The One About Jelly in a Pocket

Well... this entry should actually be more like The One About The Long Awaited Barracks Management System.

But since one of our GMs, Jelly, has recently become exceptionally close friends with Mr. Pocket and we have been teasing her mercilessly about their 'special friendship', this blog entry is dedicated to Jelly & Mr Pocket. After all, it was Mr Pocket who shared this bit of exciting news with her - that kGE recently launched the barracks management function which you guys have been bugging us endlessly for! We will likely get in V4.0. We have almost completed localization for V3.5.14 and planning to launch it in October 2009. After that, we will be starting work on V4.0.

Not to digress too much, here's a sneak peek from Mr Pocket's barracks!

The window highlighted in red allows you to call for a window, whereby you can select your teams! ‘Colony War Team’? ‘Team Arena Team’? ‘PvP Team’? Or even a ‘Kids Team’ are all at the click of your mouse.

ALT+T allows you to trigger this lil' pop-up window:

The first button lets you select the relevant customized teams while the second button, either lets you delete the team or clear the field below it -> not too sure about this one, something might have gotten misunderstood during the Kor-nglish conversation between the Pocket Jelly.

The second button in the highlighted red box allows you to arrange your characters; it means ‘Move to other location’ in the barracks.

The first button triggers a pop-up window that shows you the equipment that selected character is wearing!

Cool huh?

To end this blog entry on a childish note,

JELLY AND POCKET SITTING IN A TREE, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

Bwahahah!!!

The One About 'From IMC to You' Episode 1

First of, here's wishing Desanggria's Granado Espada Blog a Happy 2 Year Anniversary! Thanks for being so passionate about GE and for writing so many interesting blog entries. :)

We've been sending some of your feedback and suggestions gathered from the feedback forum and tickets about Granado Espada to IMC regularly. Our faithful liaison over at IMC is a really nice and humorous guy - someone whom we endearingly call Mr. Pocket. He very kindly responded to some of these feedback. I felt that his insights were really valuable and would like to share with you guys some of their responses.

Disclaimer: The following is tentative and is accurate at this point in time. Thus, please do not take this as the gospel truth that will never change over time or due to unforseen circumstances.

Suggestion: A cash shop item to reset stance skill points.

This is already developed. It will be added in V3.5.

Suggestion: Allow rearrangement of characters in Barracks.

This item is one of the 'most wanted' stuff across all the various GE versions. However, since it isn't an extremely critical factor that affects game play itself, this development has been postponed till a later time. Someday this patch will be applied!

Suggestion: A small window to see characters' equipped items in Barracks.

Yes, we're making this feature.

Suggestion: Higher spawn rate of monsters for Bahamas Ancient Territory.

The spawn rate is dependent on the number of players in that map. Currently, the spawn rate per player is already high. Anyway, in V3.5 you’ll have a brand new upper-grade Ancient Territory called "Chaos Requiem of the Heavens". There are really, really lots of monsters there, and even huge EXP card rewards from the pioneer monument! You'll like it!

Suggestion: Players want to allow their skill bar to be made customizable so that they can set the skills they want and also have different items to use.

This is extremely hard to program because of the complex nature of the GE system. But we will try to make it, so someday it will be applied.

Suggestion: The Key of Truth-A key that mystically fits on all locks,doors and boxes.

There’s really lots of stuff that must be “unlocked”. We can’t make that type of MacGyver Key.

(ROFL!!! I LMAO when I read that MacGyver part. Mr Pocket and his wicked sense of humor!)

Suggestion: A server-time clock

I’ll discuss about them with the rest of the IMC staff and let you know if there will be any further developments on this.

* * *

That's all for now. If you would like to make further suggestions, you may do so at this thread.

Drop me a comment and let me know if you guys enjoy this type of blog entry and I'll continue this as a permanent fixture as a 'From IMC to You' type of blog series.
