The Return of Pangya USA - Screenshots/Changes + 1st Impressions

Before The Shutdown

After The Revival

Today I was able to play one tournament game and test out the current Open Beta. The client is smooth, minimal errors, and everything looks clean and well done (No-half arsed Descriptions, etc.).

Probably the most memorable thing (Besides failing on Sepia Wind with a -18), everyone on the server became a Trap/Reverse Trap (Also Known As: "When I went to Ntreev, I became a girl"). Currently Ntreev USA is doing maintenance to fix these small things, but overall I am very happy with the transfer.

Mostly all the points that I highlighted in this post last month were covered, and for that I applaud them:

• Everyone's Pang was reset to the starting 3000 Pang.
• Every item previously owned was transferred completely intact.
• Course records were reset.

Some Notes:

• Scout is now named "Nuri".
• Phoenixes are now called "Comets" (To fit the "Swing for the Heavens")
• A18-Related Logos were all cleaned and changed to "Pangya" (Particularly the Guild Battle Winners Shirts)
  

From my experiences in Grand Chase, Ntreev knows how to run events, keep things balanced, and are very open to ideas/receptive to their community. It is with this hope I can see new events and a greater sense of community once more, and meet the people that I've lost, again on the greens.

Some Hopes:

• Custom Tourney Option Once Again (Been Waiting For These)
• Better Events/Non-Generic x2 XP/Pang Days
• Open-mindedness to Voice Clubs and Associated In-Game Items (JP voices, Special Clubs/Items from Other Servers)
  
• Season 4 Not Far From Arriving (Grand Chase is releasing characters at a standard rate, so I assume they will follow with their Pangya releases)
  

Some fun screenshots for your pleasure.

Various Random Photos with Old Vets/Players:


Extra: I find taking photos of my characters in different settings/outfits like a Photo Shoot entertaining. I actually took a lot of sad-face photos of the other couple of girls in the case nothing was transferred/server was gone forever. Seeing as we're in the good now, I present the "Sadface: Before the Shutdown" Arin and Hana pictures. It's nothing big, but I did put some effort into them. Too bad my username could not be removed....

Arin:Hana:

With that, I hope to see all of you on the greens, and look forward to having a wonderful time on Pangya USA.

Preparing For Panels...(Fanime Con Preparation for Pangya/Vocaloid)

Wonder if Ntreev will be interested in coming by; OGPlanet in the past called me directly and we talked about what exactly my panel would consist of and what kind of ambiance Fanime Con has. I still have some old promo goods from them as well (Albiet just postcards). Anyway, consider this an advance notice, as either way I'm planning to again do my Pangya panel this year.

However, I'm also working on a Vocaloid Panel, so both will prove to be, at the very least, entertaining; I'd appreciate any input people may have as to what I could cover in such a panel.

Information again can be found at http://www.fanime.com for location, registration, etc.
