Currently Southeast Asia players are running Version 2.6 and we’re about to upgrade to Version 2.9 shortly after Granado Espada merges different worlds into two servers this Wednesday… Non-PK server will be called Rembrandt and PK server will be called Bach. But we’re behind. Waaay behind.
It’s always been that way.
The Koreans and Japanese are going (or maybe already are) on Version 3.0. For us, we have a lot of anticipating to do. From what I can gather, there seems to be a new Mayan map with a couple of new NPC characters to recruit later on. The Mayan girl looks so cool, she looks like an assassin. Check it out:
The video is really fast, but from what I can capture - there are lots of new costumes (shown below), stances, weapons and armours. And I also heard that AGI will play a big role in the future… unlike now, AGI depends on STR to deal damage (which explains why high AGI low STR characters have low damage) and that is about to change. Soon, characters with high AGI and low STR will have more oomph to their damages. Good news to all the Lisa, Grace Bernelli, Soho, Irawan, Gracielo and even scouts out there.
And now… onto costumes! This is always my favorite part. :D
Ele has a new costume change, that dress looks good. If it’s an Item Mall costume, I’ll probably get it.
It’s about time Grace Bernelli has a new costume change! I like her green one, but this one looks heaps better. Plus, check out her badass bayonet. Must be a new weapon.
Male fighter looks gaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!! Oh God! He looks like a disco Ah Beng. :P
Female fighter looks heaps better - sexier and a lot more revealing than her usual fare (other than her bikini, of course). The red looks good on her and it has a Mayan feel to it - to keep up with the new Mayan theme, I guess.
Again, another similar Mayan costume for the female musketeer. Why do girls get all the good costumes? I have a male scout and a male fighter with no new decent costumes to wear. *grumbles*
The female scout looks HOT! I love this costume… but too bad I have a male scout (whom I love dearly). Kim Hakkyu, please ask your team to come up with decent costumes for the males!
Nerghh… male wizard. At least he doesn’t look as bad as male fighter or male elementalist. Speaking of which, check out male elementalist… who might be the worst of the lot.
Edit: Er… I changed my mind. Male wizard looks gayer.
Really flamboyant, right? ;)
Hmm… I hope I didn’t miss anything. Now… onto hair!
Female fighter has a new ponytail! She looks adorable. I’ve always thought female fighter as a very serious air about her, and it’s about time she lightens up a bit.
Female musketeer also puts her hair up, only hers is a french twist. Awesome look on her… I want to get it.
Female scout. Does it not remind you of Storm from X-Men?! Her eyes, her skin tone and now her hair is Storm!
Reeeallly like her, no?
*gasp* Female elementalist cut off her long, wavy blond locks!! Awww….
This is not really hair costume, but a hat costume for female wizard. Erm… looks like a piece of cloth fell on her head and stayed there.
Well, that’s it! There are a bit more new costumes and such (especially NPC characters) that I did not show you guys. I figure there are enough pictures for a post. Maybe next time?
So when will Version 3.0 come out for Southeast Asia? No one will know, except IAH Games. I’m hoping REALLY soon, I’m so tired of always staying behind Koreans and Japanese. Another suggestion I have for the developers of Granado Espada is, from veteran to expert levels onwards, it’s hard to come upon high level weapons and armors. Why so stingy? Previously having 100 million vis was enough. Now everybody needs to have at least 1 Billion Vis in their accounts in order to “live” comfortably. Increase the drop rate at higher level (especially expert areas) please!!

huu.. genial esperemos pronto estas grandes actalizacones que sin duda daran mejor presencia yeah
kurono @ 19th Jan 2009
yes it look like storm. scout .. and the guyz look all gayz hehe ^^ like elem now and the musk girl…. w8 do u see lady gaga? look at her at her music vid poker face she’s look like female scout in real life hehehe
franzley @ 8th Feb 2009
Haha… yeah! Why do they make all the guys so gay?! Thank goodness they haven’t mutilated my beloved male scout yet… *knock on wood*
*LOL* I’ll say they all have that same glassy expression on their faces. :D Lady gaga indeed! Hahaha…
Elvawenn @ 8th Feb 2009
well.. ^^, how i wish that elem girl have long black hair and the wiz girl hope she have long hair than pony tale ( excited to know what is the outcome ^^,)
hope that they have a new character that can use pistol in right and bracelet in let hand (how i wish.. ^^,) and levitating elem.. rather than m’ boma
franzley @ 11th Feb 2009
Levitating elem = imba. ;D Last time elem used to have con 5, but they nerfed elem to have only con 4 now. Interesting idea you have there - it’ll be lovely to have a character with pistol and bracelet.
Are you playing on Singapore GE? Which server are you on?
Elvawenn @ 11th Feb 2009
yup I’m playing g.e. does Singapore and Philippines have same server? I’m from Rembrandt my name is rione there.. how about u? glad to see u there hopefully… ^^ what’s Ur main? I’m using wiz, scout,elm and u?
franzley @ 18th Feb 2009
well tnxs.. maybe it called pistol DE glacier (pistol with bracelet) hehe ^^ and double ice shot and outrage ice shot hehe…
does Singapore and Philippines have the same server? I’m from Rembrandt.. how about u?
but why elem go down too 4? but anyway elem is devastating so that why i go to elem,,, ^^,
franzley @ 18th Feb 2009
Hey! I’m from Rembrandt too. :D Specifically Carracci… but that’s history. I tried looking you up /profile rione but can’t find you… Anyway, I’m HeavenDust. :)
It’s hard to say what’s my main team, but I started off with fighter ele scout, then replaced ele with wiz because ele is just sooooooooo soft! T_T Died every second, I swear. And now that musks have outrage shot, I swapped my main team with two musks and a scout…. whoa… it does make a huge difference. It’s far easier to take down bosses now, but I’ll say ele has her own advantages too. She can be pretty scary. :)
I think Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines are sharing the same server. :) Not sure about Indonesia… maybe they’re in it too.
Elvawenn @ 18th Feb 2009
rembrandt rules ^^
well my place is almost in port of coimbra.. chanel 1 (sometimes 2) but mostly 1 if u want too se me i have friendster account frezeia_13@yahoo.com (well i open my account every m,t,w,st,s)if u want to add anyways my main is ele and wiz and scout so fragile but devastating attack ^^ but i love using know grace lisa and scout.,, in other account i have fairy bob hair.. i exchange it for my white vent i know its foolish thing to do but i love my ele dearly hehe^^….
franzley @ 17th Mar 2009
*LOL* It doesn’t matter - as long as you like your ele then splurge on ele. :D I got fallen angel wings for my male scout! Lovely! It’s kinda expensive at the moment though. T_T
Hmm… I don’t have a friendster account, at least I don’t think I do. If I did, there’s no one in it! *LOL* Just so much trouble to upkeep!
Hmm… I’ll look into Fairy Bob hair, it’s cute! ^_^
Ann @ 18th Mar 2009
well i like that wing … like in lineage II but black in color,, anyways.. do u see version 3.4 i want hellena like ele but more reveling.. hot.. ^^
franzley @ 18th Mar 2009
I haven’t been searching for GE costumes for so long… can you paste the URL here? :)
I tried Lineage II, but my goodness… I think GE spoiled me, the way I could just spam pots. *LOL* Other games seem slow now. Do you think so? Maybe it’s a good change…
Ann @ 19th Mar 2009
i guess but mostly lag hehe… i don’t know the url but u can search it in Google.. type costume of granado espada then there many of it… goodluck friend ^^
franzley @ 29th Mar 2009

Ann @ 29th Mar 2009

franzley @ 15th Apr 2009
well new version is coming know i hate hellena for a 9 int then a new skill than elem huhu ^^ well i wish elem have new set of skill powerful than domi stance like a fourth stance next to domination.. maybe it can be called the supreme hehehe well i hope and wish hakkyu kim pls ^^
franzley @ 15th May 2009
i have friendster account add me guyz frezeia_13@yahoo.com ^^
franzley @ 15th May 2009
Franzley, if I have a friendster account, I would. I’m never one for those friendster, myspace or facebook kinda girl.
OH!!! New costumes are out! I’m so pleased with the Le Scarce range, elementalist looks so hot in it. I bought the entire set for my beloved musketeers and ele, PLUS, I’m even more ecstatic about Cronian Thanatos for my male scout. He’s now at Expert Level 10, all maxed out. I’m just waiting for the level cap to be lifted so he can become the first Master. *woot!* But yeah, as I was saying, male scouts are sadly mostly ignored. Other than oiled body there isn’t any other decent costumes for him.
You seem to have more knowledge about elementalist than I do, so I have a question. I always see people with elementalist fighting in Evocation stance with each hit 1000+. I have a +4 Elite Skullic Bracer with decent stats and +5 Elite Bracelet of Leviathan (Ice), also with good stats (nothing AR, though) and the hits NEVER reach 1000+ per ele’s hand in Evocation. Only when I use Bracelet of Ziz (Lightning), I can reach 1k. What gives? What are other people using that are so bloody powerful? Black or White Bishop bracelet?
Anyway, even if they are using Black or White Bishop it’s so crazy expensive right now - I don’t even see them in Market Manager, so they must be insanely expensive. Think 1 or 2 billion vis, maybe. Arggh!
Ann @ 17th May 2009
well… male scout is cuter in his cronian costume (like macho dancer in a gay bar) just joking
well for ur question im not so good to know what they have for their elem if i fought or see something new in my eye’s i always ask what that kind of bracelet or weapon.. please don’t misunderstood.. really im not a weapon addict, I’m a obsesses for the costume they have hehe now i have Le scarce and la ventisca,, le scarce for elem is a gorgeous, she’s a hot princess walking and running all over the town ^^..
and w8 for ur concern again i think evo is weaker than domi i think people like evo just because of its absolute zero and chain lightning coz it have high speed cast than domi… apparenty domi is effective if u have the right time to summon it
then if u have wiz they were good team like mine ^^
anathema and domi or just use apocalypse or web to stop a sec the skill of ur foe. then use the skill of ur ele.. lord elem or anything what u want to kill ur opponent and maybe the hit riches 1000+ coz they have ring for it. well i have ring for domi + 1 all skill of lightning but i saw on domi of lightning thunder frenzy if im not mistaken level 11 give 1770 attack but in domi of fire vol erup have 1800+ level 10 so i’m frustrated why anyways ,, ^^ hehe..
for black and white bishop is that lord elem brace ? or just like skulic brace? if they where look like it maybe if i have that i would not sell it or even u coz its unique to have well..expensive to do as well
what is your team up now? well i use previously wiz elem and scout but im getting tired of it, so im leaving up fighter and musk to have an outrage and sight a wow stance i saw.. hehe ,…and i think u like ur musk for that ^^
well i hope elem have a new set of skill and wiz.. they are good class or i should say a powerful class if they dont have weaker defense huhu ^^
franzley @ 21st May 2009
Macho dancer in a gay bar? Take that back! *Elemental Strife your ass* Haha.. just kidding. He’s really smokin’ hot though.
Mmm.. my ele right now is Expert Level 3, around 40%, she still has a long way to go. I agree, Le Scarce on ele is phenomenal. My entire team is wearing Le Scarce. Hmm.. you’re a fan of domination stance, aren’t you? ;) I was actually referring to AFK mode, I’m so lazy to actively play nowadays. :P Haha, yes I’m guilty of laziness. :D
I really believe they’re using Black or White Bishop - and if not, their elementalists must be higher level than I thought.
What level is your team now? You’re using Fighter, Musk and Ele, is it? Whoa, no scout. ^_^
Eh.. my family… I started out with Fighter, Wiz and Scout… but they level so slowly and are no good against boss fights, so when Outrage Shot came out, it’s just too good to pass up. So now I have a couple of musketeers and swap between Scout and Ele. Outrage Shot really is godsend, though it seems after the initial OS mania wore off, a lot of people are being smart and also train their tankers. When my hubby asked some people for help to take down a particularly nasty boss, they asked him if he has tanker or not - he doesn’t, so they brought theirs. It was pretty thoughtful.
Ele is always worth the trouble, so never give her up! Wizard too, I have a nagging feeling they’ll change something about Wizards in the future since they’re dropping in popularity.
Ann @ 22nd May 2009
well i hope so….wiz and elem have something new in the future…
my team is level 2 then im leveling Romina, fighter, and musk ^^ then cath ^^ for boosting up the lowbies well how much in ur mm the crystal wings? its beautiful in elem right? like an angel with a huge boobs ^^ lolz ^^
know what i have something in my mind i like to change the gender of my male wiz to female why? to merry my lorch hehe ^^ my wiz is gay i dont know why although we both have the same face joke ^^ if your given to change your identity(face) who would you be?
me.. maybe to be viki or ramiro there cute or even kevin zegers ^^
franzley @ 1st Jun 2009
Level 2? Vet Level 2, or Expert Level 2? As for Crystal Wings, not sure, but it’s pretty hefty, I think. Around 70mil? I won’t buy it just yet… I’ll wait for the price to drop first.
*LOL* Good idea… change your male wiz to female. I have a female wiz myself, sad to say the only thing I don’t really like about wizards is the lack of outfits for them.
Hmm… face. Lemme see. Selva? Oooh… Calyce! She’s pretty hot. In an immature way. *shrugs* In the end I think I’ll settle on Selva. :)
