Let's Fly for Fun in the Philippines

A old world with some new twist.

Flyff and its Bugs

No, I don't mean the insects and monsters that crawl in flyff. Rather, the may glitches, I've noticed since I began playing again.

One. Monster that are glitches by themselves. 

No, I don't buy premium tickets yet. I play like a poor person. I prefer to use only a portion of my hard earned cash on stuff like my football shoes and equipments. But nevertheless, I buy premiums items for upgrading of equipments in-game. 

Like a poor person, I grind in the old fashion way. Flaris-SaintMorn-Darken areas and mobs. There are few enough as it is but when one mob refuses to disappear and reappear it becomes a problem. I killed one mob in Darken when I returned I saw it still lying there. One less mob to kill, one less experience points to give. Sad but true.

Two. Flying in Flyff

Funny enough, the game called Fly For Fun (FlyFF) is a place where nobody seems to be flying. I've only seen probably 10 characters flying in the whole time I was playing. That's considering that there are only 3 servers left (two non-pk server and one pk server). And the reason why?

Flying-moving-jumping has bugs. The players IG call it teleporting. I call it bug. It sucks! I was totally into the grinding when I jumped only to see that the character jumped three times before it reached the ground. It is the same when flying. A simple turn, and you would be back several feet (assuming that we can actually measure distance inside) back.

Three. Hits and Misses.

We get misses. Yes, it happens inside the game and more so when you are dealing with a character with less DEX than normal. But it's practically impossible for a continued miss when you are a yoyo acrobat with DEX equips to boot. 

I hope that players report this. It's nothing to worry about but, it would make the game less tedious to play and more fun. And the pain is because you actually lack in equipment rather than glitches in the system.

A New Beginning

FLYFF V19 Philippines

I started to play flyff at V6 I think. I recentlt began again upon the new acquisition of an awesome laptop very much capacble of running two windows (and probably more) of the game. 

I was happy again. But unlike last time, the population in the game have decreased. Everybody seems to have migrated to Facebook as their form of pseudo-social life. While, my brother and I were more or less comfortable with our own standing in the real world. We have more than enough capital in-game (IG) and social capital outside.

Now, to begin.

I decided to start with a new character. It seemed that Flyff Ph had deleted all my stock IG currency (Penya)  so I had no other option but to level up and get the penya the old fashion way. Buying was the next option but since this would take a lot of time outside of the game, and it would be extra effort on my part to look for the players, I decided against it. 

I stopped at playing at V12. So, Flyff had place some quest that I haven't had the chance to do. But it promised Penya and experience points that are invaluable to my beginner level gaming. There have been many blogs telling you how to level quickly. I find that the pain of the grinding is so much more enjoyable (at least for myself). 

So I made a decision to start with an acrobat. It was still painful. It took me one week to get to my first job quest that people might have told me off about leveling and that I know nothing about level simply because I was slow. 

At level 15, the first job quest. I finished Reonan (NPC) quest which gave me a bounded Syanto Set which has already been upgraded to +3. Since there was no decent market place now, and you can't find the people who has the things you need like the rare yoyos/armor and jewels for your character. I used whatever piece of yoyo I could find from the monster drops. It was not the same damage as the rare yoyos but it was better than nothing.

My feeling is that Tumblr primarily encourages clean and beautiful pictures of landscapes and architecture — those featured tag streams are gorgeous, but to me can feel fantastical and sometimes even monotonous. Perhaps that’s a conscious decision made by those tag editors, I’m not sure. But reality exists: landscapes that are filthy, unfriendly, and/or altered by humans in repulsive ways. To me, photographs of these alternative landscapes are worthwhile because they remind us that our conceptual and collective romanticism of nature is a dream. A dream that should be not just lusted after on a computer screen and in our minds, but one that should be sought out by correcting our past and current mistakes as best we can in the physical world.

In other words, let’s create less goddamn trash.
