So cooooool... you can talk to your nakama now as part of the loyalty raising system.

New rides... including Orthrus! I wanted to be able to ride Orthrus since the ride system was implemented :biggrin:

And you can now access the community website from in the game!

Too cool :hearton:

xD I can't understand my nakama. Though I have found a way to "hack" the game if it gets released in english. THere's a simple plaintext dat file with the server and port...just swap that out and it should work... So maybe I'll be able to talk to him soon :D

I've talked a little with a dude intent on hacking it, and the structure of game itself is pretty airtight. I grilled him on the details -- I'm a software engineer by trade.

Much of the text is said to be downloaded directly from the server. So that would be virtually impossible to get around. The core text is pooled inside a data segment in the executable with no breathing room, and doesn't appear to be retrieved by a subroutine. So you're looking at very limited space, which would have to be found/replaced automatically after every patch.

Unless the structure changed radically after Aeria releases it's game (to support multiple languages) I wouldn't be intent on trying to hack it so much in the language dept.

Japanese are known for their crazy/archaic ways of embedding data.


Still this is a pretty major update as they come :blow:

Accessing the community website from in-game is fullscreen :doh:

Might as well just pop-up a real browser! Less delay that way too :rolleyes:

Any idea when it should be back up? In just started playing (Literally. My first account/character was level 4 but I was on Cu Chulainn, while my new/2nd is on Cerberus and is only level 2).

EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently, I just needed to run the updater

Maybe just switching out the DAT file might do something who knows will happen when they release their version :3
Still wit the update I'm kinda sad I won't know how to talk to my nakama :< hopefully Aeria will have the latest updates when they release.

How I think it works is once a nakama is at max loyalty, you can talk to it once a day, and it will give you a gift. You can do this to up three nakama daily I think, but I could be just pulling that number out of thin air at this point. I think I read that somewhere though.

Ouch, looks like if you use the gift command, your nakama's loyalty goes down considerably?? (or at least there is a chance for that to happen)

According to a Gamefaqs post the gift command lowers your devil's loyalty to the 3rd down from max and can be used every three hours (guess my memory failed me)

The wiki seems to suggest Bicorn and Hakutaku are also now rideable. No word yet about the intaglios (riding rings)

I haven't seen anyone riding these in-game yet. I'm gonna have to burn my Kerberos intaglio down to a bloody stump before switching rides anyways :smug:
