Mein Kampf

So we're back to the mud-slinging pvp sessions where incense accusations are abound and egos are flaring up. Dirty rumors are spreading and they tend to get around fast. Apparently people seem to think I'm trying to start up some new Chaos-movement in order to blow Law out of the water... also see: The Third Reich of Megaten.

People of Chaos, your new Führer and Reichskanzler:
Roydolf Hitler


Photobucket

I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Law, I am fighting for the work of Chaos. Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live. A man does not die for something which he himself does not believe in. Chaos should not become a constable of public opinion, but must dominate it. It must not become a servant of the masses, but their master! Chaos will either be a world power or will not be at all.

Ok, in all seriousness I can't keep that up. People, Megaten is just a game. I'm not deliberately trying to beef up Chaos to have some "unholy reign" over Law. I think some are taking this whole alignment crap too seriously. Not once have we claimed Destiny to be the "best clan in pvp" (aka 'pulling a Lucis'), nor will we ever. Both alignments are filled with good players. To say that Destiny is holding Chaos' hand is the most absurd thing I've ever heard in my life... because the people who are saying such nonsense are the ones who jumped on the Law bandwagon to begin with.

And on the incense topic: if you ever feel like anyone from Destiny or myself are on any form of incense (protection, magic, speed, whatever), please let us know so we can stay after the match. I (and I'm sure the other members of the clan) will happily show you my damage output as well as my damage taken on both forms of incense upon your request. The only time in recent history I have incensed was 3 nights ago when a certain Regal Enhancer was taking a constant succession of 1 damage from every form of attack; melee, long-range and magic. I fail to see how "it's ok for a Regal Enhancer to incense but Destiny are cheaters when they incense back." It's sad that we're forced to live in a cash shop environment where no one trusts anyone because it exists.

Oh, and to the failed level 76 Melee (you who know you are) who swears "Royce is nothing without his pulses and his anti-demon," I'm sorry that I've worked hard on my character. Perhaps instead of QQing about it and hoping that other people win the game for you, maybe you should go finish your character? No player is invincible, and I've never said that I am myself, but you make some pretty ballsy claims for someone who doesn't even have a full set of soul stones and tarots.

tl;dr-- PvP is srs biznez, but some are taking this waaaay too seriously.

Operation: Burnt Pancakes

It's become quite common knowledge that diablopanqueque publicly displayed his lack of faith in our most beloved Finella. Now as you all know, without Finella's dedication to sharing a plethora of information from the client files and her pro fan-translating, there's several of us who wouldn't be where we are today.

Upon my daily browse of her website I found this post by Anna:
Photobucket

So here's your call to arms, Megaten: Burn the Pancake. Provide links/screens of his stupidity, flame him for his ignorance, do whatever it takes. Hell I think he's trying to get the Nyarlothotep plugin still, if anyone can screen themselves kill-stealing his spawns and the lulz that are sure to follow, you'll be an hero for life.

(This post will be updated with any installments in Pancake-flames, so feel free to comment with photo links or forum posts)

Without further adiou--

Reasons Why Diablo Fails Wins:

Look at his clan thread
for starters. As I've stated before, it looks more like a 14-year old's MySpace page rather than a clan thread with all the Persona/SMT pictures he's posted that have literally zero relevance to IMAGINE. However this makes the clan uber win because anime and Persona r0x0rz.

Sheeps For The Slaughter

The clan has a High Intake/Hight Kickout policy... which creates numerous posts in the clan thread of people wondering why they've been excommunicated after having been offline for only a few days. Meanwhile, you have others living in fear and pleading to be spared from the ban-hammer. Also, under the requirements to be a Submaster:

  • "-Quota: You are responsible for recruiting at least one member a day to the clan. And that's not really a hard thing to do. Just be sure to invite only active and social members. Level is unimportant. Why? Because only the strong will survive in Yosuga. They'll level up eventually and we'll make sure they can survive in such a world. "
Is this why your clan has been around since April and just hit level 8 this month? Only the strong survive! Recruit a noob a day and then kick them the second they haven't been online in a week. Real Life is clearly less important than Yosuga.

Pimp Yo' Clan Leader Event
  • "RAWR! The PYCL event returns due to popular demand. New to PYCL? Then let me spin it for ya real quick yo! There is a rare item amongst the Megaten Community that I wish to find to support and help make our clan standout as one of the top clans! This PYCL's hot commodity item is the sexy "Frost Suit." Now ask yourself this....wouldn't you want your clan leader to be a Jack Frost? I thought so! The suit costs 30 mil and that's where I need your help guys :D Everyday, I slave over plasmas to farm money for this suit but it would go by a lot quicker (and help seal the deal faster from wannabe buyers) if you guys helped donate to the cause. This is optional of course and I don't expect you guys too participate if you don't want to. But in return, I will exchange donation money for YP! 100 macca = 1 YP The Top Donater will recieve an ADDITIONAL 10K YP! So farm hard guys!"
...because having this failure magnificient genius run around in a Frost Suit is going to make the clan instantly awesome! Now, you might be wondering "What the hell is a YP?" Well, YP stands for "Yosuga Points," which are his very own clan-based currency. You'll absolutely luuurve what you can purchase with these points. Please take note of the durability. Notice how most items are derp-gears that he's clearly used and can't sell? You should be thankful to even be allowed to touch gears owned by the great diablopanqueque! Sure, it'd be much easier to purchase these things from other players in-game. But wouldn't you rather donate money to your cheapskate glorious leader for his PYCL Event to get your shitty YP to purchase gears he doesn't use anymore? The best items are the Phlegethon and Poseidon's Spear, but both are 81+ requirements... the only two people in the entire clan who are even past 80 are diablo himself and RhemIruka (who's failed at ragequitting 2 times already). Rest assured, you won't level up in Yosuga, so find your own parties to do your acts and level up! This method of hands-off training and clan growth is pivotal to the success of Yosuga.

Wealth of Knowledge

The diablopanqueque you see on the forums daily is a cheap bastard who tries to swindle deals
an entrepreneur based on his own view of how economics work. He states that Heavenly Snow is not in demand, yet he's clearly trying to purchase one... which instantly bumps said item into an in-demand status. By this logic I should just wait for a day where there's an Abyss Cloak up for sale and no one is listed as currently trying to purchase one... then offer 750k because clearly no one wants it... hell I'd be doing them a favor, right?

He's also a smug know-it-all asshole an Ichi Gold professional. Apparently soloing as a gunner isn't an accomplishment in his eyes, so don't even think about trying it. I mean, anyone with half a brain knows that Holy Charm is fail, and you need a Yatagarasu Crystal to even consider fighting all the Cu Chulainns and Hayagrivas that Jiko spawns with him... Gyuki just won't cut it! Perhaps in order to appease this god amongst us mere mortals, you'd be better off wasting your time farming to donate to his kawaii Frostie outfit \(^-^

At least this whole thing is one big joke, right :D?

Guess you stealth-edited your clan thread for lolz too then?

Changes~

So after a break from the game, I'm finally back. For some reason I can't leave Megaten forever, so when I'm bored I change something. After a little more than one week of fun donations, I'm finally chaos again, and with that comes new outfit, new crystals, new demons and new PvP partners. And wasn't too hard to make that decision since the Law side of PvP is now mainly based on a bunch of ass-lickers sponsors4life (i.e. Law side losing, QQ, goes to Rain SB for more QQ, and pray to see Pearz and friends on next match). Of course, not everyone in Law side is like that. The only thing I can say is: Get your own strenght, work for your stuff and feel the true accomplishment feeling.

Talking about accomplishment, I finally got a new useful and gorgeous outfit, so bye-bye Red Riders(lolfinally). Also, since I can't use Scathach anymore, I made a new Skadi with mainly Ice skills, because she is the winter goddess on norse mythology, and she have Force boost on our game, but can't learn Sonic Boom. Thanks again Cave for your amazing work. Oh, and when I was with Ardal teaching Megidolaon to one of her fusions using the giant Tarrasque on docks(who the fack teach almighty with Tarrasque?lolz), the moron dropped the Twins SS(like Ardal said already on a post, but I don't care <3).

And since some people keep asking me how much fun is lvl90, that is my opinion:
T> Jack Frost Cards and DCMs for Balms of Life, and I promise to NOT use it on PvP.

LOOOOOL

So like, I had 100ap, decided to charge 500. Olol, 2 tries :< Man this thing is so gay :D

Solo Enhancers: The Helen Keller Story

Lately there's been a trend going around the server that I don't quite understand... the fascination with solo enhancers and how they're supposed to be inspirational. Now, let me say this isn't some great accomplishment... soloing with a demon is VERY easy. A couple months back I did an Ichi Gold run for pure lulz that consisted of me only enhancing my Loki, just because I said he was beefed up enough to take on the dungeon alone with myself enhancing him. We got some laughs out of it, called it a day. By no means am I claiming to have started the idea of soloing with a demon (I'm well aware I'm not the first to have done it), I'm merely stating it's more than feasible.

Anyway, it all started at the end of August, when Sharte posted this thread about her experience soloing Ichi Gold as an enhancer... and I'm sure some of you out there just subconsciously went "Awwww" in your mind, but allow me to give a running commentary of the run:

Demons used:
  • Cerberus
    • Level 4x Beast, focusing on physical attack and spins (mainly fire spin). Has Tiwas of Assiah growth.
  • Accomplished Unicorn
    • Level 4x Holy Beast, focusing on support and prolonged battle. Has Ansuz of Assiah growth.
Ok, right off the bat there's something wrong here... if your demon is your main source of damage output, you should be using a demon with Torrent of Magic and at the very least Vamp Cyclone, Fog Breath, Poison Gas Breath, or hell... Magic Shot.
Also, I'm not sure who started this movement where Accomplished Unicorn is some amazing demon you can use from the time you're level 21 until end-game, but it's extremely common here on the Aeria server. I guess it's the same reason you see people using level 60+ Blizzard Jacks and Inferno Pyros... people don't understand how demon fusion works.

Now, this is the part that slays me the most:

Elevator Hallway

I mount on this hall for safety. I have no theory I can try to beat Nightmare Specters if they pop out X_X

Photobucket
I suppose this is another difference between the JP server and the US server. Enhancers are weak to Erosion Hex and can be instantly killed Σ(゚Д゚ ). Use a mount to avoid this grave danger (^-^

No theory? None at all? By all means, please go here and find out... or hell, let me do the work for you. Your initial skill bar and Cerberus were more than enough to deal with the "impending threat" that was ahead of you.
Photobucket
Nightmare Specters are easily killed by your Cerberus' elemental spins, while the Nightmare Chatterskulls are easily stopped by Estoma (FYI- the Specters are too) and weak to magic-element, making Erosion Hex another viable solution. How you're level 72 with no Thoth, Lilim or Gorgon is completely beyond my understanding.

Not much else to comment on here really. It's hard to call any form of solo run "successful" if you end up dying though. The thread ended up being needlessly bumped every day full of praise on congrats, and still continues to be necro'd by other enhancers "inspired" by her story, that really is made out to look more like an all day affair.

Shortly after this, Zaphiel posted this thread about a level 25 soloing Ichi Gold. I'm not sure what he was trying to prove here. Based on the videos he posted (part one and part two), all I see proven is that a level 25 can solo Ichi Gold... if their main character is level 80+ with a demon they've rebirthed multiple times, a demon depository, Regal class 4 and access to roughly $10 of AP heals they can spam repeatedly. And no, I'm not saying incense is ZOMGZ CHEATERRR, because yes, most high levels (including myself) DO use incense when speedrunning Ichi Gold. Also want to point out that no level 25 would have an Aegis at their disposal. Show me one level 25 on the server that actually knows what they're doing and don't have Medical Sciences/Summon/Taunt turned on. I will give Zaphiel credit though, this was a fairly creative idea.

Finally, there's LoveGuardian... I was around level 80 when I met this guy... he was level 42 and QQing how his Eligor couldn't learn Sonic Boom. Powerleveled his way to the top via sponsoring, ended up copying the Regal Enhancer build that Citrine/lnstinct/Indicative/cody` all used (because he's so original)... and makes it a point to let everyone know in every post he makes on the forums how high his heals are, how he has Regal 4, or how he solos 4 kings regularly. Just yesterday I managed to screen this on the forums (and the main reason I made this post):
Photobucket
ANYWAY, now that his ego has been established (lol enhancer ego), he posted this thread with links to his solo videos for normal Ichi Gold and a 4 Kings Solo (part one and part two). Now, you'll notice from the first 5 seconds of the videos there's something utterly wrong about them even being claimed as solo runs... vel0s is playing "camera man" because LG's computer apparently sucks too hard. vel0s is more than likely feeding LG's stats via party bonuses. This way you're also unable to see if the Ose is on any kind of fragrances. vel0s also uses his Hresvelgr to fend off some Gakis...

Also, for someone who supposedly solos 4 Kings regularly, what's wrong with this picture?
Photobucket
If you claim to solo something on a regular basis you tend to know the demon's weaknesses.

The camera also doesn't lie:
Photobucket
Gratz on the sweet death! \(^-^

I guess the whole purpose of this post is that Enhancers with ego are hilarious. It's the only class where you can fail miserably and still be praised for your "achievements," kinda like winning the Special Olympics. If any other class posted a video where they died they'd be laughed at and ostracized. It's hard to listen to someone brag on about how they don't die when they clearly do... even with their o-so-seekrit Regal builds. You don't need Regal to be a good PvP Enhancer either... allow me to point to Ardal. Clicking a toggle to reduce your damage taken as an Enhancer is like wearing adult diapers because you're too lazy to shit in the toilet.

I rest my case.

An Update? No Way!

It's been awhile since any of us updated, so guess it's time one of us finally did it. I'd been editing the same entry over and over for 3 weeks, so I finally just deleted the whole thing and started fresh... so there's no "Top 10 Things I Hate About Our Server", nor "Why FOXHOUND Fails" (though I still want to share this gem of a screenshot), just a general overall update.

FINALLY hit level 92 last night. I ended up gaining 19% in one night, which in itself makes me feel like I was just really lazy for the first 81% that took almost 2 months to gain. 93 is going to be my Everest for sure; from what I hear it's around 100+ hours of grinding... but we'll see about that. On the flip-side of things, it's really sad hitting level 92 before the Lilith plugin is released. That was my main drive for hitting 92 in the first place... oh well. Guess it's time to make a Vetala with all the skills I want and let it rot in my depository for 6 months.

PvP has been rather annoying as of late. Chaos has lost essentially 90% of it's decent players because everyone likes to jump on the bandwagon, or they've all quit and gone on to other games. The most annoying part is beyond Pearz (who has semi-retired) there isn't a single player who knows how to fight one on one; Law consists of tons of wolfpack groups who consider 2+ on 1 to be "fair odds." I still think the regal enhancer build is one of the more annoying builds in PvP, because about 2/3rds of the time a 2 on 1 with a regal enhancer is just bad. I've been trying to breed more decent chaos players, but that's not something that just happens overnight. Another extremely annoying thing that's been going on lately are the incense accusations on me from other players. Now, I won't bore you to tears with mathematics, but Tanarin posted a damage calculation using my stats, and I'll reference that for proof that I don't use magic incense. FYI- I do around 1.2k with Bufudyne/Mabufudyne with a virtue/angel setup + spell hex. Also, here is my PvP Loki:
Photobucket
I have every conceivable Anti-Skill on the server with the excepetion of Anti-Death (and there's no way I'm leveling a Thoth to 92...). Factor in things like my Pulse of the Armored, Quetzalcoatl Soul Stone, the elemental extras, and Water Bearer, and you'll understand why I have such high resistances. tl;dr- I didn't put this much effort into boosting my offense/defense just to have idiot noobs raging I'm on steroids. I'm sorry you don't understand how Spell Hex and Anti-Skills work. You can always go play Maple Story.

Also, I'd like to point out something that really annoys me: lazy high level players. Looking through the Bazaar Forums I came across the following posts by Force and Baiace. Now mind you, both of these players are more than capable of leveling the demons for this, much less hitting 90 DCMs is not that hard. I did it myself in 2 days. Pallas Athena took 4 days to level with casual grinding. Apparently sitting in Babel at the fountain is the main reason to play this game for some people.

Only things I really want at this point are Chiaki and Phlogiston. Phlog should come out this month for sure (if it's a promo I'll ragequit), and Chiaki will probably be a ridiculous top-spender item. We'll see how things pan out.
