Cyber Hype

Cyber Monday is back in AQW! Hurrah! With all new items both members and non members and as well as new houses designed by the talented J6, I think this is by far the best Cyber Monday we’ve ever had well in my own opinion at least :p Though I can agree that there  are many ideas that we all wish could have been added to the shop and I’m sorry for players who feel disappointed by this but I think that just having these many cyber items is enough to even make a cyborg happy O.o

This years Cyber Monday shop introduces various cyberfied weapons that we all love and miss and two weapons that stood out to me the most are the Cyber Soul Ripper and the Cyber Soul Mender swords because these two in their original form has two be one of the rarest items in game.

Soul Ripper (2009) > Cyber Soul Ripper (2015)

Soul Ripper was first released in AQW during Quibble Coinbiter’s First Shop with a cost of 1k acs it was possibly one of the most expensive ac wepaons of that time, There is also A doom version to Soul ripper which was a 1% chance drop from the Wheel of Destiny or the Wheel of Doom, Its cyber counter part on the other hand is only half the price of its original, costing only 500 ac. A fair and reasonable price rare hunters and for every player who wish they could have taken it from quibble when they had the chance. Though the Cyber Soul Ripper doesn’t have quite the same flare that the original Soul Ripper has, I’m glad to see it alive in game once again.

Soul Mender (2013) > Cyber Soul Mender 2015

 

Soul Mender arrived at AQW during Quibble Coinbiter’s twenty-third shop, with a similar design to Soul Ripper these two weapons definitely belong together side by side like two sides of a coin: Light and Dark. Just like Soul Ripper, Soul Mender was originally sold for 1000 acs however its Cyber Version unlike the Soul Ripper can be both for either 500 acs or 35k g for members. Also unlike Soul Ripper, Soul Mender does not have its own Doom version. In the end, I’m definitely  glad to see it back in the game.

One of the most definite difference between the original and the cyber version of this two weapons is the lack of animation in both the Cyber version however I think that the glow on both swords make up for the lack of animation without that glow, the sword will not seem as appealing to me as it does now. There is also a few difference in the designs despite how similar the two weapons.

Aside from this two weapons, my favorite part of this years Cyber Monday shop is the new house also known as the M4tr1x house, designed by J6 the house comes in variety of colors Blue and Gold (for members) and Purple, Green and Red (for 1500 acs). Perfect for those who prefer one from another. Aside from the different colors, all houses have the same design with a total of 3 rooms not including the outside unless you wish to count that as a room. But what I love about this house is that despite the fact that it may seem small with only 3 rooms, it still looks spacey with plenty of room to show off your favorite house gear or just to enjoy a nice gathering with friends.

And with that, I shall end my post for Cyber Monday and even though its late I hope everyone had a great Monday overall and also that all of you find something that you will enjoy in this years Cyber Monday Shop just like I did 🙂 I hope you guys enjoy this post, see you all again for the next one!

Black Friday Hype!

Hello everyone! Since Black Friday was this week, I thought I’d do a quick post

Black Friday is back with returning seasonal rares and more! Including the Black Friday Hunt with items that you do not want to miss! Personally there are Two sets that stood out to me the most from the Black Friday Shop and I absolutely love them both 

The first is the BladeMaster Assassin set, as a legion fan myself this was an absolute must have, with a variety of helms, capes and weapons what more can a legion/assassin fan could possibly want? Plus this set is available in both AC and Legion tokens so everyone has an equal chance to get it!

The second set that caught my attention is the Dark Void of Revontheus, this was a love at first sight set for me, if there are two colors that I love its Black and Blue (sometimes lavender) but this set was black, black and a delight to my eyes that had to be in my collection no matter what (thank you Tana and Revontheus) !

These are my favorite sets for this years Black Friday Shop and I cannot wait to see what CyberMonday and future events have in store! 🙂

Feast Of Fear!

Hi Guys, this is my first blog and lucky me. Thanksgiving was just recently so Happy Late Thanksgiving to everyone and a Happy late Thursday as well 🙂

Every year AQW puts on a wonderful thanksgiving event but this year they decided to put on a twist buy mixing Thanksgiving and Halloween into one pumpkin spiced event “Feast of Fear”

(image by Aq.com/designnotes)

Parodying the Starbucks iconic seasonal drink Pumpkin Spice Latte, Players had to save thanksgiving from the evil Pumpkin spice that is turning everyone who drinks it to Pumpkin Heads! Yikes, talk about too much Pumpkin! Luckily the headless horseman is busy haunting the sleepy hollow or he might just mistake someone’s pumpkin head for his! And lucky for us, Halloween is over.

After completing a series of quests  from the wonderful Oishi and the Cauldron Sisters, players can return to fight OverGourd to get some wonderful drops! I think the non member players will enjoy the Wicked Pumpkin Caster set! Among the other things in the merge shop because who doesn’t enjoy awesome free player items? 🙂

My personal thoughts on this event is that it felt short, though its probably only because I worked through the quest so fast that it felt that way but overall for an event that was released earlier than usual It was a great event and from what Reens posted on twitter, Ghost had finished the cut scenes in just three days!! So a huge pat on the back for his wonderful work and dedication and huge applause to him! (https://twitter.com/ReensAE/status/669706006696296448) I also really loved the items in the merge shop including the Dark Pumpkin Caster Armor, Helm and the Gourd Prophet pet but my absolute favorite item of all has to be the Scarbucks latte cup because for someone who used to stop by Starbucks all the time before school for a cup of coffee to get me through those early morning, I just HAD to have this weapon. It screamed me, I wish i can take a pen and write my name on it, like what they do at some stores but having it in game is the best part!

I  know that this must be late (and short)  but I wish everyone a Happy Thanks giving and a Happy Weekend overall! Black Friday, Cyber Monday and soon Frostval is just around the corner! I cannot wait to share my thoughts on all of them 🙂
