Sharing Your Gaming Life With Your Love Life

Since the dawn of MMORPG, it has been a perennial problem for couples to enjoy each other's company. Before, one only has to compete with a partner's family or friends when it comes to spending time. Now, gaming time has been included into the mix and has caused more problems than anyone outside the gaming life could ever imagine.

Before I proceed, I have to admit that I honestly do not know why I suddenly have this idea of telling you people how to enjoy gaming and the company of your girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband when I myself have lost my girlfriend to some guy he met through playing an online game. But fret not, for I will also give you the pros and cons of such a set-up.

Let's continue.

There was once a saying that went "DotA: Breaking Relationships" (Defense of The Ancients is one of the popular games in the local gaming scene since its release in the market) because most guys would forget picking up their girlfriends after school or always being late for a date whenever they are completely engrossed into playing. Fortunately, some brilliant guys figured they can just teach their girlfriends how to play the game and turn their former solely gaming life into a dual-purpose activity: personal recreation and a date.

I have dug up a video on how guys can turn their girlfriends into gamers but the tips enumerated herein are also applicable to girls who want to make gamers out of their men:



Now, for the pros:

1. You are now united in a single "world".
2. You get to spend time with each other by playing together, either by having him/her beside you (game consoles) or in each other's house (online gaming).
3. You get to know each other.
4. You have fun together.

The cons:

1. Like my story, there is a risk of having him/her be flirted with by a random online person. This won't be a problem if he/she is loyal to you. Otherwise, note that you have been warned.
2. There is a possibility for either one of you to be completely focused on individual gaming. Remember that it is still a "partner activity". It wouldn't hurt your score or EXP if you talk to each other while playing.

People in a relationship are supposed to bridge the gap to help each other grow and learn. They should lessen the division and distinction between "his activities" and "her activities". Instead, create an atmosphere that will make both of them feel that they can simply crash into whatever you're doing because they want to know and understand why you're having so much fun with it.

And gaming is no exception.

Cabal Blader: STR or DEX?

Cabal Bladers have been dubbed as dual purpose killing machines, having the ability to both be good in PVP as well as PVE. This means that they can withstand one on one combat against other players and at the same time go head to head with mobs in dungeons and maps.

With this in mind, several players have created a myth about Bladers concerning stat distribution. It has already been a practice in Cabal that a Blader who prefers PVP should invest in a higher Str for higher attack and defense while one who enjoys killing mobs is to have a higher Dex for higher defense rate.

Throughout my gaming experience as a Cabal Blader, I have spent millions of alz (Cabal's in-game currency) buying extract potions as per advice of my friends and guildmates to "fix" my character's statistics. I have changed back and forth from being a so-called Dex-type to Str-type for countless times.

On my personal experience, I have proven that there is no difference whether you have a higher Dex or a higher Str.

First, take note of this Stat Distribution Variablity Table:



Based on the table, you can easily notice and realize that the attribute given is the same whatever statistic distribution you prefer. However, this will not be applicable for a Blader who, for whatever reason, actually decides to invest on Int (please DO NOT ever do this if you are a Blader).

As per the case of wearing an armor set against a martial set, it is best that one merely meets the requirement for the set.

As an example, here are my current stats at Level 144:

Str: 520
Int: 64
Dex: 550

With those stats, I can wear both the armor set and martial set (although I still need 3 stat points for my Int to use a +7 mithril blade or katana). It is also more than enough to withstand mobs and win PVPs. Obviously, it is because Str and Dex give the same attribute whichever way you put them.

Misconceptions are created by players themselves. Therefore, only players can clear them up and perhaps break a few myths surrounding the game.

A Comparison of Philippine Gaming Companies

These are only rough estimates but they still say a lot regarding the competition in the Philippine gaming industry.

Cabal To Release New Dungeon Map

As per GM Boom's post in Plurk, Cabal Ph will be opening the Forbidden Island Dungeon on April 14.

The dungeon's requirement for entry is for your character level to be 125 or higher. Regarding the entry item, GM Boom has not yet confirmed whether it is the Unknown Item that has been constantly popping up when players open Edeza's Lamp.

This is something for all Cabalists to watch out for!

Rohan: First-Hand Experience

I had a good-enough PC to get me the opportunity to be one of the few Filipino gamers to participate in the Close Beta Testing of Rohan Online, released under LevelUp Games.

It took me to the edge of my seat!

I chose to be a Dekan, due to its dark profile and mysterious aura. Dekans are swift and have skills similar to those of a Cabal Blader, but with more oomph to keep you wanting to get your character stronger.

First-timers might be surprised to see other players named "Dekan" or "Dhan". It is because only characters in Peace Mode can see other players' names. This also means that you cannot see a character's name when he is in Attack mode, even if you are in Peace Mode. This gives players enough confidence when they want to PK you (since Rohan is PK-based).

The game is not overrated - it has very meticulous graphics with scenic backgrounds and realistic environment that will completely remind you of Lord of the Rings (especially when I was battling those Drhyses because they looked like Ents). Characters are equipped with interesting skills with action-packed graphics that will make you feel like you are the one executing those attacks.

And I didn't even have an audio card to begin with - which means the action will make your heart pound even without any sound or music accompanying your gaming.

The only downside to this game is the only irritating bug I encountered - the mobs disappear if you are in a crowded map. Because of this, your character gets attacked by aggressive monsters and you'll end up dead without even knowing why. I thought it was just because of lag but after checking my internet connection speed, I confirmed it was a bug.

Rohan Online Open Beta begins this April.

Highstreet 5: worth spending money on?

Highstreet 5 is a casual online dance RPG that allows players to customize the physical attributes of an avatar and show off cool dance moves in street party locations such as a school, alley, and even in a subway.

Any Highstreet 5 player will easily notice how much time and effort EagleGames is putting for their game to beat every other casual online game available in the market.

In the Philippines, with E-Games' Audition Dance Battle as its biggest - and probably only - competition, EagleGames came up with a perfectly clever solution. They increased their IRL cash to in-game cash conversion, therefore even if you top up your account with only 100PHP, your account receives 1040 Points, thus allowing you to shop for more in-game items. Compared to Audition's equal conversion (100PHP will get you 100 Points as well), Highstreet 5's tactic gives players an equal chance to avail of items fit for a student's budget.

Another noteworthy strategy is that they sell Highstreet 5's in-game cash items at incredibly lower prices compared to that of Audition. For instance, one can purchase a suit (a clothing set consisting of a top, pants or skirt, shoes, and/or accessories such as a cap or glasses) for only 450 Points which by conversion will only cost you less than 50PHP, while the same set for the same price is worth 450PHP in Audition. What's even better is that for an item to be "forever" (the item will not disappear from your inventory, termed "indefinite" in Audition) yours, you simply triple its basic price and presto, your favorite outfit is yours until you decide to delete your account.

To keep the profit coming, there are monthly events for players to participate in, all focused on rewarding players who top up their accounts most within a certain period of time. The impressive part here is that the rewards they give are yours, oh yes, forever. They also happen to be items that you cannot purchase at the in-game mall or online store - you really have to spend and top up your account if you want them to be yours.

Of course not everyone wants to spend for an online game, right? But in Highstreet 5, every Point you spend in the in-game mall is converted into a point for your Family (or guild). The more points your Family gets from your Point-spending spree, the higher your Family level. Example, once your Family total reaches 10,000 Points, your Family becomes a Level 2 guild, therefore enabling your Family to invite more members and appoint more officers. It also adds to the prestige of having not only high level players who can easily kick anybody's ass but a guild that can buy their way to fashion as well.
