A Beginner’s Guide to Golfing In Pangya - Golf MMO

Sometimes as gamers we feel like playing something that doesn’t always involve grinding a magic barrier to level 70 or leveling up a sniping skill to get one-shot kills in some mythical, battle-torn fantasy land. Sometimes, gamers just want to have fun, play with others and still level-up, casually. Pangya, once known as Albatross 18, is a strong running free-to-play MMO golfing game, and it definitely fits the bill of a “casually good time”. Now for new players it can still be a game that is overwhelming. So players looking to get in an information-advantage so they don’t get royally owned by some high-level golfer, can look no further than right here for a quick beginner’s guide for golfing in Pangya.

Unlike a lot of other golf simulators out there where you pick your character, some attire and hit the circuits for some tee-time fun, Pangya puts gamers in a slightly different position. Much like Mario Golf for Nintendo platforms or Hot Shots Golf for the PlayStation gaming platforms, Pangya is all about fantasy golf with over-the-top characters, vibrant animations, sparkling colors and completely ridiculous ways to make virtual golf more exciting, fun and unique.

First thing is first, after jumping into creating a character of choice the best thing to do is not spend any money on any accessory whatsoever. It’s easy to go into the game by buyin cash shop items and then trying to outfit a raging-bull newbie with some great premium clothes and clubs. However, the reality is that it’s best to outfit one’s character with absolutely nothing at the start of the game. In Pangya, playing style, courses and opponents should be observed first and foremost. Otherwise, you might find yourself with no cash, lousy items and a tough time trying to have fun.

The best thing to do at the start is find another newbie and do a round on the beginner map called the Blue Lagoon; explore the game’s variance of wind speed, club quality and the geometry of the course and how it affects swings and direction. A guide for the basics on the clubs to use and their respective distances can be found at the main website. Now the one thing that needs to be noted, however, is that while beginner players can speculate a match to get a feel for how the game is played it’s still best to participate in a match to understand how the ball physics and clubs work. Spend plenty of time just experimenting with hitting the ball at different points and with various amounts of spin to see how the ball responds under a mixture of conditions. This way, when the time comes, it won’t be a frightening experience in an intense match to use ball spin or an assortment of other tricks to get out of a sticky situation.
