I like messing with PC players/developers because the smallest thing gets them all raddled up. Refreshing to see someone from the PC world that understands what humor is.




I'm intrigued by this.

Question out of curiosity:
1. Would players be able to play the actual servers from their device (PC client on iClassic server and idevices on the PC server) or just the quest parts?

There should totally be a quest that starts with an NPC of me being burnt at the stake in the bonfire level :shock::quiet::drool:.

its not thor's choice :blush:

The idea involves logging on to the servers via their respective devices in order to complete the 2nd half of the quests.

Perhaps in an ode to Fisher Price the villains could be Jake Torrance and Jason Xorhees ;).

Thor, can you give us a scouting report on Moussa Dembele? I heard he's off to spurs but he was a Van Gaal target not so long ago, apparently.

Talented but lazy. Could be the next Anelka.

Van Gaal is a piss poor manager. I hope so bad Mourinho comes to United. Van Gaal just puts people in the wrong positions.

The question was about Moussa Dembele.

Dembele is alright...he's not amazing or anything too spectacular he did do alright in the world cup...


Also isn't he's already at Spurs...why would he be "off to spurs" if he's already there?

That's Mousa Dembele, not Moussa Dembele the 19 year old French forward at Fulham.

When will premier league get on par with MLS

Tired of USA being the best at everything

Thor just pmed me he's giving GTA to massokre...

Speaking of Thor...is it just me or has he been on Login for like 2weeks straight now?

I certainly hope not. I don't have the time to work without compensation.

You spend most of your free time playing iclassic or viewing graalians, so might as well go for it. :D

I don't usualy complain about Gta but we need something new.
Its been many months since anything has been added.
Even a preview for something would help.

I have accumulated 361 hours on iClassic over something like 3 years. That's got to be some kind of record!

i beat you, i think i have 100

Rank Guild Point Awarding
 

A Guild Points award system for the Ranks has now been implemented. Those who occupy the top 5 of each Rank at the end of each month will have Guild Points awarded to their respective Competitive Guild.

Guild Points awarded for those who top the Spar + PK + TCG ranks are as follows -

1st: 10 Guild Points
2nd: 5 Guild Points
3rd - 5th: 1 Guild Point

As Archery is a single player based rank, the awarding is as follows -

1st: 5 Guild Points
2nd: 2 Guild Points
3rd - 5th: 1 Guild Point

As of this moment, Loyalists of Graal are set to gain 27 Guild Points. With this considered the prices for the various Guild Awards have been adjusted, but are subject to change in future depending on how things play out.

A playlist of the current various Guild awards can be seen here:

Is this still a thing or is it the current graal im playing? If its different id love to try it out!

I'm just gonna assume that it should be ready and very qualified to atleast be on the list for client but politics (politics that are absolutely ridiculous) are preventing it from being public.

The status of graal client is an absolute joke and also really sad. People should be ashamed and basically killing it by doing absolutely nothing. This is nothing new at all, it's been like this for a very very long time.

I think he was actually asking if this is different from iClassic, lol.
Yes, it is. Throughout August we held events (Real events, much better than iClassic's only 2 events that aren't broken) with a playercount averaging around 30-40 at any given time. Unfortunately now that school has started the numbers have dropped down to around 10-20 during the afternoons and evenings so events aren't as frequent, but we still do them on occasion. Graal The Adventure also has an excellent questline and other content if you've ever heard of that.

You can download the client here. To access Graal The Adventure, you need only type adv into the search bar.

Thanks, I got on and its actually really cool. I cant wait to get back on after school c:

No problem! If you or anyone else needs any help with quests, mechanics, events, or anything at all, just send me a PM. My community name is xiaoguard. You can also join our Skype groups to receive notifications when events are going on. Check out my link directory here.

That's a lot of **** flinging, but whatever makes you feel better I guess.

he needs the comfort, he's at constant risk of the government lizardmen getting him, poor soul

The newest mode of Capture the Flag on Graal the Adventure, complete with Hook Shot.

You did great Thor.. Congrats:)

GTA should have its own website, app and Facebook server. its bs that a good server like that is dead due to the ****ty client its on.

Impressive, very well done Thor!

We do have our own website.

EDIT: Oops, you meant a web app. Never mind lol

I smell more obtainable tears of hera :)
Hey thor could we have some new platforming pk events too?

Thor will lead all Graalians into a new age of happiness and prosperity.

Wait is this how iClassic guildsystem going to be like?cough frauds

are you ******ed?

Yes.

Maybe unix & md were right about two classics being confusing

Not sure why the original needed to be the one renamed.

Oh hey pc players who've been here 20+years. Necessarily the way that's said could be used in some sense in iclassic's(even if not what they will do) however different it may be idk because not fully read or bothering to as pc dickheads will always feel more powerful for playing a game years longer pretty petty and pathetic. no doubt they'll probably reply some ****.yawn. Even if classic(not even iclassic-was earlier still would be considered taken from other classic/adventure as there is nothing of that system there already-oh no it's classic we create everything in graal existence..)

The system thor talked about wouldnt make sense for a server with 4000 players. I see the overlap between stats and points, but only the top 5 players in each rank get points for their guild. This only works with a smaller playercount.

For what it's worth, I started graal on iclassic, but dont bother commenting about a post you didnt fully read if you expect "pc dickheads" to "reply [with] some ****"

That comment was more to the 'are you ******ed' 'yes' comments not you..and I was more thinking it would be kinda like top 5 get whatever points 6-20 get x points 21-200 get points and so on.. Idk really how iclassic is going to do it as they've never actually stated anywhere about exactly how it will work and only one's who seem above board on it are surmising it'll be great so guess we'll see how it will be eventually as they seem to already know but say nothing about it.

we'll have to wait and see. or wait and never see, if theyre just trolling us xD

to be honest, i think that going onto the app store and seeing Graal for the first time ever as "Graal the Adventure" sounds a lot more enticing than Graal Classic+. The only reason I see for ios keeping the name Classic is because there was no actual adventure as in a questline. The only "adventure" was exploring and interacting with others online in different ways.

I'm not sure what to think about your analysis of points using the pre-wipe system. Points grew exponentially in relation to the rank of your opponent. The top two ranks fighting each other exclusively? That would be primarily linear. Meanwhile, assuming a constant 30 ranked players all in a PK room together, it would have taken a player killing the bottom ranked player 116 times to surpass the number of points (unrounded) you would have earned killing the top ranked player 20 times.

If you scaled the same scenario up to 1000 players instead, it would take 220 times killing the lowest ranked player to earn the same number of points (unrounded) as you would get from killing the top ranked player 20 times.

I've read plenty of criticisms of iClassic sparring, in particular individuals sparring selectively with an emphasis of seeking out players who are less skilled. Does your system incentivize or decentivize this kind of behavior? How do you believe your system scales in relation to what you seek to incentivize and decentivize? What is your objective variable, and what are the constraints you have to optimizing it?

Meanwhile, did you decide to use the more recent database extensions, or the binary-search/array-insert methods I hacked up?

Also, how did you come to your decision about the guild points awarded for each category? What do you consider to be a healthy guild system, and what guild activities are you attempting to incentivize or decentivize with the points system?

I will finish by saying that you're doing a decent job with GtA in general, though I would personally prefer if there were more players and more overworld levels to explore. Regardless of the overworld, I definitely love that there are lots of quest levels to explore.

I'm sure he didn't use any of your "property."

??? The algorithms I used for the ranking system are public domain. And most scalable rank algorithms incorporate logarithms, e.g. Reddit's hot algorithm.

Edit: I should probably state I'm more curious about what aspects of gameplay Thor's seeking to promote with his system. His announcement post doesn't provide enough information to figure that out. And as always, I'm hoping that GtA will grow again, especially because Thor attempts to emphasize the style of gameplay I like infinitely better than iClassic, despite the reservations I have about not including older "property" that also emphasizes the same.

when people see a clumped up paragraph formatted that way they're not gonna bother reading it. you're ******ed because the **** you quoted was from graal the adventure and has nothing to do with iclassic. this is obvious if you just look at the levels/graphics.

if you read what I put in op.. I basically already know its for graal the adventure but 'is this what iclassic guild system is going to be like' is what I was asking or stating to whoever.(Since not just graaladventure players come here infact most here probably play iclassic more)dickhead.
As it's pretty dam common for servers to take/have very similar stuff. Whether they do or do not only time will tell, unless you already have the info of how it's going to be? yet noone has said it publicly so all just surmising otherwise.
