My Adventures Through Legends Of Equestria July OSW - My opinion about the game

Hello my fellow brony and pegasister friends!!! ^3^
I've just came back from what was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my entire life!!! :3

 

I decided to play Legends Of Equestria on the 29th of July and boy, was that a fun and awesome game!!! ^3^

 

Out of the three days when the open server weekend was held, I managed to get around about 59 hours worth of gameplay and only 13 hours of sleep, which I think was pretty good, but also pretty tiring IMO :P:D <3

 

To those of you who don't know what Legends Of Equestria is, it's an MMO where you can get to create your very own pony OC and what's even better is that you can get to explore the world of Equestria as your Pony OC while interacting with other Bronies/ Pegasisters :3

 

I've noticed lot of people have been asking me as to what you do in that game and...well :P...you can do stuff like Missions/ Quests, which will give you additional bonuses to your Pony.

 

These bonuses can be like having a pet (which will deal additional damage when you are fighting against enemies), getting more EXP and stat boosts or even getting additional secret items for your Pony such as a Lantern (I'm not exactly sure what it does for your pony, but it looks really cool :/ :3)

 

In my opinon, Legends Of Equestria is a game about making new friends, having timeless/ memorable moments with your friends and about having fun with each-other as well as being in the world of Equestria as your Pony self :3

 

Legends Of Equestria has been a fan-Made MLP game that has been in development for quite a while now and they've only had OSW (open Server Weekends) for three days in order to see how the game functions before they cut the servers again for the next couple of months.

 

This was the first time that I've ever played Legends Of Equestria and the entire game-play blew my mind away. The music, the levels and the designs were absolutely amazing, but the game does seem to be suffering from A LOT of lag and a few glitches, buut that's just my opinion :P

 

If you think the idea of doing Quests/ Missions sounds a bit boring, don't worry...because LOE isn't just about a game about doing quests/ missions here and there. You can also fight enemies and some of these enemies will even attack you. The Enemy List goes as follows:

 

- Bee (Insert "Not the Bees" reference here X3)
- Timberwolf
- Diamond Dog
- Cockatrice
- Manticore
- Deer (It has a specific name in LOE, but I can't remember what it is :P)
- Lantern Monster
- Dragon (easily the toughest enemy in the game)
- Royal Guards (only if you attack them :P)

 

My assumption is that they may include more enemies to the game from now to December, but as far as the actual game-play goes, it looks like it is near to completion :3

 

As you defeat enemies, you gain valuable skills that can benefit you when you are fighting against stronger enemies, wheter it would be lowering the amount of damage taken from enemy attacks or getting stronger moves :3
Apart from getting EXP and stat boosts from defeating enemies, you can also get additional items (which you can use to sell) and bits by defeating them. Although the Dragon might be the toughest normal enemy in the game (apart from one paticular Royal Guard in Cantermore :P), if you manage to defeat them, you can get over 200 EXP and over 1500 bits by defeating them :3
You can use bits to buy yourself some accessories for your pony, whether it be armour (which increases your stats dramatically) or making you pony look more fashionable :pout: (Socks, Goggles, Hats etc.)

 

I've also listed all of the places that I've been to as I've played LOE:

 

- Ponydale (Ponyville)
- Cloudopilis (Cloudsdale)
- Heartlands
- Evershade (Everfree forest)
- The Mines
- Sugarcube Corner
- Crystal Empire

 

Apparently, when Legends of Equestria was still in development, they were also gonna be including Tartarus and from what I've heard, Tartarus was gonna be a place where banned users were gonna be sent to, but the reason why the Tartarus project was dropped was because of the amount of people who tried to (deliberately) ban themselves just to reach there :P

 

Lets just hope that Legends Of Equestria decides to bring back Tartarus back to the public so that we can explore the place and maybe even include some boss fights ;) <3

 

I could easily see an Ursa Minor, Discord, Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra and Tirek as bosses in that game O_O
In my Opinion, Legends Of Equestria is a game that has A LOT of potential in it and I cant wait for the game to be officially released in December :3

 

Out of all of the place I've been to in Legends Of Equestria, I like the Everfree forest the best. It is actually quite a soothing place with a lot of nice easter eggs like Zecora's Place and The Ancient Castle of the Two Sisters :3
Sugarcube Corner on the other hand, has got to be the BEST place I've ever visited in Legends Of Equestria. It has something called 'Ponyville FM', which is the pony equivalent of your usual radio stations X3 and it plays some really awesome music tracks, including some that I've never even heard of!!! ^3^ <3

 

I've got some music tracks that Sugarcube Corner played listed down here:

 

- 'Hard Cider' by Alikore
- 'Let your mane down' by D. notive
- 'Imbalance' (Squarehead Remix)
- 'Memory Lane' by Forest Rain
- 'Dream Mode' (beautifully abstract vocal cover) Eurobeat Brony ft. Odyssey
- 'Mush - Pegasus Device remix ft. Glaze'
- 'Make a wish' (uThunder and the Living Tombstone Remix) by Daniel Ingram
- 'This day Aria' (Korw Remix)

 

...and a whole lot more ;) <3

 

On a personal note, I'd like to thank all of my friends from the MLP forums who've decided to join me on what was the last Open Server Weekend before the games Full Release in December :) <3
...and I'm really sorry to those who couldn't make it or to those who didn't see me for whatever reason (I was in the Coltorado server :P), but I really hope that all of you can join me in December and I wish you guys all the best!!! ^3^ <3

 

So what's your opinon about Legends of Equestria? :)
Have you played the game already? ^3^ what kind of adventures/ moments did you have? :)
If you have any questions about the game (like 'how do I level up' or ' how do I sell stuff'), I'd be more than glad to answer them for you ;) <3

 

I'd love to hear from all of you my Brony/ Pegasister Friends and I hope to see you all again next time!!! ^3^ <3

 

Oh, and here's an extra video of my OC in it!!! ^3^ <3
(go to 24:40 of the video :3)

The reasons you mentioned are the same reason I disregard people's thoughts when they say "it's too glitchy". The glitches aren't really too bad. And it's not even all about the quests. It's about interacting and friends, and it helps me express my creativity by letting me be my OC. It does a perfect job of that, so I won't just toss it out because I can't finish a quest or am wearing a hundred hats. To me, the glitches are almost non-existent in the face of the fun, clean, friendly interactions and the expression of your creative side, as well as the emotional attachment I have to it for depicting MLP, which has changed my life, as well as helping me to get my mind off of all the things that cause strife and fear - which I never though would work so perfectly. :love:

 

To me, complaining about the game's glitches is being offered free gold and rejecting it because you want free crystal instead. LoE is perfect to me like crystal, but you know what I mean.

Who finds running or flying about randomly the best part? Cuz I do! Especially cantermore, it is the best place for flying, in my opinion

  Ooh! It's about friendship!??! It helps creativity?! Well, i'm sold! Those are both important things to me! I do worry about it becoming to heavily dependant on drops or constant fighting, because that's why I stopped playing Warcraft. I just seemed to get in a rut of constantly getting the next meaningless reward just so I could fight better to get more gear.

  ...Lantern Monster?  Huh... I have an OC species about that...

 Do like how the names of places are only tangentially related to MLP. So if Hasbro ever tosses a fit the game devolopers can always just shrug and go "Well... it's pony related." Tartarus though, seems a little too close. An' kinda dumb... seems like it'd be easier to just boot players if it came to that, rather than just having them log in to an immovable character in a cage. 

  Boss fights... those i'm interested in! I've often thought of my OCs like minibosses for a video game, if I could only remember now what that thread here about that was...
