Letter to Vita in 2000FUN.com

August 4th, 2012 | Posted by Conspire in Site News - (12 Comments)

Dear 2000FUN Forum Member Vita,

It has come to my attention that you has leapt on some Babel content that I posted a few weeks ago to defame and insult my dear friend Vivaciou (URL: http://www.2000fun.com/thread-5048395-1-1.html). Since you are stupid enough to believe the laughable quality of translation from Google Translate, I thought I would just take the liberty of clarifying some things for you.

First of all, I wrote that “About Me” as a joke, as anyone who has the slighest understanding of the English language would get, because Vivaciou has been very busy with her summer courses lately – as she actually has a life. Which is more I can say about you morons, as your favorite past-time seems to be insulting teenage girls behind the safety of your own computer screens.

While it’s absolutely true that the best VP in Korea – and not only her, but many people in the KR community – considers Vivaciou the top Void Princess in the Gaia Server in Korea, Vivaciou herself is extremely modest and considers herself highly unskilled. Thus, I purposely threw in that statement to poke fun at her as a friend, because I knew she would be embarrassed by me making that characterization public.

At the same time, she IS legimately skilled. She’s spent the past four years constantly bettering herself – not because she has anyone to impress, or because she wants to be famous, but rather, because she enjoys the game and considers it a personal challenge. You claim that apparently 행운의2달러 and I carry her in 3:3 PvP. Guess what? I lose almost every legimate 3:3 without her on my team. And whenever 행운의2달러 and I play with her, she ends up getting the bulk of kills. Yet, she has never boasted about her skill, only seeing ways she is lacking and only seeking ways to improve. No wonder her friends like to poke fun at her for how skilled, yet modest she is.

Furthermore, I also see you’ve posted that video of Vivaciou versus the PvP NPC Noah, and referenced the fact that she was taking little damage from the NPC as “proof” that she relies on “100% gear and 0% skill”. Guess what? That just proves you lack any knowledge of this game. PvP NPCs suffer absurdly from damage reduction, to the point that 30% from ANY character is sufficient to render every attack 1 damage. Her gear is absolutely not uncommon at the levels we play at. In fact – she’s undergeared. She uses a +9 in a server where +10 and +11 is routine – meaning she constantly holds her own against players with 90% more weapon attack than her, with the ability to one shot her.

Finally? You really think that the fact that she didn’t publically thank me in her videos is proof that she’s an abrasive and impolite person? Please, find some actual material to base your rumors and gossips off of. For what it’s worth, she DID thank me for her time. And even if she didn’t, would it really matter? She’s a fantastic friend on all counts, and none of us mind doing favors for her.

Overall, you rightfully all ought to be ashamed of yourself. Vivaciou is one of the sweetest young girls I know. Moreover, she has worked very hard in bringing the latest information from Korea to the international community – for YOUR benefit, not her own. Are you all that insecure that you would desperately jump upon the tiniest scrap of evidence to “prove” that Vivaciou has no skill, that Vivaciou has a bad personality, that Vivaciou’s reliant on her equipment? I’m so sorry that you are so lacking in ability that you’re THIS desperate to prove to yourselves that you’re better than her. She simply wants to play the game to have fun; you seem to play the game for the sole reason of proving that you’re superior.

Congratulations, Vita. You have throughly embarrassed yourself on the international stage, and proven that you are petty, gossip-obssessed, bitter trolls who jump to conclusions over the tiniest jokes in attempt to bring others down. Do you really take this much satisfaction in trying to ruin the game for others?

I know who in Korea orchestrated this farce, and I will personally ensure that if you ever touch my friend again, the entirety of the server – whether Korean, English or Chinese – will know of how pathetic you are. I will abuse every connection I have to ensure that your gaming experience is ruined – an adequete taste of your own medicine, if I might say.

Get the hell out of my website, and never insult Vivaciou again.

Sincerely,
Conspire
Site Coordinator

Our newest service Babel Comic is ready to launch! We have uploaded all of the previous KR comics from Windy and MagicHand, plus the Dimension Witch and Infinity Sword comics. To check them out, simply click on the “Comics” link at the header above.

This is also a good time to introduce our new Chinese/English translators, ChungES and Lachesiss, who will be working on translating Chinese comics from the very famous fan-artist Evil00000 into English! We will also be expanding into Taiwanese once we have the resources to do so, so give them a warm welcome!

Finally, I would just like to thank all of you for your support with Babel so far. Babel’s reception has been amazing, far surpassing our expectations, with incredible viewcounts from the very first day. However, this also means that as we expand our services and continue to provide you with accurate, up-to-date translations, we will need your support in paying for our server: already, we are close to reaching the capacity for our server. Please keep your eyes peeled for a donation drive soon; depending on the results of the donation drive, we may or may not need to add ads. As you can imagine, we would prefer not to detract from the Babel experience with constant annoying ads – and in particular, pop-ups if the need for money gets bad enough – so we strongly urge you to donate once the drive is up to keep Babel’s services open to all!

 

I am so pretty!

Korean Elsword – Weekend Event July 28th/29th

July 26th, 2012 | Posted by Conspire in Event Notices - (1 Comments)

 

Announcing the “Spectacle, Variety, Super awesome, Hyper-Ultra Special Time Event “!
(Their words, not ours, LOL)
When? July 28th (Saturday) from 11 AM to 12 PM
What? For only one hour, you have unlimited stamina, 2x EXP and 2X Drop Rate.

When? July 29th (Sunday) from 11 AM to 12 PM
What? For only one hour, you have unlimited stamina, 2x EXP and 2X Drop Rate.
Furthermore, you will receive a “Summer Vacation Cube” and “Country Lover Armband”

The Summer Vacation Cube can contain one of the follow items, chosen from random:

  •  Rebirth Stone
  • Eltree Berry (Pet Food)
  • Nasod Megaphone
  • Advanced Nasod Megaphone
  • Ice Burner
  • Exchange Ticket for a Full Set of Limited Avatar
  • +8 Upgrade Scroll
  • +9 Upgrade Scroll
  • +10 Upgrade Scroll

 

 

Finally, for all day Sunday (0 hr to 24 hr), there is also a special reinforcement event:

July 29th, Reinforcement Event “Please Save My Equipment” (ONE DAY ONLY) from 00 HR to 24 HR

For the entire day on Sunday, the probability of your weapon breaking when reinforcing is 0% (note that it can still reset and drop in level!)
Furthermore, you are permitted to use fluorides when upgrading from +10 and above.

 

Unfortunately (or fortunately), they did not bring back the 200% Gem Event. Which is probably a good thing, considering the massive backlash from the community when they had it out!

I am so pretty!

 

 

EDIT: Perhaps I should be more clear because some people are complete fucking retards. Yes, you can use Fluorides on +10. No, you cannot get +20, +13, or even +12. Please stop being so god-damned retarded.

These are the basic skill and combo videos. More advanced gameplay, translations and interviews will be coming out extremely soon! Keep your eyes on Babel, your front-line source for KR information.

UPDATE: The KR patch was extended for one hour. However, since I cashed Dimension Witch, I managed to get a preview of the pose for you guys before the server shut down!

More Videos:

Patch Notes (July 26th)

July 25th, 2012 | Posted by Conspire in Patch Notes - (17 Comments)

New Content

  1. Aisha’s New Second Job Path: Dimension Witch has been released!
    From July 26th to August 2nd Maintenance, you will obtain a Oblivion Drink Box (7 Days) when obtaining Dimension Witch (regardless of whether you do quest or use the cash item).
    Unused boxes will be deleted on October 4th.

New Events

Further information will be released on Thursday, July 27th.

  1. Upon logging onto the game for the first time, you will receive a key in the mail that can be used to open the “Appointment Cube”, which will grant you one “Mysterious Moonstone” that can be used to exchange the 15-day timed Dimension Witch Quest Reward Wings for a permanent version.
    (For your interest, the wing items are called “A Witch that Runs Through Space Time”, but I’m avoiding that use because it would generate confusion. We have no idea why they gave it that name either!)
    (July 26th to August 2nd Maintenance)
  2. Dimension Witch has been added to the list of characters eligible to receive feathers from dungeon completion.
    (July 26th to August 2nd Maintenance)
  3. Summon the Guardian Angel to the Battlefield! Dimension Witch’s Guardian Angel Cards have been released and are now available from first log in, and from a daily quest.
    (July 26th to August 9th Maintenance)
  4. Upon first logging onto the game, you will receive a “Ha Young Angel” accessory for the first character you log onto.
    (Ha Young is a member of the Girl Band “A Pink” – All of the angel accessories are named after members.)
    (July 26th to August 2nd Maintenance)
  5. Night Watcher pre-event: Let the Guardian Angel assist you in obtaining Trapping Ranger! (Buffs will be granted to you on steps of the Trapping Ranger quest).
    (July 26th to August 2nd Maintenance)

  2. Added Dimension Witch Promotional Wings to cash shop for purchase (3000 nx for permanent). 
    (Available July 26th to October 4th Maintenance)
  3. The cash shop set “Cheer Up! World Cup” Avatar will be on sale in celebration of the World Cup as a discounted package for all characters (Chung is excluded – he does not have the set.)
    (Available July 26th to August 9th)

Fixes

  1. Feathers now may only be obtained at level-appropriate dungeons.
  2. Upon emptying a quick slot for potions, the game will now attempt to automatically search your inventory for the same item to replenish your supply.
  3. In-game automatic mail deletion error was corrected. Player-sent mail would occasionally be deleted when you retrieved attached items – this has been corrected.

 

I am so pretty!

We are deciding whether to continue to translate the comic in the future, as it is fairly generic. Please let us know your opinion in the comments section, however!

(Don’t forget to check up on the banner/logo contest that we’re running if you haven’t yet done so. 50m is up for grabs!)

Finally, please check back tomorrow for Dimension Witch information – we will be providing translations of in-game content, videos of and interviews with Korean players!

Welcome to Babel!

July 24th, 2012 | Posted by Conspire in Site News - (2 Comments)

Welcome to Babel, your new frontline source for Korean Elsword translations!

For some time now, the quality of Elsword HQ’s translations have been dropping immensely. The turning point came with Elsword HQ’s complete inability to translate an event notice that turned out to be one of the most profitable event in Korean Elsword’s history, causing the entire English community to miss out on potential earnings of possibly billions of ED per person. Following this gaffe, the super pretty and generous Conspire decided to step in to create a new partnership between his Korean connections and Elsword HQ to ensure that English-speaking players would never again be at a loss for translations.

The end result was the website you see now: Babel. We will be working to provide you with up-to-date and immediate translations of patch notices, event notices, changes in KR policy and so forth. As an on-going project, we also intend to take on other aspects of interest – storyline translations, common Korean phrases, etc. Finally, we will also strive to generate original content that would otherwise be inaccessible to the average North American player – for instance, interviews with and guides from the top Korean players.

Without further ado, I introduce you to our (growing) team!

I am so pretty!

About Me:
I have 3 billion in Korean Elsword ED and I need to give it all to Conspire because he is my BFF and Conspire did not write this for me because I was too distracted to. The best Void Princess in Korea considers me the best VP in Gaia, but I constantly put myself down because I am a derp like that. Also, I lag too much to even use the zz>z combo in PvP and like to hit people out of Conspire’s Energy Spurts with my lag. Lagger.
