Alcarcalimo, the Palus Knight

I just had to post this this morning, as of today 12:34 AM, Alcarcalimo is now a Palus Knight:

Alcarcalimo the Phallus...I mean...the Palus Knight

What does this mean for me and Alcarcalimo? I guess now, I'll be able to wear my D-class armor. Unfortunately I couldn't afford one yet, so I'm stuck with my old pre-Palus Knight armor. I thought the Shadow weapons were great. Although the fun just lasted 90 minutes; it was a good thing that I wasn't in the heat of battle in a far away place when my sword turned to dust.

I need to grind some more and get the proper weapons and armor for Alcarcalimo.

Promo extension and why I haven't been posting lately

Yes, why the heck was I not posting since the Kamael Update? Well, guys I 've been grinding like all the rest of you. I'm also making sure that I use the Forever in Ether (FIE) promo to its hilt.

Talking about the FIE promo, a lot of players requested that it be extended to one more week because of the following:

• Their Kamael still hasn't leveled-up enough yet. The whole race might be decimated by the other races once the FIE promo closes.
• Critical Errors and sudden shutdowns have really bogged down the game. I personally experienced this a lot for the last three days and it really did not help with my playing experience at all. Although I've been using Alcarcalimo (my Dark Elf) since April 15, I'm still below Level 20 because of all these errors I'm getting.

Lo and behold AMDG listened to us players and has extended the promo up until May 6! See details here!

Thanks to AMDG! See you online!

Lineage II: the Kamael Collector’s Edition Box Review

Collector's Edition boxes target freaks.

So here I am, gleefully giving away the remaining money I have to buy the Lineage II: the Kamael Collector’s Edition box. Some of you may be wondering if it's worth it. Well, to help the undecided, I've done a review of the boxed set for you guys.

First off, please accept my apologies for the really grainy, greeny pictures: my mobile phone sucks. Here's the box about to be ripped to shreds:

It's thin and light (like a Kamael, heheh). The print is detailed and clear. The back of the box provides info that iPlay Asia should've posted on the site; believe me when I say they would've convinced more people to buy the set, if they did.

Now let's open the darned thing!

On the left is the "exclusive" Kamael Guide, on top is the installer, and on the right is the Time Card and Doggie Tags. Let's deal with them one by one.

The doggie tag looks well made. It's light and shiny, but if you're no Kamael user, you might not want to wear this. The Time Card is made of PVC with an image of a Kamael; it feels like a credit card. Both are nice.

The "exclusive" guide is what I'm most disappointed in. The print was sub standard, the information was already in the website. well, we ARE a year late with this game, so I understand completely. They could've made this guide look better instead of this pamphlet I'm holding now.

The installer! Here's a screen shot of what you'll expect when you load it:

I'm not sure about those who downloaded the installer, if they got to see the same thing, but it's got a lot of goodies in it such as wallpapers, 3 videos. I wonder if anyone can copy the background music from this DVD.

Well, those are my thoughts regarding this boxed set. In my point of view, it is worth it.

What about you?

The Grind Tip #2: Mucking Around with Macros

Macros in Lineage 2 are rarely discussed in the net, yet they can tremendously help in Player vs. Environment (PvE) situations and in some Player vs. Player (PvP) ones as well.

When you google: Macro Lineage 2, 85% point to Bots, Cheats, Bugs, RMT, and all that filth. It's a cool thing though that iPlay Asia Community Portal has an article on it. I was also able to get a video from youtube on how to do a macro:

Remember my Grind Tip #1 regarding using the Hot Key slots? Well, I plan to make it even easier (yeah, I know freaking lazy) by incorporating all of it under one macro. So last night until today, I kept on experimenting differnt macros before I went outside to test it on some orcs.

Alcarcalimo: Confused

I wanted the following to happen in the following order using just ONE HOTKEY:

1. Equip my bow
2. Shoot my target with a Power Shot
3. Shoot with a normal bow shot
4. Equip both my shield and sword
5. Attack my opponent
6. Attack my opponent
7. Attack with Power Strike
8. Attack my opponent
9. Attack my opponent

When I tried this out in the field I kept on un-equipping my bow. So I decided that I'll walk around with no weapon equipped. When I focus on a target then I use my hotkey macro and do my dirty work.

So far, it's succeeding. I'll post more combo macros as soon as I get them.

Lineage 2 SEA Newsletter?

Forgive me for my ignorance folks, but I didn't know that Lineage 2 SEA had a newsletter.

I had to dig this up in this news article. According to the cover it's April 2008 Issue 1, so this would be the premiere issue. Was there an announcement? They could've been able to get more response from the Lineage 2 SEA community if they did. I hope they can provide us with more information in the May issue.

Do they have more pages or info than a Kamael Update-related promo? I honestly did not even know this promo existed. Is this part of a particular quest? I read here from the old forums that it was discontinued. Will they go ahead with this once the Kamael's out and about on April 22 or is this dead in the water?

Forgot to mention this one.

AMDG has a promo in relation with the Kamael Update. It's basically a raffle where you stand to win quite a lot of cool IRL and in-game items.


The prize depends on when you opened an account.

If you started playing on or after April 1, you can win these uber cool prizes:

One (1) winner of a Gaming PC worth Php 50,000.00 and Full D-grade armor set (in game items.)

Consolation Prizes:

Five (5) winners of one (1) Demonic Circlet in-game items.

I'm all for the Gaming PC. Lord, knows I need a new one.

For the vets or those who have been playing the game before April 1, they can win the following prizes:

Journeyman's Legacy Prizes:
1st Prize- One (1) winner of an A-grade in-game weapon of the player’s choice and a gaming mouse worth Php 3,000.00

I'm freaking lucky I started on April 15. Although, personally, the vets should also have a chance to win the PC. This will make it fair for everyone else.

What do you guys think?
