[URGENT] Need advice. Engine start fail.

eq8all — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 06:09:46 +0800

As titled I'll elaborate on the symptoms:-
~ It's my old folks' car. A 2007 Waja auto Mitsu motor. Missed just 1 scheduled oil change so far. As usual apparently with most Wajas of the same ilk, fuel pump's been changed THRICE already (must be the relay but that's another matter altogether).

~ Noticed for the past 2 weeks from my usual weekly visits and everytime I left my Myvi there, ignition is problematic and alarm lock kicks in way too fast at key turns. Asked my dad about any changes/issues he encountered; he just dropped in a new albeit what looks like a smaller wet batt. Intermittent but everytime when I need to use the car I can start it in a couple of tries but clearly it was an escalating problem.

~ latest incident occured and confirmed by my younger brother last night when he drove the car back from a teh tarik session. Heard stuttering noises from the front fans side and temp suddenly shot up to "H". Luckily it didn't overheat or stall until he got home. Now the car just won't start.

I seriously need some Waja sifus here to pitch in. It's a son's duty even if it's not technically my daily runner so... At my wits end here. If it's the alternator that could be a 200 - 300 ringgit repair job in need of a delay this time of the month. Is it really that or something else?

Please advise and tyvm in advance.

Daihatsu Mud Master-C Concept

eq8all — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:50:36 +0800

...but ever since that Sunday NST pullout had this featured, I can't get the image out of my mind! I WANT ONE!!!! You guys (or gals for that matter ) should check out Daihatsu's own special TMS '07 features' page (linked below
) and my wish for it is that Daihatsu should seriously consider sliding doors over those flapping gull wings and additional passengers' seats outfitting options for that back cab. A slightly 'bigger' displacement for engine options would be nice too (see pic). FFS..you'll need quite a real estate of a parking space for those things to flap open. I wonder whether Daihatsu's gonna really turn the concept to market or even if they will, how about Perodua? *meh I must be low on my toffee nut latte today*...

Shin Megami Tensei Online : IMAGINE

eq8all — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 22:47:32 +0800

What the hell is this?
It's Shin Megami Tensei : IMAGINE Online or Megaten for short. Here's the preview by OnRPG.com's writer, Michael Justice:-

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Popular franchises such as Megami Tensei tend to always have a little bit of something in their various sequels and spin-offs. Our good friends at Cave decided to develop an MMORPG involving the Megami Tensei universe. The name of this MMORPG was said to be “Shin Megami Tensei: IMAGINE”. When I first heard the news, some few months into the Japanese version release, I quickly gathered a couple of friends who were also interested and we signed up for this enticing journey. Needless to say, my very limited kanji and communication skills did not make it feel like an MMORPG, yet it was amazing to simply walk around the game and just look into the features it had to offer (well, those parts we could translate, anyway). Most of my friends left the game a couple of weeks into it and I was forced to quit. I wanted more from the game, yet the language barrier was just too much for me to handle. Being cut off from part of an MMORPG makes me feel curious and frustrated; two very annoying emotions to have at the same time. Feeling beaten, I removed it from my mind in hopes that a translation would be on the way. Here we are, near the end of 2008 and I finally have an answer to my prayers! I can return to the world which was once unavailable to me, and continue the story which was only half written!

Before I begin expressing detail, please remember that this is simply a preview and nothing more. My first hand opinion is not a finalized summary of what the game has to offer. There were many barriers in my way during the closed beta, such as disconnects and lag (which were all attended to marvelously, by the way), and some content was not yet open.

Gameplay
There are plenty of things that this game does right. IMAGINE has plenty to offer here. Starting off with the combat, you might be surprised at how fast-paced it can be. I often see people compare it to rock-paper-scissors. This, I guess, is sort of true in the way that if you're scissors, and rock beats scissors, you get punched in the face. There's “guard”, which you can use to reduce the enemy's damage to a minimum and make the enemy flinch, leaving them open to any type of attack. This can be broken through with “rush”, a melee type skill which shatters the guard and deals damage while flinching the enemy. This, in turn, can be countered with, well, “counter”, which simply reflects the damage and knocks the enemy back.

That is only the beginning, as there are also things like magic and guns which can be factored into the battle. As you use these skills more often, they will rank up and you will eventually be able to learn more advanced versions of them. Hopefully I have covered the basics of the combat system, at least as to what effects what. Since there are no classes per-se, you are free to pick whichever style suits you. You do, however, have only a limited amount of stat points, so your damage might suffer, but it might be an invaluable skill you need for strategies during battles. Some enemies are weak to certain things. Kodamas, for example, are weak to fire-based skills. In this case, if you used agi or fire breath, it would do a lot more damage than it would on a regular, non-weak monster. Pretty simple, right? Monsters can also have resistances, in which case attacks of that type do no damage, and reflections, in which case the damage you did will be reflected back at you. This being said, you really need to mix up your combat skills a lot, because you will be very vulnerable to enemy defenses, as well as their attacks, if you are only using a sword and slashing at everything that moves.

Demons in Megaten
Luckily, you are not alone. You are probably wondering how the hell you're supposed to be completely offensive and defensive against enemies, whilst simultaneously hitting their weak points and avoiding their resistances, right? Well, this is where the signature Megami Tensei demon-summoning system comes in. Your demons are like another player entirely. You can, of course, use their skills vis-a-vis another hot-bar above your own. You can even manually control them if you want to, simply by tabbing over to them.

While these are both good, you might be a little too preoccupied at some points, which is why each demon has a set AI menu that you can adjust in order to affect how your demon to helps you out. When people say that there are a lot of demons out there, they mean it. There are a couple of hundred demons that you can wind up with, whether you like them for their skills, or because they are small, cute and cuddly (unseasoned decaribias are very cute) They all have status attributes, just like the players. Most demons that you obtain from capturing will start with a set amount of skills. As you level them up they acquire new ones that are related to their previous skills (for example, Jack Frost comes with bufu, then later learns bufula, a more powerful version of bufu).

There is also a demon fusion system, in which demons that you have fused may “inherit” skills that both demons have learned, as well as some new ones that you may acquire specially through this demon fusion. This means that you can, essentially, have a demon with all the skills you want, if you fuse enough demons. It is a great way to compliment each person's play style and can lead to some very interesting combat mechanics. Sadly, you will be limited by the amount of demons you can summon, as well as posses. Firstly, demons cost mag to summon, which drops from all demons, yet all demons have alignments. Alignments play a key role to demon summoning, as it determines how much mag it will cost. In the end, you can pick any alignment and still have access to a large number of demons with reasonable costs, but this is put here simply to keep players from constantly switching demons, which would just be shallow anyway.

Setting and Storyline
Shin Megami Tensei fans will not be displeased with the post-apocalyptic atmosphere of IMAGINE. The setting, while seeming generic at first, really makes you feel like a disaster has struck the land, and that you are a part of the remnants. Broken buildings, dead trees, underground cities; yes, we have it all folks. While this is nice and all, many people hardly pay attention to the setting. It is just under-appreciated, and while some players want to do nothing but beat the stuffing out of pixies all day, there is definitely a feeling that you're a part of the demon busters who roam the wastelands of Tokyo in a search to help rebuild society. Just know that there is an actual storyline.

From Act 0, you are thrown into the storyline head-first. The way the story progresses is through “Acts”, which if you follow correctly can yield some nice experience (and let's face it, you were going to do them anyway for the storyline). Minor cut-scenes still hold a major role in the game, putting emphasis on the way that you change IMAGINE's world. This type of storyline, tied in with an on-line universe, is exactly how all storylines in MMORPGs should progress. The only negative thing about this is that you will eventually run out of Acts, as there is only so far a story can go. My entire team of friends cleared all 16 acts in less than a week.

Summary
IMAGINE holds a lot under its belt as a free MMORPG that is based on a console game. It might develop well or it might not. Who knows? The game has received great deal of attention, yet it is still in the process of growing. I am trusting Aeria Games to hold it close to them, and I am hoping that they know what they have on their hands. To all people looking to IMAGINE, I would say definitely give it a shot if you are looking for something different. For those hard-core Megami Tensei fans, I am just hoping you don't blow it off simply because it's on-line. For both console and regular MMORPG-fans alike, it is a game that you can count on for a unique and great experience. Hope to see you in the official release!

So how does it look like exactly?

**Edited & excerpted for the finer/uglier points from posts in this thread. Will be updated from time to time and meant as a player to player review and experiences/fun/bore factor MAY VARY INDIVIDUALLY AND ACCORDINGLY**

zaakath said in his post dated Sep 26 2006, 11:56 AM
"What little I tried of it, seems okay, the introduction to the game is good as it leads you around nicely. Mob spawns were increased after the first day but still not enough."

SilverCrimz covered some points in his post dated Oct 7 2006, 04:42 PM
"The smooothers time for us is during early mornings. The lag kicks in around 10+ well thats what i felt.It's pretty much similliar to Silkroad but alot easier. In fact, in Sro, you need careful planning what skills you really need but in Rappelz you can pretty much get any skills you like just that you need to patience to actually farm for jlvls."

jenniferjen recapped in fuller detail in her post dated Oct 9 2006, 12:47 PM
"Anyhow, this game will get more interesting after level 20, with new gear and skills, not to mention some quest which require you to take down bosses which is exterely strong! I like the way the whole guild team up to beat a boss, hard but in the end everyone solve the quest which gives like 16k exp! I like how the skill would motivate you keep leveling and solving quests to level up, there is just too much to explore, and even after level 30+, you might just be in the 10% of exploration of the whole rappelz world. There is dangerous places, town which you rather travel that tele, and also dungeons. The event is good to keep you coming back, from grinding event (achieving level 30 in 1 week), Gladiators event fighting level of bosses with your party, Guild and pvp fight event till lot more to come. Community is not bad at all, as if you join a nice guild, everyone will be willing to help especially on taking down the boss. The real drawback would be the lagness, sometimes, the lagness was so bad that you cant even play at all, random dc happen too (due to server resetting), and there is still some skill bugs around, but hey this is a beta, so we wouldnt want to expect too much. If we can hang on to LC so long even thou the game was so boring, why not give rappelz a try! All in all, a game which people start migrating from even WOW to rappelz!"

sniperwolf with his P.O.V on the 'darker' sides in his post dated Oct 19 2006, 03:40 PM
"All the factors you listed above can already make a good game down. What the point of having good game when users cant actually enjoy it or play it anytime without concerning lag or foce themselves up early in the morning just to patch or maybe enjoy a few hours of gaming. Haha I dont actually mind the graphic much la as I enjoy the game play and can play anytime when free and like to. If just merely comparing the graphic, I do think Lineage2 is better as compare to Rappelz...." "it give me the impression as this game is not that good as it seems. The reason I play games is for relaxing and enjoying its content, but turn out most of you here are more like suffering than enjoying. Forcing yourself up early in the morning to play just in order to keep yourself competitive to me its just bit too stressed. I dont think this will be good for your own health and work in long run.."

By the way, just in case if any of us forgot or simply confused on how to log into the forums, use your gPotato U/N and ID details.

Lagging? Here's how to troubleshoot that:-
1. Do a hard reboot to your ADSL modem/router by turning it OFF then back ON. This will allow the modem/router to relog you back and it will try to detect and connect to a different external/public IP than what you'd connected to previously. The suggested IP to connect to for Rappelz is: 60.5x.x.x instead of 218/219.x.x.x if you're a Scramyx user.

2. You can also perform a soft reboot by accessing the modem/router's page through your default web browsers such as IE, FF or Opera. You do this by typing the default gateway address (usually 10.0.0.2 for some brands, or 192.168.254.1/192.168.25x.x for other brands, refer to its respective manuals or Google those up). For Aztech users, you do this by either clicking on 'Save settings' and for the rest of the brands, there's always a properly labeled button.

ADVISORY: BOTH of above steps are HIGHLY 'areas of service'-dependent, meaning that if your area is served by a fixed 218/219.x.x.x ranges of dynamic IPs, then (to put this bluntly) you're shit outta luck.

MMORPG Survey: The Past, Present and Future.

THESIS TITLE:

Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs): The Past, Present, and Future

My name is Leigh Achterbosch and I am a Bachelor of Computing Honours student at the University of Ballarat, Australia. I am inviting you to participate in a study of player perceptions and expectations in MMORPGs. This is one of many invitations posted in various MMORPG forums.

The aim of this research is to create a taxonomy or classification system of the various MMORPGs and their innovative or evolutional features, and to see if they fall within players' expectations. I also wish to discover what current players' hopes are for the future of MMORPGs. Currently there is little to no research in this area, most research about MMORPGs looks into other areas such as latency and player social interactions.

The study will involve an online survey for participants of the ages 18 and above. This survey will cover your experience with this genre of games and your preferences for various aspects of the game design.

You are invited to participate by following the link http://www.sickindividual.com/survey/index.htm and completing the questionnaire that will take approximately 15 minutes of your time. The online survey will remain open until an appropriate sample size is collected. I will repost here when the survey has closed. There are no sensitive questions in this questionnaire and no questions that can identify you. You will remain anonymous by completing this survey, and only upon submitting the survey will you be implying consent to use the data you provide. You may choose to withdraw at any time before submitting the survey, by closing the browser.

Once a summary of results are collated towards the end of this year, I will post them in these forums for your perusal.

Yours sincerely

Click on the survey's link and please participate in the best possible manner people. It's a very cool thing to have someone like Leigh to include MMORPGs as an academic research and our contributions in the survey might just raise intellectual awareness towards this favourite subject of ours. It may also be the needed catalyst to spur better ideas and innovations for future MMORPGs.
