Yeah, taming is pretty difficult. I just managed to get a leader pixie after about 2 hours just before the servers booted me.

Doesn't strike my fancy, though I actually like the SMT universe. Hm.

The dungeon mechanic needs some revamping. I hate going through 2 levels, getting to the boss, then getting disconnected. Poof goes the bronze plate, and the boss as well, of course. Argh.

Imagine the same thing happening with an expensive or a rare plate. And after 7 levels, not 2. o_O

no thats what I mean, eventually those things will be handled, mainly they seem to be testing how to reduce the lag hence the time to time disconnect

I've only been through the one tutorial dungeon, I hope its not all... Big room > hallway> bigger room> hallway> room with locked door > small room with key > boss.
...rooms being big squares and hallways, well... hallways. Copy and paste is what im getting at. Bland. ...you get it.

Talk to the woman in front of the big green... terminal thing in the middle of Home III. She'll handle item and demon depositories and help you figure out how clans work.

However, it should be noted that for the most part, storage isn't free. You can hold 50 items for no charge, but for more (and if you wish to store demons) you need to rent boxes, which doesn't seem to be available at the point I'm at (Act 3, but I wanna reach level 15 before moving on). Once unlocked you pay for 30, 60, or 90-day tickets for use of the storage boxes, and after that you have to either clean them out or purchase another set.

She can sell you what is needed to create a clan, but it costs 20,000 Mecca to make one, and since I have the strong suspicion this is just the "beginner" area of the game (like a lot of MMORPGS have) I'm not sure if it's worth the investment right now for any of us... Though if one of you makes one I'll still gladly join.

In other news I don't really experience random disconnects, but then again I play really, really late at night...

So what have you guys decided to train in?

For now I'm focusing on guns and destructive magic with knives as a backup. I'm hoping to be a sort of "jack of all trades, master of none" by the time I finish, but for now it seems I'm working best as a gunner and spellcaster (though not sure if I'm going to train past the most basic healing spell... From what I'm seeing that's about all I need to make a lot of friends really fast as long as I can make each cast count XP).

WEll, You guys probably did play other shin megami games? Apparently, Copypasta Dungeons is part of the, ahem, charm.

Often without a map. Or with doors that teleport You back to beginning of the labyrinth.
Or invisible-wall-labyrinths. Or traps that catapult You to rooms with doors that teleport You back to the beginning... You get the picture.
Also, random encounters every 5 seconds.

That's their Idea of fun ;)

Btw, focusing on destructive magic only atm, though I'll probably add some curse & bless spells to the mix, especially since they net me passive int and mana upgrades.
That is, assuming I'm gonna play that game past lvl 12, which I'm at atm.

Edit: Ingame name is "Hirudinea", maybe I'll catch You by chance XD

I played the originals, and I find that this game breaks a lot of the habits the older games had. Though granted, I'm still early on and the only dungeons I've run into were thus far all randomly generated, but so far it looks like things are a lot more improved from what I didn't like about the originals. I just dont know how well it plays compared to other MMOs, as the only other one I played was Fusion Fall, which is in a totally different ballgame from most other MMORPGs...

There's always people like that regardless of what genre we're talking about.

Anyways, let me know if you guys make a clan or party or something, 'cause I'm not doing much right now...

EDIT: Also, I just found out even clothing has limited durability... However, I'm halfway to level 13 right now and they aren't even halfway done, so in theory it's not that big a deal...

its 80k to make a clan base in Shinjuki Babel and from there you can go in three directions. Right now I have a spot I can go to harvest old world stuff that sell for 500 per item. I could go for the Home 3 since its closer but havent been to other areas yet so I cant just make a clan yet.
