Meeting My Other Half of Me.

I woke up in the morning and check out how my CC went, and expectedly, there was a letter to tell me i've gotten my prize from the WYD Journal Event. I opened it, and there was three sentences instead of the usual one. (if u participate you'll get what i mean)

One word to best describe my feelings. WTF? Nice guess almost but not quite. Flabbergasted is the word i'd use.

Finally, my streak of best entries ended; and i know all good things will come to an end; what goes up must come down, etc you get my point.

But, i did not expect it to be my previous post that lost it as i felt it was written pretty well balanced with pictures. Good old blogs with words and feelings coupled with some pictures dont work out now i figured. Comics, majorly edited pictures will do the trick. Im disappointed. Very.

Sigh, CMs do have their right to pick the winners to their own discretion so what can i do? :/ Get on with life i guess.

Thanks RoyalRumble of guild Disturbed and OP of Malaysia Academy and the people who consoled and still supported me and my humble blog. Your kind words of motivation will get me going for the next four days.

So i dont really have the mood to write nicely so i just flood today's post with pictures. :/

.
.
.

So i was in-game and i was f*cking astonished. Suddenly outta nowhere, a splitting image of myself appeared and started talking to me. crap.


Woah. Who da hell are you?

I asked him who he was and if he was my evil clone. And we started quarreling.



Wait, your mum is my mum!

So started exchanging your-mum insults and realised, his mum was mine and vice versa. So we exchanged blows instead. (no, not that kind you horny a$$ lol)


You visited me at a wrong day pal!

He said he was here to calm me down from what has happened at the WYD Journal and told me life hafta go on. But i was too pissed and disappointed to listen, so i let my knuckles do the talking. *POW*

We're the X-twins. X_x

--


Ow, get your face outta my arse.
---

Damn, stop using Hair-Hax0r hair cream noob.
---
So we wrestled and fought with each other as he was really getting on my nerves and adding to my frustration. And finally i managed to subdue him.


Dont need captions to tell you what he's doing.


See how irritatin he can get. lol.

That's it.
--
I pressed Alt-F4 and bailed myself out from WYD for awhile, only to find myself blogging bout WYD. crap.
--
No more whining, im off to meet friends and enjoy life and not occupy myself trying to find reasons why i didnt win a blog entry of day. Its not a matter of Laks, but a matter of effort. Screw it. Tata.
.
.
.

Thanks to MisterCuddles aka the Knowns for his inspiration for today's post.

Thanks again to RoyalRumble bro, your encouragement means alot to me. I know you're reading this.

Without you two, there wouldnt be an entry today either. Thank You.

Stay tune for more entries as we near the end of WYD Journal Event i guess.

Reflections and my personal opinion of how the future of this WYD Journal Event gonna be up soon too.

Your Royal Dampness,

Journey of a Young Immortal.

Coolio finally fulfilled his destiny to be a hunter on 24th August 2008 and a new journey embarks for him. With newfound skills of the hunter, Coolio starts a journey With His Destiny.

First stop after the King granted Coolio the pass to Immortality, WYD Heaven.


Heaven is a place on Earth. Or not.

Coolio went into a warp portal right after the acceptance of the king and ascended into a holy place, the WYD Heaven. It was a beautiful to behold, and Coolio cannot help gasping.

Clouds and the clear blue sky was everywhere and Coolio found himself walking on air. "Cool!" he exclaimed and went back to WYD Earth to resume his journey.


The bare-naked Truth.
Transcended back to Earth, Coolio was a weak and pitiful sight. LOL. He had no clothes on and was a measly level one. Hurriedly, Coolio went to his abode and took out his armor parts he wore while he was a mortal.

Looking at his Bhopal Swords at his stash, Coolio hesistated to pick them up. Instead he walked out to the marketplace unarmed. With sharp eagle eyes, Coolio tried to look for a weapon suitable for the new him; alas there it was, an Elven Bow +5. (LOLOL serious im using this)

Ready for him to gain more experience, Coolio went to slay some boars outside armia. Past memories flashed across his mind with each squealing of a pig. ROFL. He was reliving his past as a young aspiring BeastMaster. Finally, the smell of the pigs got to him and he moved on to the Dungeon.

Visiting the Griffon Master at Armia, Coolio rode a level 50 Griffin? Lol.


Wished it was mine. =(

Overlooking all over the Armia Fields, the griffin swiftly brought Coolio to the Dungeon entrance. It was an thrilling ride throughout and one will wonder when the new mounts namely Griffins and perhaps Green Dragon will come out in WYD. hehe.

Finally Coolio was no longer a newb but a novice and he started to look for a guild. He went back to his previous Academy - Malaysia but realised Gods cannot join it. (i know beforehand of cos lol) Rejected, Coolio's head hung till he saw his old mates from Supreme Destiny (SD)

Woot PrOmiSe, Sub-head of guild ZEUS recruited me and i was rejoined with my past mates once again. TAHOE, DeneB, Zoro, -Chaos-, Total0wn, Arrancar, EnEmy0fSuN, Ryukz, Ebiru, FlintA and too many to mention all welcomed me with open arms and exceeding warmth.

With a newfound guild and new identity, Coolio seeks to level as fast as he could so he could join the ranks of the Zeus members at the shortest time.

So, CAN SOMEONE DO A N SHARE FOR ME PLEASEEEEE. sorry for caps, cant be helped no one do N shares nowadays! :(

Boo. Anyways for those who are as clueless as me yesterday about how Upgraders look like and their mechanism, here is a picture of how an Upgrader look like.


Risky AND Rewarding. :/

Alright i hope you guys enjoy today's post and stick around! :D
Comments are very much welcome!

Events & Maintenance Tuesday. [26/8/08]

The title of today's post seems familiar and yes it has something to do with today's maintenance. However, its more of an introduction of the new events that are upcoming. Therefore its more of a more-about-events post haha.

I personally value and love events alot, even tho some events might disappoint me as i could not really attend or participate in.

Events to me, are special bonuses to let u spend your attention on. Dont you feel sick always CC-ing mobs, PK-ing, or AFK merchanting? I mean, its the same old process over and over again and thankfully, more in-game events are being introduced.

Games of the Generals is now a permanent activity in WYD, together with mini events like Scrap events and Royal Rumble (havent take part in them since they held at 3am but might) and not forgetting the wonderful Academy League.

They make me look forward to loggin into the game and im grateful that WYD has so much events in store for us (tho some are not as nice) Today i will touch on the two major events coming up today; namely The Olympic Quiz and the Mystic Journey.

Mystic Journey

This event is an event im 101% certain im not able to join. Imagine a treasure hunt combined with a wild goose chase and you have this event, however the reward might be very attractive. You have to collect items from all around WYD and in the end you will make an upgrader.

I do not have an exact idea and description of an upgrader, but i provided the link to WYD's event page, click the name or here to see.

Heres an image of a Map Piece for those who like to see how its like.


Gotta catch them all, 5 more to go!


Ah, what a cute event even though the prizes are nothing to be wow-ing about. 30k gold for answering a question right. lol. Its a multiple choice question related to the Olympics 2008 and they give you 4 choices.

What really impress me is that the GMs + CMs actually tried to connect with the community as the Olympics Games is a worldwide event that was just over. Imagine the facts and questions they have to think of to ask us, the effort put in; even thought i had seen repeats but bottomline is, the effort they are showing.

A screenshot of how the popup in your screen will look like when you answer it correctly and wrongly. (hope you guys can see it)


LOL study more?! Im here to play! lol :D
--
Hehe this event only lasts till the 2nd September tho, so have fun answering this funky trivias b4 it ends! haha.
--
Oh another "event" which also lasts till 2nd September is the Nell Gamble thingy. For 1 whole week, there would be a 20% Gamble Price Discount from the usual 500 wcoins? (correct me im wrong)
--
Maintenance today did not go smooth and had a hiccup where Merchant Nell could not be used and delay in reopening servers. The thoughtful GMs then compensated the players with a modified experience rate for 3 hours till 12:00 game time. Good job well done by them. haha.
---
Btw check out the banners of the events, looks really nice especially the Mystic Journey one tho the event aint as good lol (of cos imo)
--
For more information about changelog after today's maintenance click here to link to the CM Lair entry about the change logs.
---
Okay to end today's entry about the events available, check out CM Dhar's Blogsite for a possible upcoming event regarding Friendster and Facebook! heheh. enjoy ;)

The Sacred Path to Immortality.

You know, i seldom do guides as i felt most of my other fellow bloggers has already covered enough. Other then the "Hooked on Books" entry, no other post has pretty much been a guide.

This entry might seem like a bedtime story to most of you as you had already pass this stage (lol sorry im slow) but im quite sure it would help the mortals. As i can understand the irritation caused when you spammed your guildmates or friends for guidance.

Anyways 24th August 2008 marks the rebirth of Cooldude21, the Hunter!

Prologue.

Coolio looks up at the crimson skies as the sun slowly set down into the horizon, and galloping sounds led his attention to the town's gate. Two hunters riding throughbreds ghosted past, together with their cargo trailer. Coolio managed to catch a glimpse of what is inside, and saw a sight anyone would envy. The cargo trailer was filled with Laktorerium Powders, scraps, some rare armors and precious stones like Garnet and Diamonds.

Coolio looked up to the hunters as he yearned to be one. He was a BeastMaster long enough, he wanted to learn something new. He knew that would not be possible for some time to come. But somehow, as though his Destiny beckoning, he found himself walking towards a glowing bush. With his Destiny, he dug and found something so rare, its worth alot of gold. There it was, the Unicorn and Phoenix Spirits.


God Ingredients
Alright, i cant guarantee 100% im correct bout making a Sephiroth as i got it as a Sephiroth itself, but i think you need the 8 Stones from fated Ores and something else. (Please comment if you know how)
--
But i do know the rest, you would need the Sephiroth, with a Unicorn Spirit (rare), a Phoenix Spirit and 10 Sapphires.
---
Following that, you go to either king, or you can simply type /king if you belong to a kingdom. Above the guard where you do your 220 emblem quest, there is a lady called the Oracle. Talk to her and she will form for you the Eternal Stone.
--

My bad, forgot to feed my Fenrir. lol.
---
My fenrir got hungry as i forgot to feed it before i go for this quest and therefore it bit the Oracle's head. She escaped unhurt but with a smelly and wet head.
---
Next, you equip the Sephiroth and Eternal Stone at the slots where you put your PD/AD Stones, Resistance Stones, Crit Stone slots.



After that, with those equipped, you talk to the king and he will bless you with immortality! :D But my Fenrir's tummy growled again and bit the King's Parade Horse's a$$. ZOMG.



My Fenrir "horsing" around lol.

Finally, after like 4 months of playing, i finally turned God. Yipeee! So excited but the thought of being a noob again spoilt my party lol. jk. Who knows when i will get Celestial next? maybe years later lol.

Haha im a DragonBall Wannabe.
Weeee! so thrilled and WYD now has more meaning for me other then just hunting etc haha. Thanks guys for the generous comments and compliments some of you has given me in-game. Really appreciate you guys reading and i love you guys!

Your Royal Coolness,

In the midst of a dream.

"Go! Finish the Half Orc with your ferocious bite!" I commanded to my pet dragon puppy.

Light glimmered out from my dragon puppy as it gained another level from another long day of training. The night is falling and therefore we decided to head back to Erion to wash up.

The Dragon Puppy playfully used his tiny wings and splashed water at me while i was bathing it. "Alright boy, time for your beauty sleep. cmon lets go"

It has been a long day of training and i felt a sense of satisfaction as the dragon puppy started snoring. Resting my tired legs, i sat on a crate but my eyelids felt heavy and with every ounce of energy i tried to open them, it still closed eventually and i fell into a deep slumber.

.
.
.

When i woke up, i was in the middle of a bustling town full of people all around. But most of them were on mounts, not the usual mounts but high leveled ones! Amazed, i skipped around town looking at their awesome pets.


A Boar-ing couple. lol. yawns.

I spotted a lovely couple at the side of the town, away from all the noise from the town centre. They were on a pair of lovely high leveled boars!


Pooh Bear got honey all over him lol.
At the corner of my eye, something shiny and golden caught my attention. WOAH it was a high leveled bear! They spot a golden and shiny skin, showing the experience they had.


White Parade Horse at the Black Parade Concert by MCR.
With every twist and turn of my head, i can spot almost a high level mount at once. With this twist, it did not disappoint me too, i spotted a White Parade Horse with glimmering armor! Wowwwww. where is this place i wondered.


Uni-versal Beauty.


Not far away from the White Parade Horse, i saw a beauty. Oh allow me to correct myself, i saw TWO beauties, one riding on top of the other. LOL. Okay the unicorn was enough to mesmerise me; skip the girl.

But they were all gathered near a familiar area, the Armia PK Arena but for? OMGWTFBBQ! In the middle of the Arena stood a godly being on a godly mount, one fit for a king. It looks like a unicorn with a Parade Horse's armour. Totally splendid and awesome.


GM Hermes Spectacular Unicorn.

Is this a dream? All my life as a pet trainer, the most rewarding thing which could happen to me, was to see my mount grow up strong and grow in level. If only this was true i muttered, as i felt the images around me start to grow faint.

Up above, some flying object shadowed me. It was a griffin! How often do you see a griffin? Landing beside me, it seems to welcome me with those beautiful wings. So, i decided to make my best moment last, so i rode the Griffin and it brought me around the enchanted lands.


Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars.


A large gust of wind suddenly blew across my face. I woke up almost instantly, it was my pet dragon puppy using its wings. Beside my dragon puppy, i saw a bundle of Dragon Puppy Essense lying on the ground. I rubbed my eyes twice, trying to clear my vision but it remained there nonetheless.

No matter where the land was, i felt newfound motivation to train my pet dragon puppy so it could bring me to the enchanted land in my dreams.

Lol just a random post linking all the high level and beauty of all the high level mounts in WYD. hope you liked it. (:

Wonders of Cosmetic Surgery.

I saw something familiar in the chat box when i logged in, which read "CM Dhar" and then i clicked on my wheel and twirled around hoping to spot him haha. I knew he had changed his skin but i still thought he kept his size and height lol.

And oh, there he was, in the mist of the Phillipinos at Galford. haha. So off i went to greet him. Oh for some of you who might have forgotten or didnt know how CM Dhar used to look, here you go, he was known for being pink, huge (and i mean really hugeeeeee) and sinister looking haha.



CM Dhar showing that size does not matter. lol.
---
So we started a conversation and i expressed my sincerity and i told CM Dhar that my previous post before this was not meant to flame but it was just a flashback of memory. So we conversed about the WYD Journal which is about to end at the 1st of September i think. heheh cant wait for it.
--
I heard that the WYD Journal might be extended due to increasing participation from fellow WYDians and i shall not reveal more, but advice you guys to check out the CM Lair on a regular basis if you are interested to know. hehe.
---
Nah just kidding, he wasnt that mean lol.
---
Looking back at my entries and the time i spent on WYD Journal, im proud to be part of its success and it had really changed me. You see, i have a personality that does not like to be tied down, and i'd only commit to something if i enjoy it, not just because its rewarding.
---
From a person who does not even know how to set up a blog, ive evolved into someone who loves to enjoy the limelight and share with others what my thoughts were and etc. Kay shall save the rest for the last.


.
.
.

So i asked CM Dhar bout the WYD Journal stuff and its not gonna end at 1st September so to those inspired readers of mine if youre interested, you still have the chance! :D

Finally, the question kept bugging me to let it out, so i blurted, "What makes you wanna change your skin?"

CM Dhar then explained that he wanted to look moreeeeeee sinister LOL. What a reason he should prolly take a skin of Mr Sinister, one of Marvel's villains lol. For those of you who are curious to know more about CM Dhar and the reasons of changing his skin, check out his blogsite at the right column of my page. hehe.

We, the bladers of WYD, lol.

Well, talking bout changing of skins, i felt that this feature could be implemented in WYD. Before the creation of your character, eyes, hair, skin tone and such could be personalised so that it would make you feel a sense of belonging! One game i heard which has this was Perfect World which my friend played. lol. (pssst heard its a grinding game. :X)

So the WYD team might say, yea but this might cause server lag and extra expenses etc etc. But say, what about a WYDen item that can only be bought by wcoins? Like a trip to Korea or Thailand for a cosmetic Surgery that you can re-edit your colours of the eyes, skin and all the adjustments that you can do!

Errr, why would we wanna do that? you might wonder. Well maybe for nicer screenies firstly. and how bout showing unity? Imagine a guild whos members only consists of yellow eyes, dark violet hair and crimson coloured skin? wont it look AWESOME? lol.

Kay enough of my random thoughts. haha hope you guys enjoyed reading,

stick around for more coolness! :P

Adding legs to a snake? O_O"

Its finally over. My exams that is. Tho i think i can barely pass, well its not up to me to decide now; so just maybe pray a little and just wait for the results. haha.

Well, today's topic gonna be about the multi client that CM Dhar has posted on his blogsite as well as the CMs' Lair. Reading bout it makes me think back of a story i read when i was a child. it goes something like...

.
.
.

Back in the olden times, theres this group of 5 children who loved watermelon juice and would often fight and quarrel for it. However, there was only about enough for only one.

Therefore their grandfather took out 5 pieces of paper and 5 pencils out for them.

"With your destiny (LOL), draw me a snake in the fastest time possible and i will reward him with the last glass of watermelon juice." said gramps.

Therefore there was this child, lets call him Alex, who drew the fastest and looking around, he saw the rest of them still barely started. Therefore feeling all proud, he started to draw legs on the snake to make it look better.

Just as he finally completed the final stroke to the final leg and raised his hands to get Grandpa's attention, another child did the same simultaneously.

Grandpa then gathered both their works and a minute of dead silence followed after. Grandpa then slowly shoke his head and walked towards Alex.

"Alex my boy, a snake doesnt have legs. This is therefore not a snake" remarked Gramps while patting his back.

Delightedly, the winner child took and gulped down the watermelon juice while Alex could only stare in disbelief.

.
.
.

In chinese, this idiom is called Hua She Tian Zhu. (sorry i dont have the chinese program lol.) Meaning, Adding legs to a snake.

It means that the action is redundant and uncalled for.

Can you not relate this to the removal of WYDWO.exe in the 1st place? The WYD Team mentioned, no multi-logging is allowed anymore after the patch. And then 2,3 weeks later they teach you how to. LOL.

Its not a flame to anyone but i just felt that the removal of the multi-logger was redundant in the 1st place. Causing me to recall of this childhood story. haha.

Nevertheless, i wanna thank them for reinstating multi-logging back into the game. Imho, i felt that its essential as it could help hunt stronger mobs and you get the point.

Btw, Soloran my fellow blogger has got some heartening issues in his blog, please visit his blog and read it, and if possible, fork out a minute or so to comment. Thanks.

Alright guys, exams are out! its time for PARTAYYYYY!

stick around guys!

Hook on Books?

Two papers down, final one to go tomorrow. and all thats left for me to do, is to pray i pass. haha. Recently i've been burying my head in books and im so hooked on revising that i even think about books when im in WYD!


Legend has it that he used to be a librarian. LOL.

You'll learn something here i promise. haha. afterall its a post all bout books in WYD. Also known as the Sephira skills, these are skills that all characters can learn. However, they are not easily gotten (not talking bout buying of cos) They drop from high level monsters from the Apes at SnowField to the Liches in Desert Dungeons.

They are really useful especially in battle. read on to find out bout the specific skill books!



Conjure Cannon (Req lvl 220)

A book useful only at the kingdom noatum as the only cannons are found there. This sephira skill allows you to control a cannon and hurl explosives at opponents. Very useful in kingdom wars as it has a terrifying range and hurts too. However those with low hitpoints or defence avoid using this, you might get owned when youre at the cannon.



Resurrect (Req Lvl 256)

One of the coolest book available is the Resurrect book. It allows the user to have a chance at reviving himself instead of going back to town. When it is successful you have a short invulnerabilty period and have a drop of hitpoints.

If it fails, oh well back to town you go. Especially useful for Guild Wars when you hope you could revive and help your comrades in battle instead of waiting at town.


Spectral Force (Req Lvl 256)

A must-have book that allows you to increase your attack range by 1! Does not matter if youre a map user or a melee attacker, you'd need this to gain a range advantage.

Of cos, it doesnt come cheap. By far the most expensive book in WYD. lol.



Thorn Wall (Req Lvl 256)

Cheapest book in WYD, this book grants you the ability to summon vine walls from the ground. It can sure take a couple of hits and could block roads if you spam them.

Might seem useless but back in SD, it is a useful spell when you do Nightmares as it helps to lure creeps and protect NPCs. nvm if you dont get it lol.



Concentration (Req Lvl 256)

Another must have book together with Spectral Force. This book allows you to have less misses be it if youre using magic or damage.

Huntresses' bane. Bah. :(


Alright enough bout WYD books, off i go to hit my books one more time for tomorrow's last paper!

Enjoy your day guys!

Winners Never Cheat, Cheaters Never Win.

I changed today's posting due to a widespread message by GMs and CMs all around WYD Global. Postings and warnings are pasted all over the CM Community Blog Lair, CM Aruman's and Dhar's Blogs and of cos, the WYD Global Website.


Hackers at work!

It seems that players are using third party programs like "cheat engine" and punishments (not sure if its severe enough) will be put upon them. This brings back some bad memories relating to SD, where hacks and dishonesty plague the lands.

Back in SD, there were all sorts of hacks, i never did experience them myself but i heard rumours bout players being able to shoot through walls, players able to hit you at a long distance (across the screen), people moving super fast exceeding the movement speed of 6 and even hacks that let opponents miss you more.

I once read a comic a long time ago, and i remembered a phrase that i live with, it quotes, "Winners never cheat and cheaters never win." Its not exactly true depending on how you define winners and the word "win".

But the silver lining is still there. Yes, you wont always get caught as it is a tough and tedious job tracking down the hackers. You feel the thrill of escaping death and yet gained something valuable, maybe someone's secret information, for our case, maybe a +11 81 dmg Isis with PD, AD, Exp and DR all together. lol.

But theres greed in everyone, the hacker wont get enough, and thats when he try it again. Tadah this time he gets caught and all his previous work goes to nought. (ban permanently) So dont you get it, hackers never win.


lol.
Bug abusing is as good as cheating, tho it isnt that serious but still, youre abusing something you shouldnt. Back in SD there was a place at SF, where you can hit Kalintz from above in a house, and the Kalintz wont be able to hit you. A very useful bug for hunting, but nevertheless illegal.
---
So guys, remember theres no short cuts to success in everything. Yes there are short cuts, but make sure they are legal and when you take it, you can live with your conscience after. Just like the money cube, total bullsh*t lol.
---
Even in the Olympics or any major sporting events, doping tests and checks are done on athletes to make sure they did not take any drugs to help them break records and win heats.
---
Remember this quote im telling you, might avoid you to do the wrong things and save you from regrets.
---
"Winners never cheat, Cheaters never win."
.
.

---
Wooo 1 paper down, 2 more to go! Can almost smell freedom in the air.

Later peeps! stay tuned alright!

BeastMaster - Choice of Instinct.

Disclaimer: Your Royal Coolness holds no fault if after reading this you or your best mate changed class to the BeastMaster. LOL right.

Today i'm gonna post 1 Screenie to explain my choice of choosing the BeastMaster as my class.

However, i gotta tell you faithful readers that my entries in the next few days might lack in content as i have major exams from 20th to 23rd of August. Wish me luck and hope i breeze thru. (:

This topic is something i wanted to cover earlier on when i made that contest regarding my class and specialty. People often ask me, "Hey Cool, how come you keep using the beastmaster? arent you sick and tired of it?"

Well, like they say. A picture speaks a thousand words, a screenie holds a million pixels. (i added that myself lol) So with this picture i end my entry. Thank you for reading.



Look at the BMs in town! Obvious choice duh. LOL.
Kay guys stick around for tomorrow's entry!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
JUST KIDDING! Which entry of mine consists of only a few paragraphs? lol.
-
Alright, fashion wise, dont you think the BeastMaster's armours looks very cool? IMHO, the E grade Raven set is the coolest and meanest of them all. Look at Seraphic, i mean Meta Elemental parts, make us look so skinny.
-
And look at the helm, looking mightily fierce and manliness ooze from those horns; great for HORN-y people (lol) like me. lol.
-
Okay lemme introduce to you guys the types of BeastMasters and their strengths and weaknesses.
---
The Summoner


Summoners, experts of calling loyal animals during the heat of battle to aid their master. Almost 1 out of 3 players have a summoner of their own i can bet with you that. Reason being, they are one of the BEST if not arguably the BEST character to hunt with.

Summoners dont do the dirty work themselves, they let their minions do it. Wiping blood or goo off your blade? Never. HAHA. They are usually seen holding a shield and a low level Skill Mastery item, eg, Guardian Shield with 30 SM +6 Throwing Axe. They have superb defence and could hunt without the help of a healer if you're good enough.

Stats placed primarily in intelligence will increase the attacks of your summons and perhaps some str (which can be resetted) to wear your armor or weaps. Add in a few hundred of con if you're feeling vulnerable. But 100% intelligence Summoners exist too.


The Elementalist


Elementalists, or elemental BM as they are called are similar in many ways to that of a summoner. They too, use summons to PK and hunt, however their summons will very likely be weaker than that of a summoner's.

Reason being, they are made more for PK and doesn't want to be a waiting duck like a summoner. They want to fight alongside their loyal summons but still behave like a master, they stay further back.

Elementalists have ranged attacks and they are very strong and durable in battle. Not to mention that look f*cking COOOLLLLL with the nice spear and all. not forgetting their 8th skill is AoE (finally ffs) and looks awesome.

Able to hunt, PK, and tank at the same time, jack of all trades, master of none, but totally my style. This was my style in Supreme Destiny.



The Shapeshifter

Shapeshifters or Morphers as they are known, are warriors that are very versatile and could accomodate the battle they face. Before the recent patch, BM Nature was sh*t and suck a$$. Now they are much improved, but only if you use a shield and have last skill (boo not much difference, i use bhopals)

With the new patch, shielders + a throwing weap gain incredible amount of defence! With the 8th skill, you will have AD (absorb damage) options and could even return damage to attackers! (not sure if it really works)

Yes, they too can call on their summons. But their summons are mostly to distract, or to defend the beastmaster from attacks. Condors are useless bird brains and only sh*t around on opponent's head you might say, but they are excellent distractions. Try clicking on a BM who has a bunch of condors hovering around him, most likely you would hit the poor condor instead.

But to those condors, dont worry you died with honour and i love you still. <3

.

.

.

Wait, its not over we still have one last point. Beastmasters have the most resistance! Using werebear or titan will give you huge resistances, if youre using a shield +9 you gain more resistance and finish it off with a White Parade Horse, youre a natural tanker. Now, which other class has more resistance?

.

.

.

Olympics Fever Hits WYD Hard! (Part II)

Never to worry, as my style, i try never to drag my entries into too many parts as i believe in variety. This will be the second and last of Olympics fever. Today's entry gonna be more inspiration and full of food for thoughts, so prepare lotsa penny if you wanna know my thoughts. :P

i will not go through most of the sports later in my Screenies as i really do not follow them much. anything you might wanna share youre absolutely free to comment on it.

Today's entry will have something to do with Life + Death + Olympic Race. You might have read some of it elsewhere but again all these were written by me with my knowledge with 0% of plagiarism i assure you.

Coolio batting away the pingpong ball like a pro! For ONCE.
---
Table Tennis aka Ping Pong
---
As you might had read already, Singapore eventually lost to China but still had the Silver Medal. It was a great achievement for Singapore as this is their 1st medal in 48 years! I watched the match and i gotta concede to the fact that China indeed was too good for us.
---
In fact, the fact that they were such a powerhouse consoled me as it was really a great achievement to be second to a really invincible team. China only managed to win after an hour and some minutes; the longest they took to finish their opponents.
---
Therefore, kudos and congratulations to the table tennis women for doing us proud and putting the Singapore flag on billions of television sets and newspaper all over the world.
---
The Micheal Phelps of WYD in the making! lol.

Swimming

Yes, Micheal Phelps did it. He broke Mark Spitz record and has eight gold in a single game. The Leviathan truly deserved his title of Greatest Olympian of all time as he regained the top position when his teammate lagged behind before him.

Micheal Phelps, fastest man in the water, congratulations to you and the USA. Now, if you're reading this, ure sure youre not from Atlantis or something? :/



Coolio and Dewata doing a synchronise move. Brilliant.

Synchronise Swimming

Guo JingJing, titled by many as the Princess of Diving, swept the Gold award in the events and this could be her last Olympics.

Pole Vaulting


A FrenzyDemonLord attempting to Pole Vault WTF?
---
Shot Put


Coolio shot puts with a Dragon Sphere. Try something heavier weaksauce!

Springboard - Gymastics

Wait Coolio youre still in Titan form you can jump that! -_-''

What a great feeling the winning Atheletes must have felt to be standing at the podium, with billions of eyes gazing on you, and thousands of camera and video lenses focused on you. They truly deserve the attention.

However there was this guy who won Bronze in wrestling or something but he was pissed he was penalised and only could get Bronze and he left his medal on the podium halfway and stomped off in a hurry. Lol wtf joker like cmon remember billions of people looking at you. :/

Coolio on his own makeshift Podium. Lets clap to make him happy. :/

Alright, now for the food for thought part, inspiration was gained from CM Dhar's and CM Nyx's blog entry about a security guard who died during his shift. Another source of inspiration was my girl's grandmother who passed away recently. Makes me feel that Life is so fragile and we should cherish it.

Don't you feel Life is like running in a Race? No, not the 100m dash kinda race but a long distance marathon. We are in a race against time and against ourselves.
---
Friends and relatives and accquaintances pass away and move on are like fellow runners who dropped out of the race. Perhaps due to fatique, heat-stroke or cramps. Yet, we could not stop down completely to cry and mourn for them. Yet we could pause or look back and then continue our race of life.
---
One should never continue looking back, dwelling in the past. Yet we should hold them dearly in our heart and memories and move on with the race.

And when the race finishes, if you did not finish within the top three, you don't have to feel sad or disappointed. Its not winning the race that matters the most, but its the experience you gained when you run the race.

Think about it guys, might make sense to you.

p/s. Thanks dear, for telling me the video has been removed. Sad to say videos posting about Beijing Olympics are removed in a jifty due to copyright laws.

p/p/s. This screenies were not editted majorly, only with some add-ons with Paint (lol i know im noob.) Might do a exploration kinda post soon. stick around!

Olympics Fever Hits WYD Hard! (Part I)

Fret not, this is not gonna be a post suggesting Olympic games in WYD like the rest had done. Its more of a narrative and informative kinda view. Stuff i write are not plagiarised in any way and are instead written by myself with the best of my knowledge. Enjoy! (:
---
Coolio with the Torch of Olympics. lol.
---
Beijing Olympics 2008 took the world by storm and not sparing the cyber community world as well. Members from their country academies cheered and jeered for their compatriots even in game.
---
This year's Olympics has plenty of great sports atheletes to look at, really talented and inspiring. As you already knew, im from Singapore and our stars include Ronald Susilo (Badminton) and Li Jia Wei (Table Tennis aka Ping Pong). The former is out early to our dismay but the latter has assured Singapore a medal at the very least. Li Jia Wei together with Wang Yuegu and Feng Tianwei looks set to bring at least a Silver Medal back.
---
Okay enough about my country's stars. Lets move on to others.
---
I followed Usain Bolt aka the World's Fastest Man in his 100m dash event. The 1.96m Jamaican was an accidental runner for 100m race. His closest rivals on paper include compatriot Asafa Powell and USA's Tyson Gay. Sad to say none of his close rivals matched his pace and dominance and both finished out of the top three.
---
Micheal Phelps was also the World's Fastest Man, but in the water. He looks set to create a new record, over Mark Spitz to be the man to win 8 gold medals in an Olympic game. He is already titled the Greatest Olympian already.
---
So, how can you blame us for being down with Olympics Fever? Singapore is going to get another medal after a long wait of 48 years. Micheal Phelps as at now already equalled Mark Spitz's record. Usain Bolt was a living lightning bolt and smashing his own world record.
---
Wow what a spectacular Olympic Game we have this year. So Coolio got hit with the Olympic Fever as well and starts practicing for all the sporting events for London 1012 lol.
---
Coolio with 1.5k strength can lift the weight with 1 hand? :o
---
Weight Lifting
---
Something tragic happened in the weight lifting competition. 24 year old Janos Baranyai from Hungary dislocated his elbow when he tried to lift a 148kg bar. He was in the squarting position and his right forearm gave way under the pressure. It was his debut at an Olympic Game too; how tragic for him.
---
For a heart-wrenching video of it, click here. But be prepared its not a nice sight. Ouch.
---
Coolio winning the race with Dewata and Rimba eating his dust. :x
---
100m Dash
---
Usain Bolt was an accidental runner of this event as he was actually planned for the 400m and 200m events. With a giant frame of 1.96m he only used 41 strides to cover 100m while an average sprinter needs 45. He broke his own World Record and it now stands at 9.69 seconds. Indeed, he lives up to his name, Usain BOLT.
---
Coolio's fishing skills with a spear helped him with the Javelin lol.
---
Javelin
---
Not a sport i follow, but heck, i saw some pretty hot babes taking part. Think she was Swiss and had her blonde hair tied up. Comment on it if you have any links or photos of her hehehhe.

Coolio passing the baton to... Coolio? omgwtfbbq! lol.

4x100m Relay Race

Again, another event i did not follow. Perhaps cos i was lazy finding the schedule for it. But correct me if im wrong, i think Usain Bolt won the event with his Jamaican teammates? lol. Comment on it if u know more :)

Thats all folks for Part I of the Olympic Fever. At 7:30pm Singapore time (GMT+8) which is 8:30pm ingame time, Singapore's gonna face off with host China for the Gold medal!

Stick around to find out if they succeeded in doing so tomorrow!

Comments are welcome, really, especially if you know more bout the events which i did not know bout. (:

Refering to CM Dhar's and CM Nyx's post about the death of a security guard in the building, my condolences to him. Guys do check out CM Nyx's post as i think she needs some reaction and reflections on something. Check both their blogs at the right column. Thank you.
