EoJ Version 1.01

It seems Sony has been working hard on fixing the issues plaguing some online players recently in Eye of Judgement. They released a network update earlier today with two main fixes:

1. Improved connectivity with opponents in online mode – Many people have been having connection issues with the game, so to hear that this has been noticed and taken care of is great news.

2. Better balanced COM AI in Battle Arena Mod – What this means exactly, we aren’t sure. Perhaps the computer will become smarter (or a bit dumber in lower difficulties) so that the selected difficulty will give better competition to a wider range of players skill.

For info on how to update your game version, please check the official site. There are some steps to ensure you apply the patch correctly so read carefully.

Remember, you will not be able to play online until you have installed this update.

Happy Battling!

Eye of Judgment Network Update

One of the community managers at the European PlayStation forms has spilled the beans on a network update to everyone’s favorite game — Eye of Judgment. It is still unclear if this update if just for the PAL regions or will carry over across all the territories where EoJ is released. Still, what does the update consist of?

• Reinforcement of COM AI in Battle Arena Mode.
• Optimization of network connection for Online Mode.

Good news for the back-end of the game because more and more issues were cropping up about connections dropping. We are not clear on what “reinforcement of COM AI” is but it SOUNDS good.

The update will hit on November 12, some places are incorrectly reporting it as Nov. 9 but the forum post has since been amended. Don’t get confused with the 12/11 part because Europe likes to keep us Yankees on our toes by switching the month and day.

Happy Birthday Groovester!

One day a year, you celebrate the day of you’re birth with friends, family and other loved ones. Today happens to be that day for Groovester!  From all of us in the community, we wish you a Happy Birthday! Hopefully it has been a great day, and there will definatly be many more to come. Of course, this means that there may not be an article from our friend for a day or two… but it’s a legitimate excuse and totally understandable. Enjoy tonight, and hopefully the morning wont be too bad!

P.S. - Save me some Cake!

New Shipments Arriving?

Word on the street is that more EoJ bundles are showing up around the place. While we can offer no definitive proof, personal accounts of people finding the bundle are popping up. This is great news for people who have had poor luck just trying to find the game — much less the Phantom cards.

What isn’t arriving are booster packs. Stores are still sold out and you’ll be a lucky person to find a couple hanging on the shelves. However, atleast in Canada, Boosters are expected to arrive at card shops on the 3rd of November provided there is no shipping delay.

This begs an interesting question, did Sony underestimate the popularity of the game? You can’t blame them for holding back on shipments, there are a lot of moving parts to the EoJ that could scare off the average consumer. News like this is very encouraging not only for the fact it’s always great to see a game you like to well in sales but for the staying-power of EoJ.

It will be a sigh of relief when anyone who wants or is curious about Eye of Judgment is able to get their hands on the game and cards. It’s only a matter of time now but for those that are just finding the game, be sure to check out the new players guide.

Penny Arcade Comic

The Penny Arcade, a well respected source in the gaming world, did a comic on the EoJ since they played it. Reading their posts, they are big fans of the game, which we think that is totally cool (might we add they have good taste in games). Without further ado, prepare your laughing reflex in advance-
