>_> Ash has words. They may be read with brains. Enjoy your weekend!

Greetings! It's been a while since I've been able to get a few messages out through the DN's, but that's because I've been busy! How busy have I been? Well you could say I've been surrounded by...Chaos! <.< >.> My jokes don't get any better. Sorry.

First up we have tonight's release. I found a nice mecha to Chaorrupt, just like the energy blades, to continue the AQW crossover for the Chaos Lord event that's going on. The Katana mech has been chaorrupted and now has all new specials! I even broke out my handy dandy animation pants and made full on animations for the head and body attacks since it didn't have any before! (I'm not great at it like the real artists...but I made things that go *WHOOSH* and fade all over the place)

This is a mech that's focused on Buffing you and Nerfing your opponent. It really shows in the BD attack but the Arms and Shoulders really match up well to push the nerfs home.

Hope you enjoy it!


Now for some other news!

I've been quiet because I've been working on a LOT of stuff behind the scenes. I'm learning more and more about quest building so that we can keep going with story lines like Liath, the Gears Games, and the ALL NEW, TOTALLY TOP SECRET story line that will show what's happening after the events of "The End", and where you as the hero of the game will go. (Was I supposed to talk about it yet? Uh oh...) 

I'm also talking with Blues and Vivi about a few things. We're working hard to bring you some really cool new functionality that will change an entire part of the game. We're also looking into the stat's that need a bit of an adjustment, like Efficiency. 

On TOP of that, all of the staff are working on all kinds of new features for the game. I can't go to far into it but they are incredible! 

You'll be seeing all sorts of new content and features and just plain cool stuff coming out. I hope you all are looking forward to it because we are. And it'll be AWESOME!

Have fun with the new mech, make sure to play the quest from last week while I design and work on the one for next week, and, as always, enjoy the game!

Boy Orbitson Missions

Star Date: 11 July, 3014:

Calling all Star Captains! I'm Boy Orbitson, Grad Assistant. I'm up in the Missions Room at the Star Captain's Club. If you are one of the students who is under L25 and feeling like it's the same old grind day after day to try to get ahead, then you will definitely want to check out the missions I've got here. A little something different for some extra experience. Even if you are over L25 you will probably want to give it a run-through, just for laughs.

Fourth Of July Chaos

Star Date: 3 July 3014

  • This weekend only - ALL NEW 4th of July "Haliaeetus" mecha model. 
  • The Haliaeetus mecha has all NEW art by Minar and specials designed by Blues, and Vivi! It's in Soluna Main in the Holiday Shop on the sidebar. It'll only be here this weekend though! The art will probably return in the future, but specials won't come back in later years.
  • http://cms.mechquest.com/mq/images/MechQuestFourthJuly7-3-2014.jpg
  • What's a "Haliaeetus?" Well, it's one of the most-recognizable eagle species. It ties in to the United States of America Fourth of July celebrations. And to think, I never would have known this if we hadn't already made an Eagle mecha model in the past! I love finding new and obscure bits of knowledge when researching - a friend of mine calls this "Research Rapture." Have you ever experienced research rapture, where you are led further and further off track from the original line of inquiry? This particular research line didn't veer at all. YET. But I digress...
