Event Mission : Gold

In the version 3.2 Defense of the Zeia Expansion, there is one special feature which added more entertainment to us, Granado Espada players, instead of raiding boss everyday, AFK for the day or waiting the gate for Battle Colosseum, Poison Yard and Secret Temple until got 'rusted'. The feature that I meant is the 'Daily Event Missions'. Starting from 2 PM onwards, there will have an auto-generated event held where all players can participate in. Event Statues were added in outside of City of Auch, The Port of Coimbra and City De Reboldeux. Players can create their own room (with or without password) and others players can join the room, which is quite similar to the game-starting part of the Highway, Trinity, Spotlight and Intercharge Mission. There are a total of 8 mission per day, which are 'Joaquin Barrier' starting at 2PM, 'Gold' at 4PM, 'Team Arena' (MCC3) at 8PM, 'Invasion' at 10PM, 'Team Arena' (MCC1) at 11PM, 'Occupation' at 12 AM and lastly, 'Joaquin Barrier' at 2 AM. Different missions have different task and rewards. The hottest missions are both Team Arena (MCC1 & MCC3) as players can get many 'luxuries' such as symbols and Le Noir recipes which makes all the vis-hungry players to get crazy about it. On 11th April 2009, I managed to spare out some time to participate in the mission 'Gold' at 4PM. Of course, there was filled with all other players who just like me, wanna have some fun instead of grinding all their ways to be 'god'. I anyhow joined a room and eventually, everyone in the room shouted ''GAME START!!''. Seems like everyone is so anxious to add some color in their gaming experience (count me in!). Once the missions started, naturally, everyone buffed up their characters and let the game start!. We had divided into 2 groups, one was to defend our colony while the another group was to break the enemy's colony. I got no choice but to defend our colony due to my noob equipments. Waves of monsters were came to attack our colony endlessly. This was my first time of seeing a Swamp Merman Eater which was hard to be spotted in the outside world of Granado Espada! Of course, all of us tried our best to slain that huge dinosaur as it was the only boss that drop symbol of Capricorn for Arnis, expert dagger stance. Just one bite and all my characters died (as I expected). Resuscitating the died characters, that's the only thing that I can do. At the end, our colony destroyed and the dinosaur was still alive and kicking. All of us eventually got warped out to town as the missions failed. Overall, this mission is quite fun and need the spirit of teamwork too, in order to complete this tough-yet-fun mission. I will have my second try if only I have free time again.

The April Fool Event

1st of April - April Fool's Day, people overall the countries will try their best to come out with some creative and funky jokes to make fool of their friends, family members, neighbors and so on...... Singapore Granado Espada had held an event too, which called as 'The April Fool Event'. A Ramiro's clone had been placed in every channel of City of Auch. Its more like a quiz where you had to pick the wrong answer for every questions that the Ramiro's clone asked. There were a total of 9 questions and every questions have 3 choices of answer. You were given 3 chances to answer the quiz per day. If you had picked the wrong answer, you will still left 2 more chances to answer the quiz. The reward that you will get if you able to answer all the quiz correctly was the April Fool's Day Soup. I had tried the quiz on 4th of Apirl 2009, 9.50 am . Well, the quiz is very easy and its quite lame too.
