    Oh wow, those are really nice artworks; excellent proportions and anatomy. Too bad I know german only a little bit and I guess you don't know english either? You kinda posted in the wrong section, since this is an english (aka international) board.


    Do you have any sort of online portfolio/blog/tumblr/whatever else? I'd be curious to see more of your art, if possible.

    Do they have trousers? o.O

    Fetishist shows. If Strike Witches are about different kind of panties (or none thereof), Vividred is all about different types of bloomers a female cast can wear. Rejoice cause that's preety much the sole reason why those shows exist in the first place.


    As for more "decent" anime recomendations... I'm not sure what suits your tastes. Last Exile was decent. Fractale was kinda... decent (or maybe just okay, kinda similiar to Jormungand in terms of bullshit levels, but still highly edible). If you're into zombies, Sanka Rea was a nice show with a decent twist (as long as you're capable to digest high ammounts of gratuitous fanservice). I'd highly recommend Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, though it's propably not a show for everyone. Same goes for Mushishi. Kure-nai was extremely good. Older watchers might take a look at Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera, which is incredibly good as well (as long as you like/understand it well; younger audience will remain completely oblivious to that show). Cashern Sins was a really captivating sci-fi post-apo. If you're into vintage, mystery, fantasy and suspense, you might want to pick Dantalian no Shoka and Gosick.


    There's really a lot to chose from and those are only the latest shows that aired either not long ago, or a while earlier. I stopped tracing all the current shows, since there's less and less good stuff coming out with every single new season. Might as well start watching older anime I missed, and I'd recommend you doing the same.

    Perhaps. On the other hand, some of us do know a lot about the gimmicks that basically govern the eastern audience and their highly infantile style of life that later on bears the works like Strike Witches etcetera. I won't comment on that, those are the differences that separate our cultures. But I mostly dislike when people try to pidgeonhole communities into the "east" and "west". In the end you'd see basically how little in the end separates us all as people.


    It's all a matter of taste in the end. It's good there's so many choices that can be made. But you'd still wish at times there would be more reason to Strike Witches other than just pantsu.


    Speaking of which, Operation Vividred is even way more childish.

    Blatant fanservice & lack of any decent story & character development. Actually, I'm seriously curious why shows like Strike Witches are born and exist within this plane of existence in the first place.


    In other words, that's Humikane Shimada for you. At times I wish he'd use his decent skills elsewhere than simply drawing (the term "producing" fits more though) new batches of similiar looking mecha musume and force them all to shamelessly expose their undewear later on, making the male audiance cry in awe on how many different kinds of panties this universe has.


    *facepalms*

    "K" is an artistical clusterfuck, nothing else. You can watch it if you really must, but you won't miss anything if you won't watch it. The anime itself is very mediocre (it has boobs and godly art though!); it had a couple of decent ideas, but I don't think the gals behind Studio GoHands (or whatever was it called) actually even tried to make it good.


    Same goes for Jormungand. It's a really good series in the beggining, with interesting and credible cast and gray and grey morality in general (or grey and black, to be honest), but as the show moves on, it starts to become less and less reasonable, to the point of actually losing all the credibility it built so hard in the beggining. You can still watch it though; it's a decent anime (as long as you won't focus that much on the small details and just enjoy the show).


    Anything based on Humikane Shimada's works should be avoided at all costs.

    Something similiar... Have you seen Tokyo Marble Chocolate? It's a short full-length animation, might be worth giving it a shot. Other works might include Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Ouran High School Host Club or perhaps Hotarubi no Mori e.

    Non-ping crashes are caused by memory issues. People with SSD's, a lot of ram and 64bit systems do not have those issues. TERA is a 32bit executable and can't adress more than 2GB's of RAM. It just runs out of memory to the point of crashing, especially on 32bit systems (like XP or any other 32bit versions of new 64bit systems) and machines with weak GPU's and small ammount of RAM.


    Rest of the random crashes is caused by skipped/unfixed/unknown bugs, mostly script-related.

    Ever tried to switch on LAA? With that you can allocate more memory for applications even on 32bit systems like XP, provided the /MAXMEM switch in your msconfig will be set for more than 2GB's (in other words, you need more than 2GB's of memory onboard, physically).


    A lot of issues TERA causes of 32bit systems is mainly because it can't allocate enough memory for itself, and it uses a lot (actually a lot more, than the system tells). When you have it capped at 3.25GB, from which ~1GB is being reserved for the system, you're left with not much left; it's not even enough for TERA to work properly, hence the (in)famous 32bit texture issue that happens in overtime.

    This event is a huge dissapointment. I went searching for the treasure chests straight for more than 3h. I went into many different areas, changed channels. Didn't found a SINGLE one. A lot of people, who did got them also said there's a huge propability you'll simply get a firework and nothing else. This is simply some kind of a cruel joke, especially when we know how much this event could help the economy right now.

    Ah, too bad then. On the other hand, it's fine, I guess; I'll have more time to prepare for the maid outfits and should be able to get them right on time :D


    As for the hotfix - excellent work, guys. That's the sort of response, we need in such cases.

    I received mine yesterday at 15:30. Those who didn't get them most propably didn't had the newsletter option enabled in their account settings. I doubt they will resend them, cause no one sends out the same newsletter twice, and each package seems to have an unique generated code.

    That's really nice, I guess. Hopefully, the chests will spawn quite often and reward players well, too; a good injection of alkahests/spellbinds and MW scrolls would help to reduce the overwhelming prices a bit. Too bad you didn't decided to include Manaya's Core into the increased dungeon drop rate table; it would help to reduce the prices of regent gear, as well.


    I'm really looking forward to everything, including the upcoming cash shop updates. Hopefully, I'l finallyl get my hands on those maid outfits :)

    Those transfers came kinda too late, as the queues completely dissapeared now and I won't be leaving a server, where all my friends, mates, guilds and people I know play. It might be a good chance for new players though - if they didn't liked playing on Killian, made their first character and want to seek for better opportunities - it's like going abroad for a better work; get a transfer - start with other newcomer players on Zuras or Balder. The economy there is propably fine and you'll get to play the game with other, similiary geared players.


    The rest will stay on their old servers; I'm not leaving all of my shit behind :D
