We invite you to the Natural server
"Sense" and "feeling" is all in the game!
A new feeling, in a new way
We invite you to the Natural server
The new Natural server will be added for the sole purpose to play the fantasy golf game without the fantasy in the name. You play by your own judgment and feel as if it was a real golf game.
The GMs wants to invite 128 players to help beta test a new system (Pangya Championship) to report any bugs to fix. Players are to rush to the bulletin board posted by Titangboo to enter as first come first serve basis. The announcement has ended on a single day and the beta testers has already been selected. Unfortunately, I did not sign up in time because I was... in bed. I snooze, I lose. Some of you may have heard that a red fruit has been selected as a beta tester.
These testers will participate in the championship that will begin on August 31st through September 6th. On August 21st ~ 28th before the tournament starts, they will need to schedule a time to play a match against their opponent. The GMs mentioned the schedule could change without notice so testers are to check the site often for any further changes to the dates or features.
Now today, they have made another announcement about their upcoming release of the Natural server in beta mode available for everyone coming on the 20th. A reminder from the GMs that the schedule and times are subject to change. They have also announced what to expect from this new server. Remember, these effects are only active on the Natural server. Both Pipin and Quma servers will not have this effect.
1) There are two changes on the wind meter: angle sways consistently & hidden wind speed.
"Sense" and "feeling" is all in the game!
Angle Sways Consistently (Feeling)
Wind angles will constantly move back and forth when setting up your shot, and while the ball is in mid-air. Angle movement will vary that will either be close together or far apart. A wind angle can sway from 40~50 degrees while some cases it can go 10~40. Probably the best way is to find the middle of where the angle readings are moving back and forth. There are maybe other alternative methods, but you have to get the feel for it to get the right adjustments.
Hidden Wind Speed (Sense)
Instead of numbers, you are treated with three different colors to determine wind speed. The order from weakest to strongest are: green, yellow, and red. You have to sense how much power the wind is pushing depending on the color.
2) The amount of pangs earned in the natural server beta will be adjusted.
- Base Pang
This has increased to where a single Albatross score will net you a grand 200-210 pangs only. Pay attention to the score pang you receive on each hole to see the difference.
- Chip-in Pang
It doesn't matter how you chip, the pang you receive only matters on distance alone. So backspin or toma chip will give you the same amount of pang. Basically, stick with power shots for greater chance of chipping the hole. Pangs for chipping has been decreased for some odd reason.
3) Separate Records
Course records on natural server beta will have their own record list
4) Pangs earned on natural server beta will be carried over when it ends
5) You may use Family mode on natural server beta for practice.
The server layout will be changed as well during beta period. They will remove the rookie channel and the benefits on all servers. The new beginner channel is where both rookie and beginners can enter. So there will be 3 servers, with 4 channels each.
Pipin, Quma, and Natural Server
- Beginner Channel
- Intermediate Channel
- Free 1 Channel
- Free 2 Channel
