamedok Chronicles, there will be a celebration of the server closing festival before the servers finally shut down for good.


Look here for the complete news regarding this matter.


Well, anyway, that's all for this day... Gotta hit the sack now! ZZZZzzzz
