Godswar on Facebook

Before I switch to play Facebook's Tetris Battle Godswar is the game I love to play. Godswar is like any other level up games. The only difference is that you can play this game directly from your web browser and they offer a feature wherein you can leave your character alone through the AFK (away from keyboard). This means that your player can still gain experience even you are away, your player will auto-attack and auto-heal as well as auto-mana himself/herself. Here an example video for the Godswar's trailer.


Godswar is not a flash game, this game uses the Kalydo platform. That's why Godswar will require you to download and install this plugin upon clicking the Godswar App on your facebook account. One advantage of this game is that even using a USB modem for your internet connection will not give you lag while playing. Since I only use USB modem when I am in my house for internet connection I still can play this amazing game. I started playing this game 2 months ago and I still play this game up to present. Godswar is a game between two great lands, the Sparta and Athens. Well I am with the Spartans. There are four types of characters here, the warrior, champion, priest and mage. I already try all four but I like champion the most. See pictures below.

Champions are concentrated to fast offense and attacking skills but they have low defensive skills. They are really good for BUA (bay under attack) event. They use spear as they're weapon.

Champion
Mages uses magic for their skills. They have a wide range of skill effects. Also don't have that much defensive skills. Same as the champions they are both good for PvE (player versus environment). Mages use wand as they're main weapon same as the priest.
Mage

Priests are mainly for support function, they have lots of skill that heals themselves and other players. They are very good support when bosses. Hunting bosses here in Godswar is a must because of the drops they give. Those drops are sometimes gems, and other important items in Godswar.
Priest

Warriors are mainly the most defensive type of character in Godswar. They don't have that much attack capabilities but combined with their defensive skills warriors are definitely on of the most chosen character in Godswar.

Here is the picture of my character at Godswar Delphinus Server. Sorry but I am new to this game and I am only Armor Rank 2 and Weapon Rank 2 as of now.


I have a lot to learn to play this game and make my character more powerful. Here, you upgrade all your armor, rings and weapon to a certain level to reach higher ranks. The higher the grades the higher your attack power and health/mana goes. This game certainly is not base on how high your level is but on how high the grades of your weapon and armor. One good thing for this game is that the GM has so many events, where players can earn B-GOLD. There are three currencies here, the GOLD (obtain by purchasing or sold item), B-GOLD (given by GM, completed task, converted from GOLD) and SILVER (came from sold items and tasks). All of the above currencies are important and can be used to buy important items specially gems. There are four main gems here, the rubies (used for upgrading the level of weapon), the emeralds (used to upgrade or even change the appearance of an item to whatever you wanted defending upon the available list of items the forging process will give you), sapphire (used to upgrade attributes) and crystals (used to add success rate in forging items).

Personally I have made many characters here in Godswar, the first five characters I have made are all messed up, since I don't know all the strategies of playing Godswar before. I learn only by asking my co-players, reading Godswar forum and most specially through google (my internet best friend). The important events in Godswar are always announced by the GM, and also can be read on their Events tab located at the top of your Godswar platform.

Some tips I can give even though I am a newbie in Godswar.
  • Upon creating your character, ASAP go and find a master because 2000 B-GOLD is the prize when you reach level 50 and graduated being an apprentice.
  • For being a master find many apprentice you can find, because you will gain ethics from your apprentice that can be exchanged for B-GOLD.
  • For master and apprentice application, make sure that there is a gap of 30 levels in order for you to have a master or apprentice.
  • Upon reaching level 30, and opening the gift bag use the parcel stone immediately, because that stone has a certain amount of time to vanish. Parcel stones are used to have extra space in your back pack.
  • Do Warmats (war materials, the food, wine, weapon and medicine) daily so that your league will be benefited as well as your character. Warmats will give you, guild contribution, silver and large amount of experience.
  • Use your fireworks daily, this is acquired from the pyro envoy. This will also give you large amount of experience. Upon getting the fireworks you will be given a coordinate to find and after finding that coordinate you will release your fireworks there to obtain your experience.
  • Obtain your Nameplate daily at the Faction Crier. This will give you large amount of experience without a sweat. The amount of experience varies on the level of your character.
  • Do Zeus Envoy daily, this event will give you experience, pan envoy (is an event at treasure island wherein you will catch many monster and inside that monster you will get good items), and silver. Here is the pattern when you are inside the Dodecanese.
Follow this numbers to find Hera
  • Next do all the tasks with great rewards, these rewards maybe large experience, gems and silver. You don't have to do all the tasks that are not that important and the rewards are not that good enough.
  • Always hunt for bosses.
  • And always sell good items you looted during your quests.
  • Do the Marathon Event daily, this will give 720 B-GOLD. When you are level 50 just look for the Fitness Trainer at Suburbs of Sparta and do the event. This can be done 6 times a day.
Well that's all I can give base on my experience playing Godswar for two months. And I will be back for more. Godswar rocks!




Cabal Online

When I started playing this I am not curious about the game but on the name CABAL. So as always my internet best friend - google, I googled it! After searching I've found out that cabal is an evil entity who destroyed the so called place Nevareth. So the game was basically named after a demon? LOL!. This game is free but same as the other games you will not acquire the highest point ability of your character if you just play it without spending some money. Here in our country we buy the the so called e-points to purchase what we needed for our characters. My character here was a Wizard because of his skill the Completer is like the skill of my favorite anime Naruto, the kage bunshin no jutsu (wherein your character multiplies to a certain amount). Here are the 13 main maps, the Bloody Ice, Green Despair, Port Lux, Desert Scream, Lakeside, Undeadground, Exilian Volcano, Mission War, Forgotten Ruin, Pontus Ferrum, Porta Inferno, and Fort Ruina. Well of all the maps, I like to stay in Bloody Ice because of the soundtrack. The soundtrack is very refreshing and very cool. Here is the Cabal Bloody Ice theme song.


There are 6 types of characters in Cabal, the Warrior, Blader, Wizard, Force Archer, Force Blader and Force Shielder. 

The Warrior
Based on my own experience Warriors are not good in PvE (player versus environment) but good in PvP (Player versus player). They are all about physical force and have less intelligence, and definitely physically fit. 

Starting Area : Bloody Ice
Primary Weapon :  2-handed Great Sword or Daikatana 
Suits :  Armor sets
Battle Mode 2 : summoned Astral Weapon is a scythe
Special Skill : Lance drive



The Wizard
This is my favorite character in Cabal. As I have mentioned earlier, wizards have special skill called the Elemental Festival. Wizards are good in PvE, because they got the blink combined with the dash. They are all about force that uses magic through orb. They have less physical strength unlike the warriors and have lesser armor too. They're main advantage is wizards can use different magic at the same time making the enemy receiving more damage.

Starting Area : Desert Scream
Mobility : Dash and Blink
Main Weapons : Orbs
Battle Mode 2 : pair of astral orbs
Special Skill :  Elemental Festival


The Blader
Bladers are moderately good in PvE and can beat other melee (short range) classes in PvP except for warriors. They are more agile and basically made for speed and mastered the second form of force. I do not know much about the force blader maybe because I don't like their class.

Starting Area : Desert Scream. 
Main Weapon : blades or katanas
Battle Mode 2 : pair of Dual Claws
Special Skill : Crushing Blow


Force Archer
Force Archers are all about distance against the enemy. The longer the distance they are separated from their enemy the stronger they get.

Starting Area : Green Despair
Main Weapon : 2 crystals
Suit : Battle Suit set
Battle Mode 2 : pair of Astral Guns


Force Blader
They are not that good in PvP, but for some they are the best in PvP. Force bladers also have good looking skills and definitely they are good in PvE. They are made to make agile attacks with perfect inflections. They can use physical and magic styles in combat. Together with the force shielder they are the hardest characters to train.


Starting Area : Green Despair
Main Weapon : orb
Suit : Battle Suit set
Battle Mode 2 : Arm Cannon
Special Skill : Prismatic Blade


Force Shielder
They can acquire both the offense and defensive skills. But others say that they more good if you use only the magic not the sword skills. Well its still up to you. Definitely good in PvP for having a hybrid class and powerful enough in PvE.A force shielder can be Force, Hybrid or Sword class.

Starting Area : Bloody Ice
Main Weapons : blade/crystal or katana/orb
Battle Mode 2 : Astral Blade Shield


Personally speaking I lost interest in this game because my account here was banned. That time the cabal bot was available and me and my friends used this bot. My friends that time uses cash for their characters while I'm not. Unfortunately for my character and same as for me I am the only one who got banned and my friends did not, too unfair. Well I think for now that bot is totally gone.

Overall, the game was absolutely good to play but socialization is not that good enough since playing alone is more recommended than having a party which is boring. In a game specially when based here in the Philippines it must always give the opportunity of communication with other players. Having party for an online game is the most important since each player can chat with each other while playing in the same map. Its like in the real world that they are also playing with each other. I play online game to have fun and friends, that's my main reason. Well maybe for others they can play alone and just focusing to level up their characters. The grinding process in cabal makes the game boring. Since you have to choose what to level first, your skills or your character level. Hmmmm... that's my opinion about cabal, and the game itself no more no less is perhaps has amazing concept.
