Tristan Delaney

I didn't see a problem with doing the report like that to verify it. But then again were not the staff so we can't really say anything about trustworthyness or possible time consumption though. 

If we did that, I'd have to look into a larger PST team. Will add to possibilities for sure though, even if tracking legacy RPs in consequence of such a change would be a painful one time process.

You could make it up to the players to send a message about the threads they have that qualify so that the staff doesn't have to look themselves? Give us a little responsibility too. 

In any case thanks for keeping an open mind about it. I think I an speak for all of us when I say I appreciate it. (And don't worry, we'll stop being little girls about all this soon haha)

I mean, that thought had crossed my mind. So I wouldn't be super upset, but that's why I asked. Even if it's just a consideration I appreciate it, so thanks for looking into it Tristan. :)

I'd like to point out Katana requires a bit of dedication and time, not to mention extra SP, while Martial Arts just required you complete a quest. Katana is slightly better equipped to make the effort put into it worth the time.

And you guys are making fair points. It's not that I disagree, nor is it that huge because ultimately Emerath's real skills will be focused on healing and other support type things. But I just thought having something a bit more well rounded to start his career and have a good solid combat backup while I work on building his first aid skill would be nice is all.

So I got it right without knowing the person's name?

I'll treat it as a partial answer and share half the PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE with you <3

I'm not cut out for stuff like that yet, I guess I'll try my hardest to level up as much as possible then see if I want to join the event.

Trying to send more lambs to the slaughter Manta? :P

Nope.I do my best to save/help everyone. Heck, I was giving out free safeguards for the boss battle, it seems like no one wanted them though. 

Am I making the thread?

Sure :) yeah sorry been very busy 

Hope we get good rolls.

*facepalm*

I see, I shan't read it then.

Later today I'm going to be reintroducing a inexplicably removed mechanics where you could break down crafts for Col at a merchants, if that is of any aide.

Probably. I'll take a look when it's done and if I'm still confused I'll just ask

Ive added them in now. 

Basically they have two roles. They can sell general items or equipment from the store, or they can discover hidden enhancements on equipment that isnt a perfect with appraisal.

It is when you are told you have type 2 diabetes.

Hmmm I see your point, That does make sense. Gah I dunno *scratches head* TRISTAN, clarify please <3

I believe what Teayre said is correct, but Tristan can clarify. This situation actually occurred when Oikawa and I were dueling, as his shield and my sword had Paralyze. I scored a critical hit on him, but since his shield triggered on a 9-10, it was a "simultaneous" paralyze effect. So that time a "round" went by with neither of us taking an attack, similar to this where a Paralyze weapon triggers on a Parry.

If that is the case, then Parry would function similar to the Paralyze enhancement on a shield, where it triggers on a hit. If that is the case, then the attack would be stunned for his next post, giving a evasion free attack for the defender on their post immediately following the Parry. In terms of Paralyze, I normally RP it as ending on the post of the trigger...er (If I Paralyze an opponent, then the effect ends effectively on my turn). So then in this case, weirdly, the attacker is the triggerer, so the effect ends effectively on their turn:

P2 Parries -> P1 Attacks and is Stunned (Effect "Starts") -> P2 Attacks / No EVA for P1 -> P1 foregoes turn (Effect "Ends") -> P2 Attacks Normally

Note: Seeing that flow can be a bit confusing, as it doesn't trigger in a fashion that has happened in the past, because it effectively doesn't trigger on your "turn." However, I think people that had Paralyze on their shields in the past probably had a similar scenario.

Calrex explained it well enough.

I can make stuff.

I have Jevi making my Odachi but I rarely see her on and last I know she had run out of mats, despite me PMing her asking if she needed more. Honestly want that weapon for the RP pros it will bring. If it doesnt get done in another week or two, I'll probably have you make the Odachi, Mack. :) Since you can make stuff.

Aww snap!

Regen got buffed! +9 HP!

For me..

The day after I get a perfect sword xD
Time to save up to try and get a tier 2 one.

Got 2 perfect armor yesterday ...

-falls over- We need to replace our old weapons!? Oooh man, I just finished editing my signature this morning. Oh for the love of gravy!! Lol

It requires both a weapon and unarmed, so if they had the right skill levels in both martial arts and their weapon skills, they could.

I am a little confused on the logistics of a sword art where you throw the sword since there used to be a huge RP debate about throwing weapons and how that constitutes what the follow up post action can do or if throwing the weapon would even allow the weapon to hit a target and do damage.

Because sword arts are automatically executed by the system. This is a cannon form of sword art as seen with <<Meteor burst>> 

Canonically, crystals were not possible to obtain in the lower levels of Aincrad.  Though, it isn't said when they were available, or if players could create crystals themselves.

Well this sucks. What does status update do? I found it confusing.

What's interesting I was actually thinking earlier today about why you would ever use a potion (or make one) over a crystal. And now I know why. There was a rule that everyone ignored. And in comes the rule changes. I'm fine with it. Makes the option between crystals and potions an actual option.

Aye they are.

Alright, I'll get the thread started... I'll have to sacrifice my Accuracy Bonus in favor of those Light Generating Gauntlets I have :) They come with Heavy Momentum... so, ramp up the DPS even further to stupidly high levels.

Lol I'll sit out of the Banshee quest, since Tristan and I just finished yet, but I'll jump in on the Cerberus quest.

If you are THAT interested, it's the one in my journal on floor 3 that has "ambush" in the name. There are two parts.

Oh geeze, XD. Nah it's alright

Your Welcome.

I recommend status affects like bleed if you're struggling with mitigation on enemies.

I got 2 thorns on my armour, and no matter what, it can literally only do one DMG to me the entire time

Well GG, looks like you got a good build against it. Equipment is basically what gives you the edge over Gemini.

Oh geeze right XD. I'll check with him on that.

Are you game to start it? I'm at work.

Sure, hang on

I want to try get excellent tier, I though about an idea that worth trying ^_^

But I am not sure if this will work, so I need an adventurers :P

Yeah 'll inquire on the rumours, as they are an old thing and Im not sure how they translated over, if at all.

If they are stile exist in RP we can play by it ^^

You should see Tristan and my duel. Half of it was parrying, the other half was Tristan's shield exploding on me XD

Pfft! But now you won't even do damage during that standstill xD It will be hilarious none-the-less!

Parry was stupidly broken (similar to block) in the summer duels. I like how that is changed in duels to give damage dealers a chance XD.

Who starts the thread?

Someone else has a weapon with the name "Maelstrom" in it? XD But yeah Tristan's right, Paralyze weapons wreck the Banshee, but definitely you might want to take a max damage, or Bleed dealing weapon for the undead guardians, since they have mitigation.

I have a +2 Dam. w/ Bleed weapon... so we're set there too :)

So I could wear for example +3 Damage Mit Helmet, +3 Damage Spear and +2 Evasion (caps at 2) +1 Thorns trousers.

ho, (dame the evasion got a cap).

accuracy don't have a cap right?

All skills have a cap. Check the guide in the status to see it. It is either 2 or 3. Some cap at 2, but having a third slot increases the activation rate, like Paralysis and Bleed.

Pass them one of Mari's Obsessive Allure potions when you're at it XD

Genius!

Sign me up.

Sweet stuff. I am going to drain the SP from my Curved Sword skill (and as a direct result lose katana and regain the SP from that ;D) and shall be taking that sweet Wild Dance.

Claw weapons and fist fighting is one of my favorite things, so that it's somewhat combined with martial arts just hits all the right buttons for me!

One question though. As far as the actual claws go, how do they affect martial arts abilities if at all? Example, I am using the claws and want to use a martial arts sword art(Example the 6x1 aoe since claws lack many aoe options). Would the sword art benefit from the +3 damage of my claw weapon enhancements, or would I need a +3 damage gauntlet/handwrap for that?

In my ideal world I can use the claws to boost both the actual weapon skill and the martial arts damage, rather than need to have two gauntlets equipped. You know?

You would need a gauntlet hand wrap and to unequip the claws. Because exclusively martial arts on its own is barehanded and well...claws are weapons.

Makes sense, thanks for the answer, I'll follow that :)

I do have to disagree with the unequipped thing somewhat though because of technicality, as with Kirito when he used martial arts to kill that one man. He didn't so much remove his sword so much as have it out of his hands. So yeah, dropping the sword and then using a martial arts would be suitable, but I agree with a claw weapon that would be very inconvenient to do, so your point remains correct. If I was still using Katana I would debate stabbing my sword into the ground, or even sheathing it, and then using a martial arts sword art would be possible.

Omg Takao. Olan Rogers is fantastic.

It's a Monday... XD
