A3 - Art, Alive and Attraction

I happened to get hooked to the English version of the Korean Game, A3. One can take a side note that I had been hooked to Ragnarok about six months back. Anyway, it so happened that, one of my friends came to visit us, and we all pals planned to haunt the same gaming shack we did about a year back.

We had anticipation of playing the old, but still addictive game of Diablo II. Sadly, the Blizzard fellows had put up some patches onto Battle.net and the terminals at the GameDrome did not have the patches up to date. So, we thought we should try A3. We were pretty daunted by the effort it took to complete the initial boring quests, since we just wanted to get out and do some hunting. Since that did not happen, we moved to Ragnarok, and hunted for couple of hours.

But that is not what this is all about. (Yes, else why would I have bothered to title this entry as A3, right?)

After all that, I still felt there was more to A3, and visited it all alone, and patiently went through it creating a new character, a warrior named Yajna. Come to think of it, it was a good strategy of the Blizzard's to market a single player cum multiplayer game. That way, people get to understand the game mechanics without any rush and then pump adrenalin in the multiplayer games.

After that, I got a couple more of my friends to the same place, and we were hunting the monsters down. Then, when it started to seem pointless, we did come across some quests that were creatively woven into the game world. The first one was the Kadru's quest to get his hammer. This involved hunting a monster named Hemmerd.

Now, it was quite fun, handling these monsters as a team. There was another warrior(Agni) and a mage(Chandrika). Getting the Hemmerd kills under me was easy as I could just beat them down. But the other two were weaker, and we had quite a bit of tickling times, where I had to first soften the beast, and then they would take on it. Then we proceeded to take on more of them.


Then we went upon to hunt Breas:

Followed by Amadys:

The quest follows to kill quite a bit of Temple Knights:

I have completed the quest, but they are yet to. We are yet to get free-time that overlaps each others, and we would be hunting them. (That would be on the Reyden server).

Our RPing apart, let me give some links on A3:
