Crystal Castle; Exp System
 

The Crystal Castle comes out on November 4th for levels 60 ~ (?). I hope it's not as bad as the Tower. I worked my ass off leveling without the help of an instance. And for those of you who haven't logged on in months, a new exp system will be released: double exp on the return of a "break."

Not sure if this is good or bad. xD

cool, as I stated before, looks like i'll need to log back on and start leveling again. >_> But is there any, lets see, hmm too easy of quests that make the point of those levels worthless?

Outspark has a history of being reckless. I wouldn't be suprised.

Lets see it this way.
Well if you have worked your butt off to around 85.
The crystal tower FOR example if 60~90
The reckless part (making it same as iyzel) could make you a pretty high level, unless that is you have just exceeded the level limit by slightly.

If your capped your character. Just make a new one, you only have to play from 50~60, rest towerings LOL

That's what we want to prevent.

quite agreed on!

Well they are still going to implement it anyway, so you have to distract yourself by seeing it that way.
Unless your a hardcore fiesta-loving kind of person i have nothing to say.

Crystal Castles?

It'd be nice if the EXP was in relation to how long it's been since you've played. I'd rack it up, heh.

I have 'worked hard' to level up to 60+ and also used the tower to get there. I have to admit the tower is fun but creates a lot of powerful, hi-level nubs. The down side of 'working hard' is it isn't much fun. Endless repeat quests and mindless grinding is NOT a great form of entertainment. This IS a game after all. As everyone has pointed out - how do you balance the game so it remains challenging but also doesn't force days of grinding to level up? The tower screwed it up, reducing days of adventuring / questing down to a few hours of climbing stairs. If the castle allows 'step' where we can gain levels and keep progress up then I am for it. If it is an elevator to level 90 then I quit. Having a bunch of level 40+ fighters running around who do not know the first thing about how to fight is taking the fun out... like I said, a game should be fun.

I think outspark has learned the mistakes they made with the other tower. Most likely the tower wont give you more than a level..But that is to say that Outspark can learn.

I really hope that they have.

Tbh, its not easy to find parties for the tower. Idk if its just me but nobody is ever doing it.

Remember when there was like a quest every couple lvls and there was no warp gates? :P

Yeah, I remember all of these arguments about EXP boosts when the abyss came out...

I know, now all my little cousins play Fiesta and when I was playing lnfamous they were like "Mikey come help us in tower" and I'd be like if you can't find a party just go grind in abyss... and they say that takes to long!

lol how do u guys know that its coming out on 4nov?

Email.

oohya, i just got the mail this morning

Geez, Os must have forgotten me. I've had no mails from them-at all-recently, not even for a free 3k SC I've heard/seen other people get. Anyways~

TOWER! Aaaaaaaaaand lovely. Of all the dates to open it, it has to be on the date when school resumes. a.k.a., END of SEMBREAK. *cries*

ah well xD

and whaaaaaaaaat? 'double exp on the return of a "break"'??? so if I haven't played for 3297892384932 years, then I get double exp? are there any more details about this new 'system?'

I'll go check it out when it's there XD

Tell me when its out, ill check it out too.

It might help those people who are in the range of 65-69, cause those are a pain for me lol. But i hope it doesnt just get me from 67 to 70. Then leveling is no fun.

I just wish it gets my archer from 73 to 75 at least so i could use my new set

SELFISH!











jk...

Not sure. I think after 3-5 hours AFK (online), on your return, you'll get double the experience for.. perhaps an equal amount of time. Overall, we will have to wait for full details tomorrow.

I assume the exp system will be like WoW where you enter a 'rested' status for a while upon logging in or staying in a town for a while, while in 'rested' status monsters give double exp. However the duration of this varies, if I log in for 5 minutes then log out for a few days I can get maybe 10% before it goes, but if I just stay in a town I can only kill one mob before it goes.

I was thinking the same, but don't think it'll involve 'resting' places since Fiesta doesn't have inns and such. But we'll see how they plan to do it, and more importantly if it actually works.

Just waiting to see if we get the bonus PLUS can use the CS EXP cards too.....

I think it would be stackable. Doesn't make sense that it wouldn't XD

Then again, this is Outspark we're talking about.

Has anyone logged on Fiesta or read over the patch details? I'd see for myself, but I'm in class at the moment.

Fiesta Game News


It's another Outspark Insider for the Fiesta Community!

As our events have been going lately, I'm dedicating this installment to those resilient few who always seem to catch me when I hop on a server, whisper me like crazy, and immediately go for the dance and hugs (and for some of you, "GLOMPS"). Thanks for making the experience that much more entertaining... sometimes.

For a couple of hours our servers will be shut down in order to perform our maintenance, at which time we can reflect a bit on what's to be expected when the servers are back. So let's get to it.


The Crystal Castle

For those of you who haven't heard, the Crystal Castle is a new instanced dungeon, rather similar to the tower of Iyzel, that's located in the corner of Uruga.



This new challenge will give our players a chance at some new items and bosses never seen before. It will be available for levels 60 - 69. Gear up, and get at it!




Rested Experience

This nifty new feature will allow players to accumulate a certain amount of time where their experience received from mobs will be boosted by an extra 10 percent! The time is accumulated when the player is logged off, here's how it works.

For every 6 hours that a player is logged off, they will receive 10 minutes of the EXP boost. Every hour logged off past that time will accumulate another 10 minutes. The maximum amount of accumulated minutes cannot exceed 2 hours (120 minutes). If only a portion of that time is used within that session, the remaining time will be saved and will continue to accumulate more after another 6 hours of offline time has passed.

There will be an icon indicating the remaining time along with the other buffs, under your HP/SP meters.

Ha. I'm glad they made it 10% — 100% (doubled) hardly seemed necessary.

What ?! Instance si 60 to 69 ? Well there goes me attempting to go back online to get through level 73 ! D<

it barely gives exp (the quests)

Oh cool that new exp system sounds alright..

in a way it encouraged people to log off xD

And YAY my archer is in that level range! I really wanna find some time and try it out... I've already patched my fiesta (along with all the other patches that I've missed xD)

How much xp? Also I wanna get a hold on some of those armors :p Need 65 fighter gears.

I heard someone say about 1.8mil.

Woah that's big that will level me like 7 times over... im lvl 45..
