New Aht Urhgan info : Besiege

[Dayner]

This stuff is in the new issue of Famitsu, taken notes from 2ch.

New system: Besiege

Tribes invade Al Zahbi, trying to capture the Magic Flute.
When the monsters invade, martial law is proclaimed. Those who can fight are obliged to.
It is basically like Garrison, but within a city.

Allies are officers - volunteers, immortal army, empire's soldiers, five-snake generals (fire, earth, water, wind, sky snakes - 5 generals using 2 of the names), Qiqirn soldiers (the new fox race), Goblin soldiers (some of these also betray).

Enemies are:
Undead army: Lamia, Mellow (looks like Lamia), Qutrub, Draugar (skeletons).
Mamool Ja army: Warriors, Sages (Lemur-like? Mamool Ja), Zizu (brown cocatrice) and Pook (small dragons)

New area: Wajarm forest

[Fullerene]

Sounds like a kind-of upgraded Garrison. Lookin' forward to trying it out

 

[Elemmire]

sounds like something I'll enjoy.

 

[Maximilium]

Wait wait What? New fox race?!

Is the fox race NPC or PC???

 

[Blabj]

Hmmm... a magic flute?

Mario 3 anyone?

Maybe the beastmen just want to warp to the next level...

 

[Answa~]

Mozart, 4tw!

 

[Devi]

I can't wait to try this out ;o

I wonder if you have to trigger it, or if it's on a schudle or totatly random...
Would be cool to see it work kind of like dynamis, everyone in the zone working together, drops are common pool for zone etc.

or go back in time :biggrin:

 

[Grem]

Sounds like a giggle.

 

[Malign]

I can't wait to try it out.

hopefully this is random, like pirate attacks on the boat to selbina. having to initiate it would make it stale because you always know what to expect.

 

[Pelori]

That would be sweet.... prancing around in the city all of a sudden, ZOMG ugly undead thingy in my face..... That would be fun.

My first boat ride to Mhaura:

*music changes*
(Randomguy1) : OMFG PIRATES
(Fullerene) : WTF!?!
(Randomguy2) : OH NOES!
(Randomguy1) : RUN BELOW DECK! EVERY1! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIVES!
(Fullerene) : AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Fun times. I want to experience all that again

 

[Marajade]

or go back in time :biggrin:

Push it to the limit!

 

[Acks]

"Wow, I'm the only one here. This city rocks.....oh crap....."

 

[Mai Ikari]

Just pulling stuff off 2ch with a translator...

"Captial invasion, martial law, official announcement, compulsion of conscription, appearance, garrison, PC & NPC vs enemy NPC, inside town, outflow closed"

 

[Kizaryo]

Finally, a beastmen army and undead monsters that have decided to come and raid cities. ^_^

I do hope also it is a random thing.
One moment you are at the auction house of that city, and suddenly...
"The city is under attack!"

I hope they had nice effects such as burning houses.
Heck why not add effects of a burning auction house.
Then have NPC afterwards trying to rebuild.

Now if they obtain this magic whistle? Does that make the village beast-men owned? Seems logical. I guess we'll see where SE will take this awesome new system to.

 

[Klepto_Pyro]

wow this seems like a great idea, as long as there are consequences for losing or winning, like if you lose the part of town(however big) is unsafe until it is restored to the normal order, and if you win participating soldiers get some sort of reward(CP, EXP, Gil, maybe an item that boosts stats and is recharged by participating or something) otherwise it w ould just be something you can ignore for the most part... i can't wait!
