Alicization Manga:
- Show previous comments 1 more
-
I've mostly stayed away from the LN so far so that I could enjoy it at my own pace whenever it came to anime or manga, though I know most of the beats so far.
-
But you gotta admit Alicization Arc beats previous arcs in SAO as Reki's writing style has improved significantly since the initial Aincrad Arc and I like the chemistry interactions between Kirito and Asuna in the Progressive series... so far (I'm at the middle of vol. 3)
-
I'm in the middle of volume 2 I think? Shortly after killing the spider queen and visiting the village again.
To me, however, it's been less about the quality of the characters or the storytelling and more about the setting.
-
Breaking news! Sub-Dungeons are dangerous again!
Any dungeons rolled for or entered starting today should use the new stats. Be careful, the new bosses HURT!

When I saw the dmg change, I thougth my healing would be needed. Seems I was wrong :)
PS. Working on the post in 1... 2... 3... Now!

With anyone else it would have... And if any of us get hit it definitely will!

btw, I think all things considered, Baldur will not be Opal's +1 to the wedding.
Laughing Coffin though? Well played. You're bringing life to all the canon orgs aren't you? KotB and LC?
May the dice gods be in your favor

"btw, I think all things considered, Baldur will not be Opal's +1 to the wedding"
LOL

Best line ever

They will know our names, we are Laughing Coffin.
Humans are simply pigs to the slaughter, like every single other animal. They are the most cruel, evil, and barbaric species on this planet. Yet some call themselves 'nice' or they even go so far as to say they 'want to save the Earth'. Don't speak that crap to me, I know what game you're playing. Humans are ONLY interested in THEMSELVES! As such, Laughing Coffin will need to GET RID of these filthy beings, they are better off DEAD than ALIVE!
Join me, my brothers and sisters in Aincrad, for we will cleanse the world for impurity!

Challenge for those who dare!!
I had a conversation with people on discord today about what their favorite quest was and why and I got some great answers.
So here is my challenge. Take a more plain, ordinary quest, and spice it up! Show me what you guys want out of a quest by example. Is it choice and consequence? A narrative? A chance to actually fail the quest? This is your chance to show me if my suspicions are true.

Sub quests within quests would be cool. Extra objectives to achieve during a quest that give extra rewards for going above and beyond. I'd say to make the sub quest objectives harder than the quest in general to up the difficultly and give it a real risk vs reward feel to choosing whether or not to try taking it on.

More burrito themed quests

How about Tacos instead?

Event Brainstorming!
What kind of events would you like to see in SAO-RPG to really liven this place up, and try to break out of some of the routine we've built up? We've got the quarterly boss fights, but I'm looking for some new ideas, or something you've seen that was really cool and hasn't been repeated!

@Hirru yup, I still have the mechanics for the fencing tournament somewhere around. Last time I didn't do it because just a couple of people we're on board with the idea. For those interested on how it works I'll look for the thread and link it here on a later reply.
Basically it still depended on rolls but instead of damage you gained point by hitting a certain body part.. the first to reach X amount of points wins the 'duel'.
Though it is still dice dependant, people can't one shot each other. Example: the duel I had with Cal to test the mechanics we were almost even in score despite him having higher... almost everything except damage.
-
Here:
Maybe modify the system to allow two handed weapons though while keeping it point based? >0>
-
yeah that one. People didn't get it that one can use any kind of item (weapons in this case) in the game. The only downfall was that you didn't get to use the weapon's SAs if you didn't invest in the skill. In this case native 1 handed users had a +2 points advantage but basically everybody could join as damage is irrelevant in this 'duel' style.
I'm open to ideas in how to improve the fencing concept:D
-
FYI - We need more tanks and healers for the front line! If you're a tank or healer in Tier 2, let me know!

Haz is 31. Cosi I think is either about to hit T2 or just recently hit it. Don't know Kairi well enough. Su is still pretty low, as is Krysta. If you want me to focus my powerposting elsewhere, I can start powering up Katagawa for tanking (she's only 12 right now though).
-
Kairi is like level 31ish as well but she is more of a bruiser like Hazado is. DPS/Tank. Krysta is borderline T2.
-
Happy to help here tho as spoken about before, im still level 31 atm but can put in some power postin to go higher
-
I broke down the One Hand weapons for the new patch. If you're a one hand user, it might be useful to help you digest the changes!

Also note to everyone - AoE farming is going to be a thing of the past. With mob HP going up, you're gonna need to form groups if you want to farm. Materials are about to get a lot harder to come by!
-
That means the merchant gonna get ALOT more customers :)
-
I'll take that as a challenge.
-
I just saw your face claim. I used Jude as my avatar for a while :)
-
I never saw this until now, sorry about that. But that's pretty awesome! It's one of my favorite games.

-
I'm curious. If you had to pick ONE thread, or ONE post, that you would say you were the most proud of, which one would you pick?
-
Probably the one thread I wrote while drunk. It's complete nonsense.
-
Tbh-
This one.

For one thread? Definitely my shop's thread u.u I put a lot of work into setting it up, especially photoshopping the pictures and fixing the code for the layout. And for one post, actually the first crafting post in my shop thread. Rolled a perfect on my very first try! So proud~

If you plan to participate in the floor 18 boss fight, make sure you're currently assigned to a group! Remember, the rules of how the boss fights work have changed, so make sure you're familiar with them.
If you have any questions, let me know!

Im thinking I'll wait for the next fight. Just to be safe.
-
That's a good call, Hakai. This is our first boss battle with a bunch of new balance and systems in place, so it may be tougher than anyone is prepared for :P
-
Boss planning thread is now closed, however nothing to say you can't do an OP trying to decide your teams :)
-
It's one of those Mondaze where I feel like my eyes are rattling around in my head. Hopefully I can dive back in and start doing some more RP again soon. I didn't get any bites though, is no one waiting for me for a reply?
@Zandra Did we not continue with the dungeoneering thread? Maybe we could do a scouting thread and hit up a dungeon ^_^

Yeaaa boi! <3
-
Indeed! Should throw down sometime.
-
I'd be down for a thread if you want one.
-
Just a reminder to everyone. 150 words is the minimum for a valid post. Multiple posts like this in a thread will jeopardize not only that posters SP, but the thread's validity.
Encourage your fellow writers to take pride in their posts, and make sure you're giving your writing partners something to work with :)
-
Just an update for those curious. There's going to be a small update to skills/items related to healing since we've had our health totals increased so much. We're waiting to start the boss fight to get this update out (since it'll be relevant :P).
There was no big October update as there was in the past couple months, because the Staff team has been working on a MASSIVE update, which includes a complete revamping of the site guide (something that was started back when I was voted to be Player Rep).Thank you for your patience, and we can't wait to show you what we've been working on!

Excuse you Ariel! :P I'm not slacking off, but I have been less active due to working on my coding bootcamp work XD
-
That sounds like an excuse used by someone who's been slacking off:))
(Okay and to make myself clear: Baldur is right! I'm just messing with people)
-
>.>
<.<
I'm not slacking off I swear! :P(I know, I just enjoy poking at things XD)
-
Just wanted to let everyone know I am not, in fact, dead.
I still love it here, and really want to come back, but I currently have no work/life balance. Hopefully this will change in the next week or two as I struggle to get caught up. I will be coming back, it's just a matter of when life decides to let me.
Don't die while I'm gone!

Labyrinth Scouting Announcement!
It was brought to staff's attention that there was a type which required defeating 30 mobs per player. It has been corrected to a minimum of 20 mobs, or 5 per player, whichever is more.
I highlighted the changes in the guide.
Sorry for the confusion.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful day with family, friends, and relaxation.

Question for everyone: What would make you want to join a guild? What would make you want to form a guild?
I want to make guilds more important to the site and to characters. They're shown to be very important in the anime and the novel, and in MMO's in general.
I realize housing/guild halls are currently a bit lackluster, and we'll be working on that, but what would you like to see from the Guilds themselves specifically?

Good ideas, you guys have gotten my creative juices flowing.

Glad to help ^-^

Sorry guys, I know I haven't been around much lately, but the reason is... I'm getting married on Saturday! :D
Also, at work, I'm finishing up a MAJOR project and have been working 7 days a week.
So life has been busy, but I will return! Until then, I leave you in the capable hands of Tak and Mack!

Sorry to people who feel I've ghosted on them. I am still around. I'm finishing my project, have been to multiple funerals, been to a convention, and am about to board a flight to South Korea. Once that's settled, I'll catch up on my threads.
Thanks for understanding!
