SUN online

Hi guys, remember a while back I said I was playing an MMORPG?

Yeah, I was playing SUN online.
Here is the link

You'd probably will be asking me, how about the cabal account.
Well, after completing the level 100 something quest where you eventually have to kill patren, which is rather unfortunate, judging from the fact that you spent the entire game trying to protect him, then save him and it ends off with you killing him. Now, its down to senseless grinding and nation war(which is very boring when you don't have much friends around).

Anyway, I logged in recently to discover that there was a change in the interface.

BEFORE


AFTER


SMEXY GRAPPLER MODE

I would say the newer interface is nicer.
But seriously I kind of bored of it.
Its just mindless grinding. Click monster press '1' for combo and then '2' - '4' to alternate the moves. In addition, since I opened the inventory menu, you can see I don't have much money. A millionaire in an MMORPG is a pauper. Its kind of like hell money. 1 million MMORPG currency can't get you anything. I can't even get my next tier items and there isn't much for me to do except for dungeons which get boring after a while.

Anyway, getting back to SUN online. You can't level up with grinding in this game. Even if you wanted to grind, there is nothing to grind on either. Its rather easy to level up doing quest because they are very generous on the quest exps.

Some of the dungeon quest are very difficult, so you might want to find some friends to do it with you. Try to find people with different class since different class can complement each other. The non-tanker are really weak against a head on conflicts and the tankers are hard to use at low levels, so a certain level of team work is needed.

I've got a level 19 elementalist called noraa.
I kind of stopped playing her because at one point I screwed up her character build.
FYI, you can reset the character 5 times as long as its before level 40.
So, eventually, when I realised her potential, its too late. My other character was level 20 something by then so I focus on the other one instead.
Here is noraa's pic.

Well, I know its not a very good picture, its like her back. Its not like you can see her arse from there.

Anyway, I'm playing a level 42 valkyrie now.
Yes, Kian Wee and Daniel, I'm level 42, so hurry up and train!!!! YOU MAGGOTS!!!!
She's a level 42 valk called hallol. Opposite of LOL LAH...
I know...I should stop giving names that are inverse of other words...but its just so fun. In fact, people think I'm like european, mexican or filipinno. Cool right?


Look she's waving...so sweet, right?
I'm not really into the tom boy type, I kind of prefer the Noraa type, but she rather badass if you notice carefully...since valkyries use big ass bazokaa like arrow shooting, crossbow looking weapons. Its called an ether weapon.



I mean who wouldn't like a girl with a big gun. Well, that sounds a little wrong.
Let me rephrase it...Who wouldn't like a girl with a big gun and was not previously a 'he'. Well, still too insensitive to the transversite community.
Let me rephrase it again...Who wouldn't like a girl with a big gun and doesn't have an adam's apple.

Yeah, girls with big guns are just badass.
Like...Seras Victoria...yeah...you go baby...**fantasize...fantasize**


Alucard: Not bad, Police Girl.
Seras Victoria: I have a name. It's Seras Victoria. Not Police Girl.
Alucard: [smirks] You know that you are now and forever a child of the darkness Police Girl.


I blame my fetish for hot chick with big guns on her...Damn you ultra hot, blood sucking, mini skirt wearing, policelady cosplaying, blondie!!! haha...joking...
If you guys didn't know she is a vampire...There was the time when being a vampire was cool and not emo...goes to show how far has the zombie world fallen since hellsing.
Alucard: They don't make vampires like they used to.

Anyway, kind of thinking about it, Hollal looks like Seras Victoria. Yeah...Seras is a nice name.
Then there is Yoko littner from Gurren Lagann.
Yeah some fan service here.



OH NO...I'm digressing too much...Back to the game.
Yeah...I don't play very much...Last week I only playered 2 or 3 days and each time is about 2-3 hours only and I leveled almost 10 levels.
The dungeons can be very hard, especially when suddenly monster just out of no where.
It hard to take blows these mobs especially when I'm not using a tank. I would say every char has its pros and cons and at some levels, the player will find his/her char very hard to level. This is the point where they try to find people to go dungeons and stuff with them.
For my valkyrie, she is kind of facing some problems levelling as she has to balance between her offensive, summoning and ensuring she can still get better armour. Summoning is good because it allows the valk to have a tank even if they are questing alone. However, the valk cannot completely rely on the tank as sometimes the mobs will attack from behind placing the valk as the target.

The game play is completely keyboard, which for WOW users is quite easy to adapt.
I had some problems initially as cabal controlled movement using mouse. After I got used to it, I think its more fun.

Well, there is a story plot to it, but the role you play is just that of like a normal soldier doing quest and level up...so like how daniel will put it...little involvement.
Its kind of like this...

SGT number 1: "Recruit...since you are a recruit, I give you sai kang...do A B C..."
You:"yes sir..."
After doing sai kang...you return and...
SGT number 1:"Good job...I give you exp...go find SGT number 2..."
And if you completely ignore the plot its something like this...with an occasional random stuff...
Random love sick guy:"hi...can you pass flowers to this girl?"
You:"ok"
you return for some exp.

Seriously...can't you give her the flowers yourself...you pussy.

Now you compare this to cabal, where you are an important char.

Sage number 1: "Ah...it seems you are the legendary warrior from the prophecy... cool...do this quest...go now...time is of the essence"
You:"I see...the stars blah blah blah and I slayered XYZ... they are my friends...I must protect them...its okay I'm there..."

So when you are the legendary warrior, it makes you feel better doing the same work.
Overall, its a nice game...its still rather new...but I can see further development on it...assuming it becomes something like MU online or Archlord.

I guess its enough for today. Another time. I need to sleep.
