Albatross18 is a golf-game with an arcade feeling. They are out of beta now and the game simply rocks.

...and? Kind of a sparse opening post. :\

That said:

Collectively, we fail at the putting.

This game reminds me of ASDF except with Golf.

I caved in and spent the 9.95 USD to have enough cookies (cash shop points) to buy one of the characters in a cash shop set.

Only in games can you golf in heels.

So I went and spent another 9.95 for a Hat and two items. Pang Mastery (all earned Pang is doubled) and some Aquarius Ball. So I'm messin around with Saka and Juan, saying how I wish I had a PangYa, well I got my wish.

Which followed with one supar win on that hole.

Where Lace bought a girl, I bought Max, who is pimped and has tons of power. We also played 18 holes, and we took a few hours =p

Last 9.95 I dropped for better golf clubs and some glasses. Cecilia now has everything she could possibly use for maximum GOOD stats (which is good because I don't want to drop another 10 for stuff). Yeah I'm addicted to this game ._.

I'm getting slightly better, after the second or so day of playing this thing. I'm starting to keep tracks of my Eagles.

So far I've gotten 4 more (for a grand total of five Eagles)

Two were on the exact same hole, but different times through (as noted by the glasses on the other eagle).

Tournament play is a great way to earn Pang if you are good at getting Eagles / Birdies, or have a Phoenix Ball. If you come in first place you'll get a ton of experience, but with most of the tournaments out there it's kind of hard unless you get in a rookie game.

Tournament mode is also the only way to have more than four players playing. You need a minimum of four, and can have up to thirty playing at the same time. The only thing is you are limited by time, and might have to wait on players if you finish early.

Aside from a few frustrating courses and some bugs, this is a very good golf game. I'm looking forward to Season 2 of Pangya, based on screenshots and videos of how fluid things work.

Downloaded the game to check it out.
To my suprise this game is actually quite fun.
Hope to play with you guys sometimes.

thanbks alot for the info. looks hella fun

Ive been playing this game for the past 3 weeks and man is it addictive. At first me and my friend scoffed at the idea of having to pay for cookies, but one week in I spent $20. Just this week I spent another $50, I guess Im a sucker. The game is really fun though, and Im waiting for the new characters from the asian servers to come out over here, Kooh and Arin.

quite. i wonder what happend to ASDF. i started to get pretty good at the game and just quit.

well this game looks really fun. downloading right now
IGN - dhsu87

ASDF got cancelled. Me and Juan still go in therapy for that - we used to be sooo good at the game :(

This game is too addicting in all its simplicity. Yesterday I finally plunked down BIG BUX (not really) and bought a dress for Hana. I decided to spend monies because it turns out the clothes I wanted all have supar level requirements (SENIOR C FOR A SHIRT WHAT).

If I get to Beginner E and above I might drop down some actual money to buy Tiki ;_;

do you guys mind if i add you to my friends list?
and can someone compile an IGN nick list in the first post?

since, it might be some work, i've compiled it thus far (by alphabetical order):
booboocat - dhsu87
Grawl - Grawl
Lacerta - Lacechan
Sakabadger - Saka

sorry if i missed anyone

Add away at any time.

Maybe sometime we can even organize a tournament!

Oh yeah forgot to put my IGN on silly me ;_;.
IGN: ShiniChan.

I'm (Horn) (Star)

Yea i paid money to have a cool symbol

What in the world could you have spent $70 on? I could barely think of ways to use up my $30 (might go to $35 because I noticed I forgot some gloves, which I would have probably bought if I knew they existed ._. ).

Did you outfit everyone with the best stuff or something?

Hey guys, just for random kicks:

#pangya @ irc.xelium.net

If it works out allright then we can go there and plan games, chat, and lament on how bad we blew over par on that one course.

My first Hole in One, on a bitch of a hole at that ;_;

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4913/pangya0325lo.jpg

Another Hole in One, this was pure luck perhaps? (Didn't use any power shots and it barely spun in)

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2...ngya0359px.jpg

hey dudes,

this game looks quite appealing but i noticed alot of ppl here use cash to upgrade their character. it reeks a bit like the way gunbound does it. are cash items balanced with normal Pang items?

Yeah, we're just lazy and don't want to save up all of the pang you'd normally need to get the regular pang itamz.

I spent $10 today, I put in my bit for server upkeep :<

I'm PancakeKitty... I shoulda played more SuperMonkeyBallGolf cuz i blow..

Damn, i suck at Pangya XD

The only unbalancedness so far are the golf clubs, that is because the two Pang golf clubs haven't been released yet (but they blow the cookie versions out of the water).

Some cookie items are better than the normal pang items by only one stat, but aside from the few that are it's mostly just a looks thing or for the extremists who demand 30 control instead of 29.

This Thursday a new character is coming out, for those who care about updates.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/1023/kooh6ro.jpg

Her name is Kooh, she costs 29000 Pang (not sure about the cookie item set prices) and her base stats are:
PWR - 10
CTR - 11
ACC - 4
SPN - 3
CRV - 1

With the power of Cecilia and the control of Scout/Hana, this opens some possibilities on how to develop her.

Wow, itll only take me about 5 years that make that much $$$'s

Double Post:
Yay! Hit my First Hole in One on Lagoon 2

and an Eagle on North Wiz hole #10


^^



the only thing i dont like about this is.... the lack of english players... I hate match play only to end up with a non english speaker that i can plan a hole with.

Lack of english players? I'm played with mostly english players so far. ;_; (At least speaking english correctly)

the game is filled with koreans chinamen and mexicans

I started giving this a shot last night and it really is lots of fun. At the moment I am not all that great but I am slowly getting into the swing of things.

Username - DrDr

Does this play anything like Hot Shots Golf from the PS?

Either way, I may give it a go. An online golf game sounds fun. :3

Well I didn't try the PS3 version yet.

Or PSX/PS2? ;_;

I used to play this a lot awhile back, it reminded me a lot of Hot Shots and it was fun. Eventually I stopped mainly because they had this annoying disconnect bug where you'd play about 1 shot and get disconnected the next, everyone would lag out and such...very annoying. Does anyone get that problem now, I'm guessing they fixed it by now.

But my nick was: Wakatu

Depends on your connection, though unfortunately lag outs/disconnects are still somewhat common (Kari disconnects like every three games).

I suppose it'll be fixed by the time they implement Pangya Season 2 here.

Just a reminder for anyone who doesn't check the Albatross18 website:

Also as a reminder, be sure to sign up for the World Cup Tournament if you wish, signups will close after 800 people have registered.

Holy crap, you're still alive!

I agree the game feels a lot like Hot Shots, though from the few rounds I've played so far it feels a bit easier. Do you guys tend to do your swinging by clicking the right mouse button or using the spacebar?

Also, using RacinReaver in the game.

I generally use the space bar, it's easier for me to get the inputs that way and I guess I just time it better with that and argh I couldn't sign up to that tournament... ah well.

Zomg RR, you nerd! Ya pretty much still alive, busy with work and stuff =p

This game is great to relax, most of the people I played with are extremely nice and helpful. It's funny how you play a game and 3 of the guys do tomahawks, and then when it's your turn you hit a plain pangya...so shamed, even do I have no idea how to do a tomahawk. So far I haven't got the disconnection problems even after playing a 18 hole game, which is great. The new character additions look great along with some new caddies.

Tried to sign up for the tourney thing... late anyways.

This game is awesome. I've played it for a bit and now i'm hooked :)
Not willing to spend any real money on it yet though, maybe later :p
Like Wakatu said, the ppl are extremely nice and helpful. I've never expected this... thought the only conversation I was going to have either involved crushing my noobness or lot's of l33t talk, like you see in Gunbound or Gunz :p

My nick is ApOc_1985

Today's update brings us exclusive items that cost cookies, for those of us who dump our life savings into this game, or something.

Every player basically gets some army camo gear. A top, bottom, and hat.


http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1...popup018jm.jpg

The image is misleading, these items are on sale (10% off) for one week, as stated, just ending June 1st and not July. We speculate the items will stop being sold on July 1st though.

As far as stats go, they are your basic +1 power +2 slot (top), +1 control +3 slot (bottom), +1 spin +1 slot (hat) type gears.

Check this out guys.

It seems Nintendo Wii will get a Pangya game, named Super Swing Golf Pangya. Screens are currently unavailable as only little information has been released.

Well that sucks. I liked the cute design for the characters but instead they go for the realistic look. Not that Kasumi is bad, the game has grown on me in it's current form.

Well that sucks even more, this game just screams online play. I mean, what stops them from charging cookies for this game? Nintendo stated before that it doesn't control any form of fees or charge as it's for the developer to decide.
So if the deal goes on they will create downloadable content. Without multiplayer it would be pretty silly though. The game's coming early 2006/late 2007 so they have plenty of time to think it over.

So how is this game going to be any different from the inevitable Mario Golf which is going to come out? All the Mario one would have to do is put on Online play and there'll be no decision in which game to buy.

Mario Golf doesn't have loli sluts?

I just signed up last night - Tasty

I've tried playing this game, but I too suffer from a lousy connection. Lagging out every other whole is not a good way to start off.

Would anyone happen to know the ports so I can forward it on my router?

Well that's what the official FAQ says. I too didn't have to open ports with router :)

Hmm, thanks for pointing out the official FAQ.
But even though I've opened the ports, there's still a bad connection when I play. I hope this isn't only me.

Nice and fun. I'm playing as well, got my first hole in one today! Nick is the same as on GF. Hope we'll see each other on a battle field, I mean the golf course ;]

Season two will start on August 3 =oooo Everyone who logs in gets 20 free cookies too.

YET STILL NO ANNOUNCEMENT OF ARIN (just "future release sometime")

So aside from a teaser at www.pangya.com about season 3, here are a few other videos.

General Gameplay
New User Interface
World Chat (looks like it'll be laggy)

Various animations of the new character, Kaz:
HIO
Shot Watching
Birdie
Par

There are various other things going on in season 3, aside from a name change to Pangya REVOLUTION, you can also combine items and come out with completely different items. They are also adding mascots which will probably add on to the bonuses you already get from caddies.

There are also scratch cards which give you items, but they might be cookie cost, since some of the items you get are cookie priced.

You can now patch Pangya to season 2. Servers are still down though.

Today's the BIG Day for Albatross18! Here is a list of all the addtions to this update:

* New Interface - The Season Two GUI is now here!
* Silvia Cannon - Attention on deck! A new AAA course to challenge your golfing skills!
* SE-93 After Burner Club Set - New clubs utilizing the same technology found in the engine boosters of Silvia Cannon!
* Hairdye - Tons of New Hairdyes are now available for each character! Add style to your golfing attire! Sure, that's an oxymoron in normal golf, but not in Albatross18!
* Coupon Giveaway - The first time a player logs in during August 3 - 16th, they're given a FREE coupon for 20 Cookies off any Cookie item.


I'm already going to probably shell out the $ to makeup for the difference in the SE-93 After Burners (cookie clubs sadly), and maybe fiddle with a dye or two.

Oh, hey, I should've looked for this earlier.

I go by the name Rockdan on there. I'm a Junior E now, I usually play as Cecilia, but I occasionally break Scout back out. I mostly play tourneys, because I don't like sitting and waiting around. If any of you add me to your buddy list, let me know who you are/that you are from here so I am not confused.

I've played a lot of Pangya! This game is nice and I don't now jow keeps you wanting more, I think that's the first MMO that really got into me.

But I'm trying to get the client for the japanese version, because the one in my country has only season 1, and the JAP version has lots of bonus. If anyone knows where to download it ... (I've tried at the japanese site, of course, but everytime I go there it says I should came back later to get the client).

One of the Wii trailers now has some clips from Pangya in it. It looks just like the PC version :)

My PC has been down for months now :(

I primarily played on the Japanese Client.

I can't believe I forgot to check GFF for Pangya players for so long. I've been itching to play this lately, but my friends I usually play with have been too busy and out of contact.

So, add me to the list. My game name is:

chanic

Also, I too really miss ASDF.

MetalSphere posted a link to a Wii article in reference to Zelda information. However, turns out the article also had some info on Pangya.

IGN's Wii Article

The article also has their Pangya for the Wii page linked as well. Currently contains a blurb of information, 2 videos, and 40 images.

So its not a port, but instead the single player version of the game, compelte with storylines and the like. I fathom there will be a multi-player mode for having friend over and the sort. Looking good so far~!

The link to IGN's Pangya stuff

So I got Arin, her outfits are kind of crappy right now, I'm hoping they either give her a swimsuit or a cute sweater in the next week or two.

The developers sure put a lot of detail into her breast physics, compared to Cecilia anyway.

Cecilia's been around forever. Arin is the newest available character. Although they are about to release a new one with season 3. Speaking of which, you can see him, a new course, new powershot technique, and a couple other things in this Teaser Season 3 Video from youtube.

Deep Inferno, New Course Demo

Gameplay from Season 3

More outfits will come for Arin. Theres already quite a few for her on the Japanese Client.

I might've gone and bought Arin if more came out with her initially, i.e., some pang pants. But for now I'll stick with Cecilia, maybe buy another character, or actually try a new caddie.

I'm one of the few that got Uncle Bob. Sure, his stats really aren't that great, but there's just something fitting about a middle-aged heavy-set guy playing golf. Plus some of his animations are great.

UNCLE BOB

CAN I PLAY WITH YOU

I vote Silvia Cannon for the best course EVAR.

Only if you don't mind me saying "Who's your uncle?" whenever I make a good shot.

I tried this yesterday. It was fun for a few hours, but then I got bored... :o
The graphics are are nice and stuff, but you kinda do the same stuff over and over again...

Also, getting Pang money is hard :(

How to people get 29K Pang money fast...?

Well, golf is kind of monotonous. That's just how it is. :(

There are a few ways to get a lot of pang: play a LOT (even last place finishes get a completion bonus of pang), win a lot of games (9- and 18- hole games on hard courses give good pang, especially if you have 4 players), buy a phoenix ball and hit pangya a lot, do a lot of good shots (eagles, albatrosses, HIOs), or try that new Battle mode.

Basically, you gotta play a bunch. ;(

There is one other thing you can do, though: If you purchase a character (like Kooh) with cookies or pang then purchase them again in a character set (like Kooh's swimsuit set), you get reimbursed the pang value of that character (Kooh is 29k). Fast way to get pang, but it'll cost ya a bit.

It's all in the chip-ins.

Pang Mastery and Phoenix Balls don't hurt either.

Well crap. I don't know if I'll actually be able to play with you guys or not. Hopefully my school connection won't be too bad in the future, but I have my doubts.

It can't be as bad as the internet over here.

Sup every port blocked except port 80 :(

Luckily I am only on campus for 4 hours at the most, and at a time when everyone is usually in class or sleeping, so it's no big deal to me.

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/9...ngya001ok1.jpg

Yeah I don't know how it happened either, although I didn't get quite as much pang as I expected to get.

My laptop randomly craps out on me now, probably because I have too many tasks running in the background while I play. Or maybe it's due to having no real graphics card (just some intel onboard stuff) and too much going on in Pangya means death. It's not that much of a bother, I just liked having the portability of taking my game anywhere around the house with me incase I got called to go elsewhere.

Disappointed that Arin didn't get a cookie set, and I hope that she at least gets one on Thursday when they do the updates. Although it would have been nice to see her get a swimsuit and not be the odd player out, I guess there is always next year.

Just picked up Pangya again and got my roommate playing. I bought Kooh today, and am really close to being out of Rookie rank (ROOKIE A D:).

I'm getting tons better with tomas :D But my putting skill has suffered.

Additional Post

FIRST HOLE IN ONE YES XD

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...r/firsthio.jpg

It was a tied match and the other team had more pang, that HIO ended the match with a VICTORY :D

I used the ticker to announce the HIO, and there were quite a few people who replied on the ticker, too XD It was awesome.

This thursday expect some updates~~~

The SY-178 Afterburners (Red flames & Pang Cost)
Aqua Jinx Set (Cookie outfit for Arin, most likely the one in her profile)
Outfits for Scout & Kooh (pang maybe?)

Since Silvia Cannon came out, the only course I've got a new record on is... Silvia Cannon. I'm in a slump.

I do have 55,000 pang though, and I'm not sure what to spend it on. I use Cecilia with +3 power/+3 control pants/shirt, and a power+1 shoes I think. Any new clothes with better stats for her would require me to gain a level or two. My other thoughts are switching characters, but then I noticed most of the other characters would require me to get to Junior B before I can equip anything decent too. So I've been looking at caddies, but I don't know how the salary works. Has anyone bought a caddie that can explain that to me?

The salary is the required monthly pang upkeep for them.

The initial payment (aka the huge one) covers the first month for you (yes time will go by even if you aren't using them, it's real time :p) then after that you can choose to pay the salary or not. If you don't they go on vacation (more like run away from you) until you decide to cough up their salary then they are yours again for another month.

The salary payment is optional so it is not like your caddies will sap away at your income for the rest of eternity or anything.

Oh, thank god I don't have to make an initial payment if I forget the salary. That was what I was most worried about.

Now, I am wondering if I should get Brie or Titanboo. I only have 18 control, so Titanboo would just give me more power and less accuracy, but Brie would up both control and accuracy. I think Brie's the better choice.

Titanboo's +2 control compensates for his +2 power, so I see it as a way to boost power without having to actually sacrifice any other stats. If your power is already satisfactory, then Brie's probably the way to go.

Both of them are Senior only though, so it'll be a while before I can even bother thinking about getting them. ;(

Oh crap, senior only? dwojfoijgo I need to stop playing just tournaments.

What time are most of the GFF member on Albatross18? I might see ya in the game when I happen to be playing at the same time.

So Arin is now currently cookie-purchasable at a price of 204 cookies. This includes Arin, the Aqua Sorceress Dress, and the Aqua Jinx shoes. What sux is that it doesn't include the gloves and THE HAT, which add another 113 cookies to the cost.

Sux!

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/4...ngya002nf7.jpg
sup.

Spent 20bux getting that and the maid headband (ABOUT FREAKING TIME) for Kooh. Used my 32k pang from purchasing Arin (since I already had her) to fully upgrade my afterburners ~

Yea, I'm finally hype about the cookie set now. At last, I can get my 32k pang back!

I just need to get both her hat and glove in order to have the complate set. But as you can see in the screenshot, I ran out of cookies and I'm running late for work as I type this...

I'll get them after work.

I want Arin's hair dye and her black dress set in. Then I'll be forced to blow MORE money on cookies.

Assuming nothing goes terribly horribly wrong, this week's update is not a content update but a double pang weekend.

Here's hoping it goes fine~

I won my first tournament today holycrap. Either people really sucked or I was doing exceptionally well. Probably the former.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...pangya_008.jpg

Not only was it my first 1st place victory, it was my first trophy. I'm psyched :D

Today I was playing against a 'Rookie F', who was playing his very first match. He had no problems pulling of a Tomahawk Backspin, hitting Pangya almost every shot and adjusting the shot to the wind.

At the very last hole he did another TH BS, but missed the hole. He probably thought he could win (and so did I), until...

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/6...ngya130ud1.jpg

Nice shot! (lol)

I think my longest chip in has only been like 60-something yards. Still no albas or HIOs either (came within 0.22y though) ;_;

The only HIO I did was during a tournament, so no one saw me make it =(

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/6...ngya008ip9.jpg

Ain't no thang.

Those type of chip-ins are quite rare since it's hard to measure for a non-tomahawk non-powerspin chip.

Most of those non PS/Toma/cobra chips are quite awesome to watch. Nice job.

This is the best shot I've ever made and probably will ever make (at least for a while to come):

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/6089/pangya009hr7.jpg

I was too surprised to really screencap nicely. Oh well!

Ya don't worry I screencapped it for you :biggrin:
http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/135/pangya097ql5.jpg

That's pretty awesome for your first HIO I must say, especially on something as dastardly as White Wiz 9.

(The wind was 1m, incase anyone cared).

Man, I wish I could play so much! :(

Awesome shots you guys. I've never gotten anything really amazing. I guess my greatest achievement was a 40.69 yd putt, which I know isn't that amazing because I've seen people with 45 yd putts.

This is becoming the "lol look at our HIOs" topic.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...pangya_022.jpg

Allow me to contribute XD

h8 u for it :(

Anyway, wow the week sure blazes by fast, eh? Thursday is already coming up which means update week, and word on the street (and on MySpace Insider) is that this week's update is none other than West Wiz, the "holy crap I can't believe it's so easy" version of Wiz Wiz.

There will probably be clothing updates for whoever hasn't gotten any clothes recently (Hana comes to mind)

Updates for today:

Introduction of West Wiz (the notice image actually says Wiz Wiz though...)
New clothes for Bob (makes him look like a lumberjack/alpine climber)
New clothes for Max (who even cares)

and that's it.

/wrist

Also, this was depressing:

http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9880/pangya013dj8.jpg

(it stayed like that for at least a minute... never went in)

I missed an albatross on hole 7 of Blue Lagoon with that same glitch. I did backspin, it stopped at .11 from the hole and just sat there for a minute. I was very disappointed.

HEY! >=O

The lack of Arin dyes makes me a sad panda ;_;

West Wiz is cool though.

Lumberjack clothes for Bob? I must give these serious consideration. It's not every day you have a perfectly sensible reason to shout "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok!" in a video game.

Well, not QUITE a lumberjack... but he's got the 'stache, anyway:

I hate Uncle Bob. He adds a creepy undertone to everything.

Hi, kids. It's me, your Uncle Bob. I'm your faaaavorite uncle. Please, change my pants for me! It will give me more control.

LONG HAVE I WAITED FOR THIS

THEY WILL BE PURCHASED FURIOUSLY

And meanwhile, apparently Ntreev thinks bloomers look really good

Wow. I've been playing Pangya for a while... in Korean.

Didn't know it was in English. XD

If I had known, I would've never quit.

Holy crap. That's a lot of stuff.

FREE hat? FREE phoenixes? Double exp item? WOAH.

GONNA PLAY ALLLL DAY

Rank channels? ABOUT TIME. Rookie/beginner only tourneys were getting far too plentiful.

I haven't actually played the game in a couple weeks though, as my computer has been out of commission, and I've been relying on computers of friends and computer labs.

Started to play this game again. Leveled my char up to Beginner C, got the halloween hat, bought myself candy and bought myself Arin.

Candy is per hole and not per game so that's kind of sux @ the 5 USD price tag on those suckers.

Then again, 3 first place wins @ 4P 18H games will probably justify that price tag.

ARE YOU CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO WIN THREE TIMES?!

Also I put the one free Jack-O-Pumpkin on Kooh, and now she looks lopsided. It's probably all that hair.

Huzzah! Uncle Bob rides again!

I finished a full 18 holes of pangya today, so I think I can play with you guys now. Too bad this glorious return was made on Silvia Cannon, so it wasn't so... glorious.

Edit: Yes! Successfully played through a full 4-player 18 hole round today with Juanzen, Lacerta, and a non-GFF friend of mine.

BOB IS BACK!

So I finally caved and downloaded the game again to give it another shot after constant trash talking about it my first time(I sucked big, so the game sucked heh). After a few days of playing I caved again and decided to spend some money to get myself a sexy character, Cecilia(or as Juan would put it, whore). Anyone happen to still play or I am too late and this is a thing of the past? Oh and also...

Why couldn't you have gotten another outfit >:E

Because professor sucks >:E (Might get China Doll~)

Get rid of that hat and get the jade pin and a nurse cap or something. Cecilia has so much crap you can stick on her head it's crazy.

You know I'm going to get those Kooh clothes ASAP. Not too sure about the Twin Feathers, they are pretty and all that, and offer more power and accuracy than the Afterburners, but that's about it.

Not too happy about having to upgrade more clubs lol.

Been playing a bit more now, dumped a few more money into the game to get a few outfits for fun and some phoenix and pang mastery. I'm now known as that fake pr0 in the rookie channel with all my gear on :cool:

Also got myself a new hat like you said Saka >:E (along with a random wardrobe).

http://webpages.charter.net/diabloslayer/pangya_025.jpg



AM I PRO YET?

Not until you can accomplish this with all courses being -15 or lower.

Exceptions will be permitted on Silvia Cannon.

Hi all, I'm new at this forum!
I saw this topic and I decided to post a reply, so maybe I could play with someone later :D

my name is [B2B]Vytaan in-game
I'm an Amateur D (woops I said E before) :3

Hope to see you in-game!

Amateur E huh :3

So what Caddie do you use?

At the moment... PAPEL hahahaha :biggrin:

I got brie though, but I can't pay her salary because I wasted all my pang on that stupid papel lottery :doh:

Drop by the IRC channel, we're #pangya in irc.xelium.net

We're always idling though, so don't be surprised if nobody talks :B It's usually where we organize games.

Okay, I assume you guys are all at the #gfchat? Or is there a seperate channel for the Albatross18 players?

Most of us are in #gfchat, but we actually do the organizing in the #pangya channel.

Or #rtfo.

#rtfo has some A18 discussion, but it's also where a bunch of RO players hang out -- might not really be the best place to organize a game. Still, the company is welcome!

As mentioned, #pangya will be your best bet for getting a game together. Ops given freely!

Eh. Guild system is something we'll have to see how it goes.

Horn-O-Plenty as far as I can tell is a waste of your money. The clothes you win are Pang clothes, not Cookie clothes, and randomly chosen from what we already have available.

A shot so pro that it killed all the graphics (Or the camera got caught in the explosion, either or). I was so shocked that it actually went in that I forgot what button was the screenshot button so Lacerta had to screenshot it for me D:

I thought it was going way over, too. First ever Beam Impact HIO.

=O

I see your BI HIO


and raise you two more


Also getting a water hazard on Ice Cannon fucking sucks =/



They should have a little zone all around the water hazard where the ball can't be placed. Like 1-2 squares away from the edge so shit like that doesn't happen all the time forcing you to waste another stroke that costs you the fucking tournament =(

2x Gooooood!

i play albatross18 im Amateur E and i have all the the characters im not a bad player but im not too good but i try my best hehe

Does anyone still play this game? I'm thinking of getting back into it, since those few rounds with Juan were fun.

I play once in a while with Juan, usually whenever we are around at the same time.

I still play on and off. I'm trying to get to ama E, but only a Jr. A at this point. I gotta get more exp.

Hay guys, remember this game?

The Season 3 open beta has begun and lasts through this weekend. I've downloaded it and gave it a shot and I have to say I'm impressed. The stat changes are incredibly nice, the new interface looks great, and the Pangya Lobby Walkaround thing is a neat distraction. My only gripe is with Deep Inferno. That course is just one continuous kick in the balls. Long shots with high cliffs blocking your progress, annoying as hell skeletons and other obstacles, and I haven't played on it once where it doesn't have awful, awful wind.

This will be my new Silvia Cannon. I'll play it until I get my -1, and then never again. Never again.

You are still playing it?!

it's fun. you guy should try to get more involved.

I'll probably start playing more once the release of Season 3 rolls around.

I used to but like what? Roughly 4 years ago? Now I am in to Audition for casual gaming.

Season 3 release today. So awesome.

Get ready to set a course record on Deep Inferno, Taco.

-1 rite.

I'm still on the fence about buying those sword clubs -- assuming they come with the initial release of Revolution. Kaz can go screw himself I don't want his girlishness ruining my harem =(

There, got my -1 (-8, actually) on Deep Inferno, so now I can say I'm done with the course forever. However, I'll still have to play another Silvia Cannon to get my sticker back on that, as well as for the Pangya Island Tour.

However, in the Chat mode thing I've noticed a couple of tracks in the jukebox that don't have a course to go with them. They seem wintry-themed, anyone know what upcoming course they're from?

Ugh Albatross 18 S3 comes out and I forget my password and the answer to my secret question. ;_;

*wants to play S3 so bad*

Once I get my username/password working I go by trancemachina (surprise!) on there.

I like how I totally failed on Deep Inferno with like a +3, and then on my first time through West Wiz in about.... whenever the last time I got that sticker for it was I manage to get a -18, and an Eagle that was a result of a chip-in.

I guess I was just rusty on that first 18H.

(Now to complete the other 11 courses on the Pangya Tour)

w00t. Find out my password (after trying 50 diffrent combinations) and I can't beleive it was so laughably easy. >_>

S3 looks pretty cool. Definitely going to be clearing the Pangya Tour. You just have to beat it right, not get a good score or anything? My name is trancemachina in game if anyone sees me. I am a Rookie C or something since I didn't really whore out the game like I should have (I am pretty good though since I played the hell out of Super Swing Golf).

I'll be on after school today and most of the weekend (well no homework + no one home = bored).

Yeah, pretty sure it's just complete the course. The sticker fetish would demand you get at least -1 though!

Also for once I didn't own myself.

http://oic.houyokusen.com/pangya_045.jpg

I kind of wish I got more pang for that shot though.

Guess I should get back into this. I'll try to play when I have free time. Sadly that's a bit laughable right now.

I like how there hasn't been a post in this thread for months. I'll revive it with an announcement.

Pangya Season 4 has been announced! Sometime in the near (or far?) future, the Korean servers will be getting at least one new character, new courses, potentially new modes, and, of course, lots of clothes.

Season 4 Promo Video

Also Arin seems to have developed a dance that is sluttier than ever before. Looks promising!

They've done it. IMO they killed the game now.

Oh hey, is anyone still playing pangya? I didn't want to be a sad and alone Bob while trying to get back into this.

I still do, just hit me up on IRC sometime that isn't today or tomorrow. Because I just can't these days.

I take it the IRC hasn't changed then? I wasn't really sure since the whole "GFF splitting from bobo" thing.

the #pangya channel still exists but xelium is now psigenix so you will have to make the proper changes to connect to that IRC server, anyone that wants to join is welcome to.

Anyone still play this?

A couple of us picked up interest in the game again (thanks to a current 2x pang/exp event I guess), so now we've usually got around 4-5 people who play daily.

If anyone's still interested in playing, feel free to hit up #pangya or #rtfo on irc.psigenix.net (the latter channel will probably be the better choice for activity).

I'll play again as soon as I get my PC running. I've been missing pangya.

I still play this, obviously. :eagletear:

Kind of looking to make it on my permanent rotation of games if it lets me (despite numerous rumors of OGPlanet wanting to drop it due to having one of the worst contracts possible with another company, and their president making some of the worst business decisions possible within a company).

Anyway typical update junk:

The last thing to hit was last week (1/07/09) with:

http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1...107im01mh1.jpg
http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/456...107im02ug6.jpg

and

http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/7...107im01yp5.jpg

Now for boring discussion / situation of A18:

There is an update expected to hit next Thursday on the 22nd, most likely an eCard update (of which is up to debate on what it may be between fantasy outfits, wedding dresses, themed pajamas and kitty fursuits). The state of loligolf is still kind of ehhh. OGPlanet has fired pretty much every GM that used to exist from 2006~2007, and their new GMs are under contract to not communicate in any way with players in-game or do anything on their own unless they want to be fired. It's also still full of hackers who set their pang values to whatever they want, so the rare economy has gone from ~30-300k (depending on the rarity, character, and the overall "kawaii factor") to ~300k-9m. In a way it's good if you had items you wanted to ditch, but for people who wanted to buy the things they missed out on (which by OGP's A18 rules are only pang items, no eCard items like Korea) it's a big sadface.

I'm going to try to limit myself to ~100USD in any given month, the only things to really blow it on are Mr. eCard (44 attempts for 10USD), Time Boosters, or Pang Mastery. I'd say to a lesser extent Phoenixes too, but they usually go freebie phoenix happy sometimes so I don't bother. Clothing updates are really meh, pretty what all we have is the best there is to offer for those specific characters that is not from Papel or eCard. Another reason to try to limit myself is because if anyone buys Astros (formally known as Cookies back in the day) from OGPlanet, they will have noticed the Albatross 18 Astro options have been shafted tremendously from before. A18 & Rumble Fighters were not making very much money for OGP (which for RF I can understand, but A18? People blow 200USD a day sometimes just trying for specific eCards) compared to Cabal, so they set all the Astro prices based on a Cabal premium service model, so no matter what you buy, you get no bonuses. 200 Astros is 10USD, and 1000 is 50USD. No bonus astros, and no 4.95USD package either. There was another inbetween package that escapes me, 14.95USD I think, but they did away with whatever it was too.

I cycle between Kooh and Cecilia. Mostly focused on Cecilia because her setup is easier for me to play with as opposed to Kooh's (who is geared more for really long distances). Kind of bummed that I dropped 120Astros on Devil Wings for Kooh, then I play some Papel Shop and get Devil Feathers for Cecilia in 5 tries. I tried a bit more and got Devil Feathers for Scout (sup Juan). I've been trying to see if I can dig up Devil or Rainbow Feathers for Hana or Arin but no luck so far.

Anyway, some image spam from the last couple of holes with the badger and friends:



Just for my own hate (and to see what I blow my $ on):

I'm looking forward to Season 4, when you can dance with Bob and we can all gouge our eyes out.

YouTube Video

I've been wanting to give this game a shot actually for a while now, just out of plain curiosity. As I was filling in the registration form I came across the "Inviter's OGPlanet User ID" field. I don't know what you get for that exactly, but if anyone wants to say they invited me, send me your User ID I guess!

For what it's worth, here's the season 4 promo trailer. (Taco posted one but that's been removed)

YouTube Video

I'm just 3-holing Ice Spa with the other guys for the duration of the 2x pang event.

In regards to the grown up idol whore with breast physics that probably should not be in a golfing game:

Lucia - An idol singer. She enters the PangYa tournament in order to prove that music is not the only talent she has.

루시아 (Lucia)
Age: 17
Career: Pop Idol Singer
Power: 10
Control: 11
Accuracy: 9
Spin: 2
Curve: 3
Cost: 35,000 Pang

If you thought any of the other girls (except Hana because she's plain) had revealing outfits, Lucia puts all of them to shame.

Cecilia's Cowgirl outfit is kind of like well, a stereotypical cowgirl :eagletear:. Lucia's on the other hand...

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/2571/korea007os5.png

Yeah...

There's also a S4 course (much like how S3 brought Deep Inferno, or oh god the walls are closing in and I can't hit anything with 250y drive) called Lost Seaway, which you see various parts of in the trailer above. It's supposed to be an A rank course (aka easy mode).

Another perk of S4 (besides a somewhat totally revamped interface, again) is that the new ppic system (aka missing pangya) enables it so you always do the shot you intend to do; it just may not go where you intended it to go! This system is somewhat present in the Wii games and is a feature of Fantasy Golf PangYa Portable, so it's kind of nice that they added it here. On some courses, missing pangya means you water hazard, or OB, with S4 that's kind of negated unless your shot really relied on going where you wanted it to go.

An example would be Ice Spa Hole 3, where you can attempt to get decent overdrive by doing a Spike, missing the Spike ends up with Water Hazard. However with S4 even if you miss the pangya you will still get your overdrive unless your shot clashes the ice wall and dives into the water (but that's why you spin)

Here's my HIO I got entirely by accident (in tourney mode)

http://www.bigblah.net/upload/albatross18_000.jpg

It's been so long since I played, I haven't even successfully gotten a Tomahawk off.

Ahahahahahaaaaa. That is quite possibly the greatest news ever for pangya.

I dunno that that actually does anything, but if you really want to try it out a couple of our user IDs are present in the topic post.

I think they might have gotten rid of that feature (it used to give the person pang after they played so many days or something), but yeah could just use a person's ID I suppose.

In other news I am keeping the game free for everyone. I ended up doubling what I intended to spend, but I got what I wanted in the very end so I'm happy.

inb4tacomentionstheironyofanaccountantfallingintomoneysinks

To sort of expand on what it was I got. In December OGPlanet updated Mr. eCard with the 15th eCard Rare: Animal Suits. These furry suits are for Hana, Kooh, and Arin (sorry Ceci players, all 2 of you). Mr. eCard is a gambling system like the Papel Shop, except instead of pang you are spending eCards which cost Astros. Now I had tried 88 eCards prior to today and told myself I would stop and just wait for the next rare. However, for some reason I decided to abandon Cecilia and switch to either Hana, Kooh, or Arin. I was having bias towards Hana because she is the one character I have no clothes for besides a swimsuit.

After a long period of hate, and Taco and Saka tormenting me ingame (though Saka wasn't around until the very end) I got all the furry suits:



I was kind of mad that the one person I did not want I got first though. My only other comment is that considering the $ spent, I got really lucky. Some people have hit the weekly amount every week since they first popped up in December and have not gotten one yet.

Also because I told saka i'd post it up

http://oic.houyokusen.com/Pangya/Albatross18_030.jpg
http://oic.houyokusen.com/Pangya/Albatross18_031.jpg

It actually talks if you manage to hit pangya :eye:

I'm going to hate myself and, by proxy, Lace if/when the next e-card item is the Fantasy sets.

Edit: These.

http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/6...otice01ku9.jpg

I still hate Scout's because, seriously, give that boy some longer shorts. He's steadily making the progression to being a trap.

Well he is considered gay for Max.

I can honestly safely say unless the next eCard is Gothic Dresses or Gypsy Outfits I will be done with trying to get character outfits :mad:

Good thing unless OGP is really that spiteful it will not happen! Then again, they did bring Halloween outfits over so that might end up happening.

Halloween eCard was during S4 when Lucia was around, they brought it over but took her out of the data

I guess not many people (sorry chanic) ended up wanting to play, but that's okay. Our interest in the game had really died down since there was some confusion and concern over the future of the game. As a matter of fact, OGP decided to cease service in March. Normally this would be pretty sucky, but there's good news!

Ntreev.net

Ntreev USA, the local branch of the company that makes Pangya, has decided to pick up service on their own. Hopefully they'll also manage to get all the player data from OGP, but in any event the game should be much nicer to play with Ntreev at the helm.

So... anyone interested in playing March 2009?

Oshii~ Pangya's saved! Time to start taking screenshots of inventory!

PangyaUSA service is back up.

Huzzah! Account recovered! Thanks for the heads up Saka.

Hopefully this means we'll get some people playing again.

How the fuck am I supposed to remember what I put for the birth date?

Why can't they use email verification like normal fucking people?

Well the obvious answer would be your birth date. What the heck did you put in?

The "open beta" (lol catch all for fuckups) is live, after a very rocky road of account transfer mishaps including reversing everyone's genders.

All of my items are there, but pang and experience have been wiped. The Pang thing was intentional I'm pretty sure, though I can't say the same about the exp. It keeps your rank, but if you had any partial progress to the next level it's been lost.

My Brie... щ(ﾟДﾟщ)

Brotip: If you used some random-ass birthday you can always log in to OGPlanet and check it.

I guess I can't log in until after the next maintenance. I'll have to check back later.

Open beta's kind of interesting. Most noticeable is probably the fact that a bunch of names got changed to their Korean counterparts, like Uncle Bob -> Azer, Air Lance -> Air Knight, phoenix -> comet. I wonder if they'll switch it back to the established English terms.

Pang got set to 3,000 and exp (but not rank) is wiped, as previously mentioned. Luckily, I don't think I had much of either before OGP's service went down.

But... but... Bob... :(

Wow... happening to stumble across this thread really brought back a sense of nostalgia!

I use to play this game all the time on the Japanese servers until around the time they added that annoying Silvia Cannon course.

I remember by the time I stopped playing I had all kinds of calculators, screen overlays, and other crap <--- such a cheater :rolleyes:
I bet I would have gotten banned if I played on the U.S. servers... :eagletear:

I swear I picked up so many useless Japanese internet phrases that still haven't left me while playing that game... fun times...

*misses my little goth character :(

Partner: Pもらていい?
Me: Pどうぞ
Partner: <insert some random japanese smiley>
*Partner misses hole in one*
Me: ドンマイ "Don't mind"

All the Japanese you need to know to play... :p

Even though just about every person on GFF who still plays this is in the right IRC channel for it already, it's still worth a mention.

The US servers are being updated to Season 4 at the time of this post. They're slated to come online again at about 3 AM PST on 7/10. This will bring a new course, a new gameplay mode, a new character, and a lot of other bells and whistles.

Start playing again!
