The spell "X-Ray" actually works now. If you cast it, the person you cast it on will begin to see through walls. With this effect you can see things hidden behind houses, find people hiding, etc.

[Obs311]

Kind of interesting that I'm able to see behind houses now. Already found a few things.

GK now has a level cap of 10 with only -25 wc/ac replacing observer mode.

Hey Tig, it's impossible to start a sentence with the word "Musical". Any chance you'll get around to that/the word filter?

[Ravenblade1979]

actually with increasing prices on things $50 is not something i wish to spare.

Classic is supposed to be more like Zelda. The quests are based on the player solo-ing quests (seeing as how there aren't really team-orientated quests on Classic at the moment), much like LttP. Quests aside, most of the best events on Classic only require maximum 10 players.

GK, on the other hand, is apparently based on kingdoms (going from the fact that it does have 5 kingdoms, each with their own islands/themes, and of course the server name). Unless you find ~2 people per kingdom to be fun or something, I'd say GK requires a healthy number players to be "fully experienced", as opposed to Classic which could easily be enjoyed with only 10.

[Ravenblade1979]

The New MMT looks nice.

[Damix2]

Yea, I cast x-ray then went to Era and still had the x-ray effects haha.

[Draenin]

Did you make it to where the alpha on everything gets adjusted at once? I noticed my screen flickers whenever I use the spell, and things get blurry after a while.

[Hatred89]

Alright, so I thought I would post here some bugs/fixes that might need to be made with trails.
1. If I were to bring a zepplin from any kingdom to main I could end up giving it to a trial for him to travel to the kingdom island.
2. If the player was orginally gold and then runs out of gold he can no longer go to his house to fix it. Its going to cause a lot more houses to fall.

Had to post quick b/c I gtg.

[Tigairius]

Fixed a few bugs:

-Can't use bows while on karts now.
-Your pets/golems/elementals can no longer carry infinite weight. The default maximum weight limit for these creatures is set to 100kg.

The good side: You finally killed a bug that allowed a lot of people to easily exploit the mining system by using bots. (Like Etien and Kefkin once did.)
The bad side: If you have a lot of belongings in your house, they will be really hard to move all at once now unless you have really high str.

Should make a wagon attachment you can make for your horse to push around.

Considering we already have that wagon by the Bomboria lumber mill, I would like to see it used stuff. Possibly for transporting slower players too!

This is a very important point - GK is going to be a trial friendly environment that will encourage them to upgrade. This release is less trial friendly but it is our long term goal to be very inviting and encouraging for trials.

I could not disagree any more strongly. I played GK when it had a regular count of 150 players...


Graal was the most fun game I'd played when GK was that active, and it's our intent to make it that active again.

PMoP should be dealt with in future updates.

I personally appreciate your verbal opinion on trial restrictions - it's a policy put in place by the game owners to help sell the game to customers.

But we shouldn't be hostile. Trial players should have as much fun as they can, with very carefully selected areas set to lack the depth a gold player enjoys. They shouldn't be persecuted though.

Nice.

Something I would like in a future update are external house decorations. I want a shrubbery.

We have flower beds. Get to watering, slick.

Pretend I was allowed to post "Never Gonna Give You Up" and Rick Ansley was sweetly singing that he would never let you down.

It'd be like having a little buffet.

[Nature2]

Fixed/Added things on Kingdoms Core:

-Allys can hit each other on kingdoms core now.
-A minimap got added with symbols for a better gameplay.

-Fixed a problem with the gates (gates could not be hit when the event ran 10-15 minutes)

@Stephen: I just don't see the use on blowing $50 on graal when I have other important stuff to pay for like food, bills etc. I don't know its just me.

@all others: Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying don't pay for gold. in fact you should its just that my situation doesn't allow me the benefit of blowing that $50 on a gold membership at this current time.

Isn't Stephen doing just that?

Thats him not me. I tend to keep my priorities straight these days. I kind of have too with a $1200 a month rent plus utilities and food etc.

Why live extravagantly and have little at your disposal when you can live modestly and have much? Unless you have a wife and kids, why go through that much money just to live?

Well there's 4 of us sharing the house but I still pay $300 rent on my end plus i help with bills and food and also until i get my own pc i won't play graal again. Would like to have my own pc when i get back into it.

Yea, I guess recently purchasing a house and heating it entirely on my own, while paying all my utilities and food bills means my priorities are pretty out of wack.

[Packratia]

Think of it this way, a month of GK is cheaper than a Double Quarter Pounder @ McHell

1) i'm not old enough to legally get a job.
2) i'm not going to find another hobby because i can't pay to upgrade my account on graal, because i'm 14 and a year away from legally being able to get a job.

This isn't the place, and I'm sorry I let the topic shift.

Now it should be about as accurate as a forest bow, making it probably the best bow in game.

Yup, Accuracy is ownage.

As calling it the best bow, I can tell:

[Draenin]

God relics should, ideally, be very strong like that.


Also, are the updates over? I'm guessing yes.

[Soala]

Let's just wait for Quarter 3 then =D

[Tigairius]

Yes, so to recap:

• Kingdoms Core was released, the event is automatic and recurring so it can be access 24/7 without any events masters.
• Trial members are now capped off at level 10 and are not allowed to participate in kingdoms, but observer mode was removed.
• New event system
• Improved the accuracy of Aengus' Elven Bow.
• All armour speed caps (excpet for any platemail alchemy items) have been increased so that they are not so restricting to your speed.
• Added a brand new Misty Mug Tavern which includes over 5 levels and a new & improved Bojenera tileset.
• The spell "X-Ray" actually works now. If you cast it, the person you cast it on will begin to see through walls. With this effect you can see things hidden behind houses, find people hiding, etc.
• Fixed several bugs with golems, bows and other systems.
• New easter house renovation including a new tileset, new stats on monsters, completely new gear including full rabbit costumes and new weapons to enjoy.
• Several easter-themed events were held and new items were released.
• Fixed many other interface bugs.

Actually this spell is very laggy. All those effects are nice but really make some people crash, and most of them use it for fun.
Anything to correct this?

Most of them tell me to disable Light in F3, but this way I can't enjoy the game fully.
