I've been checking their main page every so often because it was mentioned that there would be an update today on the Kamael.
Well, there you go. :D
It loads pretty slowly, and there's not much there if you don't speak Korean. It'll be translated soon though, I'm sure. In the meantime, we at least get a small taste of how they look and move in-game. They've also added some art.
[Edit: Turns out "Arbalester" is another word for crossbowman, I thought it was simply a made up word.]

It's an archaic word that really isn't used anymore. "arbaleste" is a French word for Crossbow, and refers to a late period heavy duty version that uses a steel 'bow'. Thus an arbalester is one who uses an arbeleste. (Or arbalist if the alternate spellings are correct from the online dictionary.)
If you played some RPG's you should have seen this weapon (name) used infrequently. Or more commonly if you played any paper RPG's. (Wizardry 8 has an arbaleste in it, and I think I've seen it mentioned in D&D and WHFRP.)
thanks for the info.. now only a litle longer clip of the 1/2 Angels and I would be happy.. and perhaps a translation. *hint* *hint* ;)
EDIT. Arbalest in swedish, is a giant crossbow thing that usally is on top of castle walls. Or the once you see people shoot dragons with in the movies ^^

BOO NCSOFT, BOOO! [censored] winged abominations >.< Get real will ya? Someone really should go and get rid of the current Devs, they're nothing but trouble. Messing with balance(lol, balance must be one class pwning all others), doing stupid winged abomination race updates and generally making [censored] patches that cause the game to work like [censored].
After the first 76 kamaels appear from the bot trains 5 weeks after T1, I bet that everyone and their mother will be crying for a huge nerf since they get owned so hard in pvp.
Hey look, I just teleported next to you, stole your buffs and then hit you like a gladi on crack.
If we're getting server v server warfare (as rumored) surely they'd have to create an additional PTS server........
Havent seen that, even whispered that, nor does the translation say that.
It says "clans & alliances" for Fortresses.
I'm still trying to figure out where everyone got that Nations = server wars, but whatever I guess.
"New fortress type battle added. 1st, pve type battle to kill all monsters inside fortress w/ clannies w/ 3~4 groups. 2nd, pvp type to take over fortress. Advantage for fortress is easy and quick battle, 24 hrs available, unlike castle siege. low lvls can participate too. New items will be added for fortress battle. Item reward for all players in battle, not just winners. New accessory items and etc are rewarded. Clan skill point rewarded."
seeing the amount of fortress's around in Aden if not server wars that is going to be a fluke as most servers, maybe not so on Bartz, Teon & Franz, have less active allainces on their server then fortress's..
hey maybe they will finally start offering that server transfer service which the Koreans have for awhile now or maybe even server mergers.. not likely but one can dream ^^"
Besides, what I said about blinking and Hero Fear is not complaining. Nor is the fact that some ppl will bot them up in a timely fashion. Stating facts =! complaining.
You've broken through the castle walls but u cant quite make it into the throne room because they have set up an almost invulnerable wall of damage. So your kamael cl runs up *blinks* and then hero fear everyone in the throne room and disarm them, then place your symbol on the statue (:
hell a party of 9 kamael could take a castle by running in and disarming everyone lol

Gotta remember, the last thought on the Korean's mind as they are developing this is "What about the NA market?!".
Woudnt be a issue on Korea, and frankly doubt it'll even be a issue in the NA Market either.
Even on lesser servers, there are far more then 32 active clans at a time.
If you do, you know the reason its not controled. (I did some research on that server when I came back since I found it odd too)
Answer: Puppyrawr!
It would have been taken several times over if they didnt step in and wack people who wanted it, just for some PvP :)
I play on Teon, and I've seen the NPC defenders not even mattering. And Teon is significantly younger than Erica.
And yes, there was PvP action too, mostly two sides with somewhat around 300 people on each side and almost all Heroes of the server fighting among them.

Did you miss my point? :X
Not about the NPC Defenders.
Since your on Teon, picture Exile in its prime. Now picture them interfearing with anyone who decided to siege Gludio for example.
Think any clan could have taken Gludio? Of course not.
Theres your answer on why Rune isnt controled on Erica. The single dominate alliance dosent wish it to be controled, and all the neutrals are way too scared to attempt anything about it.
But with Exile there's always been another force fighting it, and mostly they've left neutrals alone as long as their enemies are not involved in the fight in any way either.

I've seen Exile in its prime. I've seen them losing castles until they had not one left. No, there wasn't any time where they could have lock any castle they don't own against a determined attacker - because a siege doesn't happen in vacuum. If they tried that, they'd lose a bunch of own castles.

That's my point - Erica has too few dominant clans for one of them to take Rune.

Actually you made it sound as if Erica didnt have more then 32 clans because Rune wasnt taken.
Furthermore, we are talking Fortresses here, not a castle. Fortresses that can be battled 24/7, not on a time frame.
Erica's situation has absolutely nothing to do with dominant alliances. There are clans/alliances who could fight them.. if they'd quit being scared.
With that said, I still think your entirely wrong on Exile's behalf. Having fought them (the only one to ever red war them to my knowledge) they were extremely strong and could have easily wrecked havoc on anyone they so pleased at their prime. (Talking C2ish)

It sure as hell looks like they don't have even just 9 clans dominant enough to take a castle.

If you're to scared to fight, you're not dominant - you're the opposite, submissive.

Again, you havent played there. You havent even researched the server. Please stop talking as if you know whats going on over there.
If you're to scared to fight, you're not dominant - you're the opposite, submissive.
Just because your not dominant dosent mean your weak. Plenty of alliances across all servers arent "the top dog" but are strong enough in their own right to own any castle on the map. Pit them against the top dog however and you end up with a slaughter.
Does that make them submissive? Of course not, it makes them... smart. Instead of stupid. (I.e. dont get into situations where you could/will/for certain get rolled)
C2ish was when Teon just opened.
Yup :)
Maybe you were a slow leveler, but we all got off to a pretty fast start TBH.
Think C3 was when all the sh*t hit the fan and everyone started warring everyone. If you werent there, and werent fighting exile... then you've got absolutely no clue. (I dont remember anyone by that forum name, or you even posting on the boards at that time so who knows!)
............
To get back on topic, dont worry about it, all 32 Fortresses will be taken if the reward is decent enough across all NA servers without a problem.
If you're to scared to fight, you're not dominant - you're the opposite, submissive.
Just because your not dominant dosent mean your weak.
No. It makes you not dominant. And Erica has clearly too few dominant clans to own all castles.
Submissive clans don't count for sieges, no matter how strong they are.
Strength is nothing without the will to use it.
(...) Does that make them submissive? Of course not, it makes them... smart. Instead of stupid. (I.e. dont get into situations where you could/will/for certain get rolled)
I don't care how often I get "rolled" as long as I achieve my strategical objectives. I need 5 people to kill one of them? No problem, I'll just bring six people to everyone of the enemy, get rolled and still win. That's "smart". Not doing anything out of fear of retribution is not smart, just submissive.
I didn't fight Exile, really, just for a month at the start of C5, and got rolled quite a bit during the time. I don't care about the Big War and never did. So, no, I don't have any real first-hand experience with fighting for or against them. No need to really - the server's history is accessible to people who didn't participate in most of it, too. :)
(Similarly, I didn't participate in the second World War, but it doesn't mean I can't make informed comments about the time period and the forces involved)

Heh, so you've got absolutely no first hand experience fighting Exile, or the Erica server, but your trying to come off here as some sort of expert in the subject?
Grats guy, really pro. Anyone whos seriously fought Exile will tell you the exact same thing, they could have steamrolled anyone they wished. (Old school Pret especially)

- Not as an expert, but as someone who is informed about the politics and history of the server. Nothing more, nothing less.
- ... which I do with the same right and legitimation as a historian who does the same for, for example, the second World War he or she didn't participate in.

We're not talking about "steamrolling someone" - don't change the subject, please. We're talking about preventing a castle neither they nor any other PC fraction owns from being taken without any consequences to themselves. Which they weren't in a position to reliably do, ever.

Your the type that would likely argue with someone who was actually in WW2 as well. "No it happened this way!!1111" ... "Dude, I was there, sthu and sit down"

Entirely incorrect. There wasnt anyone who could challenge Exile. The first siege of Giran proved that. (Cake walk anyone?)
No one did take a castle that wasnt friendly with Exile either btw, so yes they were in a reliable position to do just that. (Unless you think its pure happenstance that no one who was fighting Exile had a castle at that time..)
I was fighting, I was there... were you? No? Good.
Your the type that would likely argue with someone who was actually in WW2 as well. "No it happened this way!!1111" ... "Dude, I was there, sthu and sit down"
Depends about what specifically. "Having been there" doesn't mean the person have any better idea about the political or strategical background than some arm-chair historian born after the event has, after all.

Wait ... so for example FearLess taking Dion didn't happen, according to you? Looking at Erica's Rune castle not being claimed for over 9 months now and claiming Exile could do the same when they wanted when they clearly didn't ...? :)

Fearless didnt take Dion, WE did. Get your facts straight if your going to claim to be a historian. (We being Paragon, FB being the lead clan in Paragon)
As to Exile not doing it, they did do it for a period of time, and could have kept doing it if they so had wished.
With you not having been there, you have absolutely no idea the plains both Exile and Horizon's had at the start of the server.
If MauluZ had wanted to be more of a [censored], there woudnt have been anyone in A grade that wasnt with Exile. You can take that to the bank. (Holding DVC/ToI on lockdown was extremely easy back then, and it was the plan for a little bit. See refrence: Gustin)
Fearless didnt take Dion, WE did. Get your facts straight if your going to claim to be a historian. (We being Paragon, FB being the lead clan in Paragon)
I do get my facts right:
The clan FearLess conquered and held the Dion castle until they got kicked out of it by the clan Caos on 2005-06-26. Fact?
Of course, both clans had other clans fighting both with and against them. I never said otherwise.
At which point did I claim to be a historian, BTW?

Ah, but we arrived at assumptions now, instead of facts. :) Fact is, they didn't manage to do it.
Fact also is, Erica doesn't have enough dominant clans for someone to claim Rune against the might of the few dominant clans they do have - for over nine months now.

Conquered from..who? ;) No one? It was a "free" castle when we left it, anyone could have taken it.
As to the historian comment, read this, it sure clearly suggests thats what your passing yourself off to be..

FACT is, your a newb who wasnt there, has no inside knowledge of the situation, and is just "guessing".

Someone did. That's how a conquest works, sometimes.
How is what I wrote not the fact?

You'd be wrong. I'm not suggesting anything. I'm stating a few facts which, in combination, serve to help my position.
Please, show me where I claimed to be a historian, or stop putting words into my mouth.

Fact also is, all you have is guessing, on all but the last point. So we're at the same level here. With the exception I'm not guessing, I'm stating facts - you do the guessing part.
On the other hand, there's no guessing involved to see that Erica has too few dominant clans to hold all castles. Everyone can see the facts.

Erm, how is it guessing when I was in Exile? When I was with Horizon's?
Thats facts little man, not guessing. I know exactly how the server was going to be. The issue is, MauluZ didnt want it to be that way, he wanted competition. Thus he pulled out of "the plan".
Go ahead, ask anyone who was there at the time, we all knew the plan since we had all agreed to it early on. (Lock down CT, move on to DVC/ToI, lock both down, split castles with Hz getting Aden, Pret getting Giran, etc)
Since I was there, and I was in on the plans, I think I'll take my knowledge of the situation over that of someone who only dreamed of being in our position. Thanks :)
MauluZ said he didn't want to go with the plan. Sometimes what people say and what people mean are two different things, as hard as it might be to believe.
Also, there is no 100% plan. Exile might have tried to lock down CT/DVC/ToI. They might have succeeded ... but they might also have failed. But that's speculation, and I don't deal with speculations.
"Illegal Forum chating detected... this is not a server cuddeling thread, but about CT1.
If you dont stop this instant I will have to pull out my goldenpadlock... hmm wait I am not a bordadmin."
Back to the topic about Erica, there are TONS of clans, I can find a clan in about a minute easily (trust me, I have quit so many times and then come back and then I ask for a clan and immediately get one. And this is all under lvl 55). The only reason why there is a predominant alliance is because all the hardcore players are mainly in one and in Lineage 2, levels and equipment basically mean everything unless a few level difference.
