Catnapped?

[FizzyElf]

So I logged in to check if the picturesque life event was missing for me (it is) and I got a notification in my mail box saying it was Susan's birthday so I figured I would quickly read through it and like all the other birthday messages their is an attached gif. Who gave Susan, Rita and Durandal's cat? she is one of the least ideal pet sitters out of the valks and the cat knows and is abusing it to steal cookies and likely other stuff, why would Rita and Duran trust Susan, a valk they barely even know, with their cat instead of just pawning it off to Theresa or hell even leave it with the geek squad (Tesla, Einstein and their associates as they are friends with and have known them for a while)?, they would probably engineer some cool cat toys while you are on vacation as a bonus, maybe even a new mecha variant that can watch the cat. Was Susan gifted the cat after becoming and valk and helping Rita out on earth while the main 3 were up in space/on the moon along with Durandal?

Oh yeah, there's an anime about the game too: (Full season on Youtube)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHMmuF6m7B4&list=PL5hyq5XNTeD5CLnbQxs5un2yxoqgHuD5N

you might want to watch that an learn a bit or two before dipping into it.

The early 2000's vibe is strong with this one I'll look into it, I got a place I can get access to the series.

Oh yeah, rewatch the anime and that reminds me, if you want to change your appearance in the game, you need to find a player that have the saloon skill. Of course they charge for the job done, barbers are a proper job in the game. And if you see flies flying around your character, you are dirty and smelly, you either go get a shampoo wash from a barber (some newbie barber do this for free to raise their skill) or you can jump into the water and swim for awhile, you will be "clean" after that.

I am guessing you can't cheat the system by being a player with saloon and barber skills and using them to maintain your character on your own. I would assume there is also some form of deficit for other jobs as well like a blacksmith making a sword for themselves and thus are punished by not receiving any XP/skill related points or financial reward for the task.

Oh yeah, since you are going solo, there's a few recommended skills to take.

Gun/Cannon, is super strong in solo fight, but also super costly due to the ammo cost is just grrrr.... if you go gunner, you might want to have an alt character doing smith+miner that can craft the ammos for your gunner. Though you can pay other players for it too, but it's costly and not fit for a beginner, even for end game player it's still painfully costly imo...

Archery require real aiming so it can be skill based. But if you are good at FPS archer you are good to go on this one as well.

The next to take will be EITHER Tamer or Summoner skill, the difference between them is Summoner is more on the mage side and the summoned monsters have fixed level. While tamer you tame monster of various levels and you get to level these monsters up higher, but there's a risk of perma-death in the monster you train, so most tamer also take the healer skill, while summoner don't need that and go mage style in battle. There's also the Necromancer route for summoners...

If you don't want to get any of these skills, be aware that you can buy trained pets from tamers. Though there's a penalty for that, any monster higher than.. errr... 30? will lost exp and gradually lost level if your character don't have tame skill and they will eventually fall back to lv30, ofcourse you can always buy a new one after that... most pure healer type players do this and use them as bodyguards or training partners.

well these are fighter class, the crafter class are fun imo... and there's the harvester class too.. You just need to take the skill that will benefit the "route" or "dream job" you plan to become...

for example. if you want to be "Ninja", there's the bunshin (clone) skill from shadow skill(?) and there's the jump skill, and ofcourse to take the jump skill you will need to also take the "fall damage reduce" skill... else everytime you jump you will fall down with hp lost...

there are certain skills that let you fly in this game too.. temporary and not long but enough to get you trough large craters and gaps that other players can't get over (there's rare chests and stuffs for those you can get across)...

There is.... an active skill of "self wash" but it is set deep in the saloon level (lv 20?), so either way you need to be high enough in barber skill to be able to use that skill... no one will want to spend 20 points just to be able to wash their own head...

for blacksmith and swordsman, just use 2 characters.

Okay smaaall problem. I can't find the game, like at all, the closest I am finding is this playlist of BGM's for Master of Epic the Resonance Age Universe: https://youtu.be/SxHg9MIO6y8?list=PLdHlG9pmm4gscIL_bqFE0h9JcNlHinN88 which I am fairly certain is not it and even then there is no gameplay coming up and on google at best I am getting directed to the epic games store (likely because MoEpic has epic in the name) and at worst I am looking at stuff for new world and lost ark which admittedly are MMO's but definitely not the game you are talking about.

I can find the anime just fine and I can see all 12 episodes so I don't know why the game itself won't come up. Could I please get a link by any chance?

the game is not in youtube... it's on the official website:
http://moepic.com/beginners.html

edit:

Thanks that helps, so where would I go for tutorial videos on the game?

[Meowish]

also "Master of Epic" is originally short formed to "MOE"... it's later called "MoEpic" due to Moe tag is being used by Otakus for those "Moe" stuffs....

i gave you the link to the whole playlist already. That anime is the tutorial of sort...
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5hyq5XNTeD5CLnbQxs5un2yxoqgHuD5N

if you want to go for videos of certain "builts", there probably isn't one, everyone is "unique" in this game, we never know what skill another player took to be honest, only judge them by the armors, weapons and skills they cast, but that's not all to it...

Note that you can wear "anything" you like in the game. Get a dragon armor and wear it on your mage is possible... but due to mage has no str you might not be able to move well wearing it... penalties do exist on wearing gears you are not good at wearing....

it does, in fact there's a few of it... 5? but all in Japanese due to the game is in Japanese. There's also a mod site for the custome UI and such too... you might want to find a UI skin done fully in English too...

Below are the 3 i bookmarked:

I was more so saying like people playing through the game for the first time or giving tips and tricks on how to level up faster ie your advice on running around over encumbered to build a higher str stat.

Having an 12 episode anime be your tutorial video has gotta be one of the biggest flexes in the MMO genre.

Most of all, you don't "level up" normally like what you do in rpgs out there, you simply "live a life" in MoE and what you do, you get better at, and your skill level up to make what you do easier?

About how to level up each skills are taught in the wiki... link added in my previous post.

And no, MoE is probably not the only game to have anime style tutorial... If i remember correctly, the story style tutorial of "Mabinogi" actually did a better job back then with that sheep (goat?) character and protagonist...

edit: And you know what? I actually can't find those videos on youtube at all... Come to think of it, Mabinogi is the 1st ever 2.5D lifestyle mmorpg out there so it could probably be gone before youtube is even a thing... i have them all recorded in a CD somewhere though... hope i can still find it....

The english one gives a plot synopsis and a section that tells you the anime exists and then ends.

I found this https://www.4gamer.net/specials/moe/moe_interview.shtml attached to the one of the 3 ingame photo's on google images that come up when you type in the name of the game, which devolves from cover art, the 3 in game photo's and then random games like halo 4, breath of the wild, and even epic war and the cover art for Ragnorok the animation (really obscure anime attached to another MMO from like 2004 lol).
