PROFESSION: The Dark Knight

Introduction

A Dark Knight’s journey starts off in town of Lorencia. Once proud knights of an order fighting for the protection of its citizens, countless years of strife and struggle has left these knights forsaken and divided as masters of their own. Wandering the lands of MU, dark knights continue render their deadly art of combat to deliver across justice and pain on those deemed for punishment.

The Character

                Dark knight’s main attributes comes from within its vigor and strength, relying on melee weapons such as axes, swords, maces, pikes and spears or the use of shields. The dark knight can dish out huge amounts of damage on a single blow. High in hit points and armor, this allows the dark knight with increased survivability to undertake the game environment alone as compared to other classes.

·         Impale – At level 28, after acquiring the “Orb of Impale”, this skill is only available when the dark knight is mounted on a pet and is using a spear type weapon on hand.

·         Raid Skill – This skill is only available when you are mounted on a “Dinorant”. This is a stronger version of the “Impale” skill and is available on any type of weapon that you may carry.

 “Agility” Dark Knight – Focused on agility, the agility knight usually wields a shield using a one handed sword. This allows increased defense and defense rate in evading attacks done by the opponent.

Used along with self casting abilities and potions, this makes the character ideal to be a “TANK” or “MEAT SHIELD”. 

  

 Promotion

After hard training and completing a series of quests, promotions are available for the dark knight to evolve into a more powerful character. This portrays a new look and the additional set of skills to be used in combat. New items such as armors and weapons are also available.

Death Stab – At level 160, after acquiring the “Orb of Death Stab” you gain one of the most powerful concentration attacks. It hits a single line in front of the dark knight on a range of 2. This is very useful on enemies with huge amounts of HP to drain.

Earth Break or Rageful Blow – At level 170, after acquiring the “Orb of Rageful Blow” you gain another area of effect (AoE) attack. It has greater damage and range compared to the skill “Twisting Slash” but due to the slow cooling time of the skill, it still remains as a solid addition to the dark knights arsenal.

Greater Fortitude – At level 180, after acquiring the “Orb of Greater Fortitude” you gain the ability to maximize your hit points (HP) including the members of your party. The amount of health points is calculated on your vitality and energy points. This skill is very effective for “Vitality Knights”.

Explosion – At level 220, after acquiring the “Orb of Explosion” you gain one of the most useful skill in player versus player (PvP). This skill freeze and slows down your target, left helpless you can spam your attacks to claim victory.  

  

Additional Tips for a Blade Knight

                The”quest for power” is definitely a must for any blade knight to take.  With the help of Marlon (Another NPC) who is found in the town of Devias, follow the quest as he guides you on the things he need. Upon completion this unlocks a new ability using “Combos”. This new form of attack allows the character to use a combination of skills in succession resulting in great effectiveness in terms of damage.

How to use Combination Attacks (Combos)

                Combination attacks are initiated only if you are equipped with a weapon with its basic weapon skill. This also requires a lot of patience and timing in order to perform. Once you have gained the tempo and mastered it, you will find it very handy in any player versus environment (PvE) or PvP situations.

Start off with your weapon skill, followed by any dark knight skill and finish off with any of the dark knight skills which you have not yet used.

Example:

1.       Weapon skill + Twisting Slash + Death Stab

2.       Weapon skill + Death Stab + Rageful Blow

Experiment using some combinations of your own that would suit your taste for blood on your battles

Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles Beta (3D MMO) Part II

After doing some serious game time with Star Legends, I managed to gather this info about its Beta phase. I found out that the level cap is set at level 25 at the moment, its pretty easy to get your level up to 20 but after that it will be tiresome to even reach level 21, it will even take you weeks if your not a hardcore gamer. The purpose of this is probably to give them time to add more features and to slowly incorporate them without, the risks of having many players quit after reaching the level cap. Using the games currency "Platinum" is the only fastest way to level up as you purchase elixirs that boost experience gain. The game has become somewhat boring for me due to constant repetitive actions in trying to level up, still the game is in its early stages of development and has big potential.

Also in my case, the ability to gain free "Platinum" does not seem to work for me, the page doesn't load up.

Here are some of the developers notes about FAQ and the latest game update:

• Updated the Shipment Droid boss for the Cycorp Campaign, to have unique sounds during combat.
• Fixed problems that prevented the Engineer’s “Revive” ability from actually reviving incapacitated team-mates.
• Fixed door that was not opening in Delta-7 level 2.
• Made premium armor sets stashable.
• Following is now spelled correctly in the quest conversations where a reward is selected.
• Play Pocket Legends button found in the Spacetime Nexus should now load up the Pocket Legends page in the Android Market correctly.
• Sound effects for ‘Laugh’ and ‘Cry’ emotes have been added for male / female characters.
• Also added first pass sound effect for the ‘Celebrate’ horn-blast (though visuals are not in just yet).
• Head squips in Miner McGurk’s room no longer will grant xp.

Technical FAQ

Please point a non-mobile web browser to www.starlegends.com

I’m experiencing lag when playing Star Legends, what can I do?

A high ping is indicative of an unstable internet connection. First, try just playing on a 3G connection. If you don't have a problem, and you do with Wifi, try another internet connection (friends house, coffee shop, etc.) to isolate the problem.

We compared devices, ran a few tests, and determined that any one of the following could interrupt your network connection to Star Legends thereby affecting game play:

• Email push enabled

• Push notifications enabled

• Other applications that require network access (eg. internet music streaming)

• Other applications running simultaneously

• Poor network connection

• Incorrectly configured router if playing over Wi-Fi

With 1-4 disabled, there were no lag spikes when playing on the devices that had them previously, 3G or Wi-Fi.

I'm having trouble installing or updating Star Legends on my Android device. What’s wrong?

First, try restarting your device. A clean restart can sometimes be all you need.

Second, make sure you have enough free space on your device to download and update the app.

If the above doesn't work or isn't an issue, then there may be a problem with your Market app or installation on your your SD Card. Try the following:

    * Uninstall Star Legends

    * Unmount your SD Card

    * Clear your Marketplace cache and data in your applications manager

    * Install Star Legends

    * Remount the SD Card

    * Then move Star Legends back to the SD Card (if you want)

Some devices fail to install large apps directly to SD Card.

Alternatively

Find the .android_secure directory on the sdcard and remove the ‘smdl2tmp1.asec’ file. You can either do this by mounting the sdcard on a computer, or with a file manager app

Star Legends crashes on my Android Device

First, restart your device. If that doesn't help, try clearing your Star Legends data in your Applications Manager. If that doesn’t help you should reinstall.

• Uninstall Star Legends

• Clearing your Marketplace cache and data in your Applications Manager

• Download and install the Star Legends app.

When I try to login I get a message telling me my password is wrong, but I checked and it’s right. What should I do?

We have found, in most cases, this is due to Android users not hitting enter/done after entering their information. Instead they use the close keyboard button by mistake.

How do I add another player to my friends?

When you add a friend they have to accept the request from the Requests tab of the Friend Menu. This request can take a few moments to show up in some cases.

Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles Beta (3D MMO)

After the great success of Pocket Legends on the Android MMO scene, Spacetime Studios has kept itself moving forward with the release of "Star Legends: The Black Star Chronicles" on its Beta phase. The game takes place in a fantasy Sci-Fi world while retaining the same aspect of game play with its counterpart. The new look gives freshness to the title, along with new set of characters and skills to play with. It also boasts  better game engine performance and optimization. I was expecting similar problems with its counterpart, when the game boots me back into the home screen when things get pretty nasty in game (getting mobbed) but, it didn't happen after long hours of play. I have spent more than 20 hours with the game now, no crashes or sudden disconnects which makes play time pretty solid if your a hardcore RPG gamer.The game controls work perfect, keeping you with all guns blazing. The downside is that the story line  is poor and somewhat optional for you to take the time to comprehend. Sometimes I do not take time to read quests since its pretty obvious you'll come about it when your playing the game. I'll keep things posted as I dig on this game deeper.

Plants VS Zombies

Finally after a long wait, Plants Vs Zombies for the android has been released. This fun filled tower defense game has transformed itself into one of favorite classics of all time since its original release. Honestly the game just came out too late on the Android platform. A year back when I got my 1st ever Android phone I immediately sought after this game and was sad to know that it was not available yet. Ipad had the 1st glimpse of the game and I didn't expect it would take this long to arrive here.  It would have been great at that time with its rising popularity. Nevertheless, for all of those who just happen to have heard of the game but never tried, I suggest you do in order not to miss out as time goes by to reminisce on this addictive game. Enjoy the excitement as your cute innocent plants defend your garden off against waves and waves of ugly, hilarious looking,  mad zombies. You can download the game on Amazons APP store. If you would like to learn the basics feel free to watch the tutorial video below.
