Flyff: Fly For Fun

[Slater]

Most of us are on Aibatt

I don't think v8 will be all that bad. The only thing it's really changing is that you're capped at like... 12 buffs (meaning you can have no more than 12 things cast on you at a time).

That's not so bad... I mean, how many Blades need Mental Sign? Or Rangers need Beefup?

The only class really getting nerfed by that is BRMs... but, let's face it...

Battle Ringmasters

Anyhow, what really steams me about V8 are the changes to the PK system... There were rumors before that there would be no more PK server and that PKing could be done on all channels, in all places without permission to duel... and, well, that's what's going on in the beta of EFlyFF V8. Couple that with the fact that we can delevel again by going below 0% exp... well, I love the game, but if that's the way things are going to end up, I quit.

Another thing that I don't like is that you can KS anyone at any time, no questions asked. Some of the beta testers guess that this is a bug, but it might not be a bug in reality. As a Ranger, I have to put up with enough KS worries, any added problems are just going to make it that much more stressful.

Probably won't happen. I'm not sure if you know/remember, but back in like, v5, if you went to Kebaras Island, PKing was legal there, and if you went to jail as a purple name, it was pretty much impossible for you to leave. Since this caused such a commotion, and since people were physically STUCK in Kebaras because of other PKers killing them the moment they left the safe zone, I doubt this will happen.

Lol, I have no problems whatsoever. The fact of the matter is, there is no respect left amongst players. Aoers and 1v1ers are both greedy in their own rights, but really though, 1v1ers create less of a problem than aoers do.

[Slater]

The question still remains... why would they bring full-servercluster PKing back in the Beta if they weren't planning on bringing it to the real full V8?

And it's not greed that I have a problem with. Whenever I train my Ranger, I try to find the least-crowded area, and then I tell any 1v1 people in the area that they are free to take a mob from me if I take too many. Thing with Rangers is that the idiot BJs running around get jealous because they didn't stick the difficult path from Acro to Ranger and then they drop an Arrow Rain right in the middle of it all. It may sound silly, but I swear it happens like every time I go to train at mushpoies.

Has V8 taken effect yet? I played recently, and the game didn't seem different at all to me (except that the text looks a little different)

I may need to start playing again, since I've had a sufficient break from the game. I have the most fun just playing as my assist and helping lower level people.

[everdred12a]

Nope, still no v8. The GM's said not to expect v8 anytime soon. Then again, the GM's on fly generally suck, so there's no telling when that could get started. And to be honest, I don't think we should knock v8 until we've tried it. People complained to no end when v7 came out, and everything turned out okay.

[Felix]

I'm not knocking it =P And you'd probably suck too if you were a GM. They have a lot to keep up with.

Anyway, It tried playing today, but it was lagging so bad that I died twice >.< I'll try later.

[everdred12a]

Heh... you haven't seen the recent state of things on fly, so I understand why you'd be sticking up for the GM's.

But yeah, lag's been bad lately. They need to restart the servers.

[Felix]

Ah, so that's what it is. I thought it was my computer.

Recent state of things? I've been playing, and it seems fine to me. 'cept for the lag, maybe.

[Slater]

This just in: A GM sent out official notices in game that V8 is canceled. Still awaiting a News post as to why...

No offense... but pics or didn't happen. I've heard lots of in-game GM announcements like that, and they don't tend to be true. I remember hearing from Xagel that v7 wouldnt' come for months... we got it two or three weeks later, lol. Don't believe everything you hear; the GM's like to lie.

[Slater]

It did happen, I was there.



Not doctored, of course, tho I didn't take that screenie. If you still don't believe me...

Hi im hoping a gm could reply to this. I was wondering when pretell flyff v8 will come out.


Thanks and have a niice day

It's not.

You all can quote me.
Due to the feedback we received from players on the 8th version, we will be skipping 8th version and going straight to the 9th version.

Our 9th version will likely not be like the other versions, so please do not make comparisons with what you may see on other versions of Flyff.

Expect V9 within the next couple of months.

Thanks!

>^,,^<

ripped directly from the forum, and Ceilidhs is like... high-ranking EFlyFF official. Not to mention that multiple GMs released similar statements on all 6 servers all at once... I think it's 99.9% safe to say that this isn't a prank.

Too bad... I was waiting for the day when my Ranger could stop "reloading" his refresher action slot button...

Tho who knows what "V9" means...

[Felix]

Hopefully V9 will throw everyone for a loop. ^_^ I love it when people who think they know all about the game get something new and confusing thrown at them. Plus, maybe I'll get to reskill again like I did in v7 or whichever version changed up the skill system.

[everdred12a]

As per Felix's request, the 105 RM set:


Also, I have mixed feelings about v8 not coming out... I kinda wanted it to, but I kinda didn't, but I think we're better off now that it's not. Thanks Slater. I believe the email, but alot of the stuff GM's say in-game is just them joking.

[Felix]

Hot banana, that's cool! o.o I personally think you should wear that around instead of the sailor suit...

Go Aibatt!
(lol I'm on youtube)

[everdred12a]

Lol... that video sucked. Seeker really needs to learn to make a video. It's kinda cool Lynne finally hit 120, I've been watching her since like... 112 or so.

[Felix]

120 levels... that's pretty cool.

If I was level 120, I would probably feel so pathetic. I would look back and be like "Wow, I wasted that much time of my life getting here, and it means absolutely nothing." That would be depressing. o.o

Well, more power to her, anyway. It must have been incredibly tiresome to get there.

[everdred12a]

Yeah, Lynne's been grinding a long time... I saw her alot just out at pops solo aoeing. Honestly though, I don't think I woulda gone past 115.

[Felix]

The highest set is at 120, right? Is there anyone higher than that level?

[Slater]

There used to be (GMs only), but not any more. It is impossible to go above 120.

Lynne says that now she will use her RM for PvP stuff, and that her next priority is to make a high-level Psy.

[Felix]

Oh okay, that's interesting. Do you know if there are still plans to make another continent and a third job tier?

[Slater]

There is no news yet. Since V9 will be a step away from KFlyFF, it could be soon... but don't hold your breath, eh?

[everdred12a]

Oh okay, that's interesting. Do you know if there are still plans to make another continent and a third job tier?

Actually, the new island and third job tier are things they're thinking about for v10, if I remember correct. v9 was SUPPOSED to implement airship battles, but it's hard to say what will happen there. It'd be a great new penya sink, since airships are supposed to cost something like 100mil (Yes, 100mil, from an NPC). Although, my guess would be that since we're jumping straight from v8 to v9, we'll be seeing a watered down version of v9. Most likely, we'll be seeing v8 implements such as the plastic surgeon and new hair NPC's, the 140 level cap, and a slightly revamped variant on our PvP system... I believe they'll still be keeping a few things from the cancelled v8 PK system, such as the loss of karma while aiding those with negative karma as well as new implements such as aerial combat. I can't really think of too many new and groundbreaking things they could add though, aside from airship battle. That is, of course, unless they DO add the new island, which I doubt will happen. We may also see higher arena titles, as well as 'deeper' karma levels (Black-named karma = DO WANT).

[Slater]

higher arena titles... lol, why? There's noone in EFlyFF who's reached the highest tiers of PVP ranks yet.

[everdred12a]

higher arena titles... lol, why? There's noone in EFlyFF who's reached the highest tiers of PVP ranks yet.

...Yes there are. I know a few of them o.o The problem is, eFlyff doesn't go very high. For instance, the highest acro title is Phoenix, and I've seen that. The highest Merc is War Dancer, seen it. Highest assist is Chaplain, seen it. The assist titles go on into some REALLY awesome ones, though... soon as I'm able, I wanna get Minamo the arena title of Adventum.

[Slater]

Huh... they said that the highest for Acro is Bearcat and stuff (100,000,000 points)

[everdred12a]

Yeah... but not in eFlyff.

[Felix]

... What's eFlyff? <.<

[Slater]

English FlyFF. (actually, American... There's also EuFlyFF now)
