Bastion Flyff - Sieges & Dungeons!

Server is LIVE!

About Me / Introduction

 Spoiler

Hey everyone, I'm happy to finally be able to put my server available for players! I have been working on the server since about august. At the moment it is completely made by myself alone (I have some help with GMing but development wise its all me).

It started out as just a test to learn more about flyff and development myself. I didn't think about launching it first but after getting some nice ideas and showing it to friends. They encouraged me to at least try to put it live and see how it goes from there.

My vision with the server is not to become the new top tier server, I'd be happy to be a small scale server as long as I can sustain the server costs with it. Because I am alone it is fairly low budget server. No fancy models or animation or SFX, no complete rework of towns and dungeons. No big new features. It is esentially v15 to its core with improvements and changes. But still flyff to its core.

About BastionFlyff

 Spoiler

BastionFlyff is built on v15. The primary focus is to be a PvP server and to keep a classic feeling of Flyff while maintaining the freshness with updated content.

The aim is to allow anyone to start playing and sieging in the server without the need to endlessly grind for penya or equipment. We want to minimize the amount of brainless grinding Flyff inherently has and instead focus on the fun parts.

Leveling has been completely removed from the server, as you can level up to max level in less than a minute by simply killing the Aibatts. In addition to this, we offer a range of free items in our NPC's which will be enough for a player to get started right away.

However this does not mean the server is void of progression. In addition to the Guild Siege which is ran hourly, there are various other PvE elements within the server like the Giants and Dungeon.
These combined with the rewards from Guild Siege can be used to further improve your equipment and max out your character.

To keep things fresh and interesting, various classes are updated with renewed and updated skills to allow as many different builds and playstyles as possible. New quests are also planned to be added to the server. For the initial release there is one story-quest available. We plan to add more quests for the players in the future.

Everything should be up, We did do a quick patch yesterday but it was only down for about 10 minutes or so.

if you are having trouble logging into the game, make sure you have created ingame accounts through the website.

Also I am aware that the website and patcher are fairly slow to load. When I have more budget I will look at upgrading the webhosting for these so that they are faster.

Hey everyone,

I just want to say we had a really big update yesterday and we hit a new server peak today! The update we've done is to bring the server more into a siege server feel and increase support for newer players.

As the server is still in beta I expect more and more updates to come that will lessen the gap between new player and maxed player and donor player.

A summary of the patch notes can be found on our forums:

Some of the core changes that happens in the server is lowering the cost of a lot of RC items and increasing the power of some free items and increasing the upgrade caps to be all max. We also increased the awakening rates and added more donor items to the RC shop.

This allows new players to get started faster and also get their gear upgraded from RC faster. And this also allows established free to play players to get donor gear faster from playing.

I hope to make this server the #1 available Siege Server out there!

Hey everyone just want to give a quick update. Last weeks there have been two big patches that helped mix up the balance. The server is still trying to find a good place in the balance so expect a lot of things to shift still.

One of the big features added yesterday was the ability to vend for red chips. This should make things a lot easier now that people can buy/sell items without needing to be constantly online or shouting.

Hey Everyone,

Just want to give a quick update on the status of the server. We have been doing well and managed to hit a new server peak yesterday. Patches are coming in steadily on every Friday. The latest patch had some major balance changes and various small fixes and new items added.

I'm trying to stick to a Patch ever Friday schedule but the size of the patch can vary. Usually any major shifts to balance will only happen once every two weeks so that there is time to adjust to the new changes.

In addition to that there was a public poll about the location of the server. And due to the result I will be moving the Server from Europe to US West Coast somewhere either this weekend or next weekend!

This is mostly due to the majority of the population is from either US or Asia meaning that the server re-location to US will benefit them the most while minimally impacting the european players. There is no wipe with this change, all characters will be unaffected.

I am also working on a new Website in the meantime, which will probably take a while to fully round up and work on but once it is done it should improve the experience of the website a lot both visually and the fact the current one is very slow.

Hope to see you all join in on Bastion soon!

[FlyffDeveloper]

-Bump-

It's been a while since I posted an update here. But I would like to just give a quick round up of whats been happening with the server.

The server has had ups and downs but in general we are a stable but small community with 15-30 people playing at any time. Its nice and community driven but we could definitely use more players as always.

The vision and direction of the server has shifted more from trying to be a siege server to be a server where PvE and PvP both share an equal role.

We still have the hourly siege and free beginner gear, we won't ever stray away from that. But we no longer support the fact that you can start sieging without any PvE beforehand. However you are free to try, we would always recommend to PvE a bit to get your gear going.

As for updates to the server, we have added various new items and fashions to the game and we have finally released our new Dungeon map that comes with new and unique skills you can unlock.

Overall there is more to do with more items in the server and more quality of life fixes. We're still working on getting the PvP balance right but this is ofcourse a lengthy process.

Hope to see you all ingame soon!
