Shin arrived and we had dinner. We talked about the game and the interview that was shown yesterday talked about what class we should get to make the team. suddenly Cael called and told us there are some updates done on the Komunidad website. Cael immediately shared the link and it showed some images that are blacked out.
I guess they're trying to put out some information so people won't be too confused. I then looked and tried to see what information we could get from this.
first one is an image of a cycle of a sword and a shield, a bow and arrow, last is a wizard's hat.
Second is a table written down the usual characteristics of MMO games, with a number 3 on top of it.
3
Strength
Constitution
Dexterity
Perception
Intelligence
Will Power
beside is a table with 9 colored boxes.
Black
Gray
White
Green
Yellow
Orange
Red
Purple

There are also six icons that show different weapons.
Sword and Shield
Longsword

dagger
Bow
Crossbow
Throwing Knife
Staff
Wand
Talisman
Last is a window that has 3 tabs in it. At last! they fucking showed some information! I went to the forums to check what these are but it didn't bring me anywhere. there are some good theory's what they are but most of it is garbage. "What do you think about these?" Shin started the conversation. "I think they are the basics of the game, the first thing we all know is the stats, those are basics but I don't know what number "3" is. If it follows the standard concept of games,
Strength is melee damage and ability to lift certain obstacles
Dexterity is range damage and attack speed
Intelligence is magic damage and mana
Constitution increases the health of the character and resistance to certain ailments.
Perception relates to traps, hidden doors or environment awareness
Willpower could mean mental defense or ability to keep on casting while getting damaged.
I guess the weapons are those six weapons, pointing at them, sword and shield, 2-hand weapon, dagger, bow, crossbow, throwing knives, staff, wand, and Talisman. that's a lot of types for a game. I have an idea on the colored table, they might be the quality of monster/equipment. The rest I really don't have a damn clue. What the cycle is and the window with 3 empty tabs."
Shin "I see, I guess 20+ years of experience gaming helps eh?"
Isaiah: "F*** off! but the rest I still can't figure it out, are those classes? " so there's only 3 class?"
Cael: "Could be, that would round things out, melee, range, and magic?"
Shin: "Damn Cael you really are my nephew! you might be right on that. I remember a game We played before that have the same gameplay as that, melee > range > magic> melee, it completes the cycle and makes nobody damn invincible except for me."
I guess what my son said made sense. I looked at him and noticed I got a huge grin on my face. now it all relates, I still have no clue what the tabs are but it still is a big leap than trying to do a beta run for 3 hrs with no freaking clue at all. we kept discussing with each other what we would do in the beta test, Basic Controls, skill activation, stats, team composition, communication, and exploits. we finished our discussion when suddenly my wife called us to show us the mobile app for the game.
Issa: "Hey look, I got the app for the game already and it has a trial version on Friday as well." she looked at me and smiled then continued to talk "I already know that you boys will be busy in-game so I'll check the app. ask Linus as well to check the app since he might not be able to play the whole 3 hours."
Boom! that's my wife for you! We all went to sleep after I messaged Linus about the app and he said he'll look into it.
Friday arrived and time for the Trial period. The app trial started early and Issa showed me what's in it, a huge selection of old and new mobile games. You name it and they have it, board games, action games, even some kids game! She showed me that when she opened the app, it showed multiple professions like blacksmithing, tailoring, fishing, accounting, and medicine. and when you chose a profession it would show certain mobile games in it. I immediately thought that's weird. but oh well I won't be doing those so it's fine. I just told her to see what else she could figure out and if she wants to try the in-game for some time so she won't be surprised when the actual game starts.
I went to sent a text to the group to remind that the trial would start soon, I then put on the gaming helmet closed my eyes and then the trial start.
