Castle Age – More Reinforcements, Ivory City, Alpha Mephistopheles – 18-July-2010
572 days agoLevel: 250 Date: 18-July-2010 Mood: Wass-up!
How are all of you? It has been a rather busy week for me, for both my work and my other life (if you don’t know what I am talking about, it’s Castle Age). My workload in the office has increase like three fold and my boss is constantly breathing down my neck, but of course, my pay has not increased one bit and I think my head is going to explode soon. Anyway, there have been some new additions in Castle Age, first of which is the new reinforcement which like the previous reinforcement thingy, they give you rewards for getting more “army” members. Mine was instant because I had gained more “army” members previously than was necessary for the rewards.
Yes, but too bad there isn’t an hero to claim. I am guessing that the developers of Castle Age do not want to have too many free generals available or the demand for favor points might reduce and they can’t get money from players wanting more favor points. It makes good business sense not to saturate stuff which their cash cow brings.
Yes, the rewards are not impressive but these set of items and weapons could be for a new upcoming hero. Hopefully.
But this Solar Desolation is quite okay. Not the best magic, but quite good nevertheless. And it is free. Not much effort is needed on our part to get it either. Just add more “army” members and you are done. The trick is just to post in the Castle Age forums your profile and you get numerous requests to join their armies. Fun.
Next we have this Ivory City quests. Basically you will have to complete all these quests and summon some powerful monster, same as last time. Only difference now is that you will have to spend loads of money and enormous amount of time and effort to complete like 12 quests. The previous Azriel (Kingdom of Heaven) quests need just 10. Those older ones need like 4 out of 5 quests completed. The developers really hate us or think that we have too much time in our hands.
Aaaawwwwwwhhhhh……it’s a bigger, meaner and uglier Mephistopheles! In Castle Age, they call it Alpha Mephistopheles.
Summon Alpha Mephistopheles! I think I won’t be doing this anytime soon. I still have even started on the Kingdom of Heaven quests yet. Been too busy fighting monsters and trying to level up fast.
Ugly brute. Look at the numerous weapons that can be launched at him. And he still has about one quarter life remaining. Nasty. Sure, those 1000 level players make this so easy but seriously, once the normal players start fighting Alpha Mephistopheles, it won’t be as easy as that. Just like Azriel nowadays. You see so many failures. Even the Alpha Bahamut, I am starting to see a trend of failures happening more and more often. The developers need to slow down the number of monsters available or this might get too frustrating for players soon.
Some interesting loot but might not worth the effort. And stop giving us Gladiators! We hate those buggers.
Okay enough of the new features, we now go back to the rewards! We just love (loot) rewards don’t we? Kind of like Christmas, where you eagerly await the opening of presents. I must admit, I enjoy that part too. So without further ado, we shall begin!

I am no tagger! But this died on me rather fast. Don’t hate me. Anyway, I didn’t get much loot from this either.

Well, this is the reason why I didn’t fight much monsters this week. All my stamina and energy have been spent on this silly little Azriel. Tough little angel to bring down. I got 3 epic loots which is quite nice and others. Might be a while till I get the Blood Zealot though. And hey, one favor point! Wuhahahaha!

I wanted this to be a speed kill. It went down in under 30 minutes but I got nothing, not even a medal for my efforts. I had to spend US$10 for 60 favor points and just look at the loot! Crappy as well. This is very disappointing for me. I normally don’t spend money to play this kind of games but I wanted a little thrill. Over 4.6 million in damages and defense and nothing to show for. Not even one favor point back. I think I will go and cry now.
Okay guys, this is the end of this update. Hope that you guys understand that this is just a game and we should not take it too seriously. You will regret it. Bye!
