Episode IV.....AT LAST!!!

Well at last and after lots of anticipation Episode IV is here xD In fact it was launched in a very suitable time killing all the rumors about WYD global closing and stuff, people were actually afraid that WYD global would die the way SD MY did, but luckily Episode IV came to get rid of such rumors for good, in fact Episode IV is supposed to be a big patch which balances the classes and insert some higher item upgrades and lotsa new stuff, anyway Episode IV had some MAJOR updated that everyone is talking about from the noobest mortals to the highest lvl players, we shall review those one by one in here ;)

1. Mana control becomes mana shield

Well news of that one before the launch of the patch sure made a bang as everyone amazingly agreed one one point....black mages are screwed!! That caused many people to seal the blk foemas and try to sell 'em, anyway when Episode IV arrived I realized that the skill description was wrong =.= In fact mana shield didn't really add def but it gave AD property ;) The damage you receive takes a small part of your HP and the rest is deduced from your mana, which means that mana almost counts in your HP as well, try hitting a pure int blk mage and you'll understand what I mean, you need to be super pro magic attacker to cause like 1k dmg on them lol, as for battle and blood mages I guess the AD is way more more better than the 1 or 2k max hp theu received, also this caused lots of blk mages to lower their int and add some in con which decreased their formidably high MAP into something more reasonable, so as for me I guess mana control was a wise call ya. Anyway not all people agree on this, especially blk mages as this will cause them to lower their int and therefore lowering their attk as well into a more reasonable value ( I mean 32k :S?! )

2. Major alteration in hunter skills

Well those updates were AWESOME, too bad I had sold my lvl 40 cele HT before the patch ;( if not I would have kept it for sure cuz hunter now kicks a$$!! Survival and capture especially are so cool, dun really like trade now @@ Anyway those modifications put the hunter back in the game as a respective class as before the patch it was really left out and considered weak, also that dex now adds some dmg makes dex built hunters work, well done xD

3. Armors, accessories upgrades

Spirit stones can be upgraded even more and can have stats like reisitance and critical, I guess that should keep players busy for some time ;) Also earrings can now be upgraded till +11 @@ that should open the way to higher HPs especially as many people actually use HP earrings, can't wait to get mine to +10 ( + 11 so hard as you can't use lucky powders T.T ) as for the new armor stats from boxes I am totally against that, this means that people who had perfect sets and made em as far as +11 would now have to get newer sets =.= I would be really pissed if I was one of those people, anyway the addition of those 28/63 mortal weps in boxes can make players way more powerful and we can have more imbued stuff so I guess the weapons thing is nice xD Anyway they should make 32/72 weps more droppable so hunting would have a meaning lol

4. 8th Skill Price Change

Mortals 5 mils, god class 10 mils, celestials and soul 50 mils...that's what am talkin' about!! I mean how was a mortal supposed to save up 50 mils to pay for his 8th skill :S now all mortals can enjoy playing and getting their 8th, I believe that is one of the coolest updates in the new patch xD

They also gave us a NPC so we can reset points for 2 oris if we need two, anyway this will only be lastin for a week so you better huste if you wanna change something lolz

As for me I do LIKE what Episode IV came up with.Anyway, we hope to see this game getting better and better xD

If they can't fix it..then it's not broken!!

Hello once again WYDIANS, today I am speaking about community scouts...in fact I dun really have much to say, I just want to let you guys know that we are here to help xD If you ever need help with anything try to find a CS as helping you guys and easing your game experience is our job ^^ You guys need to know that we can't give any items ;( so asking for them is kind of a waste of time, anyway if you have questions or suggestions find us and we will do our best to make sure it reaches the CMs and the GMs

That is about it for now, later peeps ^^

Keep Him In Ur Pocket ;)

Yah I mean CM Dhar :P As yall know CM Dhar loves us so much that he felt in-game interaction and emails aren't enough so he added the...Plurk thingy!! Actualy at first I didn't know what this plurk was, but as a community scout I needed to do it because we ehh..we had to!! LOL!! Seriously, by signing up at Plurk you can directly contact CMs!! Live chat, actually the are available there most of the time, CM Dhar said he even checks it from his mobile phone!!! So it's CM Dhar with you everywhere, all the time ;) For being honest, this application will seem weird and akward for you at the begining, but the great assistance it provides is unquestionable as I am able to reach Cm Dhar almost anytime...beleive me email is a no match for this, so all what you have to do is go to Plurk, sign up for an account which roughly takes like 20 secs, then add CMs there to ur friends and have 'em in your pocket ;)

They Are Here Baby!!

That's right folks, the scouts are in the house :P This means direct live in-game help and an insurance that your suggestions are to be heard ;) I'd like to take a moment to congratulate the scouts who passed the training period and gained the title "Community Scout" it was a really long and exhausting testing period so I bet all the people who passed are so happy ^^ hard luck for those who didn't make it.....


Anyway since we haven't received our special accounts yet we are still operating from our normal chars, but instead of CS TRAINEE tag msg we will have a Community Scout tab msg ;) most of the time they are to be found on all servers so when you need one I'm sure that you will be able to find one ;) as for not receiving our accounts yet I guess yall need to go spam CM Dhar :P Yall also need to check out the forum which miraculously turned from a dead abandoned forum to a very busy and active forum, whenever you log in there is always new, go check it out. Also if you want a direct live contact with CM Dhar you should add him at the "Plurk thingy"!! For those of you who dunno what the "Plurk Thingy" is I tell you it's like the robot thingy!! If you dunno what the robot thingy is I can tell you that this Plurk enables you to directly chat with CM Dhar, I guess I will be writing about the "Plurk thingy" tomorrow I guess, until then take care and have fun yall..

~Peace Out..

They Are Comin' Baby!!

The community scouts are on their way homy :P Today is the last day of training and the official scout list shall soon be revealed, this means that all freshman can get direct live support at all servers, well I ain't the biggest MMORPG expert out there but I haven't heard of any other MMORPG which has such huge customer support, I mean we have GM in their 24/7 Q & A system, we have CMs, operators and now we have community scouts...the point is whenever u have a problem you will find someone you can talk to either in-game or through the Q & A system..


Well basically I dun really know what to blog about!! I mean I have many things to write about if this was journal event but I dunno exactly what to blog regarding the choosing of Community scouts @@!!! I thought about making guiding guides for newbies but as I said before this blog is up for months already so I have tons of guides and much more on my blog already, you should be checking guides that were written in August, they are the first articles from the bottom up of the list, you need to check 'em out as they will prove how useful they are. Anyway, since I am supposed to write something fresh today I am going to tell yall about community scouts........


Basically those people with CS TRAINEE tag over their heads and who the future community scouts will be chosen from, so if you see one you need to know a few things...like they can't give you god packs or money or laks or waters or any other items, they do their best to answer your questions, guide you and support you as much as they can, so if you need anything approach them and ask your question and they will be more than happy to answer it.


Some bad thing I noticed today from a high lvl cele player ( won't mention his name ) to one of the trainees ( won't mention his name either!! ) was this....that player ( whose lvl is higher than 120 ) approaches the CS, make fun of him and ask him some stuff like how to unlock lvl 120 cele =.='!! The trainee told him to wait for a second until he gets the info for him, that player told him "dun tell me to wait, if you dunno then why are u a CS" then he kept telling him how sucky he was, then he laughed at him and went away, the point is this guy already knows the answer of this question and he also knows that the trainee haven't done lvl 120 unlock before ( how many ppl in-game did =.= ) and that he will need some time to get the required information so he basically tries to embarrass him. He probably thinks that this is funny, although it's rude he thinks it's funny, the point isn't that he asked how to unlock lvl 120 celestial but is that he didn't even wanna wait for a minute till he can answer him, he did this for embarrassing the trainee only. That trainee might not be important for a celestial whose lvl is more than 120 but for many other people it's important and helpful so scaring them off isn't a good idea, those are human beings as well and they are here to help you so try to be nice. As for me I have never encountered such thing as all players who approached me were kind and polite and helping them was a source of joy for me, anyway this is my last blog post as a trainee, wether I pass the test or not I will probably talk to you guys again in journal event ;) so good luck and take care xD

CS In The Making ^^

Wzzup peeps :P.......have to admit it.....long time no see ^^

Anyway today I won't be blogging as a part of WYDIANS journal event...as today I am blogging as a part of my Community Scout training which qualifies me to be a community scout ;)

As you all know I have always been eager to change this community to the better, trying to do this through blogging ( and Dr. Wicked section!!! :P ) was good but simply not enough, today I am applying for a position which will give me some authority and formality to make me able of making a more direct change to the community ^^ It's the difference between the good Samaritan and the police officer if I might say :P

Anyway I'd rather cut through the long, boring and unnecessary introduction as I have already blogged here for more than two month so this blog is already full and alive xD

So basically if you are a WYDIAN this blog is for you, here you can read about anything related to WYD, since this blog is already up and running for some time you will find lotsa fun stuff to read ^^ If you are new here and dunno what WYD is I can tell you that it is what you want!! It's a place where you can play, chat, make friends and much more, a game with a live community, dedicated work team and never the same...always have new events and weekly updated so playing and fun here are unlimited....if you are a game-lover ( especially online games and MMORPGs ) then you need to check out my first encounter with WYD as I think most gamers are looking for the same things in a game :P

That's it fo today, talk to you guys tomorrow ;)
